Will Pam Bondi’s Congressional hearing take place after Trump fired her? Latest on her deposition status

Will Pam Bondi’s Congressional hearing take place after Trump fired her? Latest on her deposition status

U.S. President Donald Trump removed Pam Bondi from her post on April 2, Thursday, and appointed Todd Blanche as the acting attorney general. Just hours after her sudden firing, there are growing concerns over whether Bondi will still be subject to a congressional hearing scheduled for April 14. Following Pam Bondi’s firing, Congress insists she must testify, emphasizing that her removal does not exempt her from appearing before the Oversight Committee. (AP Photo/Allison Robbert, File) (AP) Early indications from lawmakers suggest that her firing may not shield her from testifying under oath. Members who voted to subpoena Bondi stated on Thursday that she will still be required to appear for a scheduled deposition before the House Oversight Committee, despite the majority of the panel stating that the issue is still up for debate.

Blake Lively’s Attorneys Fight to Block Bryan Freedman From Taking Her Deposition in Justin Baldoni Lawsuit

Blake Lively’s Attorneys Fight to Block Bryan Freedman From Taking Her Deposition in Justin Baldoni Lawsuit

Trigger warning: This article contains mentions of sexual harassment.  Blake Lively and Ryan Reynold made another attempt to minimize Justin Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman’s involvement in the trials. Last week, the couple’s lawyers proclaimed that they wanted Freedman to be disciplined by the court for making “extrajudicial statements” to the media to support and uplift his client.  They alleged that the attorney sharing information, text chains, and footage as evidence to the press instead of the court was done to set a narrative against Lively among the public.  Now Lively and Reynolds’s attorneys want to fight against Freedman taking a deposition — formal and out-of-court interview under oath — from Lively in her sexual harassment lawsuit against Baldoni.  A few hours before this block move was announced, the Gossip Girl alum and Deadpool actor filed a notice that they intend to get Baldoni’s $400 million defamation and extortion suit against them dismissed.  Earlier, the couple had filed a gag order against Freedman, claiming that federal litigation must be conducted in court and not among the …

Shia LaBeouf, ex FKA Twigs’ messy legal tussle over alleged abuse: Singer ‘strategically’ unavailable for deposition? | Hollywood

In 2020, Transformers star Shia LaBeouf was hit with a career-breaking lawsuit when his former romantic partner, singer FKA Twigs, accused him of physically and sexually abusing her. FKA twigs filed a lawsuit alleging that LaBeouf was physically and emotionally abusive during a relationship in 2018 and 2019, saying the experience was part of a pattern of terrorizing women.(AP) Yet he finally walked down a red carpet for the first time in four years as one of the multiple controversial and “cancelled” actors, alongside Jon Voight and Dustin Hoffman, listed as supporting stars in Francis Ford Coppola’s ensemble directorial Megalopolis. With the 2024 Cannes Film Festival in France marking his return to the spotlight after a while, the Hollywood actor again fell down the wrong side of the tracks months later. According to a much-reported Scotland incident, LaBeouf was caught on video squaring up against a group of men outside a pub in Edinburgh in the last week of August. This image released by Lionsgate shows Shia LaBeouf, as Clodio Pulcher, in a scene from …

India On Justin Trudeau’s Deposition

India On Justin Trudeau’s Deposition

New Delhi: In a late night post by the Ministry of External Affairs, India affirmed its stand on the massive diplomatic row with Canada. Putting the responsibility of the disastrous diplomatic fallout squarely on Justin Trudeau, the foreign ministry reiterated that “Canada has presented us with no evidence whatsoever”. In its terse-but-sharp response to Mr Trudeau’s deposition at the Commission of Inquiry, the foreign ministry wrote in its post-midnight statement that “What we have heard today only confirms what we have been saying consistently all along – Canada has presented us (India) no evidence whatsoever in support of the serious allegations that it has chosen to level against India and Indian diplomats” Putting the onus of the grave diplomatic situation entirely on the incumbent Prime Minister of Canada’s conduct, the statement noted that “The responsibility for the damage that this cavalier behaviour has caused to India-Canada relations lies with Prime Minister Trudeau alone.” Our response to media queries regarding PM of Canada’s deposition at the Commission of Inquiry: https://t.co/JI4qE3YK39 pic.twitter.com/1W8mel5DJe — Randhir Jaiswal (@MEAIndia) October …
