Amouranth shares eye-popping $20M crypto earnings as Bitcoin soarsKraken co-owner Bonderman dies at age 82NEW YORK — Eager to preserve President-elect Donald Trump's hush money conviction even as he returns to office, prosecutors suggested various ways forward — including one based on how some courts handle criminal cases when defendants die. In court papers made public Tuesday, the Manhattan district attorney's office proposed an array of options for keeping the historic conviction on the books. The proposals include freezing the case until Trump is out of office, or agreeing that any future sentence wouldn't include jail time. Another idea: closing the case with a notation that acknowledges his conviction but says that he was never sentenced and his appeal wasn't resolved because of presidential immunity. Former President Donald Trump appears in Manhattan criminal court May 30 during jury deliberations in his criminal hush money trial in New York. The last is adopted from what some states do when a criminal defendant dies after being convicted but before appeals are exhausted. It is unclear whether that option is viable under New York law, but prosecutors suggested that Judge Juan M. Merchan could innovate in what's already a unique case. People are also reading... "This remedy would prevent defendant from being burdened during his presidency by an ongoing criminal proceeding," prosecutors wrote. But at the same time, it wouldn't "precipitously discard" the "meaningful fact that defendant was indicted and found guilty by a jury of his peers." Expanding on a position they laid out last month, prosecutors acknowledged that "presidential immunity requires accommodation during a president's time in office," but they were adamant that the conviction should stand. They argued that Trump's impending return to the White House should not upend a jury's finding. Trump wants the case to be thrown out in light of his election. His communications director, Steven Cheung, called prosecutors' filing "a pathetic attempt to salvage the remains of an unconstitutional and politically motivated hoax." Trump has fought for months to reverse his conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records. Prosecutors said he fudged the documents to conceal a $130,000 payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels to suppress her claim that they had sex a decade earlier. Former President Donald Trump returns to the courtroom May 30 at Manhattan Criminal Court in New York. He says they did not and denies wrongdoing. Trump portrays the case as a political attack ginned up by District Attorney Alvin Bragg and other Democrats. Trump's legal team argues that letting the case continue would present unconstitutional "disruptions" to his upcoming presidential term. Trump's attorneys also cited President Joe Biden's recent pardon of his son Hunter Biden, who was convicted of tax and gun charges. Biden complained that his son was unfairly prosecuted for political reasons — and Trump's lawyers say he was, too. Trump's lawyers argued that the possibility of a jail sentence — even if it's after he leaves office — would affect his presidency. Prosecutors suggested Merchan could address that concern by agreeing not to put him behind bars. It's unclear how soon Merchan could decide what to do next with the case. He could grant Trump's request for dismissal, go with one of the suggestions from prosecutors, wait until a federal appeals court rules on Trump's parallel effort to get the case moved out of state court, or choose some other option. Trump, a Republican, takes office Jan. 20. Former President Donald Trump gestures May 31 as he leaves a news conference at Trump Tower in New York. He was scheduled for sentencing late last month. After Trump's Nov. 5 election win, Merchan halted proceedings and indefinitely postponed the former and future president's sentencing so the defense and prosecution could weigh in on the future of the case. Merchan also delayed a decision on Trump's prior bid to dismiss the case on immunity grounds. A dismissal would erase Trump's conviction, sparing him the cloud of a criminal record and possible prison sentence. Trump is the first former president to be convicted of a crime and the first convicted criminal to be elected to the office. The hush money case was the only one of Trump's four criminal indictments to go to trial. Since the election, special counsel Jack Smith ended his two federal cases, which pertained to Trump's efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss and allegations that he hoarded classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate. A separate state election interference case in Fulton County, Georgia, is largely on hold. Trump denies wrongdoing in each case.

