The heavy selling of Adani-linked shares, which wiped out billions of dollars worth of market value for India's second-largest conglomerate, caused trading in some Adani companies to be suspended or temporarily halted on Friday. So far, the impact has been mainly to Adani Group companies, though India's Sensex index fell 1.5% on Friday and its Nifty index shed 1.6%.

Cohen was the only person targeted by that office who served jail time for his role in the scheme to pay porn star Stormy Daniels hush money to keep her quiet about her affair with Trump—thus sparing his 2016 presidential campaign the scandal. According to Berman’s book, Justice Department top brass tried to shield Trump, demanding that Berman’s team of prosecutors scrub any reference to him in public law enforcement documents. And the attorney general at the time, Bill Barr, even tried to unravel Cohen’s prosecution by shopping around an alternative legal “theory” … [Read more...] about Trump’s Fall Guy Furious Former Prosecutor Saved Details for Memoir
