Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's son secretly works for Trump's treasury: report

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's son, Philip Alito, has been working as a political appointee attorney at the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of the General Counsel since the early months of President Donald Trump's second administration, raising serious conflict of interest concerns.According to reports by NOTUS, Philip Alito's presence was treated as something close to a government secret. "If people were introducing themselves by first and last name, he'd just say 'Phil,' not Phil Alito," said one former official. "He's a pretty soft-spoken guy."Four former government officials also claimed he maintains no public resume or LinkedIn profile. As an attorney-adviser in the general counsel's front office, he was briefed on important Treasury matters and provided legal feedback at the highest levels. The Treasury Department's general counsel's office handles legal matters related to taxation, economic policy, and law enforcement, including potential cases challenging Trump's anti-weaponization fund that could reach the Supreme Court. A tariff lawsuit naming the Treasury as defendant was argued before the justices in November, with Philip Alito's employment never disclosed in court documents. Justice Alito did not recuse himself from the case, nor did he respond to a request for comments by NOTUS.Watch the video below. Your browser does not support the video tag.

Group working on Trump's 'war on fraud' is run by accused fraudsters: report

The Trump administration's supposed "war on fraud" is benefiting from the support of a group of alleged fraudsters, according to new reporting. Cuts to Medicaid and raids on daycare centers are part of the president's stated crackdown on fraud, which has been backed by a nonprofit called the State Financial Officers Foundation, according to reporting by The Lever. State auditors and treasurers are part of the State Financial Officers Foundation, which throws its support behind Trump with reports and statements touting the war on fraud's success, The Lever reported. However, the nonprofit's board president, Seth Metcalf, is facing corruption allegations, according to The Lever. Metcalf, a former Ohio deputy treasurer, allegedly colluded with board members of the state's teachers' pension fund to direct $65 billion to his investment firm, according to whistleblowers. An Ohio judge wrote in a February ruling that the pension board members were "mere puppets" of Metcalf, The Lever noted. He reportedly penned documents accusing the pension board of "committing fraud" to pressure them, The Lever added. Metcalf is also being sued for fraud and mismanagement related to an AI start-up's money, according to The Lever. Meanwhile, the State Financial Officers Foundation's vice chair, Adam Crum, allegedly misused state funds while working as Alaska's revenue commissioner. Crum allegedly tried to take $75 million from state reserve funds and invest it in a private equity fund, which a lawmaker described as "gross incompetence" because of the move's high risk, according to The Lever. He also reportedly gave $8.5 million worth of contracts to a consulting firm that sponsored a glacier cruise for the State Financial Officers Foundation, according to reporting by the Juneau Independent. Red states have called out the group for exaggerating fraud numbers, too. An independent auditor found that one of the nonprofit's members, who was Florida's chief financial officer, used a DOGE formula to misrepresent hurricane recovery efforts as massive misspending. Democratic Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said one of the nonprofit's claims of fraud was "wildly inflated."

Stephen Colbert's MAGA-friendly replacement flops upon debut: report

Stephen Colbert's "Late Show" series finale drew 6.7 million viewers, while Byron Allen's replacement program "Comics Unleashed" attracted only 995,000 in its debut on CBS. The stark ratings disparity underscores the challenge of replacing Colbert, whose show ended following alleged pressure from President Donald Trump on the network's parent company, according to Nielsen data and reports by The Daily Beast. Although CBS cited financial reasons for the cancellation, Colbert and political analysts have suggested Trump's criticism drove the decision. Late-night competitors Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon each drew over 1.5 million viewers the same night "Comics Unleashed" premiered. Even Colbert's YouTube appearance on the public access show "Only in Monroe" garnered 928,000 views, nearly matching Allen's broadcast audience. Long-time late-night reporter Bill Carter suggested Trump was "personally involved" in Colbert's removal from the network, Fox News reported.Watch the video below.
