For years, international toy sellers had a semi-secret shortcut to ship goods under $800 tariff free. That shortcut? Gone. And if you're not prepared, your business could feel it fast. As of August 29th, the De Minimis Exemption was officially eliminated for many international shipments to the U.S. The change, quietly confirmed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, caused immediate disruption. Over 25 countries (including the UK, Germany, and Japan) paused shipments to reassess compliance. Platforms like Temu and Wish began overhauling logistics, while DTC creators abroad faced surprise duties, delays, and frustrated customers.In this episode of Making It in the Toy Industry, I'm breaking down what the end of the De Minimis Exemption actually means for creators like you. This change isn't just about shipping fees and forms, it's about who wins, who loses, and how you can thrive in a newly leveled playing field.Using a mind map, I'll guide you through the four big areas impacted by this shift: the immediate chaos it's caused, what strategies and tools are suddenly more valuable, what old tricks are now holding brands back, and who's rising to the top as this new landscape takes shape.This episode is a wake-up call and a strategic roadmap, all in one.Listen for These Important Moments:[00:09:12] - Avoid tariffs and delays. Warehousing in the U.S. now gives you speed, savings, and a serious competitive edge.[00:11:53] - New customs rules are hitting Temu and Shein hard, giving legit brands room to shine and reclaim their sales.[00:21:00] - Stable SKUs and digital add-ons help offset costs and keep products flowing under new import rules.[00:25:50] - Solo sellers outside the U.S. now face bigger delays and thinner margins. Without a warehouse, you're stuck.[00:29:54] - U.S.-based creators, brands with warehousing, and fulfillment partners are leading the pack.Send The Toy Coach Fan Mail!Support the showPopular Masterclass!

Last month, 28-year-old Catalina “Xóchitl” Santiago was boarding a domestic flight when she was detained by Customs and Border Protection officers at the El Paso airport. For years, she has legally lived in the U.S. under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Despite that, she remains in ICE detention in Texas.

