Misa Hylton, a celebrity stylist who shares son Justin Combs with Sean “Diddy” Combs, on Tuesday posted clips of a recent raid on the embattled entertainment mogul’s Los Angeles home.
An Instagram video on Hylton’s page appearing to contain surveillance footage from the property shows three large vehicles arriving at the home and many armed agents pouring into the compound. One agent looks to be tampering with a camera capturing the entrance, pointing it away from the grounds and into bushes. In a hallway inside the home, Christian “King” Combs,...

As Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg moved toward an indictment of Donald Trump, two predictable camps have formed: His critics are hungry for justice for a lawless operator, and his supporters are furious at what they see as rank political persecution. But there’s a third faction: people who hate everything Trump stands for — but fear that Bragg’s case is far from the strongest option when it comes to holding the former president accountable.
That camp includes some high-powered attorneys in New York City’s vaunted legal community, including...

Before Inigo Philbrick became known as the art world’s “mini-Madoff,” he cultivated a reputation as a wunderkind gallerist. A bon vivant with boyish good looks and even better connections, Philbrick opened two of his own art galleries by his early 30s. Philbrick had enjoyed the backing of a top gallerist and the trust of seasoned collectors. He boasted a comely girlfriend and had ingratiated himself with her family.
Philbrick, as it would turn out, was a scammer. He pleaded guilty on Nov. 18, 2021 to one count of wire fraud. At the time,...

Defense attorneys for convicted drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán have filed a motion for a retrial, citing “bombshell disclosures” from a member of the jury who said that jurors routinely read news coverage of the case during the trial.
In a motion filed Tuesday morning in the Eastern District of New York, Guzmán’s lawyers requested an evidentiary hearing to investigate jury misconduct, citing an exclusive interview by Vice News in which a juror admitted that at least five jurors routinely violated their oath by seeking outside information about...

A jury has found drug kingpin Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán guilty of drug trafficking, weapons charges and money laundering, a verdict that means he will face life in prison at his sentencing. The leader of Mexico’s Sinaloa Cartel has been in American custody since early 2017.
The decision came Tuesday, February 12th, after nearly three months of testimony from a wide assortment of former associates and underlings of Guzmán, who walked jurors through more than 30 years of the drug lord’s career as a trafficker, describing smuggling routes, wars with rival cartels,...

A lawyer for accused drug kingpin Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán Loera took the floor in Brooklyn federal court one last time Thursday, delivering a fire-and-brimstone final argument accusing the prosecution’s witnesses of intentionally lying in a bid to send his client to prison for life.
In an impassioned speech that was by turns strident and comical, defense attorney Jeffrey Lichtman begged jurors to reject the case the government has painstakingly built against his client over nearly three months, doing his best to inject enough doubt into their minds to acquit Guzmán.

The trial of accused cartel boss Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán Loera inched toward the finish line Tuesday morning as the defense team rested its case after calling a single witness to testify.
In a lightning round of questioning that clocked in at less than half an hour, defense attorney Jeffrey Lichtman quizzed Paul F. Robertson Jr., an FBI special agent, about two interviews Robertson took part in with Colombian narco-trafficker brothers Jorge and Alex Cifuentes. It seemed to be a last-ditch effort to draw the jury’s attention to accusations...

Joaquín “Al Chapo” Guzmán paid a $100 million bribe to former Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, at the beginning of Peña Nieto’s term, in a bid by Guzmán to buy the protection of the then-incoming president, according to a witness who once worked closely with El Chapo.
The accusations, which implicated nearly every level of the Mexican state, came during testimony at the trial of the alleged Sinaloa Cartel kingpin, who faces a 17-count indictment for drug trafficking and associated charges that could put him away for life.

Christian Rodriguez was just 21 years old in early 2008 when he boarded a tiny private airplane on the outskirts of Culiacán, Mexico, and flew about half an hour to short, hidden airstrip in the mountainous badlands of Sinaloa.
A college dropout from Colómbia working to get his cyber-security startup off the ground, Rodriguez had caught the attention of a major potential client, the leader of an international import-export business who was hoping Rodriguez could help him set up an encrypted messaging system with which he could communicate with his workers.

Since early November, federal prosecutors have been doing their best to prove to a jury that Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán Loera is guilty of running a decades-long, multibillion-dollar conspiracy to traffick and distribute narcotics across North America.
Over the course of two months, the government has brought forward witness after witness to describe how they worked with Guzmán to bring drugs to the United States by plane, train, and automobile (along with boats, submarines, tunnels, and hidden in pepper cans). The parade of cooperating witnesses has included a confessed mass...

Update: This article has been revised to include the conclusion of the defense’s opening statements, which were presented Wednesday morning.
In a blistering half-hour monologue, a lead defense attorney for Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán accused the United States government of setting up his client as a scapegoat. For good measure, he accused the sitting president of Mexico and his predecessor of taking hundreds of millions of dollars in bribes from the man he accused of being El Chapo’s boss.

Judge Brian M. Cogan had what he called an “open rebellion” on his hands Wednesday morning when, after announcing the selection of a jury in the trial of Joaquin Archivaldo “El Chapo” Guzmán Loera, one juror broke down crying, begging to be taken off the jury.
The woman told Cogan that, two days into the selection process, her coworkers had already deduced that she was in the pool of about 100 people drawn from Brooklyn, Long Island and Staten Island as potential jurors in the case. Who else might be able to identify her?...
