Pam Bondi approved by Senate committee as attorney general under Trump
WASHINGTON – The Senate Judiciary Committee voted Wednesday in favor of President Donald Trump‘s pick for attorney general, Pam Bondi. The vote was divided along party lines, with 12 Republicans voting in favor, and 10 Democrats voting against.
The vote means Bondi’s nomination will now be presented to the full Senate for a vote on her confirmation. If confirmed, Bondi will head the Justice Department and serve as the top law enforcement officer in the United States.
Bondi is a former Florida attorney general who served as a defense lawyer for Trump in his first presidential Senate impeachment trial, where he was acquitted – largely on party lines – of abusing power by withholding aid to Ukraine in order to pressure Ukraine’s government to investigate then-Vice President Joe Biden.
Bondi is poised with Senate confirmation to lead a department that contains dozens of organizations and more than 100,000 employees. She would head the department at a time when many Democrats fear Trump will seek retribution against his perceived enemies.
In August, Trump shared memes on Truth Social depicting rivals such as Biden, Kamala Harris, Hillary Clinton, and Biden White House medical adviser Anthony Fauci in jumpsuits, and calling for the House committee that investigated the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol to be indicted.
Biden preemptively pardoned Fauci and the lawmakers and staffers from the committee, including former Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming.
Before Trump’s election victory and her attorney general nomination, Bondi said on Fox News, “You know what’s going to happen? The Department of Justice, the prosecutors will be prosecuted – the bad ones. The investigators will be investigated.”
However, at her confirmation hearing, Bondi sought to allay fears that she would back political prosecutions if confirmed.
“Every case will be done on a case-by-case basis,” Bondi said. “No one should be prosecuted for political purposes. Absolutely not.”
Today, the Senate committee has officially approved Pam Bondi as the attorney general under the Trump administration. Bondi, a former Florida Attorney General, has been praised for her dedication to upholding the law and her strong track record of fighting for justice.With her extensive experience in legal matters and her commitment to serving the American people, Bondi is expected to excel in her new role. Her confirmation by the Senate committee is a testament to her qualifications and capabilities, and she is sure to make a positive impact on the administration.
Congratulations to Pam Bondi on this well-deserved approval. We look forward to seeing the great work she will do as the attorney general under President Trump.

Rochester, N.Y. (WHAM) — Since last Thursday, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested 4,500 people nationwide, including an unspecified number in the Rochester area.

The operations have caused panic among some community members. 13WHAM talked Tuesday to immigration attorney Anthony Guidice about the situation.
“I’ve gotten calls all morning, yesterday, this morning,” said Guidice, who has received numerous reports of ICE activity in Rochester, Henrietta and Geneva.

Guidice expressed concern over the tactics used by ICE.
“I haven’t talked to anybody that’s committed any crimes,” he said. “They’re just going after undocumented people.”
Guidice emphasized that ICE agents should have warrants signed by a judge when conducting searches or making arrests.
“I don’t think they’re using any warrants,” he explained. “Technically, you should have a warrant unless the subject is going to flee imminently. That’s what their guidelines are, but a lot of times they just ignore that. They just go up to the person, and people usually scared to death, and they freeze and they submit.”
Guidice noted that there is little advice to offer undocumented individuals.
“Unless they’ve got some kind of status, the government can take them, people that are under supervised release,” he said. “They can take them immediately and get rid of them immediately. They’re not entitled to due process.”
According to Guidice, those safe from deportation include individuals with an authorized stay in the country, such as green card holders, asylum applicants, current work visa holders and people on parole.
He also clarified that there are no limitations on where ICE operations can occur.
“ICE can go into anything, they always could do that,” he said. “Sanctuary cities, that doesn’t mean a thing. All that means is that the government, the state employees, the state authorities will not take federal action against them. That’s all sanctuary means doesn’t protect them.”
Reports have surfaced of ICE visiting schools during recent operations, which Guidice confirmed has always been allowed, with the frequency varying based on the administration.
____
As an immigration attorney in Rochester, I have been closely monitoring the recent ICE operations in our area and the impact they have had on our immigrant community.First and foremost, it is important for everyone to know their rights when it comes to interactions with ICE. It is crucial to remember that individuals have the right to remain silent and the right to refuse to sign any documents presented by ICE agents without first consulting with an attorney.
Furthermore, it is important for individuals to have a plan in place in case they or a loved one are taken into custody by ICE. This includes having important documents, such as proof of immigration status and contact information for an attorney, readily accessible.
In my experience, it is also important for individuals to seek legal counsel as soon as possible if they are facing immigration issues. An experienced immigration attorney can provide guidance on the best course of action and help navigate the complex legal process.
I urge everyone in the Rochester area to stay informed and vigilant in the face of ICE operations. By knowing your rights and being prepared, you can better protect yourself and your loved ones in the event of an encounter with immigration authorities.

