The objective of Sovereign Green Bonds is to mobilize resources for green infrastructure as part of the government's overall market borrowings in 2022-23, he said in a written reply in the Rajya Sabha. "The framework for these bonds has been brought out. The bonds are likely to be issued from January to March 2023. The proceeds will be deployed in public sector projects which help in reducing carbon intensity of the economy," he said. Replying to another question, he said the value of the Indian rupee is market-determined. As global spillovers from geo-political tensions and aggressive monetary policy tightening across the world intensified alongside a surge in crude oil prices, the US dollar strengthened by 7.8 per cent in the financial year (till November 30), he said. While the rupee has witnessed a depreciation of 6.9 percent in the current financial year till November 30, 2022, he said, it has performed better than most Asian peer currencies, including the Chinese Renminbi (10.6 percent), Indonesian Rupiah (8.7 percent), Philippine Peso (8.5 percent), South Korean Won (8.1 percent), Taiwanese Dollar (7.3 percent) etc during the financial year.

The RBI had announced various measures in the recent period to diversify and expand the sources of forex funding to mitigate exchange rate volatility and dampen global spillovers. Replying to another question, Chaudhary said the total number of counterfeit currency notes detected in the banking system for 2021-22 stands at 2,30,971 pieces as per RBI.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Testimony in Donald Trump's Manhattan hush-money trial concluded Tuesday.</li><li>The parties then argued over how the judge would instruct the jury on the law.</li></ul>Lawyers in the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-manhattan-not-testify-criminal-hush-money-trial-2024-5">Donald Trump hush-money trial</a> spent Tuesday afternoon in a spirited battle over this question: What will the judge tell jurors right before they begin their deliberations next week?The prosecution and defense fought for three hours over this, the so-called "jury charge," splitting hairs over what language <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-hush-money-judge-rips-into-witness-robert-costello-2024-5">New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan</a> would use to instruct the seven-man, five-woman jury on the law.The level of skill and fervor in these arguments was no surprise.The jury charge is so important, so sacrosanct, that Merchan is set to order that the doors to his courtroom are sealed for its duration, with no one in the well or audience allowed to enter or leave.He's then expected to tell <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trumps-jurors-hardly-look-at-him-trial-experts-good-sign-2024-4">jurors</a> something like this: "Under our law, a person is guilty of falsifying business records in the first degree when, with intent to defraud that includes an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof, that person makes or causes a false entry in the business records of an enterprise."<div type="image" title="The standard jury charge for falsifying business records in the first degree, saying: &quot;The (specify) count is Falsifying Business Records in the First Degree. Under our law, a person is guilty of falsifying business records in the first degree when, with intent to defraud that includes an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof, that person: Select appropriate alternative: makes or causes a false entry in the business records of an enterprise.&quot;" height="718" width="1086" msid="110346487" hostid="261"></div>These are the opening paragraphs to the New York state court system's jury-charge guidelines for falsifying business records in the first degree.It's the basic starting template for any New York judge who needs to charge a jury on what's known in legal shorthand as <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-risks-zero-to-4-years-jail-ny-hush-money-2023-1">first-degree falsifying</a>.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-hush-money-trial-falsified-documents-heart-case-2024-5">Trump has been charged with 34 counts</a> of this one felony. That's the entirety of his indictment. There's one count for each of 34 invoices, checks, and Trump Organization ledger entries — all of the records that prosecutors allege Trump "caused" to be falsified throughout 2017, his first year in office.Prosecutors for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg allege that each falsified invoice, check, and ledger entry counts as a felony because it concealed an underlying crime. (They say the underlying crime is a violation of state election law — more about that in a bit.)How does the prosecution allege they were falsified?Bragg says each of the 34 records disguised the true nature of a year's worth of payments to Trump's "fixer"-turned-foe, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/michael-cohen-trump-acquittal-better-financially-2024-5#:~:text=Michael%20Cohen%20testified%20that%20he,he%20might%20run%20for%20Congress.">Michael Cohen</a>, by making them look like monthly legal retainer fees.In reality, Bragg alleges, Trump wasn't paying Cohen a monthly retainer at all — he was instead concealing an illegal conspiracy to influence the 2016 election.Prosecutors allege that rather than compensating Cohen for legal work — Cohen testified he did only a few hours of work for Trump in all of 2017 — the payments secretly reimbursed Cohen in monthly installments for a campaign-law-violating $130,000 hush-money payment to the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/stormy-daniels-donald-trump-witness-stand-hush-money-trial-2024-5">porn star Stormy Daniels</a>.<div type="image" title="michael cohen donald trump stormy daniels" height="1000" width="2000" msid="110346488" hostid="261"></div><h2 id="11b0abf8-9800-4f15-ac78-53bf5ee11458">How do they decide?