Barr: DOJ has 500 investigations into rioters and destruction of statues

 

Attorney General William Barr said the Justice Department had "scores of indictments" filed against people who committed violence during a wave of protests across the country.

 

During Thursday's episode of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's podcast, Verdict, which is co-hosted by conservative commentator Michael Knowles, Barr said his agency was using 35 joint terrorist task forces across the country to investigate criminal activity, which has taken place since the Memorial Day death of George Floyd, a 46-year-old black man.

 

"When the real violence started around May 25, 26, and so forth, we started using our joint terrorist task forces around the country. And there are 35 of them around the country," Barr said.

 

"And now they are starting to go full bore, cranking out investigations, indictments against the people who are involved in this violence. So we've had scores of indictments already for such things as arson, destruction of federal property, things like that. And we have, right now, about 500 investigations underway," he added.

 

Barr told Cruz and Knowles that groups of "provocateurs and agitators" appeared to be well-coordinated and often call upon anarchist groups to carry out violent criminal activity.

Former bank chairman pursued to London over plundered $850m Kuwaiti state funds

 

Fahad Al Rajaan has been living in a luxury apartment in London after flight from Kuwait

 

A Kuwaiti businessman sentenced to life in prison for plundering his country’s state pension fund has been living in exile in a luxury London apartment as accountants scramble to unravel his complex finances, The National can reveal.

 

Fahad Al Rajaan – who headed the fund for three decades – fled to the UK after a whistle-blower triggered a continuing 12-year investigation into alleged kick-backs and money laundering on a vast scale.

 

The golf-loving Mr Al Rajaan, 71, based in London since 2014, is accused of stealing more than $840m in unauthorised commissions through a network of intermediaries and hiding the proceeds in offshore accounts and a global property empire, according to court papers filed in the UK.

 

He was arrested by police in London in 2017 at the request of Kuwait but he was released and is understood not to be facing a current threat of extradition. Mr Rajaan said he has been sentenced to life in prison with hard labour in his absence.

 

The former bank chairman and public servant has been living an “extraordinarily lavish lifestyle” having spent at least $210 million over the last 30 years, a judge said this month.

Establishing a National Bank

One of the most important of Alexander Hamilton's many contributions to the emerging American economy was his successful advocacy for the creation of a national bank. But the Bank of the United States, like many of Hamilton's other projects, would generate controversy.

 

Financial Footing for a New Nation

Hamilton had long believed in the need for banks to provide credit and stimulate the economy. As early as 1780, he wrote a letter describing central banks in Europe and wondered, "And why cannot we have an American bank?" Hamilton helped found the Bank of New York in 1784. Soon after he became the nation's first Treasury Secretary, he was already proposing a national equivalent. On December 15, 1790, Hamilton submitted a report to Congress making the case. He proposed a Bank of the United States with a $10 million capital (then five times more than all other American banks combined) and the ability to issue paper money. It would be based in Philadelphia and chartered for 20 years. The federal government would have a minority stake in the Bank, but its board of directors would be private individuals, thus ensuring a mix of public oversight and private enterprise.
