By Jordan Rubin Welcome back, Deadline: Legal Newsletter readers . Donald Trump’s first attorney general pick quit before he could be fired (or, rather, not hired), the president-elect’s hush money sentencing was further postponed , and the Supreme Court issued an opinion that wasn’t much of an opinion at all. We’ll get to all that — but first, let’s talk judges. Not the justices who get most of the attention , but the judges on the nation’s trial and appellate courts. Although Democrats will lose the White House and Senate come January, they’ve been confirming key jurists to these lower courts during the post-election “lame duck” period before Republicans take over. Among President Joe Biden’s nominees who won lifetime appointments this week is Amir Ali, who’ll serve on Washington, D.C.’s federal trial court. Don’t be surprised if this young and accomplished civil rights lawyer is floated as a high court pick for a future Democratic president. Indeed, Biden’s lone justice, Ketanji Brown Jackson, also began her judicial career on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Democrats are closing in on the 234 judges seated in Trump’s first term . Whether they meet or beat that number remains to be seen , as Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and company race the clock before they lose power. Meanwhile, Matt Gaetz won’t be attorney general. He withdrew after it became clear the incoming GOP-majority Senate wouldn’t confirm him . In keeping with the Florida loyalist theme, Trump quickly announced Pam Bondi as the next top cop contestant. Like Gaetz, she’s an avatar for MAGA vengeance, but unlike Gaetz, she has criminal experience beyond being investigated . The former Florida attorney general led a “lock her up” chant against Hillary Clinton at the 2016 Republican National Convention. When it turned out that Trump would be the one facing lockup, Bondi said on Fox News last year that his prosecutors “will be prosecuted.” Bondi also backed Trump’s effort to overturn 2020 election results ; she defended him in his first impeachment ; and, as Florida AG, she didn’t take action against Trump’s fraudulent for-profit university — after his foundation gave $25,000 to a political action committee supporting her. That last move led Stephen Colbert to call Bondi “the only person in the world ever to make money from Trump University ... other than Donald Trump.” In his criminal cases , the main action (or lack thereof) was in New York. Judge Juan Merchan approved Trump’s request to file a motion to dismiss the case outright due to his impending White House return. That motion is due Dec. 2 and the state’s response is due Dec. 9, after which Merchan can rule on that request as well as Trump’s pending motion to overturn his guilty verdicts based on the Supreme Court immunity ruling. Only then can the case proceed to sentencing, which is by no means a certainty before Trump takes office. (More on that in this week’s “Ask Jordan.” ) We also got a mysterious piece of news in the Georgia election interference case. The state appeals court was supposed to hear arguments next month in the defense effort to disqualify Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis. But the court abruptly canceled the hearing without explanation. The court’s next move could shed light on the cancellation. As in New York, it’s unclear what will happen in the state case that — unlike the federal ones — Trump can’t get dismissed or pardon away by virtue of being president. Unlike the New York case, where Trump is the only defendant, he has many co-defendants in Georgia who could face televised trials while he’s in office. The Supreme Court issued its first opinion of the term in an argued case on Friday (the court’s first opinion overall was in a capital case summarily decided without argument). But the court’s “ruling” in Facebook v. Amalgamated Bank was a one-sentence order dismissing the case as improvidently granted , meaning the court realized after the fact that it shouldn’t have taken up the appeal in the first place. Whoops! The justices also added to their docket on Friday, taking up a new appeal over the scope of federal agency power. Elsewhere on the high court docket, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is pressing his luck with an application to halt misinformation investigations of doctors in Washington state. Justice Elena Kagan rejected his attempt on Wednesday, but now he’s shopping it to Justice Clarence Thomas . Former Trump White House advisor Peter Navarro tried a similar move of turning to another justice when he fought to stay out of prison for Jan. 6 committee contempt, but the full court ultimately rejected him . We’ll see if Trump’s pick for Health and Human Services fares better in his high court quest. Finally, a programming note: The newsletter is off next week for Thanksgiving and will return the first week of December. It should be a busy one, with special counsel Jack Smith slated to update the courts about his plans for Trump’s federal cases, Trump’s New York dismissal motion due to Merchan, and the justices set to hear arguments over transgender rights in United States v.