</h2>OK, it's a little tricky.Let's say business records were indeed falsified to hide hush money. That's the coverup of a coverup. And let's say that the hush-money payment — which silenced Daniels just 11 days before the 2016 election — was itself illegal. That's a crime within a crime.Still, it's not terribly tricky, right?Trump faces 34 counts of only a single charge, first-degree falsifying, for which the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24679490-ny-v-trump-standard-jury-charge-falsifying-business-records-1">standard charging language</a> barely fills two pages.And for each count, the jury must consider just two things: whether Trump caused the record to be falsified and whether he did so to hide his intent to commit "another crime."If prosecutors meet their burden to prove both tiers — falsification and intent to conceal another crime — beyond a reasonable doubt, then Trump is guilty. If they don't, then Trump is not guilty.Prosecutors don't even have to prove that "another crime" was actually committed. They just have to prove that Trump intended to commit another crime and then falsified records to hide his tracks.The jury charge for this single felony should be easy, right? Clear-cut and beyond dispute? Wrong.Yes, first-degree falsifying is the only law in Trump's indictment.But it's not the only law jurors must understand and weigh when they begin deliberations as early as Wednesday.Prosecutors allege that Trump falsified the hush-money reimbursements in order to conceal his intent to commit an obscure New York election-conspiracy law.This is what they mean by Trump's "intent to commit another crime." Under the prosecution theory, this other crime is breaking <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-hush-money-case-relies-never-used-election-conspiracy-law-2024-4">election law section 17-152</a>, which makes it a misdemeanor to conspire to influence an election "by unlawful means."<div type="image" title="Section 17-152 of the New York state election law, saying: Conspiracy to promote or prevent an election. Any two or more persons who conspire to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means and which conspiracy is acted upon by one or more of the parties thereto, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor." height="1438" width="2500" msid="110346489" hostid="261"></div><h2 id="9b1bcaff-9b45-454a-9a2f-bd8330e8e51e">A crime within a crime within a crime</h2>So you see, to win a conviction, prosecutors must demonstrate three layers of unlawfulness involving at least three separate laws.They're alleging Trump committed a crime (under the Federal Elections Campaign Act) within a crime (under the state election-conspiracy law) within a crime (under the first-degree falsifying charge he's actually indicted on).It's a Russian nesting doll of wrongdoing, though only the outermost doll, first-degree falsifying, needs to be proved beyond a reasonable doubt.Prosecutors also plan to give jurors two alternatives to the FECA violation, the innermost of the three nesting dolls.These alternatives are a violation of federal, state, and/or city tax laws (alleging that Cohen's hush-money reimbursements were unlawfully disguised as taxable income) and yet another records-falsification violation (alleging that Trump was responsible for bogus hush-money paperwork at the National Enquirer).That means three layers of wrongdoing under a half-dozen potentially applicable laws, all with their own wording and definitions, much of which had to be argued over on Tuesday.What is a "conspiracy"? What is "intent"? What is "accessorial liability"? Do those definitions differ, law to law?And then there were broader, more-arcane questions, including this one:Must jurors agree unanimously on the "unlawful means" at the center of the case?Meaning, must all 12 jurors agree that, in causing Cohen to pay the hush money, Trump conspired to violate FECA campaign-contribution limits? Or can some jurors find that Trump conspired to violate tax law, while other jurors see the falsification of National Enquirer business records as the central offense?In other words, do jurors need to be unanimous in deciding which of the three options, if any, is the central unlawfulness?That brings us back to Tuesday's charge conference and why the sides fought for three hours as the defendant and many in the audience <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-nap-trial-affect-jury-legal-experts-2024-5">struggled to stay awake</a>."This is, obviously, an extraordinarily important case," the defense lawyer Emil Bove told the judge, in arguing that jurors be instructed that they must unanimously decide on an underlying wrongdoing."The most critical point here is that the jury does not need to conclude unanimously what the specific unlawful means are," Matthew Colangelo, a prosecutor, argued back Tuesday, referring to "well-established New York law.""So I think the key point here for this instruction," Colangelo added, "is to advise the jury that, yes, there has to be some unlawful means, and to alert them as to what those unlawful means are, but also advise them that they don't have to unanimously agree on each of the unlawful means.""We think your honor has some discretion," countered Bove.Merchan was not swayed. "I think I understand what you're saying, what you mean when you're saying it's an important case," Merchan told Trump's lawyer. "What you're asking me to do is change the law, and I'm not going to do that."<div type="image" title="A close-up of Donald Trump looking into the camera in a courtroom." height="2263" width="3394" msid="110346490" hostid="261"></div><h2 id="bb55326f-400b-42e5-8cc2-2f84fac9f381">Charging the jury is a tedious task</h2>Tuesday's debate was granular stuff.In general, Bove pushed for longer, more complex definitions of such terms as "contribution" and "unlawful means." This was in the apparent hope that the narrower the definitions, the less likely jurors would find that Trump's actions fell within their bounds.Prosecutors, meanwhile, fought to keep the charge as simple as possible."As we discussed, we think the jury needs less, not more, on FECA instructions," Colangelo, the prosecutor, argued at one point on Tuesday."And we think the term 'for the purpose of influencing an election' is a pretty straightforward term that jurors can understand," Colangelo added.In awarding the most "wins" to prosecutors, Merchan chose brevity over expansiveness."Some of the issues are confusing enough, I think," the judge said Tuesday. "We want to make it as easy as possible for the jury."Merchan told prosecutors and Trump's lawyers that he'd give them the final draft of his instructions on Thursday.He told jurors to expect his charge to last "at least an hour."