This Day in Legal History: Alabama Ten commandments MonumentOn August 28, 2003, the Supreme Court of Alabama removed a 5,280-pound granite monument of the Ten Commandments from the rotunda of the state courthouse in Montgomery. The monument had been installed two years earlier by Chief Justice Roy Moore, who argued it reflected the moral foundation of U.S. law. However, its religious nature sparked immediate controversy and litigation. In Glassroth v. Moore, three attorneys sued in federal court, asserting that the display violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. The U.S. District Court ruled in their favor, ordering the monument's removal.Moore refused to comply with the court's order, prompting further legal and administrative actions. The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the lower court's decision, finding the monument's placement unconstitutional. When Moore continued to defy the federal ruling, the Judicial Inquiry Commission of Alabama brought ethics charges against him. The Alabama Court of the Judiciary subsequently removed Moore from office for failing to uphold the rule of law.The case underscored the constitutional limits on religious expression by public officials and reinforced federal supremacy in matters of constitutional interpretation. It also intensified national debates over the role of religion in public life and the meaning of the Establishment Clause. Moore would later regain the position of Chief Justice in 2013, only to be suspended again for defying federal law, this time over same-sex marriage.You will, of course, also remember that Roy Moore–in addition to being a huge fan of the Ten Commandments–is plausibly accused of misconduct involving multiple women, including allegations of sexual assault by three women—two of whom were minors at the time. Leigh Corfman alleged Moore assaulted her when she was 14 and he was 32, and Beverly Young Nelson accused Moore of assaulting her when she was 16. Six additional women have described Moore as behaving inappropriately when they were between 14 and 22 years old. Moore has denied all allegations of misconduct, though he admitted to knowing some of the women and, at times, dating teenagers while in his 30s. Dating teenagers while in his 30s. No criminal charges were filed, so of course all of these are merely allegations, but the accusations were widely reported during his 2017 Senate campaign, which he lost in a historic upset in deeply Republican Alabama.As President Trump threatens to deploy National Guard troops and ICE agents to Chicago, city and state leaders are scrambling to prepare. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson are working closely to coordinate a response, despite acknowledging that their legal options are limited. The move would follow similar deployments in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C., both cities led by Black Democratic mayors. State Attorney General Kwame Raoul is crafting a legal strategy, and immigrant advocacy groups are ramping up legal training in anticipation of increased enforcement. Community leaders worry that a federal presence could disrupt efforts to build trust in high-crime neighborhoods and further strain relationships between residents and law enforcement.Trump claims the intervention is necessary to combat crime, but critics point out that shootings and homicides in Chicago have actually declined significantly this year. Despite the progress, public perceptions of danger persist, with many residents still feeling unsafe at night. Some, including Republicans and a few city residents, support Trump's plan, citing frustration with issues like homelessness and crime. Others view it as a political stunt, especially in light of recent federal cuts to violence prevention programs.Trump has also focused on Chicago's status as a sanctuary city, which has drawn national attention amid the city's efforts to house tens of thousands of migrants. The fear of federal enforcement has spread beyond undocumented immigrants to Latino citizens and residents. Legal experts suggest any unilateral deployment of the National Guard could violate the Constitution and the Posse Comitatus Act. Local protest groups are preparing for nonviolent resistance, framing the potential deployment as authoritarian overreach aimed at intimidation.In Chicago, locals prepare for Trump's possible deployment of National Guard | ReutersA federal grand jury has declined to indict Sean Dunn, a former Justice Department staffer arrested for allegedly throwing a sandwich at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection agent during President Trump's law enforcement crackdown in Washington, D.C. Prosecutors had pursued felony assault charges, citing video evidence and statements that Dunn called the agents "fascists" and yelled, “I don't want you in my city!” before hurling the sandwich. The rejection is notable given the typically low threshold required for grand jury indictments and the prosecutorial control over such proceedings.The case has become symbolic of broader tensions surrounding the Trump administration's deployment of federal agents and National Guard troops to address what it calls a crime surge in the capital—claims contradicted by police data showing a decline in violence. The grand jury's decision reflects growing prosecutorial challenges in securing high-level charges amid political pressure to appear tough on crime.Dunn, who has not entered a plea, was featured in a White House video showing his arrest, part of a broader narrative emphasizing law-and-order policies. The Justice Department has 30 days from arrest to secure an indictment and may attempt to present the case to another grand jury. A similar recent case against a woman accused of assaulting an FBI agent was also downgraded to a misdemeanor after multiple failed attempts to indict.The ham sandwich indictment jokes write themselves. Grand jury declines to indict man arrested for throwing sandwich at US agent, source says | ReutersA federal judge has extended an order blocking the deportation of Kilmar Abrego, a Salvadoran migrant at the center of a high-profile immigration case tied to President Trump's enforcement crackdown. U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis ruled that Abrego must remain in the U.S. at least through October while she considers his legal challenge against a planned deportation to Uganda—a country where he has no connections. The judge also restricted ICE from moving Abrego more than 200 miles from her courthouse in Maryland, where a final hearing is set for October 6.Abrego's case drew national attention in March when he was deported to El Salvador despite a judge's order forbidding it. U.S. officials had accused him of gang affiliations, which he denies. After being imprisoned in El Salvador, he was brought back to the U.S. in June to face charges of transporting undocumented migrants, to which he has pleaded not guilty. His attorneys argue the prosecution is retaliatory and politically motivated.Abrego had been living in Maryland with his wife and children, all of whom are U.S. citizens, before his arrest. His legal team plans to seek asylum through separate immigration proceedings and has criticized the Trump administration's handling of the case as an attempt to erode due process protections in immigration law.Judge extends block on Trump administration's efforts to deport migrant Abrego | Reuters This is a public episode.

ICE now has the biggest budget of any law enforcement agency in America.“ICE and Customs and Border Protection have long been the most rogue, kind of renegade and certainly pro-Trump police agencies in the federal government,” explained Radley Balko, a journalist who's covered policing for decades. “What I think we are seeing right now is Trump is attempting to build his own paramilitary force. They want people whose first, ultimate loyalty in this job is going to be to the president.”Balko is the author of “Rise of the Warrior Cop: The Militarization of America's Police Forces.” And he's been tracking the changes at ICE and the Trump administration's escalating law-and-order tactics on his excellent newsletter, The Watch.Mentioned:“ICE's Mind-Bogglingly Massive Blank Check” by Caitlin Dickerson“The police militarization debate is over” by Radley BalkoBook Recommendations:The Highest Law in the Land by Jessica PishkoUnruly by David MitchellBottoms Up and the Devil Laughs by Kerry HowleyThoughts?

