Semi truck trailers are pictured at freight trucking company Yellow’s terminal near the Otay Mesa border crossing between the U.S. and Mexico in San Diego, California, U.S., August 7, 2023 after the company filed for bankruptcy protection. REUTERS/Mike BlakeNEW YORK, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Bankrupt trucking company Yellow Corp (YELL.O) will not seek court approval to borrow $142.5 million from private equity firm Apollo Global Management as planned on Wednesday, instead seeking time to explore alternate loan offers, an attorney for the company said. Yellow is weighing those offers while negotiating with Apollo on how those loans would impact Apollo's collateral rights on a pre-existing $501 million loan. Yellow plans to return to court on Friday with more clarity on which loan it will choose. The union, which represents about 22,000 Yellow employees, said the Nashville, Tennessee-based company "mismanaged" its way to bankruptcy despite concessions made by workers.

About half the respondents who voted for Biden in 2020 said they have heard little or nothing of his major policy initiatives to reduce inflation or boost spending on infrastructure. Biden and fellow Democrats pushed bills through Congress that put about $1.5 trillion toward new bridge, road, climate and manufacturing projects. Democratic strategist Jennifer Holdsworth said this week's trip would counter a message spread by the nation's right-wing media distorting the economy and Biden's legislative agenda. "As President Biden gets out there on the campaign trail, I think you'll see that trend start to change," she said. On Wednesday, Biden will be in New Mexico to tout the IRA's role in a clean-energy manufacturing boom, one year after the law was signed.

'X' logo is seen on the top of the headquarters of the messaging platform X, formerly known as Twitter, in downtown San Francisco, California, U.S., July 30, 2023. Lawyers for Musk in a separate filing said claims against him should be tossed out because he did not sign a specific provision of the merger agreement involving employee benefits, including severance pay. Twitter laid off more than half its workforce as a cost-cutting measure after Musk acquired the company last October. The lawsuit is not a class action, but two similar pending lawsuits brought on behalf of much larger groups of former Twitter employees claim the company owes more than $500 million in severance pay. X has said all of the workers were paid in full.

Bitty and Beau's Coffee isn't your average coffee shop. It's a "human rights movement" in disguise, say co-founders Amy and Ben Wright. The husband-and-wife duo left their careers in education and finance — in 2016 and 2020, respectively — to build Bitty and Beau's, a chain of coffee shops run almost entirely by people with intellectual or developmental disabilities. Today, Bitty and Beau's has 19 locations and more than 400 employees across 11 states, according to its website. It started when Amy left the after-school theater program for kids she'd founded, to help the first Bitty and Beau's get off the ground.

The ruling allows the oversight district to pursue its case that seeks to void "backroom deals" favorable to Disney that were struck with a prior district board earlier this year. A Disney spokesperson said the decision "has no bearing" on the federal lawsuit seeking to "vindicate Disney's constitutional rights." "We are fully confident Disney will prevail in both the federal and state cases," the spokesperson said in an email. The skirmish began last year after Disney criticized a Florida law banning classroom discussion of sexuality and gender identity with younger children. DeSantis rallied lawmakers to pass bills that reconstituted the district as the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District and transferred power over the board to the governor from Disney.

Judge Maryellen Noreika, a 57-year-old former patent and intellectual property litigator, is not an especially high-profile figure in the small legal community in the country’s second-smallest state. Records show she had not worked on criminal cases or presided over a courtroom before President Donald J. Trump nominated her to the federal bench in 2017. She stunned everyone in the courtroom by refusing to approve a deal that would have settled tax and gun charges against Mr. Biden. Then she sent the lawyers back to the drawing board. He selected her, he said, as a research assistant to help supervise a group of law students for a large project for the Federal Judicial Center, the education and research agency of the United States federal courts.

Hunter Biden's deal with federal prosecutors calls for him to serve two years of probation. Hunter Biden has said he has been sober since May 2019, when he married his current wife, Melissa Cohen. The very provision related to Hunter Biden's case is currently facing legal challenges. Former President Donald Trump and other prominent Republicans have railed against the possibility that Hunter Biden may not face any jail time. House Republicans have also continued their own probes into Biden's foreign business.

REUTERS/Quinn Glabicki/File PhotoNEW YORK, July 27 (Reuters) - Bankrupt Lordstown Motors (RIDEQ.PK) must face trial over a rival carmaker's claim that Lordstown vehicles include stolen technology, a U.S. judge ruled Thursday, dealing a blow to the company's hopes for a quick bankruptcy sale. California-based Karma Automotive sued Lordstown in 2020 for allegedly poaching its employees and stealing technology used in vehicle infotainment systems. "The California court ... should decide those issues." Walrath allowed Karma to proceed to trial on its claims against Lordstown, overruling bankruptcy protections that typically pause lawsuits against bankrupt companies.