Latest Trump hush-money battle: how to instruct jurors on the coverup of a coverup and crimes within crimes

<ul class="summary-list"><li>The job market is flashing signs the US is still headed for a hard-landing, Danielle DiMartino Booth says.</li><li>The forecaster pointed to workers rolling off unemployment benefits, while part-time jobs have soared.</li></ul>Developments in the labor market show that the US economy isn't on solid footing, according to Danielle DiMartino Booth.The veteran forecaster and QI Research founder pointed to continued signs of weakness in the US job market, zooming in on a few key areas that are flashing signs of trouble. Booth said that more workers who once qualified for unemployment insurance are now rolling off of their benefits. Workers in most states have 26 weeks of paid unemployment benefits, but according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 21% of workers are now taking more than 27 weeks to find a new job, up 3% from last year.The average unemployment duration in the US climbed to 21 weeks in September, government data shows.The second factor is the number of part-time workers in the US, which has climbed to an all-time high and suggests that the hiring picture isn't as strong as may appear. The number of employees that <a target="_blank" href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS12600000">usually work part-time climbed to 28.2 million</a> in August, the highest number since the government began recording the data in the 1960s, BLS data shows."We're not seeing these people pour into the unemployment claims pool," Booth said in a recent interview with <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.cnbc.com/video/2024/09/23/the-market-is-in-for-a-rude-awakening-about-the-u-s-gdp-print-danielle-dimartino-booth.html">CNBC</a>, attributing many of the part-time jobs to the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-make-money-gig-worker-uber-lyft-doordash-delivery-driver-2023-12">gig economy</a>, as <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/gig-economy-overemployment-quit-job-increase-income-earnings-side-hustle-2024-3">out-of-work Americans</a> may turn to platforms like Uber or other services in order to keep money coming in. "Much different economy than we saw in 2007, 2008, because the gig economy has exploded in that period," she added.Weakness in the job market could later translate into consumer weakness, one of the economy's chief concerns, Booth predicted. Fed economists already have their eye on weaker consumer spending, with consumption falling or remaining flat in most Fed Districts, according to the central bank's latest <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/files/BeigeBook_20240904.pdf">Beige Book</a>.Lower consumption already appears to be having an effect on key industries. The manufacturing sector contracted for 21 out of the last 22 months, according to the Institute of Supply Management, while inventory grew. The housing market, where activity has been suppressed over the last two years, also saw existing home sales drop another 2.5% in August, per the National Association of Realtors.Investors could see more signs of economic weakening with next quarter's GDP figures, Booth said, which are set to roll out at the end of the week.The economy is expected to have grown nearly 3% last quarter, matching the pace in the second quarter of 2024, according to the latest <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.atlantafed.org/cqer/research/gdpnow">Atlanta Fed GDPNow</a> reading. But GDP figures could be later revised down, Booth noted, pointing to a recent revision that showed the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/economy-added-818000-fewer-jobs-ed-yardeni-says-dont-worry-2024-8">economy added nearly a million fewer jobs</a> than expected in the year leading up to March 2024.Booth has been warning of a recession for months despite most of Wall Street warming up to the prospect of a soft landing. Previously, she made the case that the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/us-recession-outlook-job-market-cuts-labor-unemployment-hard-landing-2024-5">US economy was already in a recession</a> despite continuing to grow in 2023 and 2024, pointing to continued weakness in the job market.