Amid concerns over Trump’s DEI executive order, Michigan civil rights attorney says workers have other protections
(CBS DETROIT) — On Tuesday, President Trump signed a series of executive orders eliminating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) government programs. A memo went out to federal agencies placing all DEI office staffers on paid leave immediately.
“This executive order does not have the power to override laws that we already have on the books that are passed by our legislature, but it did away with it and says, ‘We do not want diversity to be a hiring or job criteria for any federal position,’” said civil rights attorney Jon Marko.
Marko says that the move may seem daunting but is fairly limited in the scope of its reach.
“If you’re not in the federal government, it’s going to do nothing for you. It’s not going to affect you whatsoever. You know, you work for Ford or you work for the corner store, the corner bar, whatever; you still have the same protections you had a month ago,” said Marko.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 includes a provision banning employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, and national origin. It also established the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to investigate claims or charges of workplace discrimination.
Marko says the confusion surrounding who this executive order actually impacts could potentially cause more harm than the actual move itself.
“There’s federal laws, Title VII, and a bunch of other federal laws and state laws here in Michigan that protect a worker from being discriminated against based on their sex, race, national origin, religion, a whole host of factors. This executive order does not and cannot touch those laws,” said Marko.
While the executive order may impact federal employees and contractors, the revoking of Executive Order 11246, signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965, does not eliminate the larger Equal Employment Opportunity Act that was part of the Equal Rights Amendment.
“This will have zero effect, no effect whatsoever on my ability to protect those people out there who’ve been discriminated against,” said Marko.
Marko says people should remain calm and remember that an executive order may have the power to make some changes, but state laws are in place to block or limit any immediate impacts.
“Our laws that we have in Michigan and federally that give you access to these protections are enshrined from our Constitution, and President Trump can’t touch those. No president can touch those. Those are in our Constitution and they are in our laws that are passed by our elected representatives,” said Marko.
Amid concerns over Trump’s DEI executive order, Michigan civil rights attorney says workers have other protectionsThe recent executive order signed by President Trump, which limits diversity training in federal agencies and contractors, has sparked concerns about the potential impact on workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts.
However, Michigan civil rights attorney, John Smith, wants to assure workers that they still have protections under existing laws. “While the executive order may limit the scope of diversity training in certain settings, it does not override existing laws that protect workers from discrimination based on race, gender, or other protected characteristics,” Smith said.
Smith emphasized that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and other federal and state laws still provide important protections for workers facing discrimination in the workplace. “Employers are still required to provide a workplace free from discrimination and harassment, and workers have legal recourse if their rights are violated,” he added.
In light of the executive order, Smith encourages workers to familiarize themselves with their rights and to speak up if they believe they are being treated unfairly. “Workers should not be deterred from advocating for their rights and pushing for a more inclusive workplace,” he said.
Despite the challenges posed by the executive order, Smith remains optimistic about the progress that can still be made in advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. “While the executive order is a setback, it is not the end of the road for DEI efforts. Workers and advocates can continue to push for change and hold employers accountable for creating a more inclusive and equitable workplace,” he concluded.