BMO's transportation unit is a bellwether for credit and lending conditions in trucking. The bank's loan book dipped to $13.67 billion in Q3, the lowest since early 2023, and while write-offs are down, provisions for potential credit losses and gross impaired loans remain significantly higher than pre-downturn levels. Canada Post has significant labor issues, which led to its largest-ever pre-tax loss of US$294 million in Q2 2024 due to a 36.7% plummet in parcel revenue. This decline was largely driven by uncertainty from a prolonged labor dispute, pushing shippers to private carriers and highlighting the high cost of instability. On the innovation front, we cover the expanded integration between Motive and Fleetio in fleet management technology. This partnership centralizes fuel, maintenance, and telematics data for fleet operators, automating workflows and providing crucial visibility into costs that can comprise up to 75% of operating budgets. Freight rates have taken a considerable dive, with Asia-to-U.S. spot rates falling 60-70% since a July frontloading surge. This is attributed to increased vessel capacity, limitations within U.S. Customs' IT systems, and carriers actively shifting vessels to avoid new punitive port fees on Chinese-linked ships. Cross-border trade policy is changing, specifically the surging use of USMCA claims among Canadian and Mexican imports into the U.S.. This increase is prompted by new 50% tariffs on numerous products containing steel, aluminum, or copper, making compliance vital for managing costs despite administrative burdens and documentation requirements.

BrownTown talks all things immigration under Trump 2.0, June protests in Los Angeles, and how ICE ain't shit with immigration attorney and new homie Khiabett Osuna. As Trump tests the waters of his draconian federal policies, financially backed by the Big [Fucking Ugly] Bill, and using ICE as his Gestapo-like muscle, we turn our focus to community resistance in all its forms. Khiabett leans into her work in and outside of the legal field as one piece of this larger puzzle to ensure that no human is illegal on stolen land. From protestors, organizers, and healers on the front lines in Los Angeles to mutual aid and rapid-response networks in Chicago, BrownTown and Khiabett unpack our neoliberal past, technofascist present, and what will be a desperate future unless we fight back. Originally recorded July 18, 2025. GUESTKhiabett Osuna is an attorney with Kriezelman Burton & Associates, LLC. While at DePaul College of Law, Khiabett worked at a local immigration firm and was involved in the Asylum Immigration Clinic. She volunteered with the CARA Family Detention Pro Bono Project in Dilley, Texas, helping screen women and children at the South Texas Family Detention Center who had recently arrived in the United States. After law school, Khiabett was hired through the Department of Justice Honors Program as a Judicial Law Clerk, where she clerked for Immigration Judges in El Paso and Fort Worth, Texas. She then worked at immigration firms in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, assisting clients primarily in removal proceedings. In Chicago, Khiabett works at a full service immigration law firm, continuing to represent clients in removal proceedings, as well as individuals seeking family based and humanitarian relief. She is a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association, the AILA Chicago Chapter Advocacy Committee, and the Federal Bar Association. Khiabett also volunteers at her local church providing consults to community members. Mentioned in the episode:Correction: WWII ended under U.S. President Harry S.