His leading rival, former President Donald Trump, and Trump's Republican allies in Congress had criticized the deal as unfairly favoring the president's son. She said she did not want to "rubber stamp" a plea deal. White House spokesperson Karine Jeane-Pierre said the president supported his son, adding, "Hunter Biden is a private citizen and this was a personal matter for him." U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has denied allegations of special treatment and said Weiss was given full autonomy to investigate Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden has worked as a lobbyist, lawyer, consultant, investment banker and artist.

WILMINGTON, Delaware, July 26 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden and prosecutors agreed to a more limited plea deal over Biden's failure to pay income taxes after a previous agreement fell apart earlier on Wednesday, CNN reported. CNN reported that the deal fell apart due to ongoing investigations into potential violations of the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA). Under the more limited deal, it appears that prosecutors could still charge the younger Biden on unrelated issues, CNN reported. Hunter Biden did not pay taxes on more than $1.5 million in income in 2017 and 2018 despite owing more than $100,000, prosecutors allege. News of the plea deal in June sparked accusations of favorable treatment for the president’s son from Trump and his Republican allies, who have for years accused the younger Biden of influence-peddling abroad, among other things.

WILMINGTON, Delaware, July 26 (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden is set to plead guilty on Wednesday to two misdemeanor charges of willfully failing to pay income taxes, part of a deal that allows him to avert conviction on a gun-related charge. The younger Biden did not pay taxes on more than $1.5 million in income in 2017 and 2018 despite owing more than $100,000, prosecutors allege. U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland has denied allegations of special treatment and said Weiss was given full autonomy to investigate Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden has worked as a lobbyist, lawyer, consultant, investment banker and artist. The tax charges could carry a sentence of up to 18 months, but legal experts say Hunter Biden is unlikely to face prison time because he has no prior criminal history and has accepted responsibility for his actions.

Judge Maryellen Noreika kicked off Wednesday’s hearing on Hunter Biden’s proposed plea deal with the Justice Department by telling lawyers that they did not need to keep “popping” up and down every time she asked them a question. An exhausted Mr. Biden trudged out of Federal District Court in Wilmington, Del., looking a bit stunned, as his lawyers puzzled over what to do next. “You all are saying, ‘Just rubber stamp the agreement,’” said the judge. “I’m not in a position to accept or reject it. I need to defer.”

A federal judge on Wednesday put on hold a proposed plea deal between Hunter Biden and the Justice Department that would have settled tax and gun charges against the president’s son, stunning the courtroom and raising legal and constitutional questions about the agreement. After moments of high drama in which the deal appeared headed toward collapse, the judge, Maryellen Noreika of the Federal District Court in Wilmington, Del., sent the two sides back to try to work out modifications that would address her concerns and salvage the basic contours of the agreement. Under the proposed deal, Mr. Biden would have pleaded guilty to two tax misdemeanors and averted prosecution on a gun charge by enrolling in a two-year diversion program for nonviolent offenders. Prosecutors and Mr. Biden’s team had both started the day confident that the proceeding would go smoothly and the judge would sign off on the deal immediately. As he entered the courtroom, Mr. Biden drew a deep breath and plunged forward to greet the prosecutors who investigated him for five years with handshakes and a smile.

Hunter Biden's plea deal with federal prosecutors fell apart at the last minute in a court hearing Wednesday. Wise said the plea deal wouldn't cover other potential crimes. At that point, according to the Times, Biden's lawyer said the plea agreement was "null and void." After news of the charges in June, Biden's attorneys said the plea would resolve the Justice Department's investigation into his conduct. On Tuesday, Republican Rep. Jason Smith of Missouri, the chairman of the powerful House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee, tried to intervene in the proceedings by asking the judge to reject the plea deal.

Hunter Biden, President Biden’s troubled son and the target of long-running Republican efforts to cast the first family as corrupt, is expected to plead guilty on Wednesday in federal court to two misdemeanor tax charges and accept an agreement that will allow him to avoid prosecution on a gun charge. If approved by a judge, the deal, reached by lawyers for the younger Mr. Biden with the U.S. attorney in Delaware, David C. Weiss, a Trump appointee who was kept on by the Biden Justice Department to complete the investigation, would result in no prison time. Republicans have assailed the plea deal as far too lenient. Citing the congressional testimony of two I.R.S. agents who were involved in the federal investigation, House Republicans have suggested that the Justice Department meddled in the case by failing to give Mr. Weiss the full authority over the investigation that it had promised him — an assertion that Mr. Weiss and Attorney General Merrick B. Garland have rebutted.

Hunter Biden, son of U.S. President Joe Biden, arrives at federal court to plead guilty to two misdemeanor charges of willfully failing to pay income taxes in Wilmington, Delaware, U.S., July 26, 2023. The 53-year-old Biden initially appeared in U.S. District Court in Wilmington, Delaware, to enter his guilty plea a month after federal prosecutors first revealed the criminal tax charges against him. His attorneys reached a separate pretrial diversion agreement with prosecutors on an unrelated firearms charge, court filings showed. Prosecutors said the agreements on the tax and gun charges were distinct, but during the hearing, Hunter Biden said he wouldn't agree to plead guilty to the tax charges without the diversion program and dismissal of gun charges, per NBC. They have also raised concerns about allegations from whistleblowers that Weiss had sought authority to charge Biden with broader charges than the ones that were ultimately made public.

