Quick Glance: Mandisa, 'American Idol' Singer and Grammy Winner, Passes Away at 47

Grammy-winning singer Mandisa, who rose to fame on season five of 'American Idol,' has passed away, her representative confirmed on Friday.

In 2017, the singer told 'Good Morning America' that she fell into a deep depression in 2014 and almost took her own life following the death of her close friend, Lakisha Mitchell, who had breast cancer.

Tributes poured in following news of Mandisa’s passing, with colleagues like Robin Roberts and Matthew West expressing their sorrow and reminiscing about their time spent with the late singer.

The House has advanced a foreign aid package of $95 billion for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and humanitarian support with rare bipartisan support.

Speaker Mike Johnson implemented a strategy to secure support for wartime funding, especially for Ukraine in its battle against Russia.

President Joe Biden and even Republican presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump have endorsed the speaker's efforts.

To pass each bill, complex bipartisan coalitions need to be formed by Johnson due to his slim Republican majority in the House, relying on Democratic support.

‘You’re Never Too Busy For Your Banker’: How Italy’s ’Ndrangheta Mafia Allegedly Infiltrated Canadian Banks - OCCRP

Quick Glance: How Italy’s 'Ndrangheta Mafia Allegedly Infiltrated Canadian Banks

A Canadian faction of the 'Ndrangheta allegedly had close relationships with employees at two major Canadian banks to facilitate their financial activities.

Angelo Figliomeni, the suspected mob boss, was at the center of the investigation, indicating that bankers were involved in the money laundering process of the group.

The investigation revealed that the 'Ndrangheta organization generated income through illegal activities such as gambling and loan sharking, which were used for money laundering by bankers like Martino.

Police seized assets worth millions of dollars and closed around 500 accounts at the implicated banks. Charges against Figliomeni and his co-defendants were dropped due to procedural errors.

Quick Glance: New York Attorney-General Calls for Invalidation of Donald Trump's $175mn Bond

Letitia James' office argues that Donald Trump's bond is not backed by sufficient collateral or supported by an appropriately licensed firm.

The attorney-general's office suggests that the $175mn bond, underwritten by Knight Specialty Insurance Company, should be deemed ineffective, and Trump should be given another week to secure an alternative backer.

The attorney-general's office contends that the bond is invalid as it is supported by a company that does not possess the required qualification certificate for a valid surety in New York and that insufficient information regarding the collateral was provided.

Trump's lawyers claimed securing a bond for the full judgment amount was 'impossible', leading the court to reduce it to $175mn. Knight underwrote the bond, yet lacks the necessary certification for a valid surety in New York.

Quick Glance: Prince Harry Officially Residing in U.S.

Prince Harry and his wife Meghan have considered California home, and now his official residency in the U.S. has been documented in a corporate filing.

The document was filed at Britain’s corporate registrar, Companies House, to update the official residency of the British royal for business records of Travalyst Limited.

There had been little official confirmation of Harry’s residency status until this week, with an entry indicating a change of residency to June 29, 2023, the day the couple left Frogmore Cottage, their British home.

It is unclear what type of U.S. visa or residency permit Harry holds, despite efforts by conservative activists in the U.S. to ascertain them, including an ongoing lawsuit.

Quick Glance: Trump's Hush Money Trial: Opening Statements Scheduled for Monday

The completion of the final jury selection for Donald Trump's hush money trial occurred, with an appellate judge rejecting the former president's latest attempt to stop the case.

The accusation against Trump involves a system to conceal negative stories that could harm his 2016 campaign. Trump has pleaded not guilty, asserting the falsehood of the stories.

Despite prior failed attempts to delay the trial, a lawyer for Trump argued in court that the jury selection was rushed, but the court denied this claim.

Throughout the trial, Trump utilized the prosecution as a political rallying cry, presenting himself as a victim while managing his dual role as both a defendant and a presidential candidate.

Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial

A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.

The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.

Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.

The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

Quick Glance: Biden Receives Kennedy Family Endorsements in Philadelphia

President Joe Biden received endorsements from at least 15 members of the Kennedy political family during a campaign stop in Philadelphia to undermine Donald Trump and marginalize the candidacy of independent Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Kerry Kennedy, daughter of former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, niece of former President John F. Kennedy, and sister of the current presidential candidate, delivered the endorsements in Philadelphia, calling Biden her hero.

The decision to highlight the Kennedy family's support more than six months from Election Day indicates how seriously Biden's team is taking a long shot candidate using his last name's lingering Democratic magic.

Biden used the event to keep up the pressure on Trump, emphasizing the importance of the election not for himself, but to keep Trump out, stating the race was significant due to the potential consequences if they lose this election. The Kennedy family endorsements for Biden were hardly a surprise, as prominent members of the Democratic family did not politically align with Kennedy Jr.

Quick Glance: The Secret Organization in World War II | Rotten Tomatoes

An action-packed comedy reveals the formation of the first special forces unit in World War II based on secret files and true events.

The director presents a blend of suspense and spectacle, although some critics criticize the lack of historical details and character development.

Despite criticism of the portrayal as pure Hollywood entertainment, the film is deemed entertaining and action-packed, immersing audiences in a fascinating story.
