Judge conditionally cancels Comey hearing if waiver filed in Trump threat case

A North Carolina federal judge said Comey’s upcoming initial appearance could be canceled if he files a waiver by Friday; the hearing would proceed otherwise. The DOJ backs the waiver option. Comey faces two charges for allegedly threatening President Trump via a seashells photo, each carrying up to five years in prison. Comey has denied wrongdoing and has already appeared in a Virginia court for an initial proceeding.

Trump extends Jones Act waiver to stabilize energy costs amid Iran conflicts

Trump extends the Jones Act waiver for 90 days to help stabilize energy prices amid Iran-related disruption, noting that 40+ tankers have used the waiver and more than 9 million barrels of U.S. oil have reached domestic ports, while critics say the move benefits oil traders more than consumers and could undermine the domestic maritime industry.

Zelensky rails at US extension of Russia oil waiver

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the US decision to extend a waiver allowing Russia to sell oil despite Western sanctions until May 16, arguing that every dollar from such sales funds Moscow’s war. Washington says the measure eases an energy crunch linked to the broader Iran-related conflict and the US-Israel war, while Zelensky cited Russia’s shadow fleet and potential revenue around $10 billion that could fuel further strikes as Ukraine endures ongoing drone and missile attacks.

Bulls release Jaden Ivey after anti-LGBTQ remarks on social media

Coach Billy Donovan said the decision underscored a standard of professionalism and concern for players’ well-being.

Bucks Waive Cam Thomas to Elevate Pete Nance

Milwaukee Bucks waived Cam Thomas to promote Pete Nance to a multiyear contract. Thomas, on a minimum-salary deal for the rest of the season, averaged 10.6 PPG in 18 games with Milwaukee. If he clears waivers, he becomes a free agent but cannot play in the playoffs; Milwaukee would incur an $844,607 dead-money cap hit if he clears, and any team that claims him would inherit his cap hit.

White House weighs 30-day Jones Act waiver to ease energy flows

The White House is considering a limited 30-day waiver of the Jones Act to allow more flexible movement of energy products between U.S. ports, a move that could provide some relief to gasoline prices, though experts say any impact would likely be modest amid broader supply- and market-driven factors, including Iran-related disruptions and a planned release from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve.

US Grants Short-Term Waiver for India to Import Stranded Russian Oil

The US Treasury issued a 30-day waiver allowing Indian refiners to purchase Russian oil stranded at sea to keep global supplies flowing, describing it as a short-term stopgap and saying Russia won’t gain significant financial benefit. Washington also expects India to eventually buy more US oil. Indian refiners have been buying Russian cargoes amid an oil crunch, with about 20 million barrels contracted so far, and state refiners continue talks with traders for prompt deliveries.