Julie Appleby | KFF Health News Unauthorized switching of Affordable Care Act plans appears to have tapered off in recent weeks based on an almost one-third drop in casework associated with consumer complaints, say federal regulators . The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, which oversees the ACA, credits steps taken to thwart enrollment and switching problems that triggered more than 274,000 complaints this year through August. Now, the annual ACA open enrollment period that began Nov. 1 poses a real-world test: Will the changes curb fraud by rogue agents or brokerages without unduly slowing the process of enrolling or reducing the total number of sign-ups for 2025 coverage? “They really have this tightrope to walk,” said Sabrina Corlette, co-director of the Center on Health Insurance Reforms at Georgetown University. “The more you tighten it up to prevent fraud, the more barriers there are that could inhibit enrollment among those who need the coverage.” CMS said in July that some types of policy changes — those in which the agent is not “affiliated” with the existing plan — will face more requirements, such as a three-way call with the consumer, broker, and a healthcare.gov call center representative. In August, the agency barred two of about a dozen private sector online-enrollment platforms from connecting with healthcare.gov over concerns related to improper switching. And CMS has suspended 850 agents suspected of being involved in unauthorized plan-switching from accessing the ACA marketplace. Still, the clampdown could add complexity to enrollment and slow the process. For example, a consumer might have to wait in a queue for a three-way call, or scramble to find a new agent because the one they previously worked with had been suspended. Given that phone lines with healthcare.gov staff already get busy — especially during mid-December — agents and policy analysts advise consumers not to dally this year. “Hit the ground running,” said Ronnell Nolan, president and CEO of Health Agents for America, a professional organization for brokers. Meanwhile, reports are emerging that some rogue entities are already figuring out workarounds that could undermine some of the anti-fraud protections CMS put in place, Nolan said. “Bottom line is: Fraud and abuse is still happening,” Nolan said. Brokers assist the majority of people actively enrolling in ACA plans and are paid a monthly commission by insurers for their efforts. Consumers can compare plans or enroll themselves online through federal or state marketplace websites. They can also seek help from people called assisters or navigators — certified helpers who are not paid commissions. Under a “find local help” button on the federal and state ACA websites , consumers can search for nearby brokers or navigators. CMS says it has “ramped up support operations” at its healthcare.gov marketplace call centers, which are open 24/7, in anticipation of increased demand for three-way calls, and it expects “minimal wait times,” said Jeff Wu, deputy director for policy of the CMS Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight. Wu said those three-way calls are necessary only when an agent or a broker not already associated with a consumer’s enrollment wants to change that consumer’s enrollment or end that consumer’s coverage. It does not apply to people seeking coverage for the first time. Organizations paid by the government to offer navigator services have a dedicated phone line to the federal marketplace, and callers are not currently experiencing long waits, said Xonjenese Jacobs, director of Florida Covering Kids & Families, a program based at the University of South Florida that coordinates enrollment across the state through its Covering Florida navigator program. Navigators can assist with the three-way calls if a consumer’s situation requires it. “Because we have our quick line in, there’s no increased wait time,” Jacobs said. The problem of unauthorized switches has been around for a while but took off during last year’s open enrollment season. Brokers generally blamed much of the problem on the ease with which rogue agents can access ACA information in the federal marketplace, needing only a person’s name, date of birth, and state of residence. Though federal regulators have worked to tighten that access with the three-way call requirement, they stopped short of instituting what some agent groups say is needed: two-factor authentication, which could involve a code accessed by a consumer through a smartphone. Unauthorized switches can lead to a host of problems for consumers, from higher deductibles to landing in new networks that do not include their preferred physicians or hospitals. Some people have received tax bills when unauthorized policies came with premium credits for which they did not qualify. Unauthorized switches posed a political liability for the Biden administration, a blemish on two years of record ACA enrollment. The practice drew criticism from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle; Democrats demanded more oversight and punishment of rogue agents, while Republicans said fraud attempts were fueled by Biden administration moves that allowed for more generous premium subsidies and special enrollment periods. The fate of those enhanced subsidies, which are set to expire, will be decided by Congress next year as the Trump administration takes power. But the premiums and subsidies that come with 2025 plans that people are enrolling in now will remain in effect for the entire year. The actions taken this year to thwart the unauthorized enrollments apply to the federal marketplace, used by 31 states . The remaining states and the District of Columbia run their own websites, with many having in place additional layers of security.

The agency also noted a 90% drop in the number of times an agent’s name was replaced by another’s, which it says indicates that it is tougher for rival agents to steal clients to gain the monthly commissions that insurers pay. Still, the move to suspend 850 agents has drawn pushback from agent groups that initially brought the problem to federal regulators’ attention. They say some of those accused were suspended before getting a chance to respond to the allegations. “There will be a certain number of agents and brokers who are going to be suspended without due process,” said Nolan, with the health agents’ group. She said that it has called for increased protections against unauthorized switching and that two-factor authentication, like that used in some state marketplaces or in the financial sector, would be more effective than what’s been done. “We now have to jump through so many hoops that I’m not sure we’re going to survive,” she said of agents in general. “They are just throwing things against the wall to see what sticks when they could just do two-factor.” The agency did not respond to questions asking for details about how the 850 agents suspended since July were selected, the states where they were located, or how many had their suspensions reversed after supplying additional information.Jay-Z was named in a Diddy lawsuit.

