Last week, McConnell remarked that Jeffries "baselessly said the 2016 election was 'illegitimate.'" "He'll do what he does, and I want to stay focused on fighting for the people," Jeffries told CNN. "For example, the newly-elected incoming leader of the House Democrats is a past election denier who baselessly said the 2016 election was 'illegitimate' and suggested that we had a 'fake' president. I supported the certification of Donald Trump's election," he continued to say.

Bankman-Fried told Sorkin at one point that "I didn't knowingly commingle funds," between FTX and his other company, the hedge fund Alameda Research. "Like, I wasn't spending any time or effort trying to manage risk on FTX," he told the "Good Morning America" anchor. Greg Joseph and Stanford Law professor David Mills, who Semafor reported last month represent Bankman-Fried, didn't respond to Insider's email for comment Thursday evening.

Bloomberg previously reported that both firm CEO Steve Schwarzman and President Jon Gray have each put $100 million of their own money into BREIT since July. But as nice as it is to have the bosses' money backing your fund, that's not the target audience. And while there is a lot of upside to attracting retail investors — its private wealth arm has quadrupled in size to $233 billion in assets in four years — there are risks, too.

New York CNN Business —Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of now-bankrupt FTX, has fallen from the peak of crypto celebrity, but he’s not going quietly. “I think I got a little cocky — I mean, more than a little bit,” he told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos in an interview on Good Morning America. Bankman-Fried, echoing comments he also made to The New York Times on Wednesday, denied knowing of any improper transfers of customer funds between the exchange and Alameda. “I don’t think that’s who I am at all, but I understand why they’re saying that,” Bankman-Fried told Stephanopoulos.

Pelosi said leadership decisions will depend on her family, which is still recovering from the attack on Paul Pelosi.

Putin's declaration of martial law in occupied Ukrainian territories is being decried as a symbolic, desperate move. The Institute for the Study of War (ISW) said the martial law decree is "largely legal theater." Biden said that the Russian leader's martial law decree seems to be designed to intimidate Ukrainians into capitulating. Secretary of State Antony Blinken told "Good Morning America" anchor George Stephanopoulos that Putin's martial law declaration "speaks to his desperation." But Putin's decree seems unlikely to lead to drastic changes or a significant shift from the conditions and practices already seen in these occupied areas.

New York CNN Busniess —Donald Trump berated ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos, descending into a profanity-laced tirade after the journalist asked him in a 2016 interview about Russia, according to a forthcoming book set for release next week. Haberman’s book is set to be released on Tuesday, but CNN obtained an excerpt detailing the incident between Stephanopoulos and Trump. The ABC News producer, John Santucci, asked what specific part of the interview Trump was referring to. Trump, Haberman wrote, mentioned Russia and Stephanopoulos chuckled and said, “I know, my team says I didn’t ask you enough about it.”That set Trump off. Eighteen f–king follow-ups—how many different ways do I have to say I don’t know the guy?” Trump said, according to Haberman.
În cazul CNN, a fost contestat editorialul lui Larry Noble, fost consilier general în Comisia Federală de Alegeri. „Campania Trump a evaluat riscurile şi beneficiile potenţiale încă o dată căutând ajutorul Rusiei în 2020 şi a decis să lase această opţiune deschisă”, a scris Noble. Echipa de campanie a lui Trump a susţinut că afirmaţia din articol este falsă şi defăimătoare şi că reprezentanţii ei au dezaprobat în mod repetat asistenţa rusă. În încercarea de a respinge reclamaţia, CNN a susţinut că Noble îşi exprima părerea bazându-se pe datele publice, nu făcând o presupunere. Pentru că Trump este o figură publică, echipa de campanie a fost nevoită să demonstreze intenţia, aceea că Noble a făcut afirmaţia imprudenţa de a nu lua în considerare dacă era adevărat.
