Hunter Biden’s Former Business Partner to Be Sentenced after Court Revives Fraud Conviction

Posted: 09 Oct 2020 07:32 AM PDT

Hunter Biden's Former Business Partner to Be Sentenced after Court Revives Fraud ConvictionHunter Biden's former business parter will face sentencing in a fraud case after a federal appeals court on Wednesday reinstated his conviction.Devon Archer, a longtime business associate of Joe Biden's son, was convicted in June, 2018 on charges related to his involvement in a scheme to defraud a Native American tribe.The defendants, including Archer, are accused of pressuring the Wakpamni Lake Community Association, an affiliate of the Oglala Sioux Tribe to issue $60 million in economic-development bonds which the defendants then used for their own purposes, such as investing in their own businesses instead of investing it back into the tribe.After his conviction, a federal judge in New York overturned Archer's conviction later that year, saying the evidence was insufficient to prove that Archer was aware of the multi-million dollar bond fraud scheme.The three-judge panel of the New York-based 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated Archer's conviction on Wednesday, ruling that the lower court "abused its discretion in vacating the judgment and granting a new trial" and stating that Archer "knew at least the general nature and extent of the scheme and intended to bring about its success."Archer is scheduled to be sentenced on January 21.Archer worked with Hunter Biden on various business ventures, including serving with the Democratic presidential nominee's son on the board of a Ukrainian gas company Burisma Holdings.Hunter Biden was appointed to Burisma's board in 2014 while his father was vice president and resigned from the board in April of last year after his lucrative position on the board drew scrutiny.In spring, 2016, Biden called on Ukraine to fire the prosecutor who had been investigating the energy company paying his son. The vice president threatened to withdraw $1 billion in U.S. military aid to Ukraine if the country did not fire the prosecutor, who was accused by the State Department and U.S. allies in Europe of being soft on corruption.

Homeless migrants sleep rough beneath Dubai's skyscrapers as Covid employment crisis bites

Posted: 09 Oct 2020 06:49 AM PDT

Homeless migrants sleep rough beneath Dubai's skyscrapers as Covid employment crisis bitesDubai is witnessing a rare uptick in homelessness as migrant workers left destitute by the Covid downturn have begun sleeping out in parks under the glistening skyscrapers. Blue collar workers from Asia and Africa say they are trapped after losing jobs and running out of money to return home. Migrant workers who spoke to The Telegraph claimed they have been left abandoned after losing their jobs as the economy tightens. With no jobs and expired visas, many have congregated in parks in Dubai's poorer Satwa area, appealing for help for repatriation flights home. Homelessness and poverty are not typically visible in the United Arab Emirates' glitziest city. White collar jobs have also been threatened by the pandemic in UAE, with many UK expats returning home since coronavirus. Dubai's economy is geared towards heavy consumer spending in hospitality, luxury real estate and travel. Oxford Economics, a UK forecaster, estimates 900,000 jobs are under threat among a population of under 10 million.

Sheriff Pal of Militia Twins: Whitmer Kidnap Plot Could’ve Been a Legal ‘Citizen’s Arrest’ Attempt

