A California entrepreneur who sought to merge the bitcoin culture with celebrities and social media has been arrested on a fraud charge. Nader Al-Naji was arrested in Los Angeles on Saturday on a wire fraud charge. Civil claims were brought against him by federal authorities on Tuesday. Authorities say Al-Naji lied to investors who poured hundreds of millions of dollars into his BitClout venture.

Former President Donald Trump claims Vice President Kamala Harris “doesn’t like Jewish people” even though she's married to a Jewish man. Trump seemed to agree on Tuesday with a radio host who called second gentleman Doug Emhoff “a crappy Jew.” Trump said in an interview on WABC radio Harris looked uncomfortable while meeting last week with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Republican former president says, “Number one, she doesn’t like Israel. Number two, she doesn’t like Jewish people." A spokesperson for Harris' Democratic campaign says, “America is better than the fear, hate, and despicable insults of Donald Trump."
“The Redemption Tour” ended in a familiar spot for Simone Biles: atop the Olympic podium. The American gymnastics star and her singular brilliance powered a dominant U.S. women’s team in the finals inside a raucous Bercy Arena. With Biles at her show-stopping best, the Americans’ total of 171.296 was well clear of Italy and Brazil and the exclamation point of a yearlong run in which Biles has cemented her legacy as the greatest ever in her sport and among the best in the history of the Olympics.
Jon Gruden is asking the entire Nevada Supreme Court to reconsider a decision by a three-justice panel to throw out a lawsuit he filed against the NFL over emails leaked to the media before he resigned as coach of the Las Vegas Raiders in 2021. The league declined Tuesday to comment and attorneys for Gruden and the NFL didn't respond to messages. Gruden wants all seven justices to rehear the case after three justices split 2-1 in a May ruling that said the league can move the civil case into arbitration that might be overseen by a defendant, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

“Sweet Valley High” creator Francine Pascal has died. The onetime soap opera writer's novels about the adventures of twins Elizabeth and Jessica Wakefield and other teens captivated millions of young readers. Publisher Penguin Random House says Pascal died Sunday at age 92. Starting in 1983, Francine Pascal oversaw the completion of more than 150 “Sweet Valley High” stories. Many were written with the help of others.

Vice President Kamala Harris is set to launch a battleground tour next week with her yet-to-be-named running mate, with stops in seven swing states stretching from Pennsylvania to Nevada. The planned tour is the latest sign of the whirlwind pace at which Harris has gone from President Joe Biden's supportive running mate to likely Democratic nominee ready to identify her No. 2 and take on Republican Donald Trump and Ohio Sen. JD Vance. Harris says she hasn’t made a decision yet on whom she will select. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Arizona Sen. Mark Kelly are among those under consideration.

The Democratic National Committee made the announcement in a statement on Tuesday. Although no other major Democrat had indicated any plans to challenge Harris, the DNC’s announcement officially clears the path for the vice president to seek her party’s nomination uncontested, just nine days after her former running-mate, President Joe Biden, dropped out of the race and created a vacancy at the top of the ticket.
Fire crews are working to hold on to the progress made against the largest blaze in California this year ahead of warming temperatures forecast for later this week. Authorities lifted evacuation orders Tuesday in some communities of Butte County and said containment was 14%. The Park Fire started in the county last week before spreading to a neighboring county and scorching an area bigger than Los Angeles. The massive fire continues to burn through rugged, inaccessible terrain with dense vegetation, threatening to spread to two other counties. The Park Fire is now the fifth largest in the state’s recorded history.

Authorities say no charges have been filed and the investigation is ongoing. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said last week that “Full Self Driving” should be able to run without human supervision by the end of this year.
