Judge Blocks Boeing Plea Deal Over 737 Max Crash Settlements

A federal judge in Texas has rejected a plea deal between Boeing and the U.S. Justice Department regarding the 737 Max crashes that killed 346 people, citing concerns over the selection process for an independent monitor. Judge Reed O'Connor criticized the agreement for undermining public confidence and for including diversity considerations in the monitor's appointment. The decision is seen as a victory for the victims' families, who argued the deal was too lenient. Boeing and the DOJ have 30 days to renegotiate the terms.

"Trump's Legal Team Condemns Monitor's Report Ahead of Fraud Trial Ruling"

Trump's attorney criticized a report by the independent monitor overseeing the Trump Organization's finances, accusing it of exaggerating minor accounting discrepancies to justify ongoing oversight and the collection of excessive fees. The report found that while the organization had made some improvements, it still had multiple errors and misstatements. The attorney argued that the monitor's continued role serves no purpose and likened her to a fictional antagonist, while the New York attorney general's office declined to comment.

Pornhub Owner Settles Sex Trafficking Charge for $1.8M and Implements Independent Monitor

The owner of Pornhub, Aylo Holdings, has admitted to profiting from sex trafficking and has agreed to pay $1.8 million to the U.S. government and provide compensation to women whose videos were posted without their consent. As part of a deferred prosecution agreement, Aylo Holdings will also appoint an independent monitor for three years. The charges stem from Aylo's role in hosting videos and accepting payments from GirlsDoPorn, a now-defunct adult film production company involved in sex trafficking. The company has expressed regret and stated that it was unaware the consent forms provided by GirlsDoPorn were obtained through fraud and coercion.

"Trump's Last Defense: His Testimony in Civil Fraud Trial"

Attorneys for Donald Trump have announced that he will be called as the last defense witness in his civil fraud trial on December 11, with his son Eric Trump scheduled to testify on December 6. The defense has previously stated that it will conclude presenting its case by mid-December. Meanwhile, a Trump Organization executive testified that the company no longer compiles personal financial statements for the former president, as they are not required by any lenders at this time. The trial has already found Trump and his co-defendants liable for fraudulently inflating personal documents to obtain better loan terms. Additionally, the judge ruled against allowing testimony from the independent monitor appointed in the case, stating that it would be untimely and inappropriate.
