SAG HARBOR, N.Y. — Justin Timberlake appeared virtually at a Friday hearing for his driving while intoxicated case, where the judge announced the pop star's driver's license would be suspended and admonished his lawyer over "irresponsible" comments. The singer, 43, claimed he had just “one martini” before he was pulled over. He pleaded not guilty and his attorney, Edward Burke Jr., said in a statement at the time: “I look forward to vigorously defending Mr. Timberlake on these allegations. But once police spoke to Timberlake, they said, it was clear he was not in shape to drive, according to the complaint, written by Sag Harbor Village Police Officer Michael Arkinson. Timberlake struggled to walk heel-to-toe and stand on one foot without swaying or using arms to balance, the report said.

Widodo was the first Indonesian president to emerge outside the political and military elite. But critics say he thrived on political compromises, became beholden to political party supporters and accommodated ex-generals who served under the late authoritarian leader Suharto. Under Widodo, Indonesia saw a period of remarkable growth averaging 5% annually, except in 2020, when the economy contracted due to the coronavirus pandemic. His economic roadmap, called “Golden Indonesia 2045,” projects Indonesia becoming one of the world’s top five economies with GDP of up to $9 trillion, exactly a century after it won independence from Dutch colonizers.