We instead asked a few of Merchan's former colleagues on New York City's criminal trial bench, the closest thing to the horse's — or judge's — mouth.Will Merchan sentence Donald Trump to jail? To prison? What would they have done as judges had Trump's case been theirs?Four former New York City judges, all reputed to be as tough or tougher than Merchan, shared their answers.All four said a prison sentence — AKA "state time," meaning a sentence of more than one year in an upstate New York prison — is inappropriate.Merchan will not sentence Trump to prison, the four agreed."He's certainly not going to give him state time — state time is really a lot," said Michael Obus, who was Merchan's supervising judge in Manhattan from 2009 to 2017."The prosecution has gotten its pound of flesh just by getting its conviction," agreed Barry Kamins, a former Brooklyn-based state supreme court justice and ex-administrative judge for the city criminal courts."We all know who Trump is and what he does," said Charles Solomon, a Manhattan-based state supreme court justice for 33 years before his retirement in 2017."But you don't want to give him such a draconian sentence that he becomes a martyr," Solomon said."Trump would be re-elected in a landslide if they put him for one day in jail," he added. "Plus, this guy doesn't belong in jail for what he did. Let's face it, enough is enough already."<div type="image" title="Rikers Island" height="2353" width="3500" msid="110819499" hostid="261" sizebytes="992614"></div><h2 id="3b9a6b8a-13ff-4672-808c-80957af850db">What about Rikers?</h2>Three out of the four former judges who spoke to BI go even further, predicting that Merchan won't give Trump a jail sentence either, meaning no "city time" — a term of less than one year in New York's <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/photos-harrowing-scenes-inside-rikers-island-jail-new-york-2022-10">notorious Rikers Island</a>.Merchan could theoretically sentence Trump to as little as a single day in Rikers, said Kamins, now in private practice at <a target="_blank" href="https://aidalalaw.com/new-york-attorneys-barry-kamins/">Aidala, Bertuna &amp; Kamins.</a>A 30-day sentence, to be served at Rikers on 15 consecutive weekends, is a more reasonable low-jail option in Merchan's toolbox, noted Solomon.But Trump shouldn't expect even this sort of short, symbolic jail sentence, said Kamins, Solomon, and a third former Manhattan judge who asked not to be named due to an ongoing connection to the courts."This is not a case where jail should even be considered," said that former judge, one of the few Republicans on the Manhattan bench in recent decades.In sentencing, both aggravating and mitigating factors are weighed, this judge noted."You have to consider the impact that a sentence will have on others," the former judge said."And in this case that means the impact the sentence will have on the entire nation. A national election is hanging in the balance," where any time spent in jail keeps Trump off the campaign trail, the former judge said."If this gets reversed" on appeal, they added, "the damage will already be done, and this judge cannot be oblivious to that."<div type="image" title="This image shows former New York Supreme Court Justice Michael Obus on the bench in Manhattan in 2011." height="1932" width="2500" msid="110819488" hostid="261" sizebytes="204640"></div><h2 id="cb79be14-c435-42f8-813e-e7cc57b84421">Appeals would delay jail for years</h2>Only one judge — Obus, the former Manhattan administrative judge — declined to rule out jail altogether, calling it a possibility, though a slight one.What might tip the scales in favor of jail? Trump's motive.Prosecutors can be expected to argue at sentencing, as they did in opening statements and closing arguments, that Trump falsified business records as part of a 2016 election-interference scheme with the National Enquirer.The supermarket tabloid ran fake stories attacking Trump's political opponents — including one doozy that accused Ted Cruz of keeping "five mistresses" — while buying and burying salacious stories that hurt Trump, trial evidence showed."This scheme, cooked up by these men at this time, could very well be what got President Trump elected," prosecutor Joshua Steinglass told jurors in closing arguments.Merchan will weigh this attempt to influence the 2016 presidential election during sentencing, Obus noted."One possibility is some kind of split sentence, say, six months of jail with a concurrent sentence of five years probation," said Obus, a member of the new statewide commission on prosecutorial conduct.But even in the unlikely event of a low-jail sentence, Trump's appeals would keep him at liberty for years, all four judges said."I've kept a client out as long as six years, pursuing appeals," said veteran Manhattan defense lawyer Ron Kuby."No one is going to incarcerate a former president of the United States until his appeals are exhausted," said Kuby."You cannot plausibly argue that Donald Trump is a risk of flight," Kuby added. "Now, you may wish that he flee," he joked. "But he is not a flight risk."Merchan has the power to immediately stay any incarceratory sentence himself, Obus noted.<div type="image" title="donald trump papers court" height="2000" width="3000" msid="110819494" hostid="261" sizebytes="969522"></div><h2 id="b8029dfe-7d8e-415b-93a1-8bbb1f2a6978">Probation, community service, and a fine are far more likely</h2>Short of jail, Trump can be fined up to $5,000 for each of the 34 records-falsification counts he was found guilty of, Obus said.Merchan can also order community service, to be monitored by the judge himself or through the city probation department."If you're older or handicapped, they won't send you out into the parks to pick up garbage," Solomon said. "They'll have you licking envelopes somewhere," he said."Maybe in Trump's case, they'll have him lecture somewhere about how you should not commit crimes," he added. "He could go to Harvard Business School and lecture about the importance of not falsifying business records."A term of three or five years probation would not be surprising, the former judges said."It's basically nothing," Solomon said. "You have to meet with your probation officer initially, and then you have to go to a kiosk every now and then, and log in, to make sure you're OK and still around."Trump can easily have his probation transferred to Florida — or Washington, DC. — the judges also noted."If you go by the statistics for people sentenced for this kind of crime, the most common sentence is probation," said Kamins."Judge Merchan, we know, takes white-collar crime very seriously, and he may choose probation — which is the most serious non-jail punishment — only because of his feelings on white-collar crime," Kamins added.