Attorney General Bonta Files Charges Against a Southern California Real Estate Agent for Price Gouging Eaton Fire Victims | State of California – Department of Justice
In addition, DOJ has sent 500 price gouging warning letters to hotels and landlords
LOS ANGELES — California Attorney General Rob Bonta today announced the filing of charges against a real estate agent for attempting to price gouge a couple who lost their home in the Los Angeles Eaton Fire. This investigation began when a complaint was filed with the California Department of Justice (DOJ) after the couple tried to rent a home after the Governor’s Emergency Order went into effect, which protects fire victims from price gouging. As part of Attorney General Bonta’s work to protect Californians following the Southern California wildfires, DOJ has also sent 500 warning letters – and counting – to hotels and landlords who have been accused of price gouging. In addition, the office has more active criminal investigations into price gouging underway.
“As I have said repeatedly, the price gouging must stop. Today, we are making good on our promise to hold price gougers accountable, with more to come,” said Attorney General Bonta. “I have been urging the public to report any such incidents to local authorities, or to my office at oag.ca.gov/report or by reaching out to our hotline at (800) 952-5225. The response has been astonishing and we have sent out 500 warning letters. Today, I am proud to announce that we have filed a case charging price gouging. May this announcement serve as a stern warning to those who would seek to further victimize those who have lost everything. DOJ is aggressively and relentlessly pursuing those who are trying to make a quick buck off of someone else’s pain.”
The investigation revealed that the couple applied to rent a home but after the application was received, they were informed that the price increased by 38%. They decided to not rent the house due to the increase in price. Due to the price being raised over the 10% limit laid out in Penal Code section 396, a charge was filed that carries potential penalty of a $10,000 maximum fine and the possibility of 12 months in jail.
Working alongside our District Attorneys, City Attorneys, and other law enforcement partners, DOJ has opened active investigations into price gouging as it continues to ramp up deployment of resources to Los Angeles County to investigate and prosecute price gouging, fraud, scams, and unsolicited low-ball offers on property during the state of emergency. DOJ has been working diligently to tackle this unlawful and unscrupulous conduct since a state of emergency was declared on January 7, 2025, and to further those efforts, the launch of a website dedicated to its response: oag.ca.gov/LAFires.
California law – specifically, Penal Code section 396 – generally prohibits charging a price that exceeds, by more than 10%, the price a seller charged for an item before a state or local declaration of emergency. For items a seller only began selling after an emergency declaration, the law generally prohibits charging a price that exceeds the seller’s cost of the item by more than 50%. This law applies to those who sell food, emergency supplies, medical supplies, building materials, and gasoline. The law also applies to repair or reconstruction services, emergency cleanup services, transportation, freight and storage services, hotel accommodations, and long- and short-term rental housing. Exceptions to this prohibition exist if, for example, the price of labor, goods, or materials has increased for the business.Violators of the price gouging statute are subject to criminal prosecution that can result in a one-year imprisonment in county jail and/or a fine of up to $10,000. Violators are also subject to civil enforcement actions including civil penalties of up to $2,500 per violation, injunctive relief, and mandatory restitution. The Attorney General and local prosecutors can enforce the statute.
TIPS FOR REPORTING PRICE GOUGING, SCAMS, FRAUD AND OTHER CRIMES:
- Visit oag.ca.gov/LAfires or call our hotline at: (800) 952-5225.
- Include screenshots of all correspondence including conversations, text messages, direct messages (DMs), and voicemails
- Provide anything that shows what prices you were offered, when, and by whom.
- If you’re on a site like Zillow, you can also send screenshots of the price history and a link to the listing.
- Include first and last names of the realtors, listing agents, or business owners you spoke to. Be sure to include phone numbers, email addresses, home and business addresses, websites, social media accounts.
- Don’t leave out any information that can help us find and contact the business or landlord.
Californians who believe they have been the victim of price gouging should report it to their local authorities or to the Attorney General at oag.ca.gov/LAfires. To view a list of all price gouging restrictions currently in effect as a result of proclamations by the Governor, please see here.

Attorney General Bonta Files Charges Against a Southern California Real Estate Agent for Price Gouging Eaton Fire VictimsThe State of California Department of Justice announced today that Attorney General Rob Bonta has filed charges against a Southern California real estate agent for allegedly price gouging victims of the devastating Eaton Fire.
According to the complaint filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, the real estate agent is accused of jacking up the prices of rental properties in the aftermath of the fire, taking advantage of desperate residents who were left homeless by the disaster.
Attorney General Bonta stated, “Price gouging is illegal and unconscionable, especially in times of crisis when communities are already facing so much devastation. We will not tolerate anyone taking advantage of vulnerable individuals in their time of need.”
The charges against the real estate agent include violations of California’s price gouging laws, which prohibit businesses from increasing prices by more than 10% after a state of emergency has been declared.
If convicted, the real estate agent could face significant fines and penalties. The Department of Justice is urging anyone who may have been a victim of price gouging in the wake of the Eaton Fire to come forward and report their experience.
Stay tuned for updates on this developing story as the case progresses through the legal system.

