In Schumers Washington money does grow on trees

Sen. Chuck Schumer on Sunday said if the Trump administration wants schools to reopen safely in New York and across the country this fall, the federal government will have to boost funding to help with some of the costs.

Schumer wants the feds to fork over $175 billion for the effort. Without the funds to help cover the costs of Personal Protection Equipment and cleaning supplies, local governments could be hit with sky-high expenses that would devastate their budgets, he argued.

Schumer, along with Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), proposed a legislative package — called the Coronavirus Child Care and Education Relief Act — that he says would “substantially” cover the costs of reopening K-12 schools.

Lawyers for Ghislaine Maxwell, a British socialite believed to be linked to late Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operations, are currently trying to convince the judge on her case to keep the records sealed and prevent their release to the public, citing their sensitive contents, The Sunday Times reported citing the court filing. They argued that the docs, which include Maxwell's 418-page-long deposition logs, flight records of Epstein's private jet, and Florida police reports, contain details regarding "intrusive questions about [Maxwell’s] sex life".

The lawyers argued that the "extremely personal" documents about Maxwell might be used to "promote public scandal", and that the court must ensure they are not used to "gratify private spite" by banning their public release.