John Elway: remorse over bypassing Josh Allen in draft mitigated by watching Broncos rookie Bo NixBoyd Gaming's CEO Keith Smith sells $2.15 million in stock
Tech-wary Germans get hooked with online shopping habitJim Harbaugh still hasn’t beaten his older brother. The third HarBowl between John Harbaugh and his brother Jim went to John, again. The Baltimore Ravens fell behind 10 points early but then overwhelmed the Los Angeles Chargers the rest of the way. The Ravens went on to a with Lamar Jackson throwing for two touchdowns and rushing for another. The Harbaughs coached against each other twice when Jim was the coach of the San Francisco 49ers, and John won both meetings, including Super Bowl XLVII. Monday’s result wasn’t due to John outcoaching Jim, though John had some strong decisions, including going for it on a key fourth down from his own 16-yard line. The mismatch was due more to John Harbaugh having a much better roster to work with. The Ravens have some flaws, especially on defense, but they’re still significantly ahead of the Chargers Give Jim Harbaugh some time. He’s doing just fine in his first season back in the NFL. The Chargers are 7-4, even after the loss, and likely to get a wild-card playoff spot. And maybe sometime soon he can have another rematch against his brother, and perhaps get a win against him. One of the bolder coaching decisions of the NFL season paid off big for the Ravens late in the first half. On their own 16-yard line, the Ravens acted like they were going to go for it just before the two-minute warning, trying to draw the Chargers offsides. That didn’t work, so it appeared they’d punt after the two-minute warning. But the offense came on the field, tight end Mark Andrews took a snap and sneaked it ahead for the first down. That gave the Ravens' offense some life, and the drive ended with Rashod Bateman’s 40-yard touchdown catch. That gave the Ravens a 14-10 halftime lead after they fell behind 10-0 early in the game. LAMAR GOES 40 YARDS DEEP TO BATEMAN. Ravens take the lead before half! 📺: on ESPN/ABC 📱: Stream on — NFL (@NFL) The Chargers executed a very nice 24-second drive to end the half, picking up 36 yards to set up a 52-yard field goal as the second quarter expired. The Chargers trailed 14-13 going into halftime. The defenses kept each offense out of the end zone in the third quarter. The Ravens lead was 17-16 going into the fourth quarter. It was a well-coached game between two good teams. As expected. The Ravens extended their lead early in the fourth quarter on a nice jumping touchdown catch in the end zone by tight end Mark Andrews. The Chargers might have answered, but there was an egregious drop by 2023 first-round pick Quentin Johnston on a third-and-6. Johnston could have turned it up for a huge gain, but it went right through his hands and the Chargers punted. It wasn’t a long Lamar Jackson or Derrick Henry run that broke it open after that. It was Justice Hill who took a third-down handoff to the outside and found a seam for a 51-yard score. The Ravens led 30-16 after that big play and it was going to be very hard for the Chargers to come back from that. An LA touchdown in the final minute made the score look closer. Justice Hill takes it TO THE HOUSE 💨 (via ) — Yahoo Sports (@YahooSports) The Ravens have been a machine on offense in most games this season. The win gets the Ravens to 8-4, just behind the 8-3 Steelers for first place in the AFC North. At their best, the Ravens are a Super Bowl contender with MVP candidate Lamar Jackson leading the way. The Ravens are also superbly coached. So are the Chargers. Jim Harbaugh just needs a little more time to get his team to the same position John has his. This one's over. The Chargers failed to recover the onside kick, and the Ravens take over with 43 seconds remaining. They can run out the clock on a decisive 30-23 win. This was a nail-biter through the first half, but the Ravens imposed their will in the second. Aggression by Ravens head coach John Harbaugh and execution by Baltimore’s run game resulted in three successful fourth-down conversions on three tries. The conversions ultimately resulted in two Ravens touchdowns. John Harbaugh improves to 3-0 in games against his brother Jim. The Ravens improve to 8-4, while the Chargers drop to 7-4. Both teams remain on the right side of the AFC playoff picture. The Chargers are still in this. A pair of pass interference penalties kept a drive alive that ended with a Gus Edwards touchdown run. The score cut Baltimore's lead to 30-23 with 46 seconds left. This one will come down to an onside kick. The Chargers came up with a stop and forced the Ravens to punt with 3:08 left in regulation. But they need a miracle, trailing 30-16 with one timeout remaining. Officials initially flagged this play for pass interference on the Chargers' failed third-and-18 attempt. But they picked up the flag after consultation. Was it the right no-call? PI or no PI? — BetMGM 🦁 (@BetMGM) The Ravens continue to dominate the second half. A third-and-18 