Posted: 09 Oct 2020 11:58 AM PDT

Sheriff Pal of Militia Twins: Whitmer Kidnap Plot Could've Been a Legal 'Citizen's Arrest' AttemptAccording to prosecutors, twins Michael and William Null are a part of a militia group who conspired to overthrow the government, kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, and put her on trial for "treason."But according to a Michigan sheriff, who once shared the stage with one of the twins at an anti-Whitmer rally, they might have only wanted to perform a citizen's arrest on the Democratic governor, calling the bombshell allegations "just a charge.""It's just a charge, and they say a 'plot to kidnap' and you got to remember that. Are they trying to kidnap? Because a lot of people are angry with the governor, and they want her arrested. So are they trying to arrest or was it a kidnap attempt? Because you can still, in Michigan, if it's a felony, make a felony arrest," Barry County Sheriff Dar Leaf told Fox 17.> This interview with a sitting sheriff in Michigan is absolutely wild. pic.twitter.com/h7WKsrAqCZ> > — Ross Jones (@rossjonesWXYZ) October 9, 2020The Nulls are among seven men linked to the militia group Wolverine Watchmen who were hit on Thursday with several charges, including terrorism crimes, after allegedly planning to attack the state capitol building and attempt to "instigate a Civil war." In addition to the twins, Paul Bellar, 21, Shawn Fix, 38, Eric Molitor, 36, Pete Musico, 42, and Joseph Morrison, 42, were also charged.The charges came in tandem with federal charges against six other men in an alleged plot to kidnap Whitmer before Election Day."There has been a disturbing increase in anti-government rhetoric and the re-emergence of groups that embrace extremist ideologies," Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said Thursday. "This is more than just political disagreement or passionate advocacy. Some of these groups' mission is simply to create chaos and inflict harm upon others."On Friday, Nessel took aim at Leaf's defense of the Null brothers."As Michigan's top law enforcement official, let me make this abundantly clear—Persons who are not sworn, licensed members of a law enforcement agency cannot and should not 'arrest' government officials with whom they have disagreements. These comments are dangerous," she tweeted.But Tom Siver, who is representing the twins, claimed Friday the 38-year-old Michigan residents had been unfairly targeted in a "political vendetta" by state officials and law enforcement. He said the Nulls, who were being held in Antrim County Jail, are not "a flight risk, they aren't a danger to the community at all, an ask of a bond of a million dollars is punishing them before their trial.""At this point, we believe this is a political vendetta by the governor's office and the AG's office. If they believe this was true they would give us dates and times and they were delayed in taking action," Siver told UpNorthLive on Friday.The high bond, however, may be tied to the severity of the allegations. Prosecutors argue the Wolverine Watchmen plotted a violent attack on Whitmer and sought to incite a civil war this summer, with plans to kidnap other elected officials.The Nulls have a public history of showing their distaste for the Democratic governor and her policies—and were photographed at an anti-Whitmer demonstration at the Michigan capitol in April.The twins were among a group of militia members who stormed the capitol to protest Whitmer's COVID-19 restrictions, as the Detroit Free Press first reported. In one photo, the twins are seen wearing a "Michigan Liberty Militia" patch—referring to one of the militarized groups banned by Facebook in August—faux lanyards and walkie talkies. Both are also armed with semi-automatic weapons.At least one of the brothers was arrested during the event, which featured hundreds of protesters, some of them armed with assault rifles, demanding entry onto the state Senate floor to confront lawmakers set to debate an extension of the stay-at-home order.In a widely shared tweet at the time, State Sen. Dayna Polehanki (D) claimed some senators were wearing bulletproof vests as a result. A spokesperson for the Michigan AG's office confirmed Friday that Polehanki's tweet featured one of the Null brothers.> Directly above me, men with rifles yelling at us. Some of my colleagues who own bullet proof vests are wearing them. I have never appreciated our Sergeants-at-Arms more than today. mileg pic.twitter.com/voOZpPYWOs> > — Senator Dayna Polehanki (@SenPolehanki) April 30, 2020"They never came off as these 'screw the government, we're going to take it over' type of people," Michelle Gregoire, a member of one Michigan militia who was at the April event, told the Detroit News. Gregoire stressed that she had met the Nulls multiple times and added that her immediate response to Thursday's charges was, "Who the hell are the Wolverine Watchmen?"Ryan Kelley, an organizer of the April demonstration dubbed an "American Patriot Rally," added to the outlet he was "totally surprised" by the criminal charges and admitted he'd met the twins at one of the rallies—but claimed he had no other communication. Gregorie and Kelley did not immediately respond to The Daily Beast's request for comment. The American Patriot Council, the pro-militia group who hosted the rally, also issued a statement Thursday stressing they don't condone "violence as a form of political action."A month later, the Nulls joined a rally in protest of Whitmer's order in Grand Rapids—an event where the Barry County sheriff was a guest speaker. In his interview with Fox 17 Thursday, Leaf stressed he didn't know about the twin's alleged involvement in the plot against Whitmer, but said he doesn't have any regrets about sharing a stage with William Null."I haven't read everything up on it, I've got other duties to do, it wasn't our investigation. I was shocked, did not see this coming with those guys, but still we can't convict them in the media here, they do have a right to a fair trial," Leaf said before making the bonkers suggestion that a citizen's arrest in this case might have been legal.The Bizarre Brew of Crazy Behind the Whitmer Kidnapping Plot"I think it's MCL 764.4, 764.5 somewhere on there and it doesn't say if you are an elected officer that you're exempt from that arrest. I have to look at it from that angle and I'm hoping that's more what it is. In fact, these guys are innocent till proven guilty so I'm not even sure if they had any part of it," Leaf added.The sheriff added that the Null brothers had always been nice and respectful to him, stating the two "gentlemen" are "innocent til proven guilty. And we really, really should be careful, trying to try them in the media."A neighbor of William Null, who requested anonymity, told The Daily Beast he was "a bit surprised" to hear the 38-year-old was arrested for his involvement in the wild plot. Stressing there are "a lot of militia people here," the neighbor said Null didn't seem as violent as the allegations suggest."Guess it's hard to truly know your neighbors," the West Michigan man mused.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

