NEW YORK (AP) — The Latest on the Iran sanctions trial of a Turkish banker (all times local): 10:45 a.m. A U.S. prosecutor says Turkish gold trader Reza Zarrab has pleaded guilty to charges and will reveal at a New York trial how he helped Iran evade U.S. sanctions in an “economic jihad.”

Assistant U.S. Attorney David Denton said Tuesday that Zarrab will be a key witness against Turkish banker Mehmet Hakan Atilla. The prosecutor said the scheme to evade U.S. sanctions against Iran since 2011 enabled billions of dollars to be moved and threatened U.S. security.   Continue reading “The Latest: Prosecutor: Turkish gold trader pleaded guilty”

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — Families of Navajo war veterans who were honored at the White House say they were dumbfounded that President Donald Trump used the event to take a political jab at a Massachusetts senator, demeaning their work with an unbreakable code that helped the U.S. win World War II.

Trump turned to a nickname he often deployed for Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren during the 2016 presidential campaign: Pocahontas. He then told the three Navajo Code Talkers on stage Monday that he had affection for them that he doesn’t have for Warren.  Continue reading “Trump’s ‘Pocahontas’ jab stuns families of Navajo war vets”

Yes, this is a true story.  I was completely shocked when I learned about this too, and this just underscores the importance of repealing the individual mandate immediately.  Shortly after taking office, President Trump issued an executive order which was intended to move the IRS away from enforcing Obamacare’s individual mandate, but now the IRS has found a way around that executive order.  According to the official AARP website, the IRS has announced that it will not process any tax returns from individuals that are not willing to disclose whether they currently have health insurance or not…   Continue reading “Obamacare’s Revenge: The IRS Will Not Process Your Tax Return Unless You Tell Them Whether You Have Health Insurance Or Not”

Russia scrambled a Su-30 fighter jet after detecting an American ?8? Poseidon reconnaissance aircraft over the Black Sea, according to a Defense Ministry statement. The US spy plane was approaching at high speed to the Russian border, the ministry said. The Russian fighter jet buzzed the US Navy reconnaissance plane at around 1pm local time (10:00 GMT) as it was flying over the neutral waters of the Black Sea, the ministry said.

“After moving closer, the Russian [Su-30] fighter jet flew over the object and visually identified it as an American reconnaissance aircraft ?8? Poseidon,” the statement reads. After the spy plane was intercepted by the Russian Air Force, the US aircraft changed course and flew away.   Continue reading “Russian Fighter Jet Flies Within 50 Feet Of US Spy Plane Causing “Violent Turbulence””

Hundreds of military officials – including some of the highest-ranking brass in the Navy – are accused of helping a shadowy Asian merchant fleece Uncle Sam for tens of millions of dollars… and you probably haven’t heard a peep about it.

It’s called the “Fat Leonard” scandal, and the investigation into bribes and corruption one of the biggest in U.S. military history. The Navy has investigated 440 people, including 60 admirals, for possibly taking bribes in exchange for phony government contracts and sweetheart deals.   Continue reading “ONE-THIRD of all Navy brass caught in huge foreign bribery scandal”

When the Supreme Court set the standard for expert testimony admissibility in the seminal case, Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 509 U.S. 579 (1993), it was a precedential turning point. However, the current standard, though founded by the Daubert Court, is also deeply rooted in its progeny. Referred to as the Daubert trilogy, the two cases that came after Daubert greatly contributed to the final standard used today to admit expert testimony. While the Court in Daubert enumerated the factors to be considered when evaluating the reliability of expert testimony, General Electric Co. v. Joiner, 522 U.S. 136 (1997) addressed the appellate standard of review of a trial court’s admissibility ruling. Finally, Kumho Tire Co. v. Carmichael, 526 U.S. 137 (1999), the Court applied the Daubert standard to nonscientific expert testimony. Taken together, these three cases have crafted the current standard for expert testimony admissibility.  Continue reading “The Daubert Trilogy: Navigating the Standard for Expert Witness Challenges”