deep ball by Justin Herbert hits the turf, and the Chargers are forced to punt after gaining seven yards on three plays. A second-down sack short-circuited the drive. Baltimore's in control with the ball and a 30-16 lead with 6:31 remaining. Derrick Henry helped set up the Hill touchdown with some classic Derrick Henry stiff-arms. derrick henry — ◇ (@HOODH3RO) The second half continues to be all Ravens. Baltimore opened the game up on a 51-yard touchdown run by Justice Hill. The Ravens ran motion that confused the Chargers defense, and Hill rumbled down the left sideline for the score. The career-long run by Hill extends Baltimore's lead to 30-16 with 7:24 remaining. Chargers receiver Quentin Johnston had a third-and-6 catch in his hands and open field in front of him for a potential big gain. But he couldn't hold on. Johnston dropped the pass from Justin Herbert, and the Chargers were forced to punt thanks to the critical miscue at a key juncture of the game. Baltimore takes over possession with a 23-16 lead and 10:45 remaining. Quentin Johnston with a BRUTAL drop — Mr Matthew CFB (@MrMatthew_CFB) Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins has now been ruled out with a knee injury. It's Gus Edwards as the bellcow the rest of the way for Los Angeles. injury update: J.K. Dobbins (knee) has been downgraded to out. — Los Angeles Chargers (@chargers) The Ravens have now converted three fourth-down conversions into two touchdowns. Baltimore went for it twice on fourth-and-1 and converted each time on their latest drive and capped it off with a touchdown pass from Lamar Jackson to Mark Andrews in the back of the end zone. A two-point conversion fails, and the Ravens extend their lead to 23-16 with 12:32 remaining in regulation. John Harbaugh's playing aggressive against his brother, and it's paying off. TOUCHDOWN MARK ANDREWS!!!! TUNE IN ON ESPN!! — Baltimore Ravens (@Ravens) Baltimore started the fourth quarter by going for it yet again on fourth-and-1 after converting twice in two previous tries, including earlier in the same drive. So why not go for it again? Derrick Henry converts again with a 2-yard run to the Chargers' 23-yard line. The Ravens went for it again on fourth-and-1, this time from their own 39. There was no doubt about this one. Derrick Henry rumbled 27 yards to pick up the first down and then some. FOURTH-DOWN CONVERSION!!! PICKS UP 27!! Tune in on ESPN!! — Baltimore Ravens (@Ravens) The Ravens and Chargers have traded field goals to start the second half. The Chargers answered Baltimore's opening field-goal drive with a 10-play, 36-yard drive that ended with a 52-yard field goal by Cameron Dicker, his third field goal of the night and his second from 52 yards. Baltimore leads, 17-16 with 4:08 remaining in the third quarter. Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins has yet to join his teammates on the sideline after halftime, according to ESPN. Dobbins is officially questionable with a knee injury. Gus Edwards would take over the lead role if Dobbins can't return. Justin Tucker's been uncharacteristically shaky this season with six missed field goals and one missed extra point. But he's true from 45 yards to cap Baltimore's first drive of the second half (10 plays, 43 yards) to extend the Ravens' lead to 17-13. Lamar Jackson completed passes on third-and-9 and third-and-10 to keep the field-goal drive alive. The Ravens start the second half with the ball and a 14-13 lead. A well-played half by both teams sends the game into halftime with the Ravens holding a 14-13 lead. Here are the key first-half stats: : 13 of 18 for 129 yards; 3 carries for 17 yards and 1 touchdown; 0 turnovers 5 of 9 for 89 yards and 1 touchdown; 3 carries for 14 yards and 1 touchdown; 0 turnovers 6 carries for 40 yards 9 carries for 66 yards 3 catches for 41 yards 1 catch for 40 yards and 1 touchdown 202 on 5.9 yards per play 176 on 7.7 yards per play 11 10 0 John Harbaugh's gamble did not go unanswered. The Chargers responded to Baltimore's stunning touchdown drive with a four-play 22-yard drive in the final 24 seconds of the first half. Cameron Dicker pays it off with a 52-yard field goal to cut Baltimore's lead to 14-13 at halftime. So far, the HarBowl is living up to its billing. Gutsy, aggressive play and strong execution from both teams. A big gamble pays off in a big way for the Ravens. Instead of punting, Baltimore went for it and got it on fourth-and-1 from its own 16-yard line after the first-half 2-minute warning. Five plays later, Lamar Jackson hit Rashod Bateman in a tight window for a 40-yard touchdown to take a 14-10 lead for Baltimore. John Harbaugh's gamble pays off big time against his little brother. TOUCHDOWN !!!!!!!! BIG PLAY BATE!!!! TUNE IN ON ESPN!! — Baltimore Ravens (@Ravens) The Ravens threw a big roll of the dice and picked up a first down on fourth-and-1 from their own 16 at the 2-minute warning. A direct snap to tight end Mark Andrews results in a 2-yard gain and a first down, and the Ravens don't give the ball back to the Chargers.