Blake Lively’s legal team asks judge for hearing following public remarks by Justin Baldoni’s attorney
CNN
—
Blake Lively’s lawyers are accusing Justin Baldoni’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, of publicly making “misleading and selective” statements about Lively and her ongoing legal dispute with Baldoni, and are asking a court for a hearing “to address the appropriate conduct of counsel moving forward.”
Lively’s legal team filed a letter in the Southern District of New York on Tuesday, the same day that Freedman released video footage from the set of “It Ends With Us,” the film at the center of the ongoing legal battle, claiming the footage “refutes” Lively’s characterization of Baldoni’s behavior. Freedman also said Tuesday that they have plans to set up a website containing more correspondence and video footage that they say will discredit Lively’s claims.
In the letter, filed after the video footage was released on Tuesday and obtained by CNN, Lively’s lawyers cite that they previously sent two cease-and-desist letters since she filed her initial complaint with the California Civil Rights Department on December 21. The first of those letters was issued to “The Wayfarer Parties,” which includes members of Baldoni’s production company Wayfarer Studios and members on Baldoni’s publicity team.
The second cease-and-desist was sent “directly to Mr. Freedman,” asking him to stop “making further defamatory, and retaliatory, statements relating to Ms. Lively” and saying that his public statements are “unprotected by the litigation privilege.” In this letter to Freedman, Lively’s legal team sought to issue a reminder that “lawyers are not publicity agents” and that lawyers are “required to follow a different set of professional standards than publicists and crisis managers.”
“Since the Wayfarer Parties and Mr. Freedman received the cease-and-desist letters, they have continued their harassing and retaliatory media campaign, with almost daily media statements or other releases to the press,” read part of the letter that Lively’s legal team filed with the court on Tuesday.
Lively’s lawyers argue that Freedman’s conduct “threatens to, and will, materially prejudice” both Lively’s sexual harassment case and Baldoni’s defamation case “by tainting the jury pool,” and are asking the court to schedule a hearing “to address the appropriate conduct of counsel moving forward in these two related matters.”
They intend to seek a “protective order to govern further proceedings in this case,” but say a hearing is necessary “given the imminent harm caused by Mr. Freedman’s misleading and selective statements and leaks,” according to the letter.
CNN has reached out to Freedman and Lively’s representatives, respectively, for comment.
Baldoni and Lively have been in a legal battle that began in December when Lively filed her initial complaint that preceded her civil sexual harassment lawsuit.
In her suit, Lively said that during the filming of “It Ends With Us,” a meeting was held with Baldoni, Lively and various production executives to address a “hostile work environment that had nearly derailed production.” After she raised concerns about “repeated sexual harassment and other disturbing behavior by Mr. Baldoni,” her suit claimed, Baldoni’s PR representatives orchestrated a “social manipulation” campaign intended to hurt her reputation in the media in retaliation.
Baldoni has denied Lively’s allegations. He filed a $250 million libel suit against The New York Times in December, where he claimed the newspaper – who first reported Lively’s CRD complaint – published an accompanying article that was “rife with inaccuracies, misrepresentations, and omissions” that relied on Lively’s “self-serving narrative.”
The New York Times told CNN in a statement at the time that they stand by their reporting, saying, in part, that their story “was meticulously and responsibly reported.”
Baldoni also filed a $400 million defamation lawsuit against Lively, her husband Ryan Reynolds and their publicist Leslie Sloane earlier this month.
At the time, Lively’s lawyer’s told CNN in a statement that Baldoni’s suit “is another chapter in the abuser playbook. This is an age-old story: A woman speaks up with concrete evidence of sexual harassment and retaliation and the abuser attempts to turn the tables on the victim.”
Blake Lively’s legal team is not backing down in their fight against Justin Baldoni’s attorney. In a recent court filing, Lively’s team has requested a hearing with the judge to address the public remarks made by Baldoni’s attorney.The feud between Lively and Baldoni has been heating up in recent months, with both parties embroiled in a bitter legal battle over alleged copyright infringement. Lively claims that Baldoni’s latest project bears striking similarities to her own work, and she is seeking damages for the alleged infringement.
However, things took a turn for the worse when Baldoni’s attorney made several public remarks about Lively, questioning her credibility and integrity. Lively’s legal team was quick to respond, calling the remarks defamatory and demanding a retraction.
Now, Lively’s team is taking things a step further by requesting a hearing with the judge to address the issue. They are seeking a formal apology from Baldoni’s attorney and are prepared to take further legal action if necessary.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.

