"Michael Cohen's Testimony Rocks Trump's Fraud Trial"

Michael Cohen returns to the witness stand in Donald Trump's New York state civil fraud trial. Cohen, Trump's former fixer, testified that Trump wanted to "reverse-engineer" his net worth and directed Cohen and Allen Weisselberg to alter financial statements to achieve the desired net worth. Cohen also stated that Trump had final control over business operations, implicating him in decisions that enabled alleged fraud. The New York attorney general's office is working to prove that Trump and his inner circle conspired to defraud lenders and insurers with inflated property valuations.

Iran Detains 9 Baha'i Members for Smuggling Medicine and Financial Corruption

Iran's intelligence ministry has arrested nine members of the Baha'i faith, accusing them of smuggling medicine and engaging in financial wrongdoing. The arrested individuals, including members of the same family, allegedly operated a network of pharmacies and bribed medics to direct clients to their establishments. Iran has a history of persecuting and prosecuting members of the Baha'i faith on charges of spying and security threats, as the religion is banned in the country. The Baha'i community claims to have faced persecution from Shiite clerics in Iran since the religion's inception, with the intensity increasing after the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
