Those stories and more were detailed in court filings this week in a lawsuit challenging the legality of Trump administration efforts to lay off federal employees connected to the partial government shutdown. Judge Susan Illston of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California already has issued a temporary ruling blocking…

By DIDI TANG and PAUL WISEMAN WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials are launching an investigation into whether China lived up to its commitments under a 2020 trade pact that President Donald Trump described at the time as “an incredible breakthrough.’’ The announcement Friday by U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer came the same day Trump was scheduled to head to Asia, where he said he will meet Chinese President Xi Jinping in an effort to ease trade tensions between the world’s two biggest economies. Beijing has announced that Xi will travel to South Korea to attend a regional economic meeting and…

A former California Highway Patrol captain from the San Gabriel Valley pleaded guilty Thursday, Oct. 23 to a federal charge stemming from an incident on a Los Angeles-bound flight, where he slapped a flight attendant’s behind, declared his “love” for the man and exposed himself. Dennis Woodbury, 50, of Azusa, entered a plea to one count of “abusive sexual contact within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States,” a felony carrying a possible sentence of up to two years behind bars, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Sentencing is set for Jan. 5. Prosecutors say Woodbury drank…
By JOHN HANNA The CEO of the nonprofit managing the Alamo resigned after a powerful Republican state official criticized her publicly, suggesting that her views aren’t compatible with the history of the Texas shrine. Kate Rogers said in a statement Friday that she had resigned the day before, after Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick wrote a letter to the Alamo Trust’s Board of Directors suggesting that she either resign or be removed. Patrick criticized her over an academic paper questioning the GOP-controlled Legislature’s education policies and suggesting she wanted the historic site in Texas to have a broader focus. “It was…
TORONTO — The Dodgers left Alex Vesia off the World Series roster they submitted on Friday morning and Manager Dave Roberts said Vesia “most likely” will miss the entire series. Vesia did not travel to Toronto with the team. He and his wife, Kayla, are dealing with a “deeply personal family matter,” the Dodgers announced on Thursday. “It’s certainly on our hearts and we miss him, and we’ll be thinking about him,” Roberts said Friday. The Dodgers could have put Vesia on family bereavement leave and activated him at some point during the series. But that would have put a…
By KEN SWEET NEW YORK (AP) — For nearly three years, JPMorgan Chase has picking up the legal tab of Charlie Javice and Olivier Amar, the two convicted fraudsters who sold their financial aid startup Frank to the bank. But the two have racked up an astronomical, nine-figure legal bill that far exceeds any reasonable amount the two may have needed for their defense, the bank said in a court filing late Friday. Chase shouldn’t have to pay and its agreement as part of the startup purchase to shoulder the costs should end, the bank argued. According to the filing,…

By BILL BARROW and THALIA BEATY The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is drawing a volatile mix of blowback and praise for arguing that a Canadian government advertisement playing in U.S. markets misrepresented the 40th president’s words to blast President Donald Trump’s tariff policies. It is not clear how the California-based Reagan Foundation decided to enter the fray over the ad, which was purchased by Ontario Premier Doug Ford and used portions of a 1987 Reagan speech on trade in which he questioned the wisdom of using tariffs as economic policy. But shortly after the foundation said on social…
