(26 Jul 2021) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: 4336994
The chair of former President Donald Trump's 2017 inaugural committee has pleaded not guilty to criminal charges in a New York courtroom days after he was freed on $250 million bail.
Tom Barrack appeared in Brooklyn federal court Monday to face charges that he secretly worked as an agent for the United Arab Emirates to influence Trump's foreign policy.
Prosecutors say he used his multi-decade friendship with Trump to influence policy when Trump was a candidate in 2016 and after he was sworn in as president the following year. Federal authorities say he broke the law by failing to disclose his ties to the U.S. government.

STORYLINE:
Supporters of Pakistan’s former Prime Minister Imran Khan celebrated in Lahore on Saturday after he was granted broad protection from arrest in multiple legal cases against him.
The ruling at a high court in Islamabad struck a blow to the government in a stand-off that has sparked days of rioting by Khan's followers and raised the spectre of widespread unrest in the country.
After the court granted him bail, Khan spent hours more in the building, as he and his legal team were locked in apparent negotiations over his exit from the site.
As he headed to his home in the eastern city of Lahore, Khan put out a video statement from his vehicle saying the Islamabad police tried to keep him within the courthouse through different tactics, and authorities allowed him to travel only when he threatened to tell the public he was being held there against his will.
Security was extremely tight around the court ahead of Khan’s departure as authorities expressed concerns for the former leader’s safety.
In the evening, shots were heard in the area of the courthouse.
Police were investigating who opened fire, the interior minister said.
Clashes between his supporters and police have periodically erupted outside the building.
The long list of around 100 court cases, on charges ranging from fomenting violence to corruption, still stands against Khan.
But the week’s turmoil illustrated the danger of moving against him.
After he was abruptly arrested on Tuesday, wide scale protests erupted, turning into clashes with police and mob attacks on government buildings and even military installations.
The court's ruling was a victory for Khan, and averted any new arrest for the time being.
The Islamabad High Court gave him protection for two weeks on one graft charge and protection until Monday on a host of other charges in a measure called “anticipatory bail.”
The protections in each case can be extended, but it was not immediately clear if that meant a new court hearing on Monday.
The charismatic 70-year-old Khan, a former cricket star turned Islamist politician, has a broad base of support around Pakistan, presenting himself as an outsider victimised by the military and the political dynasties that have long run Pakistan.
Opponents, meanwhile, call him a corrupt demagogue stirring his followers into violence.

Islamabad, Pakistan - 12 May 2023
1. Various of Pakistan's former Prime Minister Imran Khan coming out of courtroom with tight security, lawyers, media around
STORYLINE:
A high court in Islamabad has granted former Prime Minister Imran Khan a two-week reprieve from arrest in a graft case and granted him bail on the charge.
Babar Awan, a lawyer for Khan, says the court made the decision on Friday, a day after the country’s Supreme Court asked it for a ruling.
He says Khan is now “a free man,” and that the decision was just.
The ruling came after Khan returned to court to hear whether he will be shielded from renewed arrest or taken back into custody — a decision that put the government and legions of Khan supporters on edge after days of violent confrontations.
The government has vowed it will find a way to take Khan back into custody, a move that would likely cause a resurgence of riots and mob attacks.
The government contends that Khan’s release rewards and encourages mob violence.
After he was arrested Tuesday, his supporters attacked military installations, burned vehicles, and ambulances and looted general stores in various parts of the country.
The government responded with a crackdown, arresting nearly 3,000 people.
The violence left at least 10 Khan supporters dead. Dozens of protesters and more than 200 police officers were injured.

STORYLINE:
Florida school shooter Nikolas Cruz will be sentenced to life without parole for the 2018 murder of 17 people at Parkland's Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, after the jury said Thursday that it could not unanimously agree that he should be executed.
The jury's recommendation came after seven hours of deliberations over two days, ending a three-month trial that included graphic videos, photos and testimony from the massacre and its aftermath, heart-wrenching testimony from victims' family members and a tour of the still blood-spattered building.
Under Florida law, a death sentence requires a unanimous vote on at least one count.
Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer will formally issue the sentence later.
Cruz, his hair unkempt, largely sat hunched over and stared at the table as the jury's recommendations were read.
Rumblings grew from the family section — packed with about three dozen parents, spouses and other relatives of the victims — as life sentences were announced.
Many shook their heads, looked angry or covered their eyes.
Cruz, 24, pleaded guilty a year ago to murdering 14 students and three staff members and wounding 17 others on Feb. 14, 2018.