This Day in Legal History: Organic Act Establishes the National Park ServiceOn August 25, 1916, President Woodrow Wilson signed the Organic Act, formally establishing the National Park Service (NPS) as a federal bureau within the Department of the Interior. This act marked a foundational moment in U.S. environmental and administrative law, as it created a centralized agency responsible for protecting and managing the country's growing number of national parks and monuments. Prior to this, national parks were overseen in a disjointed manner by various federal departments, often with limited resources or clear guidance. The Organic Act provided legal authority for the NPS to “conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wildlife therein,” while ensuring they remained “unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.”This statutory language introduced a lasting legal standard—the dual mandate of conservation and public enjoyment—that has guided U.S. park policy ever since. The law empowered the federal government to enforce regulations, manage visitor access, and develop infrastructure while preserving natural and cultural resources. Over time, this act laid the groundwork for the modern administrative state's role in environmental regulation. It also reflected an early recognition that public land could and should serve both ecological and civic functions.The NPS Organic Act helped inspire future legislation, including the Wilderness Act of 1964 and the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. It also fueled legal debates around resource extraction, tribal land claims, and federalism. With the stroke of Wilson's pen, the United States committed itself to a legal philosophy of stewardship, enshrining the idea that public lands are a shared national trust. This day in legal history commemorates the birth of a legal and cultural institution that continues to shape American land use and environmental governance.Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom advised Intel Corp. in securing an $8.9 billion government investment deal, which includes granting the U.S. a 10% equity stake in the chipmaker. The agreement, announced by President Trump, comes months after Skadden and eight other major law firms pledged nearly $1 billion in free legal services in coordination with the White House. These services support causes such as veterans' advocacy, fighting antisemitism, and promoting justice system fairness. The firms reportedly entered the arrangement, in part, to avoid being targeted by executive orders that had been used against competitors.Skadden's role reflects its ongoing alignment with the administration's industrial and legal policy efforts, particularly as Intel seeks revitalization. The Federal Circuit also recently ruled that the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) wrongly dismissed one of Intel's patent invalidity arguments against a competitor, bolstering Intel's broader legal position. Separately, Kirkland & Ellis, another participating firm, has been involved in U.S. trade negotiations with Japan and Korea, facilitated by Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn. The president has indicated he may rely further on these firms for legal matters related to tariffs, coal, and defense of law enforcement. Skadden's leadership emphasized internally that the firm retains full autonomy in client and case decisions.Skadden Steers Intel in Deal With Trump to Boost ChipmakerKilmar Abrego, a 30-year-old migrant whose wrongful deportation to El Salvador had made national headlines, was detained again by U.S. immigration authorities in Baltimore just days after being released from criminal custody in Tennessee. His 2019 asylum protections had barred deportation to El Salvador due to threats from gangs, but he was nonetheless removed in March in what officials later admitted was an “administrative error.” After months in a harsh Salvadoran prison, he was brought back to the U.S. in June to face criminal charges for transporting undocumented migrants, to which he has pleaded not guilty.Upon checking in with ICE in Baltimore, Abrego was arrested again and is now facing possible deportation—this time to Uganda, a country with no connection to him. U.S. officials have reportedly offered Costa Rica as a destination if he agrees to a guilty plea, but without that, Uganda remains the likely alternative, a move his legal team argues is unconstitutional and coercive. His lawyer described the tactic as the government using “Costa Rica as a carrot and Uganda as a stick.”Abrego has filed a federal lawsuit to prevent deportation without judicial review and is currently protected by a Maryland court order requiring 72-hour notice before any removal to a third country. His legal team is also seeking to dismiss the federal charges, alleging selective and retaliatory prosecution tied to his earlier challenge of the unlawful deportation. A Tennessee federal judge previously found him neither a flight risk nor a public threat, supporting his release. The case continues to spotlight the legal complexities and rights violations emerging under the Trump administration's immigration policies.Wrongly deported migrant Abrego again detained by US immigration officials | ReutersA U.S. federal judge has blocked President Donald Trump's administration from withholding federal funds from over 30 sanctuary cities and counties, including Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, and Baltimore. The ruling, issued by U.S. District Judge William Orrick, expands a previous injunction from April that protected 16 jurisdictions. These cities had challenged two executive orders signed by Trump earlier in the year, arguing they unlawfully threatened to strip funding unless local authorities cooperated with federal immigration enforcement.Sanctuary jurisdictions typically limit how much local police assist with federal civil immigration arrests. Judge Orrick ruled that the executive orders posed an unconstitutional, coercive threat by conditioning federal funding on compliance with federal immigration preferences. His new order extends protections to additional cities that recently joined the lawsuit. He emphasized that any further actions or executive orders pursuing the same goal are likewise blocked under his injunction.The Trump administration had already appealed the earlier ruling, and the White House has not commented on the latest expansion. Separately, California Governor Gavin Newsom is suing over Trump's deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles following protests related to federal immigration enforcement.Judge blocks Trump from withholding funds from Los Angeles, other sanctuary cities | ReutersA recent legal dispute between Apple and medical device maker Masimo is testing the boundaries of U.S. Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) authority in enforcing patent-related import bans. The case began when CBP seized five Apple Watches in Chicago due to an International Trade Commission (ITC) exclusion order, issued after Masimo successfully argued that Apple's blood-oxygen sensor infringed its patents. However, CBP later approved Apple's software workaround—which shifts blood-oxygen processing to a paired iPhone—without notifying Masimo, prompting the company to sue.Masimo argues CBP overstepped its enforcement role by effectively ruling on a patent dispute without an adversarial process, thereby undermining the ITC's authority. The lawsuit claims the workaround still infringes under the "doctrine of equivalents," which treats minor design changes as infringing if they achieve substantially the same result. Legal experts note that CBP is not equipped to handle complex questions of indirect or contributory infringement, which could occur when a product only violates a patent when used in combination with another device.The case raises due process concerns, especially as CBP's later ruling was issued ex parte—without Masimo's input—despite an earlier inter partes process. Legal observers see this as part of a larger structural flaw in how CBP and the ITC coordinate enforcement of exclusion orders. The ITC has acknowledged the lawsuit and may intervene, signaling that the dispute could influence broader agency practices. If successful, Masimo could seek enforcement penalties from the ITC, potentially up to $100,000 per day. This litigation follows a rare legal path similar to a 2013 Microsoft case against CBP that ended in settlement.Apple Watch Import Ban Work-Around Suit Tests Customs' IP Role This is a public episode.

