Madonna Seeks Dismissal of Lawsuit Over Late Concert Start

Madonna's legal team has requested the dismissal of a lawsuit filed by two men over her late concert start, arguing that the advertised start time did not promise when she would take the stage. The plaintiffs accused Madonna, Live Nation, and the venue of deceptive trade practices, but the dismissal request claims that no reasonable concertgoer would expect the headline act to perform at the printed event time. Madonna's team also argues that the plaintiffs do not plausibly allege any injury and that arriving home late is not a cognizable injury warranting a lawsuit against the pop icon.

"Menendez Bolsters Legal Team, Fights Back Against Bribery Charges"

Indicted Sen. Bob Menendez has added attorney Yaakov Roth, known for Supreme Court successes in corruption cases, to his legal team and seeks dismissal of charges, arguing that the allegations distort reality and criminalize routine legislative activity. Menendez's lawyers cite Roth's success in the McDonnell case, which narrowed the definition of corruption, and argue that the successive indictments against Menendez are a tactic to convict him in the court of public opinion. Menendez is scheduled to go on trial in May and has resisted calls to resign, facing a primary race to succeed him in New Jersey.

Hunter Biden Seeks Dismissal of Delaware Gun Charges

Hunter Biden's legal team has requested the dismissal of federal gun charges against him, arguing that prosecutors violated promises made in a previous agreement. The agreement, which would have allowed Biden to avoid felony charges, fell apart in July when a judge questioned its constitutionality. Biden's lawyers argue that the diversion agreement should remain intact, even if the plea deal on tax charges does not. They also claim that the prosecutor who brought the gun charges was not properly appointed as a special counsel. The outcome of this request could potentially lead to two trials for Hunter Biden next year while his father runs for reelection.