As part of the plea agreement, Justice Department prosecutors are expected to recommend a sentence of probation for the president’s son. While the investigation was ongoing, Hunter Biden fully paid his federal tax bill, along with interest and penalties, his lawyers have previously said. Federal investigators also looked into Hunter Biden’s unpaid taxes and lavish spending, which came amid a struggle with addiction. In a late twist, the judge threatened to sanction Hunter Biden’s lawyers over the matter. House Republicans have zeroed in on Hunter Biden’s finances as part of their broader oversight probes into the Biden family.

Hunter Biden, appearing in court wearing a dark suit and sporting slicked back hair, appeared agitated and worried as the plea deal began to unravel. She said she has “concerns about the constitutionality” of the gun deal because it might violate separation of powers principles. Noreika also has the ultimate decision on what sentence Hunter Biden will receive if a plea deal is accepted or he is tried and convicted. “At least there is some scrutiny going on,” Texas Rep. Chip Roy told CNN in reaction to the Hunter Biden plea deal being refined. GOP Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio credited IRS whistleblowers critical of the investigation for the collapse of a plea deal, although the issue did not come up during a hearing.

Mr. Biden paid the overdue tax bill in 2021. Mr. Weiss’s office has also charged Mr. Biden in connection with the purchase of a handgun in 2018, when Mr. Biden falsely said on a government form that he was not using drugs. But as part of the deal, the Justice Department, under what is known as a pretrial diversion agreement, said it would not prosecute Mr. Biden on the charge as long as Mr. Biden no longer owns a weapon and remains drug free for two years. As president, Mr. Trump, realizing that Mr. Biden was the candidate with the best chance to beat him in 2020, tried to weaponize Hunter Biden’s business dealings against his father. At the height of the 2020 election, Mr. Giuliani and other Trump confidants believed they had an October surprise that would catapult Mr. Trump to re-election when they obtained a cache of files from Hunter Biden’s laptop.

On the eve of Hunter Biden’s court appearance to enter into a plea deal for misdemeanor tax crimes that would allow him to avoid prison time, House Republicans and conservative groups sought to intervene in the case, urging a judge to throw out the agreement he reached with prosecutors. The highly unusual legal maneuvering — which experts said was unlikely to succeed — illustrated the lengths that House Republicans and their allied groups have been willing to go to as they have tried to use Mr. Biden’s legal and personal troubles to inflict political damage on his father, President Biden. Representative Jason Smith of Missouri, the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, filed a brief in Federal District Court in Wilmington, Del., where Hunter Biden’s plea deal is to be considered by a judge on Wednesday. The committee has heard testimony from two Internal Revenue Service investigators who claim to be whistle-blowers and have told the panel that the younger Mr. Biden received preferential treatment from the Justice Department. Mr. Smith’s brief asked the judge to consider the testimony in deciding whether to approve the agreement.

Powell testified on the Federal Reserve’s Semi-Annual Monetary Policy Report during the hearing. Win Mcnamee | Getty Images News | Getty ImagesDespite an improving inflation picture, the Federal Reserve is expected on Wednesday to approve what would be the 11th interest rate increase since March 2022. That would push the upper boundary of the federal funds rate to its highest level since January 2001. But apparently the folks at the Fed think they need one more at least." Likewise, Steven Blitz, chief U.S. economist at Globaldata.TSLombard, said a "dovish hike and talk of soft landings" at Wednesday's meeting would be a mistake for the Fed.

But even though the scam targeted Morgan Stanley clients and the advisor admitted using a Morgan Stanley product to carry it out, the firm has fought efforts to hold it responsible. "So, effectively, Morgan Stanley is lending money to the victims of this scheme and that money then gets diverted into Shawn Good's pocket," Easley said. Morgan Stanley, which topped earnings expectations Tuesday thanks in large part to its wealth management business, declined an interview request. But more important than all of that, she said, was that he worked for Morgan Stanley. Morgan Stanley was among 16 firms charged, all admitting they violated federal securities laws.

WASHINGTON, July 18 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden will literally keep his re-election campaign headquarters close to home - Wilmington, Delaware, that is. Biden's 2024 campaign team announced on Tuesday that the campaign apparatus will be headquartered in Wilmington, the Delaware city where the president has lived for decades. "My family's values, my eternal optimism and my unwavering belief in the American middle class as our nation's backbone comes from my home – from Delaware," Biden said in a statement. "That's why there is no better place for our re-election campaign to have its headquarters." Biden, as a U.S. senator representing Delaware, frequently took the Amtrak train back home for weekends, earning the nickname "Amtrak Joe."
