Unruly passenger got duct-taped after trying to open a plane’s door while it was mid-flight
DALLAS — An assertive group of cross-country travelers pinned and duct-taped an unruly passenger mid-flight this week after he allegedly tried to force open a plane door at 30,000 feet, according to public safety records and someone onboard.The tussle on the Milwaukee-to-Dallas-Fort Worth flight is the latest example of apparent air passenger misbehavior – a problem that’s worsened for airlines since before the pandemic, with at least 1,854 incidents reported this year to the Federal Aviation Administration.Aboard American Airlines 1915, the disruptive passenger told a flight attendant in the front galley on Tuesday’s flight he wanted – he needed – “to exit the aircraft now,” according to a report from the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport Department of Public...

Bill Hwang was found guilty of fraud in a case that cost Wall Street banks billions of dollars in losses
Archegos boss sentenced to prison over massive fraud
NEW YORK — Former Wall Street investor, Sung Kook "Bill" Hwang, has been sentenced to 18 years in prison in a massive fraud case that cost banks billions of dollars.The sentence comes after Hwang was found guilty of fraud and market manipulation in a case linked to the failure of his investment fund Archegos Capital Management in 2021."The amount of losses that were caused by your conduct are larger than any other losses I have dealt with," US District Judge Alvin Hellerstein said before announcing the sentence, in quotes cited by Reuters news agency.The prison term was slightly shorter than the 21-year prison sentence sought by prosecutors, but is still unusually long for a white-collar crime.Prosecutors had also been seeking a restitution payment but the judge has...

Police report reveals new details from sexual assault allegation against Trump’s defense nominee
LOS ANGELES — A California woman told police that Trump Cabinet pick Pete Hegseth physically blocked her from leaving a hotel room, took her phone, and then sexually assaulted her even though she “remembered saying ‘no’ a lot,” a police report obtained by CNN shows.The 22-page report, released by the city attorney’s office of Monterey, California, on Wednesday night in response to a public records request, lays out the competing narratives of what happened in new detail – including conflicting accounts of how intoxicated Hegseth and the woman were, and descriptions of video surveillance showing some of their movements that night.Hegseth, who President-elect Donald Trump has named as his pick for secretary of defense, told police that their encounter was consensual, and that...

The land is in Texas' Starr County in the Rio Grande Valley, on the border with the Mexican state of Tamaulipas
Texas offers Trump land for migrant 'deportation facilities'
WASHINGTON — Texas authorities say they are prepared to offer President-elect Donald Trump 1,400 acres (567 hectares) of land along the US-Mexico border to build detention facilities for undocumented migrants.In a letter, the Texas General Land Office said the plot could be used to build facilities for "processing, detention, and co-ordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation's history".Trump has repeatedly pledged to deport millions of undocumented migrants and mobilize the National Guard to help carry this out.His plan, however, is likely to face enormous financial and logistics hurdles, as well as immediate legal challenges from rights groups.The letter, published online and sent to Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, notes that the...

Pressure has mounted on the ethics committee to release its findings into Gaetz
Fate of Gaetz ethics report uncertain after congressional panel deadlocked
WASHINGTON — A congressional ethics committee has failed to reach an agreement over whether to release a report on alleged sexual misconduct by Matt Gaetz, Donald Trump's nominee to lead the US Department of Justice.The House committee met for two hours behind closed doors on Wednesday, as calls grew for details of its investigation into Gaetz, a former Florida congressman whose nomination to serve as attorney general has proved controversial."There was no consensus on this issue," Democratic Representative Susan Wild told reporters, adding that a vote had been taken but the bipartisan committee remained split along party lines.She said they would meet again on 5 December. It is unclear whether they could release the report into Gaetz, who denies any wrongdoing, before...

Trump voters say cabinet picks 'scare pants off establishment'
WASHINGTON — Some of US President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet picks look likely to face a fierce confirmation battle in Washington as their fitness to safeguard the rule of law, national security and public health comes under scrutiny.US Vice-President-elect JD Vance, an Ohio senator, is introducing the contenders to his colleagues on Capitol Hill this week as the incoming Trump administration seeks to smooth the path of its transition.But while the prospective appointees could face pushback in the Senate, they have received a largely positive reception so far from Republican voters contacted by the BBC.Virtually all of them approved of his cabinet picks, hailing them as much-needed disruptors to what they see as a corrupt establishment.“It just scares the pants off the...

NEW YORK — Indian billionaire Gautam Adani and other executives were indicted in New York for roles in a multi-billion-dollar fraud scheme, the US Department of Justice said Wednesday.Authorities said Adani and seven other senior business executives, including his nephew Sagar Adani, promised more than $250 million in bribes to Indian government officials to secure solar energy contracts.Those bribes were “to lie to investors and banks to raise billions of dollars, and to obstruct justice,” said Deputy Assistant Attorney General Lisa Miller in a statement Wednesday.Worth more than $85 billion, Adani is Asia’s second-richest person behind countryman Mukesh Ambani, according to Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index.