Korean group must remove Berlin tribute to "comfort women"

Posted: 09 Oct 2020 04:19 AM PDT

Korean group must remove Berlin tribute to "comfort women"A Berlin district has ordered a local Korean group to remove a statue commemorating women used as sex slaves by Japan during World War II, saying Friday it goes beyond what had been approved. The issue of sex slaves, euphemistically called "comfort women," has been a major source of friction between South Korea and Japan, and the district's decision came after Japan expressed irritation about the statue depicting a woman sitting next to an empty chair. Stephan von Dassel, mayor of the central Mitte district, said permission had been given for the Korean organization to display a "peace statue" for one year, as a broad "statement against sexualized violence against women in armed conflicts."

Trump slams Gretchen Whitmer for not thanking him after FBI foiled alleged kidnapping plot

Posted: 08 Oct 2020 08:31 PM PDT

Trump slams Gretchen Whitmer for not thanking him after FBI foiled alleged kidnapping plotPresident Trump on Thursday night had harsh words for Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D), tweeting that she has done "a terrible job" and should have told him "thank you" after the FBI thwarted an alleged kidnapping plot against her.In April, Trump tweeted "LIBERATE MICHIGAN!" after Whitmer extended a stay-at-home mandate due to the coronavirus pandemic. Not long after, armed protesters entered the Michigan statehouse, with some shouting "Lock her up!" about Whitmer. The FBI revealed on Thursday that at least six men allegedly worked toward kidnapping Whitmer and taking her to Wisconsin, where the governor would "stand 'trial' for treason."During a press conference, Whitmer said Trump's words only encourage extremists, a statement that apparently offended the president. "The federal government provided tremendous help to the Great People of Michigan," Trump tweeted. "My Justice Department and federal law enforcement announced today that they foiled a dangerous plot against the governor of Michigan. Rather than say thank you, she calls me a white supremacist — while Biden and Democrats refuse to condemn antifa, anarchists, looters, and mobs that burn down Democrat run cities." (Whitmer did not directly call him a "white supremacist," and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has repeatedly condemned looters.)Trump went on to tweet that he does not tolerate "ANY extreme violence. Defending ALL Americans, even those who oppose and attack me, is what I will always do as your president! Governor Whitmer — open up your state, open up your schools, and open up your churches!"Biden also tweeted about the plot, except he praised Whitmer for working to "protect her state from a deadly pandemic." Biden said that when Trump tweeted about liberating Michigan, "that call was heard. He's giving oxygen to the bigotry and hate we see on the march in our country — and we have to stop it."More stories from theweek.com Mike Pence was the unlikely winner of the vice presidential debate The myth of Mike Pence's appeal Trump is shockingly bad at this
