On this final episode of Ropes & Gray's Non‑Financial Misconduct Miniseries, Amanda Raad, co-leader of the firm's crisis management and global risk practices, and Katie Daniels, director of ethics, compliance, and insights at R&G Insights Lab sit down with Jamie Browne, managing director at Leonid Group, a leading talent advisory firm specializing in corporate governance hiring. The trio share a candid conversation about how toxic workplace culture is now one of the biggest forces shaping hiring and retention, posing a very real attrition and reputational risk—as well as a financial risk due in part to the significant costs of re-hiring. Together, they unpack why culture has become a make‑or‑break factor for candidates, what companies are getting wrong, and the practical steps leaders should be taking to ensure hiring best practice, ongoing diligence and stronger post-hire monitoring.

With questions around ethics and standards back in the news, and both Mandelson and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor facing Misconduct in Public Office investigations, what does the government need to do to tackle standards in public life and can the PM show his government really is different from the last?   Plus: Postponed local elections are now un-postponed and need to be held in just over three months' time. Just how did the government end up taking such a chaotic approach?    Presented by Alex Thomas Featuring Hannah White, Tim Durrant, Rebecca McKee, Matthew Fright Learn more about your ad choices.

The episode kicks off with a jarring headline: Former UK Prince Andrew has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, a rare and historic development for the British monarchy. Authorities say the arrest is connected to allegations that he shared confidential government information during his time as a UK trade envoy, uncovered through newly released Epstein‑related files—an event so unprecedented that King Charles publicly expressed “deepest concern” as police raided multiple properties tied to Andrew. From global scandal to entertainment chaos, the conversation shifts to Ray J, whose alarming Valentine's Day performance—where apparent blood dripped from his eyes as he wore a chest monitor—left fans stunned. This incident followed his recent revelation that his heart is functioning at just 25%, requiring multiple medications and possible surgical intervention. The drama continues as Stefon Diggs attempts to spin the block with Cardi B, following their widely publicized breakup before and after the Super Bowl. Though insiders say Diggs has sent pricey gifts and made overtures, Cardi publicly confirmed the split onstage, defending him from outside criticism while emphasizing that despite not “f‑‑king with [her] baby daddy,” she won’t tolerate disrespect toward him. Their breakup followed social‑media unfollows, legal troubles on Diggs’ side, and Cardi’s renewed focus on touring after welcoming their child last year. The show wraps with political sparks as Donald Trump publicly gushes over Nicki Minaj at the White House’s Black History Month reception, calling her “beautiful,” praising her “long nails,” and celebrating her as someone who “gets it”—all while Minaj continues posting AI‑generated images of herself and Trump and affirming she is his “No. 1 fan,” deepening an unexpected political alliance that has become a lightning rod online.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office in what may be one of the most extraordinary moments in modern royal history. Police vehicles were seen at Wood Farm on the Sandringham estate as Thames Valley Police confirmed the arrest of a man in his 60s from Norfolk, with searches under way in Berkshire and Norfolk. BBC News reports Andrew remains in custody.The arrest follows renewed scrutiny over millions of documents linked to Jeffrey Epstein and focuses on allegations that confidential, potentially market-sensitive government information may have been shared during Andrew's tenure as the UK's trade envoy between 2001 and 2011. He has consistently denied wrongdoing, and no charges have been brought.With the National Crime Agency now involved and commentators noting the unprecedented optics of the King's brother in police custody, constitutional questions are resurfacing. The charge of misconduct in public office carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, though an arrest is not evidence of guilt. As Prime Minister Keir Starmer says “nobody is above the law,” the monarchy faces one of its most serious crises in decades.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