<div type="image" title="A court sketch shows defense lawyer Susan Necheles questioning Stormy Daniels as Donald Trump and Judge Juan Merchan look on." height="1875" width="2500" msid="110819491" hostid="261" sizebytes="791434"></div><h2 id="0604f7ca-0b4a-4ce7-8c26-512d76cd58f8">Merchan should say less, not more</h2>It's a historic moment, the first sentencing of a former president. But given what will be an aggressively-fought appeal, Merchan may want to keep his comments brief, and focused on the conviction alone, the former judges said.Merchan has already punished Trump's ten acts of contempt of court — his gag order violations — by imposing a total $10,000 in fines. Dwelling on these violations as he explains his sentence to Trump could give the defense a basis for challenging the punishment as vindictive and repetitive, the former judges said.But Trump's history of civil fraud and sex-abuse judgments is fair game for Merchan to mention at sentencing, they said.Rehashing Trump's spoken and online attacks on the judge, the judge's family, and the criminal justice system is also fair game."He looks like an angel, but he's really a devil," Trump said of Merchan during a press conference just one day after his verdict.But less is more, the former judges said, especially if Merchan wants to limit Trump's ability to appeal the sentence by claiming it was based on the judge's personal and political animus."You can go down the list, as a judge, and say he doesn't pay the people he hires, he doesn't do this, he doesn't do that," Solomon said of Merchan's sentencing statement."But if you start making a list of how bad he is, and then you give him a light sentence, you look like an idiot," he said."Most of the time, the less you say the better," Solomon added. "You speak a couple of sentences. You say, 'I have weighed the facts of the case, and I think the appropriate sentence under the law is as follows.'"<div type="image" title="Donald Trump in court" height="1403" width="2104" msid="110819500" hostid="261" sizebytes="168236"></div>Ultimately, the judges said, Merchan will give it a good deal of thought, and then do what he sees is best."I certainly don't know what the right decision is, or what Judge Merchan will do," Obus told BI."I just know that he is thoughtful, and wise, and fair.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson seemed alarmed about Trump's ask for sweeping immunity for presidents.</li><li>Jackson wanted to know how future presidents would be disincentivized to commit crimes. </li></ul>Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was animated on Thursday when she discussed the potential of what could happen to the presidency if the Supreme Court were to grant presidents the sweeping immunity former President<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/supreme-court-trump-immunity-case-january-6-2024-4"> Donald Trump</a> is seeking."The most powerful person in the world with the greatest amount of authority could go into office knowing there would be no potential penalty for committing crimes," Jackson said during oral arguments. "I'm trying to understand what the disincentive is from turning the Oval Office into, you know, the seat of criminal activity in this country."Trump's lawyer, John Sauer, argued for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/supreme-court-trump-presidential-immunity-jan-6-criminal-case-2024-4">sweeping absolute immunity </a>for former presidents that would shield Trump from special counsel Jack Smith's prosecution related to efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. As multiple justices outlined during oral arguments, the issues in the case could have major implications for the future of the presidency.Jackson appeared alarmed that some of her colleagues, especially some of the court's conservatives, seemed more afraid of limiting presidential immunity the court would neuter by the presidency by forcing future leaders to question if a political rival would try to prosecute them after they left office. Instead, Jackson said there should be at least equal consideration given to the possibility that by granting sweeping immunity, the nation's highest court would give a green light to presidential criminality if a future president could even tangentially tie criminal actions to carrying out the job of leading the nation."Presidents from the beginning of time have understood that that's a possibility," Jackson said later of how past leaders understood they could be prosecuted after leaving office. "That might be what has kept this office from turning into the kind of crime center that I'm envisioning."Jackson repeatedly underlined her points when questioning Sauer, underlining how far future presidents could push the envelope. She seemed particularly drawn to a brief filed by Georgetown Law School professor Martin Lederman that outlined how presidents with immunity could commit perjury, destroy or conceal documents, or bribe other public officials. Jackson's concerns are based on another element of Trump's arguments, which propose that a president could not be charged with a crime unless the law they are accused of violating specifically mentions that it applies to the presidency. The court's newest justice has considered Trump's conduct and the power of the presidency before. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ketanji-brown-jackson-notable-decisions-trump-supreme-court-biden-2022-1">As a Circuit Court judge</a>, Jackson torched the Trump White House for arguing that former White House counsel Don McGahn didn't have to cooperate with Congress' investigation."Stated simply, the primary takeaway from the past 250 years of recorded American history is that Presidents are not kings," Jackson wrote in 2019. "Rather, in this land of liberty, it is indisputable that current and former employees of the White House work for the People of the United States, and that they take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