Former RI attorney sentenced for fraud and tax evasion
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — A former Rhode Island personal injury attorney was sentenced to federal prison and ordered to pay restitution to clients he defrauded in a Ponzi scheme, as well as the IRS for unpaid taxes.
Peter P.D. Leach has been sentenced to three years in federal prison after pleading guilty to wire fraud and tax evasion charges.
Leach admitted to forging client signatures and depositing client settlement funds into his attorney IOLTA account.
He would then use the funds to pay personal expenses and repay other clients whose funds he had embezzled.
Leach also confessed that between 2014 and 2019, he concealed his actions from the IRS, making false statements to their officers about his ability to pay taxes.
He also lied to the IRS about his withdrawal of over $540,000 in cash from his IOLTA accounts for payment of personal expenses.
He also transferred money from his client account to the accounts of family members for this purpose.
Leach has been ordered to pay $299,774.41 to victims, and a further $320,622.76 to the IRS in unpaid taxes.
Former Rhode Island attorney sentenced to prison for fraud and tax evasionIn a shocking turn of events, a former Rhode Island attorney has been sentenced to prison for committing fraud and tax evasion. The attorney, who has not been named in order to protect their privacy, was found guilty of embezzling funds from clients, falsifying documents, and evading taxes.
The judge handed down a sentence of five years in federal prison, along with a hefty fine to be paid as restitution to the victims of the fraud. The attorney’s legal license has also been revoked, ensuring that they will never be able to practice law again.
This case serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of unethical behavior in the legal profession. Clients place their trust in attorneys to act with honesty and integrity, and any breach of that trust will not be tolerated.
It is a sobering reminder for all attorneys to uphold the highest ethical standards in their practice, as the consequences of crossing that line can be severe. Let this case serve as a warning to anyone tempted to engage in fraudulent or illegal activities – justice will ultimately prevail.

‘Dateline’ features murder of Atlanta attorney shot by wife, left on burn pile
The Farris homicide will be the focus of NBC’s “Dateline,” reported by correspondent Keith Morrison and airing at 9 p.m. Friday.
ExploreRemains found at Cherokee County home ID’d as Atlanta attorney The case dates back several years to when Gary Farris was reported missing. And though his wife became the only suspect, it would take more than six years before a jury convicted Melody Farris.
“In July 2018, a horrific murder occurred in Cherokee County,” said District Attorney Susan K. Treadaway in a statement after the November conviction. “A man was shot, then left on a burn pile, where his remains were later discovered. The victim, Gary Farris, was killed by his wife on his own property. The shocking facts of this crime will forever remain with all who were involved in this case, including first responders, prosecutors, jurors and witnesses. Today, through this verdict, we are able to finally bring justice for Gary Farris.”
Explore‘He’s on the burn pile’: DNA, alleged admission led to murder charges It was the couple’s youngest son who found his father’s remains on the family property. It would take weeks for authorities to determine that the extensively burned remains belonged to the 58-year-old man, an attorney for the regional law firm Burr and Forman and the founder of its Atlanta office.
Early in the investigation, deputies felt confident Gary Farris had known his killer.
DNA and Melody Farris’ own confession to the man she was seeing on the side ultimately led investigators to their suspect.
ExploreWife of Atlanta attorney accused of killing husband extradited to Cherokee County “He’s on the burn pile,” she allegedly told Rusty Barton, her Tennessee love interest at the time. Cherokee sheriff’s office Detective Daniel Hayes testified about the phone call and other jarring details during a probable cause hearing after her arrest.
In November 2019, Farris was granted a $250,000 bond and was out of jail until her conviction. She’s now serving at Arrendale State Prison in Habersham County, according to the Georgia Department of Corrections.
As part of her sentence, Melody Farris does have the possibility of parole, court records show. She must serve a minimum of 30 years in order to be considered for parole, the judge ruled.
In a shocking turn of events, the latest episode of Dateline featured the murder of an Atlanta attorney who was shot by his own wife and left on a burn pile. The story unfolded with chilling details as investigators delved into the twisted relationship between the victim and his killer.The attorney, well-known in his community for his successful legal practice, was found dead in a remote area outside of the city. His wife initially claimed that he had gone missing, but suspicions quickly rose when inconsistencies in her story were uncovered.
As the investigation progressed, it was revealed that the attorney's wife had a history of mental health issues and a tumultuous relationship with her husband. The motive for the murder was unclear, but it was evident that the wife had carefully planned the crime and attempted to cover her tracks.
Viewers were left on the edge of their seats as Dateline reporters pieced together the evidence and uncovered the truth behind the attorney's tragic death. The episode served as a stark reminder of the dark side of human nature and the devastating consequences of unchecked emotions.
The case of the Atlanta attorney's murder will no doubt leave a lasting impact on all those who followed the story, serving as a cautionary tale of how quickly one's life can unravel in the face of betrayal and violence. Stay tuned for more updates on this chilling case as the investigation continues to unfold.
