"Some of the documents contain untrue and sensationalist claims against President Trump that were submitted to the FBI right before the 2020 election," the US Justice Department said. "To be clear, the claims are unfounded and false, and if they have a shred of credibility, they certainly would have been weaponised against President Trump already."

OnlyFans — the massive adult creator network where performers and influencers sell subscription-based content directly to fans — is considering selling a majority stake of its business to investment firm Architect Capital, a source close to the deal told TechCrunch. The deal would value the platform at $5.5 billion. The source said that of that $5.5 billion, $3.5 billion would be equity and $2 billion would be debt. Under those terms, Architect would assume a 60% stake in the business. The two parties are in exclusivity, meaning that OnlyFans is barred from negotiating with other potential buyers for a set period of time. It’s unclear what the timeline for completing the deal might be. The negotiations were previously reported by the Wall Street Journal. TechCrunch reached out to Architect Capital for comment. This isn’t the first time in recent memory that OnlyFans has been in talks to sell off its business. Last year, the New York Post reported that Leonid Radvinsky, the billionaire owner of the site, was looking to “cash out,” and was courting potential buyers. Subsequent reporting showed that the platform’s parent company, Fenix International Ltd., was in talks with a U.S.-based investor group led by the Los Angeles-based investment firm Forest Road Company. It’s unclear what happened to those discussions, although the source told TechCrunch that there had been a number of interested parties since OnlyFans announced its desire to sell a majority stake. The potential business partner in this particular deal, Architect, launched in 2021 as an asset-based lender — a firm that provides loans secured by company assets — that looks to partner with early stage startups. OnlyFans maintains that it’s not a pornography website, despite the fact that a majority of the creators on it produce adult content. A British firm, the site was founded in 2016 by Tim Stokely, who also initially served as its CEO. Stokely sold a majority stake of the site’s parent company, Fenix Inter...

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. The Peloton story: everything you need to know Peloton said on Friday that it’s cutting around 11 percent of its staff, mostly impacting “engineers working on technology and enterprise-related efforts,” reports Bloomberg. Last August, Peloton laid off six percent of its workforce and told investors it would continue layoffs globally in 2026, in an attempt to cut at least $100 million of annual spending by the end of the fiscal year. Peloton’s latest strategy shift to reverse the effect of its pandemic-era boom stalling out has also brought new hardware with Peloton IQ AI features. The Cross Training Series that debuted last October includes a new Bike, Bike Plus, Tread, Tread Plus, and Row Plus that add real-time form feedback, workout analysis, and AI-generated workout routines, as it increases its subscription prices. Sales have been on a persistent downward spiral, and Bloomberg noted an earlier report that initial sales of the AI-equipped gear have been sluggish. The Verge contacted Peloton but did not receive an on-the-record response.

These Are The States Where Homes Take The Longest To Sell The U.S. housing market is growing more divided, with some homes still selling quickly while others remain listed for months. High mortgage rates, strained affordability, and cautious buyers have slowed demand in many regions, forcing sellers to wait far longer than they did just a few years ago. A new study by Premier Timber Frame Builders , based on Zillow’s “Days to Pending” data, highlights how uneven the market has become. The analysis shows that in several states, homes now take nearly three months—or longer—to go under contract, underscoring the widening gap between hot and cold housing markets. Texas stands out as the slowest-moving market in the country, with homes spending an average of 100 days on the market. Florida follows closely at 97 days, signaling a major slowdown after years of rapid growth. Louisiana ranks third at 90 days, while Colorado and Arizona also face extended selling times at 88 and 86 days, respectively. In these states, rising inventory and buyer hesitation have made it harder for sellers to secure quick offers. Other Western and Mountain states are also seeing prolonged listing periods. Homes in Wyoming and Idaho average about 81 days before going under contract, while Oregon trails slightly behind at 80 days. Utah and Montana are close as well, with listings typically remaining active for around 79 days. Together, these markets reflect how elevated prices and increased competition among sellers have cooled demand. Several Southern states are experiencing similar slowdowns. Mississippi, New Mexico, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Georgia, and South Carolina all report average selling times in the mid-to-high 70-day range, showing that affordability pressures and economic uncertainty are affecting buyers across the region. By contrast, parts of the Midwest and Northeast continue to move more quickly. States such as Illinois, Rhode Island, and Connecticut post some of the shortest timelines...

Jeenah Moon | Reuters It was a turbulent week for Amazon . From a bungled email prematurely announcing another massive round of layoffs to scrutiny around the company's $75 million investment in a documentary about the first lady, Amazon heads into its quarterly earnings report next week surrounded by a deafening level of outside noise. On Saturday, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy and a top entertainment exec from the company joined a group of CEOs, politicians and celebrities at the White House for a private screening of "Melania," which was produced by Amazon MGM Studios and Melania Trump . The event was roundly criticized for appearing tone deaf as it occurred mere hours after federal immigration agents shot and killed urgent care nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, the second such deadly incident there in less than three weeks. While most of the biggest names in tech stayed mum on the matter, many people in the industry expressed outrage over the incidents, and urged other members of the tech community to publicly denounce the killing of Pretti and the prior shooting of Renee Good, as well as President Donald Trump's immigration policies. Apple CEO Tim Cook, who attended the screening, subsequently issued a statement calling for a "deescalation" after the recent violence but without mentioning the two fatal shootings. Amazon hasn't commented on the matter. watch now VIDEO 2:31 02:31 First Lady Melania Trump rings NYSE bell Squawk on the Street Amazon's ties to the Melania film, which officially hit theatres on Friday, was awkward enough given the political tensions building in Minneapolis and elsewhere.

By Nicholas P. Brown NEW YORK, Jan 30 (Reuters) - Bankrupt retailer Saks Global is ending its "Saks on Amazon" partnership with e-commerce giant Amazon.com, a source with direct knowledge of the decision said on Friday. The partnership was already in dire straits when Saks filed for bankruptcy earlier this month, but the retailer had yet to say outright that it was exercising its right under Chapter 11 bankruptcy to reject the contract. On Friday, a source said Saks will wind down its Saks on Amazon storefront so it can focus on parts of its business it sees as spurring more growth. "The Saks on Amazon storefront saw limited brand participation," the person said, adding that Saks feels it would be better served driving traffic to Saks.com. Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The partnership arose from Amazon's $475 million investment in Saks' business in 2024. The companies agreed to an arrangement in which Saks would sell products on Amazon, paying the e-commerce giant at least $900 million over eight years. But comments by Amazon's lawyer at a court hearing after Saks filed bankruptcy indicated their relationship had soured, and court battles may lie ahead. At the hearing, the Amazon lawyer argued that Saks improperly pledged its flagship Fifth Avenue store in Manhattan as collateral for a $1.75 billion loan that is allowing it to operate while in bankruptcy. The lawyer said that property had already been collateralized to guarantee Saks' payments to Amazon under their partnership. The partnership was also facing pushback from Saks' top luxury brands, who feared selling on a mass-market e-commerce site would dilute their brand, according to two sources familiar with these brands' thinking. It was likely the brands would use bankruptcy negotiations to push back on the deal, the people said. (Reporting by Nicholas P.

And in its first full week, it was prescribed 18,410 times in the U.S. It's a great sign for Novo Nordisk that might bolster its growth rate this year, which is in desperate need of a catalyst. Last year, the healthcare company slashed its full-year outlook due to rising competition and compounding pharmacies offering knock-off versions of its popular drugs. From a previous range of 13% to 21%, the company cut its guidance for sales growth to a range of just 8% to 14%. With strong demand for its weight loss pill, there's likely to be much better growth numbers for Novo Nordisk in 2026.
