Former U.S. President Donald Trump speaks to a crowd during a campaign rally on September 25, 2023 in Summerville, South Carolina. A fund intended to pay the legal bills of former president Donald Trump's allies backed chiefly by reported QAnon supporters has spent nearly $400,000, the bulk of which went to a single law firm, new records showed Wednesday. The Patriot Legal Defense Fund received more than $1.5 million between its creation in mid-July and the end of December, according to documents filed with the Internal Revenue Service. Of the total spent by the group, $221,000 went to the firm Brand Woodward Law, mostly in the form of professional and legal fees. Another $150,000 from the fund went to the law firm Gibson, Dunn and Crutcher for the nondescript purpose of "services rendered," the IRS filing shows.

A court filing shows that Giuliani owes more than $1.3 million to the law firm Davidoff Hutcher & Citron. The lawyer Robert Costello sued Giuliani in September for $1.36 million in unpaid legal fees dating to 2019. Giuliani had planned to raise some of his legal defense money at two of Trump's properties, Andrew Giuliani previously said. "Yes, I gave Rudy $100,000 for his legal defense PAC and I was happy to do so," Elizabeth Ailes told CNBC. And the real estate investment firm Probity International, which is run by Trump donor Robert Zarnegin, gave $35,000 to the Giuliani PAC.

Shaich told Business Insider in an interview that the target of the thrown loaf was the company's COO at the time, Mark Borland — who Shaich also said was his close friend. Advertisement"It was in a real meeting, a couple hundred — like 250 people in the room" Shaich told BI. Shaich cofounded Au Bon Pain, of which Panera Bread became a division, in 1981.

☆ Elon Musk says he's upped his sleep to 6 hours per night—and that his old routine hurt his brain
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-18 | by ( Ashton Jackson | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Elon Musk says his days of trying to sleep less and work more are over — at least, relatively speaking. "And the brain pain level is bad if I get less than six hours [of sleep per night]." Now he gets at least seven hours of sleep, he wrote in a 2019 blog post. Musk often works seven days per week and only takes "two or three" truly workless vacation days per year, he said on Tuesday. "I work seven days a week, but I'm not expecting others to do that."