How Data Gaps Are Reshaping Trade Enforcement Host: Cindy Allen Published: August 22, 2025 Length: ~20 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center In this week's episode, Cindy Allen — the Taylor Swift of Trade — takes on one of her favorite Reputation-era tracks, Dancing With Our Hands Tied, to unpack the unseen world of data flows between trade and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). From new Section 232 tariffs to the end of de minimis and the shift to consolidated entries, Cindy explains why brokers, importers, and CBP alike may feel like they're “dancing with their hands tied” as vital data disappears from the targeting system. This episode goes behind the scenes of CBP's systems — ACE, AMS, ABI, ISF, ACAS — and explains why the current rules are creating blind spots, compliance headaches, and risks for global traders.

Hosts: Lalo Solorzano & Andy Shiles Guest: Jason Weiselman, International Bond & Marine Published: August 13, 2025 Length: ~42 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center When Bonds Become Billion-Dollar News Bonds may not be glamorous, but they're the backbone of trade. In this episode, Lalo and Andy sit down with Jason Wieselman of International Bond & Marine to unpack why customs bonds are suddenly front-page news — and what every importer needs to know to keep shipments moving. With tariffs surging and de minimis rules shifting, importers are facing unprecedented bond requirements — in some cases reaching hundreds of millions or even a billion dollars. Jason explains what this means for both large and small importers, why sureties are more involved than ever, and how logistics professionals can navigate the complexity without grinding their supply chains to a halt. From errors & omissions insurance to the rise of the so-called “unicorn bond,” this conversation explores the risks, realities, and strategies every trade nerd should understand in today's environment. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why higher tariffs are driving massive increases in bond requirements How importers can forecast and calculate the right bond amount What the first billion-dollar bond means for the future of trade The role of errors & omissions and cyber insurance in compliance today  Why you shouldn't blindly accept CBP's bond letters without running the numbers Key Takeaways: Higher tariffs directly impact bond requirements, sometimes by massive amounts. Importers must calculate bond amounts carefully — don't just accept CBP's defaults. The first billion-dollar bond signals a new era of risk management in trade. Errors & omissions and cyber insurance are growing priorities for trade professionals. Sureties and brokers are becoming more like strategic advisors than silent backers.

President Trump has decided to suspend duty-free de minimis for the USA, effective 29 August.

