A messy legal battle between David Geffen and his estranged husband, Donavan Michaels, over fallout from their divorce has been settled. Lawyers for Michaels informed the court in November of a deal to resolve the case. Terms of the agreement weren’t disclosed. Geffen filed for divorce from Michaels in April after less than two years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. Michaels promptly brought a breach of contract lawsuit. Under an oral deal the two sides allegedly reached during their relationship, Michaels claimed he was told the couple would share all their earnings and property, and that he’d be provided financial support for the rest of his life. In exchange, he said he gave up his model career and agreed to handle most household duties, among other things. Geffen and Michaels, whose real name is David Armstrong, married in 2023 without a prenup, according to the complaint. The lawsuit revealed intimate details of Geffen’s life. Michaels said the mogul paid him $10,000 for sex the night that they met after meeting on the dating website, SeekingArrangements.com. …

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Maryland has reached a settlement with the owner and operator of the massive cargo ship that crashed into a Baltimore bridge two years ago, causing its deadly collapse, state officials announced Thursday. The settlement in principle was reached with Grace Ocean Private Limited and Synergy Marine Pte Ltd, owner and operator of the M/V Dali, Attorney General Anthony Brown said. The settlement resolves a portion of the state’s claims arising from the ship’s March 26, 2024, crash into the Francis Scott Key Bridge. “For two years, Maryland workers, families, and communities have carried the weight of a disaster that should never have happened,” Brown said in a news release.

ALA Settles Lawsuit in Case Against Trump’s Dismantling of IMLS

ALA Settles Lawsuit in Case Against Trump’s Dismantling of IMLS

Published by José Betancourt

Earlier this week, the Trump administration dropped its appeal in Rhode Island v. Trump, one of the two cases filed against the regime following the gutting of the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) last March. Now, just days later, the second case brought to court over the IMLS’s dismantling has an outcome, too. The Plaintiffs, the American Library Association (ALA) and American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), have settled their case against Keith Sonderling (Sonderling, at the time of the initial filing, served as the IMLS Acting Director but no longer holds the title, even as he continues to serve unofficially in the role). The settlement in ALA v. Sonderling follows the outcome in Rhode Island v. Trump. The agency cannot be further dismantled under executive orders. In addition, the agency will continue its work in distributing grants, conducting research, and supporting public libraries and museums nationwide. The ALA v. Sonderling settlement also states that the IMLS will not be subject to further Reductions in Force (RIFs). The agency, which …

“Historic Injustice”: DOJ Settles With Retired Gen. Flynn For Malicious Russiagate Prosecution

Published by Jenni Sidey

Authored by Troy Myers via The Epoch Times, The Department of Justice (DOJ) and retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, a former national security adviser in President Donald Trump’s first term, reached an undisclosed financial settlement Wednesday, according to court documents. Flynn sought a $50 million payout from the government for what he claimed were politically motivated actions against him. The settlement brings an end to a years-long dispute that stemmed from false claims of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. Once Flynn has confirmed receipt of the settlement funds, he and the DOJ will file a joint dismissal of the case with prejudice, with each party bearing its own costs and fees, the agreement shows. Flynn’s lawyer provided an emailed statement to The Epoch Times, including a statement from the former Trump adviser as well. Although the case has reached a settlement, Flynn said, “Nothing can fully compensate for the hell that my family and I have endured over these many years.” “There should never again be such a brazen attempt to weaponize federal law …
