Arcadia Mayor to plead guilty as foreign agent for China, resigns

Arcadia, California, Mayor Eileen Wang will plead guilty to acting as an illegal agent for the Chinese government and has resigned.

"Florida Man's Guilty Plea: Threatening Supreme Court Justice's Life"

A Florida man, Neal Sidhwaney, has pleaded guilty to making an interstate threat to injure a Supreme Court justice. Sidhwaney left a threatening voicemail message in which he stated, "I will fucking kill you." Although the targeted justice was not identified in court papers, Sidhwaney revealed during a psychological evaluation that he had threatened Chief Justice John Roberts. Sidhwaney, who suffers from delusional disorder with psychosis, could face up to five years in prison, but defendants typically receive less time under federal guidelines. The court filings do not indicate what prompted the threat, but security around the high court and the justices has been increased due to previous threats.