"We would reach the same conclusion even if Department of Justice policy did not foreclose criminal charges against a sitting president"The report also <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/biden-forgot-timing-vice-presidency-beau-death-special-counsel-report-2024-2">noted</a> that Biden's age and apparently memory issues played a factor in the decision not to recommend charges. In January 2023, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/complete-timeline-biden-classified-documents-second-batches-2023-1">months after</a> the Department of Justice began its investigation into whether former President Donald Trump broke the law by retaining classified documents after leaving office, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Hur to launch a separate, similar investigation into Biden after documents were found in the president's garage and non-White House office space.A federal grand jury in Florida ultimately indicted Trump in June 2023, charging him with 37 felony counts and alleging he made false statements to investigators and mishandled documents.As the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/06/us/politics/biden-documents-special-counsel-report.html">New York Times noted,</a> a key distinction between the two presidents' cases appears to be in their willingness to comply with investigators.In Trump's case, he reportedly pushed back against the National Archives and Records Administration's inquiries into missing classified documents, ultimately never returning the entirety of the requested material, leading to the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mar-a-lago-raid-what-we-know-search-trump-home-2022-8">FBI raiding</a> his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida.Biden's team, however, proactively reached out to NARA after discovering classified documents in an office of his away from the Capitol and have reportedly cooperated with the federal investigation.Though neither the Democratic nor Republican Party has finished its primary season just yet, Biden and Trump are each massively leading the pack in their respective party's presidential primary race.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>September was another month in the "<keyword id="12122646" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="great-resignation" source="Orion">Great Resignation</keyword>" as the US quit rate hit a high of 3.0% - with 4.4 million leaving their jobs.</li><li>Restaurant and entertainment workers in particular are quitting at high rates - more than double the national average. </li></ul>Coronavirus is likely still driving some Americans to quit their jobs, especially in industries that involve lots of close interactions with other people. This includes the job positions that make up leisure and hospitality.Americans continued to leave jobs in September. Overall, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/great-resignation-4-million-americans-quit-jobs-in-september-2021-11">4.4 million Americans quit</a> that month, and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/jolts-job-openings-september-report-quits-hiring-labor-market-data-2021-11">job openings</a> dropped to 10.4 million. Daniel Zhao, senior economist at Glassdoor, told Insider that "normally job openings and <keyword id="12265857" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="quits" source="Orion">quits</keyword> move together.""The fact that quits increased in September, to me, indicates that we're seeing some Delta-induced quits," Zhao said. "And what I mean by that is workers in COVID-sensitive sectors like leisure and hospitality are quitting because Delta quite simply makes working conditions worse for those frontline service workers."Leisure and hospitality's quit rate was at a series high of 6.4% in September, up by 0.3 percentage points from the previous month and more than double the national rate of 3.0%. Accommodation and food services, a subset of leisure and hospitality, didn't see a change in its rate from August to September, staying at a series high of 6.6% as some people in <keyword id="11916214" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="restaurants" source="Orion">restaurants</keyword> and hospitality seek out better-paying positions.Arts, entertainment, and recreation - also a subset of leisure and hospitality - climbed from 3.2% to 5.7%. "The recent surge in quits in arts, entertainment and recreation looks to be part of a catch up as the reopenings for concert venues and sporting arenas have been slower," Nick Bunker, economic research director for North America at Indeed Hiring Lab, told Insider in an email. Elise Gould, senior economist at the Economic Policy Institute, said it's "stunning" that from August to September, this sector nearly doubled in quit rate, although she cautioned that part of it may be statistical noise that may be revised in the coming months.Other COVID-sensitive industries saw increased quits in September, such as <a href="https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/JTS6000QUR">education and health services</a>. This industry saw an increase of 54,000 quits. The following chart highlights various quit rates in September by industry:The millions of Americans quitting across industries in part is because people are thinking about what they want out of their job."I certainly think that the pandemic has led many people to reevaluate their work and their priorities and what they want to do," Gould said. For leisure and hospitality workers in particular who make that third choice, she said workers may be thinking it's "been really rough being in restaurants and hospitality during the pandemic" and thinking they need to find "something else that may be more fulfilling, that may meet their needs, that may pose less of a health risk for them."It may be hard to find some workers to join leisure and hospitality or to call back ones that left, though. According to one survey by <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/great-resignation-labor-shortage-workers-thinking-about-quitting-joblist-report-2021-10">Joblist</a>, two reasons former hospitality workers said they would not go back were the low pay and because they wanted a new career path. Food businesses and others have been listing sign-on bonuses in job applications as one way to attract new workers, while others have started increasing pay."That's a reflection of the fact that employers are also recognizing that it's going to be difficult to hire for the foreseeable future," Zhao said. "They are switching more towards permanent pay increases because they perceive a long-term structural challenge to hiring. "In addition to better pay, Gould said employers need to give better trainings and benefits to not only attract but retain workers. Some good news, Gould said, is that with the increase in <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/october-jobs-report-531000-payrolls-unemployment-rate-falls-labor-market-2021-11">employment</a> in October, we may see an increase in hiring in next month's <keyword id="12054383" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="jolts" source="Orion">JOLTS</keyword> figures, for the month of October."As we saw with the jobs report that they were about half-a-million payroll jobs added, but that's a positive sign that the <keyword id="11893570" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="economy" source="Orion">economy</keyword> is moving in the right direction," Gould said. "And I expect that to get reflected in the next JOLTS report."

