Trump trial live updates: Cross-examination of Michael Cohen resumes
Donald Trump's hush money trial on Monday continues with the prosecution's star witness Michael Cohen returning to the stand.
Cohen took the stand last week to lay out his version of the events that are at the heart of the case, placing Trump directly at the center of the alleged scheme to stifle negative stories to fend off damage to his White House bid.
Among other things, Cohen told jurors that Trump promised to reimburse him for the money he fronted and was constantly updated about efforts to silence women who alleged sexual encounters with him. Trump denies the women’s claims.
Red Lobster files for bankruptcy after dozens of restaurant closures
Facing rising costs and an all-you-can-eat shrimp deal that backfired, Red Lobster has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
The seafood restaurant chain said in a court filing late Sunday that it has more than 100,000 creditors and estimated assets between $1 billion and $10 billion, according to the Associated Press. The company's estimated liabilities are between $1 billion and $10 billion.
The news comes days after the seafood chain closed dozens of U.S. restaurants, including at least five locations in both California and Florida, and four in both Maryland and Colorado. Two locations in Illinois were also shut down last week.
The bankruptcy petition was signed by CEO Jonathan Tibus, a corporate restructuring specialist who took the top post at Red Lobster in March.