Our democracy has been hijacked by an elite pedophile ring–one that has always been operating in plain sight. This week, Andrea and Russian mafia expert Olga Lautman dig into the horror show of the recently released Epstein files. As students of Soviet history, we know the truth: what we know is horrific, but what has yet to be revealed is much worse. Did Epstein, Trump, and their friends kill for pleasure–how many of their victims were murdered or died by suicide? Who wrote Epstein an email about a torture video? Is that person in power, wielding influence over our lives? We also examine Epstein's freelance intelligence work, showing how he collected kompromat to consolidate power through elite capture, pollinating corruption through the transnational crime syndicate, especially the autocratic regimes of Russia and Israel.  We lift up the voices of the survivors and their advocates who demand the full release of the Epstein Files. Despite a bipartisan Congressional act, only an estimated half of the six million files have been released. Convicted felon Donald Trump's former personal defense attorney, Todd Blanche, is the Deputy Attorney General, helping lead the cover-up. The only silver lining in this extreme darkness is that the truth is finally coming to light, and American society, especially the media who glamorized Epstein, are no longer able to ignore it.  For our bonus episode this week, we answer your questions about the Epstein files, rising autocracy, and more.

As the nation absorbed the shock of Alex Pretti's killing in Minneapolis, the state of Minnesota argued in federal court that the Trump administration was violating the 10th Amendment with Operation Metro Surge. Asha and Renato discuss how the federalism argument can be a check on the Trump administration, which appears to be using 3,000 ICE and Border Patrol agents to intimidate Minnesota officials into doing what it wants. Plus, Renato and Asha analyze ICE's contention that its agents can use administrative “warrants” to enter a person's home to conduct a search and arrest, possibly violating the 4th Amendment.

Feb. 2, 2026- The Hochul administration is being sued for its handling of secured facilities serving New Yorkers ages 12 to 21. Kate Wood, an attorney with the Legal Aid Society, explains the failings of the state Office of the Children & Family Services.

AP's Lisa Dwyer reports that a complaint against a judge that went up against the Trump administration over deportation orders has been dismissed.

Ghislaine Maxwell complained of guard misconduct by portraying herself as a victim of mistreatment inside federal custody, repeatedly alleging that guards were improperly watching her, disrupting her sleep, and violating her privacy. She claimed that routine checks amounted to harassment, arguing that guards were deliberately making noise, shining lights, and observing her in ways she said were unnecessary and punitive. Her legal team framed these complaints as evidence of a hostile detention environment, suggesting that the Bureau of Prisons was failing to respect her dignity and rights. The thrust of her argument was that standard suicide-watch style monitoring, implemented in the shadow of Jeffrey Epstein's death, crossed the line into abuse. What Maxwell cast as misconduct, however, closely mirrored the very safeguards the BOP put in place precisely because of her proximity to one of the most notorious custodial failures in modern history.The complaints landed poorly in the court of public opinion, given the gravity of the crimes she was accused of facilitating. Critics noted the stark contrast between Maxwell's grievances about personal discomfort and the years of exploitation suffered by Epstein's victims, whose privacy and bodily autonomy were systematically stripped away. Her allegations against guards read less like a serious civil rights claim and more like an attempt to reframe herself as persecuted rather than protected from self-harm. Judges and prosecutors largely treated her complaints as secondary to the overwhelming security concerns surrounding her detention. In the end, Maxwell's focus on guard behavior underscored a recurring pattern in her defense strategy: deflecting attention from her role in Epstein's operation by recasting herself as the one being wronged by the system.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

In this episode of Murder in the Black, we unpack the heartbreaking story of Kim Groves—a Black woman, community advocate, and mother whose decision to report police misconduct in 1994 set off a chain of events that would change everything.What began as one woman speaking up against abuse of power quickly revealed something much bigger: a deeply corrupted system inside the New Orleans Police Department, and a city already battling violence, fear, and broken trust.Kim's story forces us to confront the cost of courage, the danger Black communities face when they challenge authority, and the uncomfortable truth that corruption doesn't always look like a stranger—it can wear a badge.The violent reality of New Orleans in the 1990s and the systemic failures that shaped itCorruption inside the NOPD, including the actions of Officer Len DavisKim Groves' courage—and what happens when a Black woman refuses to stay silentThe long history of mistrust between Black communities and law enforcement in AmericaHow race, power, and internal systems of oppression complicate “protection” and “justice”The investigation, cooperation deals, and what accountability looks like in a corrupt systemWhy police reform is still an urgent conversation—and why stories like Kim's must be rememberedTimestamps00:00 — Introduction + case overview00:35 — New Orleans in the 1990s: context + tension01:02 — Crime statistics + community impact02:24 — Len Davis + Kim Groves background03:42 — Misconduct culture inside the NOPD05:59 — Operation Shattered Shield begins08:11 — Kim files a misconduct complaint09:33 — The danger of speaking out11:05 — The legacy of racial oppression + policing13:09 — Kim Groves' murder + surveillance footage14:57 — Trial tactics: discrediting the victim16:37 — Witness testimony + plea deals20:03 — Victim-blaming + “perfect victim” expectations21:41 — Sentencing + why plea agreements matter24:50 — Len Davis' death + the lasting damage25:45 — Corruption and community trauma27:08 — Remembering Kim's humanity28:20 — Corruption involving Black officers30:05 — Accountability: personal + systemic31:26 — Closing reflection: race, policing, reformResources & LinksFBI: Operation Shattered ShieldKim Groves case coverage + justice reportingFollow + Support Murder in the Black

