Damian Halfkenny, 54, of Boston, was charged with one count of wire fraud, U.S. Attorney Leah Foley's office said. A plea hearing has not yet been scheduled.

Nancy Pexton, 69, is accused of fatally stabbing her sister, Jennifer Abbott Dauward, in the neck and stealing her diamond-encrusted gold Rolex watch. The incident occurred on June 10 in Camden, London.

By deliberately setting fire to multiple police vehicles in the pre-dawn hours, the defendant put at risk the lives of first responders and residents asleep in their beds nearby, and ultimately, strained resources meant to protect the community.

Prosecutors wrote that the recordings show he was 'fully entangled' in the conduct under investigation.

The situation in Minnesota continues to prove an abject nightmare. The Trump administration continues to ignore and flagrantly undermine judges. If the administration put half as much effort into honoring its legal obligations as it places into attacking judges on social media, perhaps they wouldn't be staring down a massive staffing crisis - a crisis they're trying to resolve by asking people on Elon Musk's pornification site to sign up as AUSAs.

They don't drive it. They don't manage it. They don't control it. They let it control them.
