In one of the wildest stories emerging yet surrounding the embattled "Black Panther 2" production, TMZ reported on March 9 that director Ryan Coogler was arrested back in January in a mistaken case of alleged bank robbery.  The shocking incident occurred, per an Atlanta Police Department report obtained by TMZ, after Coogler entered a Bank of America in Atlanta, Georgia to make a withdrawal. With his face almost entirely covered by a knit cap, sunglasses, and a COVID-19 face mask, Coogler is seen in bank security footage handing a teller a withdrawal slip. Reportedly, Coogler's handwritten note read, "I would like to withdraw $12,000 cash from my checking account. Please do the money count somewhere else. I'd like to be discreet." He was likely hoping to ensure the safety of his mass transaction with these incognito precautions.  However, his teller — after an alarm on her computer was triggered processing his withdrawal — informed superiors that Coogler h...

In the days following the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, lawmakers began to discuss the need for an investigation focused on what led to the attack, how the building was breached so easily and how any similar event could be prevented from happening again. Chairman of the Committee Bennie Thompson The idea of the inquiry quickly became partisan. First, many Republicans said any investigation should also focus on violence and damage to public property during the racial justice protests in the summer of 2020. Then they argued that Democrats would simply use the investigation as a partisan political tool by focusing on former president Donald Trump’s behaviour in an attempt to tar the GOP ahead of the 2022 midterm elections. Hope for comity wasn’t dead yet early in the year, and a bipartisan agreement was hammered out in May by the leaders of the House Homeland Security Committee to create an independent commission that was modelled on the panel that investigated the 9/11 terror...

Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, a leader of the extremist group the Proud Boys, has been indicted on a conspiracy charge in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity. Tarrio, 38, who lives in Miami, joins Oath Keeper founder Stewart Rhodes as the two most high-profile individuals charged by the Justice Department in connection with the attack. In recent months, Tarrio has described himself as a former leader of the Proud Boys. The charge against him marks another major move in the multi-pronged investigation by the Justice Department and FBI of the extremist groups who allegedly played large roles in the Jan. 6 violence.  From the start of the investigation — the largest in the FBI’s history in terms of charged suspects — agents have focused on the role that the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers allegedly played in driving the confrontation between supporters of then-President Donald Trump and police stationed outside t...

Trevor Noah has called out the unequal coverage of the war in Ukraine in comparison to how conflicts are typically reported in other regions such as Africa and the Middle East. On Monday's episode of The Daily Show, the comedian did not hold back when he sharply criticized several reporters for their coverage of the Russian invasion in, what as some broadcasters put it, a "relatively civilized," "relatively European" country that is "not a developing, Third World nation." The war in Ukraine has sparked a conversation over the past week about how much of the reporting on the conflict has emphasized how the predominantly white Ukrainian people are somehow more deserving of sympathy and shock rather than those in war-torn places of mostly non-white people. "I don't know about you but I have been glued to the TV all weekend watching all the news," Noah said in his monologue. "And beyond the war itself ... there's a really int...

Former Attorney General Bill Barr said he does think former President Donald Trump was 'responsible' for the January 6 Capitol attack, telling NBC's Lester Holt the ex-president wanted to 'intimidate Congress.'  Barr also slammed Trump's 'clown show' of lawyers, in a new clip of Holt's interview that debuted Friday morning.  'I do think he was responsible in the broad sense of that word,' Barr told Holt about January 6. 'It appears that part of the plan was to send this group up to the Hill.'  'I think the whole idea was to intimidate Congress and I think that that was wrong,' the former attorney general added.  Barr also revealed that he ridiculed Trump's legal team during the same heated meeting where he offered up his resignation.  'I said the reason you are where you are is because you wheeled out a clown show of lawyers,' Barr said. 'Yeah, clown car, or something like that - just a bunch of clowns...

Most of the yachts are registered through offshore vehicles and docked in far-flung locales. Russian billionaires  have been in the spotlight since Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine on February 24. In his State of the Union address on Tuesday, President Joe Biden said his administration would work with European countries to target Russian oligarchs by seizing “their yachts, their luxury apartments, their private jets.” The European Union imposed sanctions on six Russian oligarchs on Monday, bringing the total number of sanctioned Russian billionaires to 16. At least two yachts owned by those sanctioned billionaires—Alexey Mordashov and Alisher Usmanov—were last tracked in Italy and Germany. Their personal assets in the European Union, from private jets and superyachts to luxury real estate, may now be frozen. It’s still unclear whether the EU, the U.S. or the U.K. will declare additional sanctions on other individuals. As recently as February 28,...
