Prosecutor Calls Newsom 'King Of Fraud' For Oversight Failures Authored by Dave Mason via The Center Square, U.S. First Assistant Attorney Bill Essayli Thursday called California Gov. Gavin Newsom “the king of fraud,” accusing him of a lack of oversight on spending to address homelessness. FILE - California Gov. Gavin Newsom speaks during a press conference in Los Angeles, Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2024. (AP Photo/Eric Thayer, File) Essayli made the comments on the “Fox and Friends” telecast, during which he discussed the federal fraud charges that were filed in October against real estate executives Steven Taylor and Cody Holmes for allegedly misusing grant money meant for homeless housing. Holmes, 31, of Beverly Hills was charged with mail fraud charge that was allegedly linked to millions of dollars in grant money that the state paid Shangri-La Industries to purchase, build and operate homeless housing in Thousand Oaks, just north of Los Angeles. Holmes was Shangri-La’s chief financial officer. Taylor, 44, of Brentwood, was charged with seven counts of bank fraud, one count of aggravated identity theft and one count of money laundering. Essayli Thursday said the charges are the “tip of the iceberg” in an investigation he launched with a task force in April. He said more charges would be coming, probably later this month. The state spent $24 billion in the last five years to address homelessness and can’t account for where the money went, Essayli said on “Fox and Friends.” President Donald Trump on Tuesday on X said, “California, under Governor Gavin Newscum, is more corrupt than Minnesota, if that’s possible??? The Fraud investigation of California has begun.” Newsom’s press office fired back on X. It called Trump a liar and noted Newsom has “BLOCKED $125 billion in fraud, arrested criminal parasites leaching off of taxpayers, and protected taxpayers from the exact kind of scam artists Trump celebrates, excuses, and pardons.” The Center Square reached out Thursday aft...

U.S. President Donald Trump holds an umbrella as he speaks to members of the media while departing the White House en route to Florida in Washington, D.C., U.S., Jan. 9, 2026. Kevin Lamarque | Reuters A U.S. judge on Friday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump's administration from freezing access by five Democratic-led states to more than $10 billion of federal funds for child care and family assistance based on what it said were concerns about fraud. U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian, an appointee of Democratic former President Joe Biden, said he issued a temporary restraining order for the reasons stated in a legal filing by California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and New York, which filed the lawsuit. The states sued the Trump administration late on Thursday, two days after the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced the freeze. Funds that were frozen include more than $7 billion from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, which provides cash to low-income families with children. The funds also included $2.4 billion from the Child Care and Development Fund, which helps make childcare more affordable, and about $870 million in social services grants for children.

Dulce Consuelo Díaz Morales was held for 25 days even after attorneys said they presented ICE with US birth certificate A Maryland woman has been released and reunited with her family after spending 25 days in Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE ) custody – despite her attorneys saying documentation showed she was born in the US and therefore is a citizen. Dulce Consuelo Díaz Morales and her legal team maintain she was born in the US and possess records supporting that claim. ICE, however, had disputed this, asserting she is a Mexican citizen who entered the US unlawfully. Continue reading...

Colombian President Gustavo Petro renewed his criticism of US policy after briefly softening his tone this week following a phone call with Donald Trump . Petro told the BBC in an interview recorded Thursday that Washington is treating other nations as though they’re part of “a US empire,” and accused US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, agents of acting like “Nazi brigades.” Petro has been one of Trump’s most bitter antagonists in the Americas over the last year. That was until Wednesday when the two had their first phone call, which Petro described as his chance to clear up the US president’s misconceptions about drug trafficking. Trump said afterward that it was an honor to speak with Petro and that he liked his tone. Petro, addressing supporters in Bogota just after the call, signaled that he had planned to make a “tough” speech attacking Trump, but would now moderate his language. Biting his tongue doesn’t come naturally to the firebrand former guerrilla, however, and the moderation wouldn’t last long. He told the BBC that the threat of US military intervention was real, and said that Colombia had been a victim of US violence at the start of the 20th century. He also criticized the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement, after an ICE officer shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, which sparked demonstrations across the country. “For us, ICE operates the same way as the Nazi and Italian fascist brigades,” he said. “They no longer just persecute Latin Americans in the streets, which for us is an affront, but they also kill US citizens.” In a more muted interview published Friday, Petro told CBS News that he and Trump had a similar vision for a shared power in Venezuela between the government of acting President Delcy Rodríguez and the opposition. He also said that a US attack on Colombia would be a “dumb policy” that might trigger a civil war in the Andean nation, according to CBS. Trump and Petro are scheduled to meet face-to-face at the Whit...
