Trump pardons Camberos after fresh fraud conviction post-commutation

President Trump granted a pardon to Adriana Camberos, a San Diego woman whose sentence was commuted in 2021 after a 2016 conspiracy to counterfeit 5‑Hour Energy drinks; she was later convicted in 2024 of a separate multimillion‑dollar grocery-fraud scheme, and the pardon comes amid a wave of clemencies with little public justification from the White House.

High Court weighs Roundup lawsuits shield

The Supreme Court will hear Monsanto’s bid to preempt state-law warnings about Roundup’s cancer risk under federal pesticide law, potentially shielding the company from tens of thousands of lawsuits even though the EPA has not required a cancer warning. The case could affect more than 100,000 plaintiffs and clarify whether federal rules override state claims; a decision is expected by late June with arguments possibly in April.