Morgan Stanley Emerging Markets Debt Fund, Inc. (NYSE:MSD) Shares Sold by Pathstone Holdings LLCDLH Reports Fiscal 2024 Fourth Quarter Results

The Islanders bookended November with wins over the Sabres, both times protecting their third-period lead and scoring on the power play. If only the rest of the month went like that. They snapped a three-game losing streak with a 3-0 victory on Saturday night at UBS Arena with both teams playing on back-to-back days and the Islanders dressing 11 forwards and seven defensemen. The Islanders had been in a 1-4-2 skid, having failed to protect a third-period lead in five of those matches. Ilya Sorokin made 29 saves for his first shutout of the season. That included stretching out his right pad to deny Dylan Cozens’ shorthanded one-timer at 1:11 of the third period. The Islanders (9-10-6) earned a 4-3 win in Buffalo on Nov. 1 during which defensemen Alexander Romanov, Mike Reilly and Adam Pelech all exited with injuries. Only Romanov has returned to the lineup. But the Islanders finished November a disappointing 6-5-4, unable to protect a third-period lead six times overall. The Islanders were in a 1-for-14 power-play rut over their previous seven games and coach Patrick Roy called their man advantage efforts “awful” in Friday afternoon’s 5-4 overtime loss in Washington as they were 0-for-3. They went 1-for-3 against the Sabres as Anders Lee finally opened the scoring Saturday by getting to the crease past Ryan McLeod, whose stick had snapped, to deflect Kyle Palmieri’s feed at 7:23 of the second period. Lee then fed Simon Holmstrom on an odd-man rush as Holmstrom shot the puck past the outstretched glove of James Reimer (17 saves) to make it 2-0 at 9:28 of the second period. Holmstrom added an empty-netter for his second straight two-goal game. The first period passed relatively uneventfully – with two high-danger chances for either side per NaturalStatTrick.com – though the Islanders did have an apparent goal overturned. Matt Martin swiped in the puck at the crease at 12:52 but the Sabres (11-11-2) successfully challenged Casey Cizikas was offside. This despite the Sabres, who have lost three in a row, touching the puck last before it came over their blue line. Notes & quotes: Jean-Gabriel Pageau (lower body) remained unavailable and listed as day to day . . . Pierre Engvall was the healthy scratch. Roy said he has been unhappy with Engvall playing too much on the outside in the offensive zone. “When he’s played his best, it’s when he goes to the net front,” Roy said. “When you start to play on the outside, I’m not as crazy about him when he does that. Sometimes just watching a game, hopefully that will send a message ... ” ... D Scott Mayfield was in the lineup after exiting against the Capitals in the third period when he was struck in the face by a shot. Mayfield did not require additional facial protection against the Sabres. Andrew Gross joined Newsday in 2018 to cover the Islanders. He began reporting on the NHL in 2003 and has previously covered the Rangers and Devils. Other assignments have included the Jets, St. John’s and MLB.Barclays PLC raised its position in Embecta Corp.

Singh led the country from 2004 to 2014 and was considered the architect of India’s economic liberalisation. He died on Thursday aged 92. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was present at the ceremony on Saturday. He has called Singh one of the country’s “most distinguished leaders”. Mourners turned out across the capital to pay their respects as Singh’s coffin, flanked by an honour guard, was taken through the city to the cremation grounds. His eldest daughter lit his funeral pyre at the crematorium in front of Premier Modi, President Droupadi Murmu, Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar and senior members of Singh’s Congress Party. Foreign dignitaries such as the King of Bhutan Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and Mauritius Foreign Minister Dhananjay Ramful were also in attendance. Singh received full state honours in a ceremony that included a 21-gun salute. Following his death on Thursday night, the government declared seven days of national mourning. Paying tribute shortly after his death, Modi said Singh’s “wisdom and humility were always visible” during their interactions and that he had “made extensive efforts to improve people’s lives” as Prime Minister. Opposition Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who was also present at the funeral, said he had lost “a mentor and a guide”. Among foreign tributes, US President Joe Biden said his country’s “unprecedented level of cooperation” with India would not have been possible without Singh’s “strategic vision and political courage”. “He was a true statesman. A dedicated public servant. And above all, he was a kind and humble person,” Biden said in a statement. Singh changed India’s economic growth trajectory during his time as Prime Minister and as the country’s Finance Minister in 1991. (BBC)

