Sean ‘Diddy' Combs Jury Is Stuck on Key Charge in Sex-Trafficking Case
A New York federal jury said late Tuesday afternoon it was deadlocked on a key part of Sean 'Diddy' Combs's sex-trafficking case, adding a layer of intrigue during the second day of deliberations. Jurors had sent a note saying they had reached a verdict on four of the five charges against the rap mogul, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian told the courtroom. However, the note said the jurors were at an impasse over a racketeering-conspiracy charge.

US consumer watchdog scraps $95 million 'illegal fees' settlement with Navy Federal Credit Union
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The top U.S. watchdog agency for consumer finance this week canceled a $95 million settlement reached last year with Navy Federal Credit Union, a lender officials in the prior administration had accused of illegally charging surprise overdraft fees, according to an order published Wednesday. In a separate order also published Wednesday, the CFPB likewise canceled a November action against the nonbank mortgage company Fay Servicing over alleged violations of mortgage servicing laws. The decisions were the latest moves by the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to undo cases already concluded by the agency, which President Donald Trump has sought to shrink drastically if not eliminate outright. The CFPB last month exited its corporate monitorship of Bank of America from a 2023 settlement and in May canceled a settlement with Toyota from the same year over allegations of pushing car buyers into unwanted product bundles. Representatives for both companies welcomed the news, saying they were committed to properly serving their customers. "Navy Federal complied with all applicable laws and regulations at the time and continues to do so. We firmly believe the CFPB's decision to terminate the order was appropriate," a spokesperson for the credit union said. The CFPB did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Navy Federal primarily services military service members, veterans, civilian employees of the military and their families. In an internal memo in April, CFPB Chief Legal Officer Mark Paoletta said the agency would focus its reduced resources on "pressing threats to consumers, particularly service members and their families and veterans." In November, the CFPB had ordered Navy Federal to pay $95 million, including $80 million in redress to consumers over allegations the credit union charged depositors whose accounts had sufficient funds at the time of a purchase but fell into the red by the time the charge later posted to their accounts. The CFPB also said depositors paid fees if they drew on funds received via services like PayPal and CashApp and the credit union's system incorrectly told them the funds were immediately available to spend. In an order signed Tuesday, CFPB acting Director Russell Vought said the November order was terminated, including provisions requiring redress payments to allegedly harmed consumers. However the similar order concerning Fay Servicing indicated the CFPB would distribute $3 million in redress payments specific to that case.

Texas man admits to killing missing American Airlines flight attendant: Investigators
TARRANT COUNTY, Texas (KFDX/KJTL) — A Fort Worth man has confessed to killing and dumping the body of a flight attendant near Bowie who has not been seen or heard from since March 2025, police say. After being seen on video dragging what appeared to be a lifeless body from his home, Dennis William Day, 66, allegedly admitted to strangling Rana Nofal Soluri, 47, an American Airlines flight attendant who had lived with Day for roughly the past year. According to police documents, Soluri was reported missing by a coworker on June 11 after not being able to get in touch with Soluri since March 19, when their text chain ended abruptly mid-conversation. Soluri had been on a leave of absence for a minor surgery, but was expected to return to work on March 31. She never returned. Police documents stated that on May 8, officers were dispatched to Day's residence to tow Rana's vehicle that had been parked in front of the house. They later found that the car had been purchased just one week before Rana went missing. Officers were again dispatched to Day's home on June 10, this time on a welfare check. Police found that the last time anyone was able to verify Rana was alive was on March 21. On June 23, police said they searched Day's home after he consented and found the video clip of Day dragging what appeared to be a lifeless body. Day initially denied any involvement, but then admitted that he 'snapped' after Rana was videoing him and threatened to call the police, according to police documents. Day allegedly strangled Rana on the kitchen floor, then dragged her body into the backyard, where he realized the security cameras were recording him. Then he said he disconnected the surveillance equipment, loaded her body into a trash bin and drove the body near Bowie where he dumped her over a bridge, the documents stated. While Rana's body has not been found, her cellphone did ping in the area, according to investigators. Day was arrested and charged with murder. As of the publication of this story, Day was in the Tarrant County Jail on a $200,000 bond. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
