Luigi Mangione’s state murder trial delayed until September, throwing federal trial into question| India News

By Luc Cohen and Aleksandra Michalska Luigi Mangione’s state murder trial delayed until September, throwing federal trial into question NEW YORK, – A New York state judge on Wednesday delayed Luigi Mangione’s trial on charges of murdering a health insurance executive to September 8, throwing into question the timing of a parallel federal trial. In a brief written order, Justice Gregory Carro in Manhattan pushed Mangione’s trial start date back from June 8. Carro did not specify a reason, but the judge had expressed frustration during a February 6 hearing that federal prosecutors had “reneged” on a promise to let state prosecutors go to trial first. Hours earlier, U.S. District Judge Margaret Garnett, who is overseeing Mangione’s federal trial on stalking charges stemming from the shooting death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson, pushed back by a few weeks the start of that trial to October 13. Mangione’s state court trial is expected to last six weeks, defense lawyer Karen Friedman-Agnifilo said at a hearing before Garnett on Wednesday. Mangione has pleaded not guilty to all …

GOP senator says he’s open to compromise on Trump’s nominee to chair the Federal Reserve| India News

Published by Parlour News

WASHINGTON — Republican Sen. Thom Tillis from North Carolina suggested Thursday he could support a compromise that would allow the Senate Banking Committee to start hearings on Kevin Warsh, President Donald Trump’s nominee to chair the Federal Reserve. GOP senator says he’s open to compromise on Trump’s nominee to chair the Federal Reserve “What I heard being floated could be an off-ramp,” Tillis told reporters Thursday after a meeting of Senate Republicans. The compromise that has been suggested is for the banking committee, rather than the Justice Department, to investigate cost overruns on the Fed’s $2.5 billion renovation of two Washington, D.C., office buildings. Tillis said last month that he would block any consideration of Warsh or any other Trump nominees to the Fed until the Justice Department drops a criminal investigation of Fed chair Jerome Powell over his testimony last summer about the renovation. Tillis on Thursday reiterated that view in comments on the Senate floor. The investigation was revealed last month by Powell in an unusually blunt video statement, in which he said …

File pic/PTI In a significant verdict clarifying the jurisdictional boundaries of anti-corruption agencies, the Supreme Court has ruled that state police authorities are fully competent to investigate and file chargesheets against central government employees accused of offences under the Prevention of Corruption (PC) Act, 1988. The bench, comprising Justices JB Pardiwala and Satish Chandra Sharma, dismissed the notion that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) holds exclusive jurisdiction over such cases, asserting that state-level agencies like the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) do not require prior CBI permission to act. The ruling came during the hearing of an appeal against a Rajasthan High Court decision, which had refused to quash a corruption case registered by the …

Justice Department asks federal judge to deny special master for Epstein files| India News

Published by Parlour News

NEW YORK, – The U.S. Justice Department has asked a New York federal judge to deny a request by two lawmakers seeking an appointment of a special master to monitor the public release of records tied to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The Justice Department since December has been releasing caches of documents tied to its investigations of Epstein. But U.S. Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie have criticized the department’s slow pace. Justice Department asks federal judge to deny special master for Epstein files Khanna, a California Democrat, and Massie, a Kentucky Republican, last week said they asked U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer to permit them to file a brief that would argue for the appointment of a special master and independent monitor, given the Justice Department’s failure to fully comply with a law that requires the DOJ to release all records related to Epstein by December 19. In a six-page letter filed on Friday to U.S. District Court Judge Paul Engelmayer on Friday, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and …
