Fox News: Department of Justice opens criminal investigation into NY AG Letitia James
The Department of Justice has initiated a criminal investigation into New York Attorney General Letitia James, following a grand jury's subpoenas related to allegations of misrepresenting her primary residence in Virginia and the number of livable units in a Brooklyn property to secure better loan terms. The probe stems from a criminal referral by former Trump administration official William Pulte.
James' attorney, Abbe Lowell, claims the allegations are politically motivated and asserts that James had no intention of using the Virginia home as her primary residence. He argues that the claims are baseless and points to documentation supporting James' position.

Breitbart: Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins: U.S.-UK Trade Deal 'Puts Our Great American Agricultural Producers First!'

Breitbart: Breitbart Business Digest: Trump's Tax Cuts Will Not Cause a Surge in the Trade Deficit
The argument that tax cuts lead to higher interest rates and subsequently a stronger dollar, widening the trade deficit, is not substantiated. Instead, global demand for dollar-denominated assets primarily influences the dollar's value, impacting U.S. exports and imports.
Moreover, tax cuts do not necessarily drive spending on foreign goods, as most consumer spending in the U.S. is on services, which are largely non-imported. Thus, the anticipated connection between tax cuts and trade deficits is flawed, suggesting that the relationship between budget and trade deficits is complex and often counterintuitive.