In a recent podcast, Todd Ogasawara and Jon Westfall discussed several notable updates and new gadgets in the tech world. Google Photos is rolling out new AI-powered creative tools, including "Photo to video," which animates still pictures into short video clips, and "Remix," capable of transforming photos into various art styles like anime or 3D animations. These features will be accessible through a new "Create tab" in the Photos app. Additionally, the Blood Oxygen feature has returned to Apple Watch models (Series 9, Series 10, and Ultra 2) in the U.S. after a U.S. Customs ruling, with sensor data now processed and calculated on the paired iPhone. The conversation also touched upon a new accessory, the Spigen Snapzip (MagFit) EDC Pouch Organizer, a mini-backpack designed for MagSafe-compatible iPhones, offering versatile storage for small essentials and multiple carrying options, including a carabiner for attachment to a belt or backpack. The discussion further explored the broader implications of artificial intelligence, particularly concerning Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics. These foundational laws, which dictate that robots must not harm humans, must obey human orders (unless conflicting with the first law), and must protect their own existence (unless conflicting with the first or second law), were considered for modern AI models. The hosts noted that when asked about adhering to these laws, AI models were "uniformly against it," often citing the vagueness of the rules. One AI, ChatGPT, even provided a hypothetical analysis, estimating that enforcing these laws could significantly increase electricity consumption, ranging from a 1-10% rise for a "basic rule stack" to a dramatic 200-1000% increase for advanced "simulation world modeling". This highlights the complex ethical and practical challenges in implementing such safeguards for increasingly sophisticated AI.

Source: theconservativetreehouse.com Report: Trump Administration in Talks to Buy Stake in Intel to Produce High-Tech American Jobs  The Trump administration is reportedly in discussions to buy a stake in beleaguered chipmaker Intel to help shore up the company's delayed factory project in Ohio, according to people familiar with the plan. Bloomberg reports that in a sign of the White House's increasing willingness to intervene directly in key industries, the Trump administration is in talks with Intel about buying a stake in the struggling semiconductor giant. According to people familiar with the deliberations, the move aims to bolster Intel's planned factory hub in Ohio, which has been repeatedly delayed. The discussions follow a meeting this week between President Donald Trump and Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, whom Trump had previously accused of being “highly conflicted” due to concerns about his ties to China. The potential stake size remains unclear as plans are still fluid and could end without an agreement.

The U.S. Customs and Border Protection started using canine drug detection dogs in 1986 after a sharp rise in the number of illegal alien apprehensions and narcotics seizures. Today, these dogs continue to be recognized for helping to seize large amounts of illegal drugs being smuggled over the border each year. When these hero dogs are ready to retire, a new home needs to be found and one organization is dedicated to finding them one. Fox's Tonya J. Powers speaks with Robert Misseri, co-founder of 'Paws of War', a nonprofit charitable organization that assists military members and their pets, who shares the story of hero service dog 'Milan', the impact he had and how pairing dogs with veterans helps change lives.

1. ICE Arrests in Houston U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 214 illegal aliens in the Houston, Texas area over a six-month period. All individuals were charged or convicted of sex offenses involving minors. This number exceeds the total arrests for similar offenses in the entire previous fiscal year (211 arrests). The arrests are attributed to a multi-agency targeting initiative launched under the Trump administration, aimed at removing “the worst of the worst” criminal aliens. Notable Arrests Highlighted Jesus Coutirez (67, Mexico): Convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child; deported. George Zebra (48, Mexico): Convicted of multiple child sex offenses; deported. Manuel Antonio Castro (37, El Salvador): Convicted of sexual assault of a minor; in custody pending deportation. Jose Mesa (40, Mexico): Convicted of theft and sexual assault of a child; deported. Sergio Rolando (45, Mexico): Convicted of DWI and aggravated sexual assault of a child; deported. Agencies Involved ICE collaborated with multiple federal and local agencies including: FBI ATF DEA U.S. Customs and Border Protection U.S. Marshals Diplomatic Security Services 2. Criticism of Government Programs The latter part of the document shifts to a political critique of past Democratic administrations, particularly: The “Obama phone” program (Lifeline), which provided subsidized phones to low-income individuals. Allegations of fraud and abuse in the program, including a case where a Florida CEO was sentenced to prison and fined $128 million for defrauding the government. The piece connects this to broader claims of government waste and corruption, especially under President Obama. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