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Rep. Jim Jordan held a Manhattan hearing criticizing its 'soft-on-real-crime' DA.</li><li>The House Judiciary Committee hearing was met with pushback about crime in red states like Jordan's.</li></ul>GOP Rep. Jim Jordan came to lower Manhattan on Monday to criticize what he called District Attorney Alvin Bragg's "soft-on-crime approach to the real criminals," but ended up facing hard-to-ignore facts about his own state's record on violent crime. Jordan, who chairs the House Judiciary Committee, conducted what protesters called the "sham" committee hearing after Bragg — who is Manhattan's first Black district attorney — became the first prosecutor to bring charges against Trump, a move that <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/house-gop-plots-payback-against-biden-bragg-after-trump-arraignment-2023-4">has sparked GOP outrage</a>."Here in Manhattan, the scales of justice are weighed down by politics," Jordan said in his opening statement for a House Judiciary Committee hearing that focused on a crime surge that New York and other major cities suffered in 2022, Bragg's first year as DA."Rather than enforcing the law, the DA is using his office to do the bidding of left-wing campaign funders," said Jordan, the committee's chair.Democrats repeatedly tried to interrupt the hearing with some inconvenient truths: crime stats that show that New York City is actually among the safest big cities in the country and major crime that is far higher in red states than in blue ones.At one point, a Democratic committee member even stopped the hearing to demand the hearing be adjourned to higher-crime Ohio, Jordan's home state.Ohio's homicide rate (8.7 deaths for every 100,000 residents) is 73% higher than Manhattan's (5.0 deaths per 100,000 residents), according to <a href="https://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/us-elections-government/ny-ohio-murder-rates-jim-jordan-house-judiciary-committee-hearing-republicans-20230417-wiy5lzm7izfqfblo4z3fss5rr4-story.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an analysis published by the New York Daily News</a> on Monday."Mr. Chairman? Parliamentary inquiry?" Rhode Island Rep. David Cicilline shouted, after anti-gun expert Jim Kessler concluded a recitation of statistics showing higher crime in red states."In light of the testimony we just heard," Cicilline asked Jordan about 90 minutes into the hearing,"what is the mechanism for the committee to transfer this hearing to Ohio, where the crime rate is significantly greater?"There was a brief back-and-forth over whether Cicilline's request was a motion or a parliamentary inquiry."I'm asking how do we move the venue so we can have a hearing in a city or state that has a serious crime problem? The state of Ohio?" Cicilline persisted.Jordan then told Cicilline that his time had expired and that his ruling cannot be appealed. Sparks also flew just outside the hearing door, where protesters shouted, "The hearing is a sham!" and "Let the public in!" as Federal Protective Service officers held them back and ushered them toward an elevator bank.Jordan and other Republicans didn't mention Trump by name on Monday. But Jordan in particular echoed the former president in condemnation of Bragg for his "radical political agenda" in the face of rising crime. Jordan's statistics focused on 2o22, when crime rose in cities around the country, although murders declined that year in New York. New York, however, is now witnessing a dip in major crime, <a href="https://www.factcheck.org/2023/04/the-facts-on-manhattan-crime/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as recently noted by FactCheck.org.</a> Murders, robberies, rape and shooting incidents are all down in the city for the first three months of this year.<a href="https://twitter.com/ManhattanDA/status/1647984952942764032" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NYPD stats show</a> that the first three months of 2023 have seen a decline in Manhattan crime compared with the first three months of last year.Homicides are down 9%, shootings are down 14%, robbery is down 10%, burglary is down 23%, and transit crime is down 11.5%, Bragg tweeted Monday, citing NYPD numbers.Last month, Kessler's center-left think tank, Third Way, published a report, <a href="https://www.thirdway.org/report/the-red-state-murder-problem" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"The Red State Murder Problem,"</a> showing that in 2020, per capita murder rates were 40% higher in states won by Trump than those won by President Joe Biden.In a counterpoint statement at Monday's hearing, Rep. Jerrold Nadler — a Manhattan Democrat and Jordan's predecessor as Judiciary chair — mentioned Trump repeatedly, along with that downtick in his district's crime.He accused Jordan of "playing tourist in New York" and pretending to care about crime while "doing nothing, nothing, to stop the gun violence that terrorizes our nation.""Let me be very clear," Nadler began. "We are here in lower Manhattan for one reason, and one reason only. The chairman is doing the bidding of Donald Trump," Nadler said.Bragg, too, has fought back against GOP criticism, particularly the Judiciary Committee's efforts to investigate and slow his prosecution of Trump. Just two days after Trump was indicted, <a href="https://judiciary.house.gov/media/press-releases/chairman-jordan-subpoenas-former-new-york-county-district-attorney-official" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jordan subpoenaed Mark Pomerantz</a> — the former Manhattan prosecutor who led the Trump investigation under Bragg's predecessor — to appear before the committee for a deposition. Pomerantz wrote a book criticizing Bragg for failing to prosecute Trump more aggressively.<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/manhattan-da-lawsuit-jim-jordan-house-judiciary-committee-mark-pomerantz-2023-4">Bragg responded by suing Jordan and the House Judiciary Committee;</a> his lawsuit seeks to block the subpoena and to stop Jordan's investigation."They are using their public offices and the resources of this committee to protect their political patron, Donald Trump," Nadler said of the GOP-led committee on Monday."You can pretend you are not here on Donald Trump's behalf," Nadler added. "But you cannot stop the New York criminal justice system from running its course and you will not intimidate New Yorkers with your brief visit to this city."