Trump 2.0 has a Cabinet and executive branch of different positions and eclectic personalities

Suspect in UnitedHealthcare CEO killing charged with murder in New York, court records show

ONE Gas Issues 2025 Financial GuidanceLetters for Dec. 10: Declining a reelection bid is President Biden’s defining legacy in officeDAMASCUS, Syria — Syria's prime minister said Monday that most cabinet ministers were back at work after rebels overthrew President Bashar Assad, but some state workers failed to return to their jobs, and a United Nations official said the country's public sector came "to a complete and abrupt halt." Meanwhile, streams of refugees crossed back into Syria from neighboring countries, hoping for a more peaceful future and looking for relatives who disappeared during Assad's brutal rule. The rebel alliance now in control of much of the country is led by a former senior al-Qaida militant who severed ties with the extremist group years ago and promises representative government and religious tolerance. The rebel command said Monday they would not tell women how to dress. "It is strictly forbidden to interfere with women's dress or impose any request related to their clothing or appearance, including requests for modesty," the command said on social media. Nearly two days after rebels entered the capital, some key government services shut down after state workers ignored calls to go back to their jobs, the U.N. official said, causing issues at airports and borders and slowing the flow of humanitarian aid. Rebel leader Ahmad al-Sharaa, who was long known by his nom de guerre Abu Mohammed al-Golani, also met for the first time with Prime Minister Mohammad Ghazi Jalali, who stayed in Syria when Assad fled. Israel said it carried out airstrikes on suspected chemical weapons sites and long-range rockets to keep them from falling into the hands of extremists. Israel also seized a buffer zone inside Syria after Syrian troops withdrew. In northern Syria, Turkey said allied opposition forces seized the town of Manbij from Kurdish-led forces backed by the United States, a reminder that even after Assad's departure, the country remains split among armed groups that have fought in the past. The Kremlin said Russia granted political asylum to Assad, a decision made by President Vladimir Putin. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov declined to comment on Assad's specific whereabouts and said Putin did not plan to meet with him. Damascus was quiet Monday, with life slowly returning to normal, though most shops and public institutions were closed. In public squares, some people still celebrated. Civilian traffic resumed, but there was no public transport. Long lines formed in front of bakeries and other food stores. There was little sign of any security presence, though in some areas small groups of armed men were stationed in the streets. Across swathes of Syria, families are now waiting outside prisons, security offices and courts, hoping for news of loved ones who were imprisoned or who disappeared. Just north of Damascus in the feared Saydnaya military prison, women detainees, some with their children, screamed as rebels broke locks off their cell doors. Amnesty International and other groups say dozens of people were secretly executed every week in Saydnaya, and they estimate that up to 13,000 Syrians were killed between 2011 and 2016. "Don't be afraid," one rebel said as he ushered women from packed cells. "Bashar Assad has fallen!" In southern Turkey, Mustafa Sultan was among hundreds of Syrian refugees waiting at border crossings to head home. He was searching for his older brother, who was imprisoned under Assad. "I haven't seen him for 13 years," he said. "I am going to go see whether he's alive." Jalali, the prime minister, sought to project normalcy since Assad fled. "We are working so that the transitional period is quick and smooth," he told Sky News Arabia TV on Monday, saying the security situation already improved from the day before. At the court of Justice in Damascus, which was stormed by the rebels to free detainees, Judge Khitam Haddad, an aide to the justice minister in the outgoing government, said Sunday that judges were ready to resume work quickly. "We want to give everyone their rights," Haddad said outside the courthouse. "We want to build a new Syria and to keep the work, but with new methods." But a U.N. official said some government services were paralyzed as worried state employees stayed home. The public sector "has just come to a complete and abrupt halt," said U.N. Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for Syria Adam Abdelmoula, noting, for example, that an aid flight carrying urgently needed medical supplies was put on hold after aviation employees abandoned their jobs. "This is a country that has had one government for 53 years and then suddenly all of those who have been demonized by the public media are now in charge in the nation's capital," Abdelmoula told The Associated Press. "I think it will take a couple of days and a lot of assurance on the part of the armed groups for these people to return to work again."

