Movies to Watch When Election Anxiety Hits

The article explores the potential impact of films on presidential elections, focusing on the controversy surrounding "The Apprentice," a film about Donald Trump's early career, released before the 2024 election. Despite Trump's claims that the film is a political attack, historical examples suggest that movies rarely sway election outcomes significantly. Filmmakers often aim to influence public discourse rather than directly affect voting, as seen in past politically charged films like "Fahrenheit 9/11" and "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm."

"Sen. Bob Menendez Embroiled in New Bribery and Corruption Allegations Tied to Qatar"

Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey has been charged with using his political influence to aid the Qatari government, following previous accusations of similar conduct with the Egyptian government. Federal prosecutors allege Menendez accepted bribes from a New Jersey developer, Fred Daibes, in exchange for securing financial backing from a Qatari-linked investment fund. Menendez and his wife attempted to cover up the bribery by repaying the funds and creating false documentation. All defendants have pleaded not guilty and are scheduled for trial in May.