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Most House Democrats voted to uphold DC's criminal code revisions to support the District's right to self governance.</li><li>Now Republicans are using their votes and President Joe Biden's position on the legislation against them.</li></ul>For some House Democrats, voting to uphold the DC criminal code had nothing to do with their positions on crime.The issue was the District's ability to self-govern, said Rep. Steven Horsford, chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus. That's why he was among 173 Democrats who opposed a GOP-led House measure last month to overturn the District's controversial crime law revisions. "The District of Columbia residents and their local leaders should have the ability to make those decisions," Horsford, of Nevada, told Insider. "Do I agree with 100 percent of their decisions? It's not mine to say. It's theirs."Rep. Jahana Hayes of Connecticut also told Insider the problem for her was, "Congress intervening and overturning a local vote."But now Republicans have weaponized their votes and President Joe Biden's position on the legislation against them. Only 31 Democrats supported the measure, which passed with 250 votes.Ahead of expected Senate passage on Wednesday, the House Republicans' campaign arm released<a href="https://www.nrcc.org/2023/03/08/nrcc-launches-digital-ad-campaign-targeting-15-house-democrats-for-supporting-reduced-penalties-for-violent-crime/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> digital ads </a>against Horsford, Hayes and 13 other Democrats, saying they "voted for reduced sentences for violent crimes." The attack was expected and is likely just the beginning after <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/democrats-vent-over-biden-position-on-dc-crime-law-2023-3">Biden said last week that he wouldn't</a> veto the measure.House Democrats are furious that Biden left them hanging, especially after his administration put out a <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/SAP-H.J.-Res.-24-and-H.J.-Res.-26_PDF.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement opposing</a> the GOP measure. "I think that the communication could have been better from down the street at Pennsylvania [Avenue]," said House Democratic Caucus Chairman Pete Aguilar during a news conference Wednesday. "I've said that I was disappointed. That holds true. But our record on public safety is incredibly strong."Horsford also said he doesn't care about the Republican attacks. But when asked about the Senate vote, he said he wished the Democratic-led Senate "would do its job" and prioritize legislation that protects Medicare, Social Security and voting rights."It's amazing how they have time for this issue, but they haven't made voting rights the issue and the priority that it should be," Horsford said.The DC Council overrode a mayoral veto of their controversial revision of DC's criminal code to become law in January. But Congress has constitutional oversight of DC and can block the law because it is not a state.Biden tweeted that he opposed some of the changes, such as lower penalties for carjackings. The new code, among other changes, would reduce the penalties for armed carjackings from a sentence between 15 and 40 years to a maximum sentence between 12 and 24 years, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/03/07/what-is-dc-criminal-code-bill/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Washington Post reported.</a>"So crazy even President Biden won't support the anarchy," the National Republican Congressional Committee ads say. "What's next? Defund the police?"Hayes told Insider that she would have appreciated better communication from the White House on their position and she made that point to them."Even if we disagree on issues we should all…on the front end just kind of know where everyone lands on these things," she said. "We have a very open line of communication, which is why I was a little taken aback by that."The Congressional Progressive Caucus has endorsed DC statehood and would not have supported the GOP legislation, even if the White House had not issued its statement opposing it, CPC Chair Pramila Jayapal told reporters."However, I think our people feel very frustrated because it feels like a betrayal of the fundamental principle of DC rule," she said.Jayapal noted the leadership transitions among House Democrats and in the Biden administration, and said the caucus hasn't yet developed a relationship with Biden's new chief of staff, Jeff Zients, but is working on it."And so I think it will take a little bit of time for us all to get back on the same page," she told reporters. "I just think it's important for the administration to kind of see us as partners, and be talking constantly with our leadership, and be clear."