N’DJAMENA, Chad (AP) — Chadians voted Sunday amid a low turnout in parliamentary and regional elections that will end a three-year transitional period from military rule but which the main opposition is boycotting after accusing authorities of not overseeing a credible electoral process. The parliamentary election is the first in more than a decade in Chad and comes months after the junta leader, Mahamat Idriss Deby, won a disputed presidential vote that was meant to return democracy. Deby took power in 2021 following the death of his father and longtime president Idriss Deby Itno, who spent three decades in power. Voting ended late Monday although official results won't be known for about two weeks. The election will “pave the way for the era of decentralization so long awaited and desired by the Chadian people," Deby said. The oil-exporting country of 18 million people, among Africa’s poorest, had not had a free and fair transfer of power since it became independent from France in 1960. The elections this year are the first in junta-led countries in Africa’s Sahel region to hold a promised but delayed return to democracy. At least 8 million voters are registered to elect 188 legislators in the Central African nation’s new National Assembly. Representatives at the provincial and municipal levels will also be elected. There was a low voter turnout in the capital N’Djamena, where only a handful of voters were seen in some polling stations. “We hope that the people we voted for do a good job for a better Chad, a Chad with a future," said Mahamat Issa Hissein, who voted in the capital. More than 10 opposition parties are boycotting the vote, including the main Transformers party, whose candidate, Succes Masra, came second in the presidential election. The party has criticized the parliamentary election, as well as the presidential vote that many observers were banned from, as a “charade” and a ploy for Deby to remain in power to continue a “dynasty." Masra briefly served as prime minister earlier this year after returning from exile before he resigned to run for president. On Saturday, he alleged that results of the vote would be tampered with and told voters, “It is better to stay at home.” Sunday's election comes at a critical period for Chad, which is battling several security challenges from Boko Haram militant attacks in the Lake Chad region to the break in decadeslong military ties with France, its key ally. Mahamat Oumar Adam, a Chadian political scientist, said the main issue at stake in the election is not losing the country's democracy to a prolonged transition. That transition began in 2021, and featured a national dialogue in 2022, a constitutional referendum in 2023 and this year’s presidential election. “This is the last stage of the process of exiting the transition (but) the shortcoming is related to the lack of opposition in this election,” Adam said. —- Asadu reported from Abuja, Nigeria.

This release was published on openPR.Karnataka Lokayukta conducted a surprise inspection at KC General Hospital in Bengaluru's Malleswaram area on Friday, following multiple complaints about corruption and mismanagement. According to The New Indian Express report , the inspection revealed several alarming issues plaguing one of Bengaluru’s key government hospitals, raising serious concerns about patient care and hospital operations. (Also Read: Karnataka Congress expels party leader over sexual harassment case ) Bribes, staff Shortages, and hygiene issues exposed The investigation, initiated after public complaints, found that hospital staff had allegedly been soliciting bribes for patient admission. In one instance, a pregnant woman was reportedly denied immediate admission late at night and was asked for a bribe, TNIE report added. Doctors’ attendance was another major concern. By 10am, only one of the five scheduled doctors had arrived for duty, despite the shift starting at 9am. Patients also complained that doctors regularly prescribed medicines to be purchased from external pharmacies, even though the hospital had these medicines in stock. The inspection also revealed severe staff shortages, with only three patients admitted to the hospital’s 10 special rooms. The pharmacy was operating irregularly, with medicines listed as unavailable found in stock and expired medications left undisposed of. Hygiene and infrastrucure were found to be in a deplorable condition. The paediatric intensive care unit had only one functioning ventilator, while critical equipment like the ECG machine in the maternity ward and Doppler devices were non-operational.
