  + stars: | 2022-11-11 | by ( Alison Frankel | Thomson Reuters | Alison Frankel Has Covered High-Stakes Commercial Litigation As A Columnist For Reuters Since A Dartmouth College Graduate | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +7 min
At issue is the settlement claims process, funded by Godiva and executed by Kroll Notice Media Solutions. According to class counsel, Godiva recently directed Kroll “to conduct several additional rounds of review” of class claims that had already been validated. Adding to the intrigue: In September, class counsel told Preska that Godiva had informed them that the company did not have enough money to pay class members. It's also rare, Frank said, for class counsel to ask a judge to get involved in the post-settlement claims administration process.

Hicks resigned from the White House on January 12, 2021, but told people it was a previously planned departure. She was one of the few White House aides who broke with the former president and told him he lost the 2020 election. Hope Hicks was the youngest White House communications director in history. In her time at the White House, Hicks became ensnared in two high-profile White House controversies: the special counsel's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, and her role in crafting the White House's response to abuse allegations against staff secretary Rob Porter. She later rejoined the Trump White House as a counselor to the president, reporting to senior adviser and Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
☆ A judge sentenced Steve Bannon to 4 months in prison but let him remain free while he appeals his conviction

Ahead of Friday's sentencing, federal prosecutors recommended that Nichols sentence Bannon to six months in prison, and order him to pay a $200,000 fine. Bannon's defense lawyers argued that the former Trump advisor should avoid prison time and receive a probation-only sentence. But they urged Nichols to suspend — or put on hold — any sentence while Bannon brings a challenge to his criminal conviction. In the months leading to the trial, Nichols made a series of rulings that severely limited Bannon's potential arguments. In their court filings, prosecutors revealed new details about the Bannon legal team's dealings with the House committee ahead of his trial.

Rick Gates, former deputy campaign manager for Donald Trump, exits Federal Court in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Friday, Feb. 23, 2018. Gates is a former business partner of Paul Manafort, who served for several months as chief of Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. Gates served on that campaign as well, and on Trump's inaugural committee. Gates later testified at the trials of Manafort, Trump's long-time friend Roger Stone and Washington lawyer Greg Craig, who had served under two Democratic presidents. Prosecutors in their filing Tuesday wrote, "Since entering a guilty plea in February 2018, the defendant, Richard W. Gates III, has provided the government with extraordinary assistance," prosecutors wrote.