She claimed that routine checks amounted to harassment, arguing that guards were deliberately making noise, shining lights, and observing her in ways she said were unnecessary and punitive. Her legal team framed these complaints as evidence of a hostile detention environment, suggesting that the Bureau of Prisons was failing to respect her dignity and rights. The thrust of her argument was that standard suicide-watch style monitoring, implemented in the shadow of Jeffrey Epstein's death, crossed the line into abuse. What Maxwell cast as misconduct, however, closely mirrored the very safeguards the BOP put in place precisely because of her proximity to one of the most notorious custodial failures in modern history.The complaints landed poorly in the court of public opinion, given the gravity of the crimes she was accused of facilitating. Critics noted the stark contrast between Maxwell's grievances about personal discomfort and the years of exploitation suffered by Epstein's victims, whose privacy and bodily autonomy were systematically stripped away. Her allegations against guards read less like a serious civil rights claim and more like an attempt to reframe herself as persecuted rather than protected from self-harm. Judges and prosecutors largely treated her complaints as secondary to the overwhelming security concerns surrounding her detention. In the end, Maxwell's focus on guard behavior underscored a recurring pattern in her defense strategy: deflecting attention from her role in Epstein's operation by recasting herself as the one being wronged by the system.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

It's estimated that there are between 25,000 and 30,000 judicial law clerks in courts all across the United States. These positions generally are filled by young lawyers fresh out of law school.This may be a little known fact, but federal workplace protection laws - for example, prohibiting workplace harassment - do not apply to, and therefore do not protect, judicial law clerks. That doesn't sound right, does it?One former judicial law clerk, Aliza Schatzman, decided to do something about it and founded a nonprofit organization called the Legal Accountability Project (LAP).I sat down for an extended conversation with Aliza to discuss her experience as a judicial law clerk that led her to create the Legal Accountability Project.

A state senator pleaded not guilty Thursday to an official misconduct charge over a no-bid contract he awarded to a longtime colleague in 2024. The case is now headed for a jury trial.

After the Ghislaine Maxwell trial, Juror 50, Scotty David, gave a controversial interview in which he openly discussed jury deliberations and revealed that his own personal experience as a survivor of sexual abuse influenced how he evaluated testimony. He stated that during deliberations he encouraged other jurors to rely on their “common sense” and personal experiences to understand why victims might delay reporting or struggle with memory. While David framed his comments as an effort to help jurors empathize with survivors, the interview immediately raised alarms because jurors are explicitly instructed not to introduce outside experiences or undisclosed biases into deliberations. His remarks appeared to contradict assurances given during jury selection, where jurors are required to disclose experiences that could affect their impartiality. The interview transformed what should have been a closed chapter of the trial into a new flashpoint, shifting attention from Maxwell's conviction to the integrity of the verdict itself.The fallout was swift and serious. Maxwell's legal team seized on David's comments, filing motions arguing that his failure to disclose his abuse history tainted the jury and violated her right to a fair trial. Courts were forced to hold post-trial hearings to determine whether juror misconduct had occurred and whether David intentionally withheld material information during voir dire. Although the conviction ultimately stood, the episode handed Maxwell's defense a procedural lifeline and injected avoidable uncertainty into an otherwise decisive outcome. Critics argued that David's decision to speak publicly was reckless, providing ammunition to a convicted trafficker while retraumatizing survivors who feared the verdict could be undone.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
