Senator Calls for FBI Probe of Carl Icahn for Possible Corruption

· August 30, 2017 ·

Tammy Duckworth (D-Illinois) is pushing for the FBI to investigate former Donald Trump adviser Carl Icahn for potentially being in violation of federal law. In a letter she wrote to FBI Director Christopher Wray on Wednesday, Duckworth alleged that Icahn illegally used his government position for hundreds of millions of dollars in personal gain.“It appears Mr. Icahn potentially violated the principal criminal conflict of interest statute … by participating personally and substantially … on a government matter that directly affects his own financial interests.” Specifically, Duckworth was referring to the Federal Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program.The law in question is 18 USC Section 208, which forbids employees of the Executive Branch from participating in matters where they have a financial stake, unless they disclose the interest in advance and receives a determination that it is not significant enough to harm the government’s … [Read more...] about Senator Calls for FBI Probe of Carl Icahn for Possible Corruption

In the end, the parties got an important precedent on the enforceability of intercreditor agreements in chapter 11 cases.IntroductionAs a result of the recent filings by companies with second lien debt, issues about the enforceability of intercreditor agreements between senior and junior lenders have become more commonplace in chapter 11 cases. Until recently, these issues have revolved around the ability of a junior lender to waive fundamental bankruptcy rights in an … [Read more...] about Intercreditor Agreements Get Trumped

Trump administration vetting shows holes in the screening

· April 24, 2018 ·

President Donald Trump propagated the term “extreme vetting.” But his immigration policies and hiring practices are beginning to show how far the walk can stray from the talk. As a candidate, Trump vowed a more careful examination than before of who would be allowed into the U.S. Once elected, he ordered what were billed as interim curbs on travel from several mostly Muslim nations. His directives drew court challenges. After more than a year of controversy, the Supreme Court is due Wednesday to hear arguments on the matter. In February Trump ordered up the creation of a “national vetting center” for immigration. But he and his aides have yet to explain exactly what the center would do that isn’t already done. Nor have they said if the new creation removes a need for the travel ban. So for the time being, “extreme vetting” may just as well describe a thrill sport like blood-soaked wrestling as anything the government is doing. And when it … [Read more...] about Trump administration vetting shows holes in the screening
