DOJ launches grand jury probe into UAW president over alleged favors and retaliation

The Department of Justice has opened a grand jury investigation into allegations that United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain used his authority to benefit his fiancée and retaliate against a senior union member who objected, based on monitors’ reports led by Neil Barofsky. Fain denies the findings, calling them bogus, while the monitor has deferred formal disciplinary action pending the federal probe; the investigation could impact his bid for a second term as UAW president.

"Expanding Investigation: Pennsylvania Attorney General Unveils 5 New Jehovah's Witnesses Child Sex Abuse Cases"

The Pennsylvania Attorney General, Michelle Henry, has announced five new cases of alleged child sex abuse involving Jehovah's Witness members. These cases stem from a 2019 grand jury investigation into child sex abuse within Jehovah's Witness congregations. The defendants, all adult men in positions of trust, gained access to the victims through the organization. Four of the men have been arrested, while a fifth is being sought. The offenses occurred decades ago, but the trauma endured by the survivors persists. The grand jury has charged a total of 14 people so far, with one suspect dying by suicide during arrest attempts.

"Trump and Republicans defend against Manhattan DA probe delay"

Former President Donald Trump is set to speak at a rally in Waco, Texas, as a grand jury in New York considers whether to bring criminal charges against him for alleged hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. At the rally, Marjorie Taylor Greene claimed that conservatives are the "beaten spouse" of the left and argued that Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg "should be arrested." House Republicans are considering protecting Trump with a law shielding ex-presidents from prosecution. Ted Nugent called for a "moment of silence for the political prisoners in the gulags of Washington DC," while MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell claimed that Trump's call to Georgia election officials was "the best call in history."

Trump's Former Attorney Michael Cohen Discredited in Grand Jury Investigation.

Robert Costello, a former legal adviser to Michael Cohen, testified before a Manhattan grand jury and sought to discredit Cohen as a liar on a "revenge tour." Costello described Cohen as being in "a manic state" when they met for the first time in April 2018. Cohen repeatedly met with investigators and spent two days testifying before the grand jury about Trump's alleged role in the payments, including potential campaign finance violations and falsification of business records. Costello said he has given five packets of materials that contain hundreds of emails between Cohen and his law firm from 2018 and 2019 to the Manhattan district attorney and Trump's lawyers.
