Former US President Donald Trump said on Monday that FBI agents raided his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida. Law enforcement officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Trump’s claims.

The focus of the investigation was not immediately clear. Here is a look at some of the probes and lawsuits that Trump faces.

MISSING NATIONAL RECORDS

The US National Archives and Records Administration in February notified Congress that it had recovered about 15 boxes of White House documents from Trump’s Florida home, some of which contained classified materials.

The US House of Representatives Oversight Committee at that time said it was expanding an investigation into Trump’s actions and asked the Archives to turn over additional information. Trump previously confirmed that he had agreed to return certain records to the Archives, calling it “an ordinary and routine process.”

JAN 6 ATTACK ON THE US CAPITOL

A congressional panel probing January 6, 2021, assault by Trump supporters on the US Capitol is working to build a case that he broke the law in trying to overturn his 2020 election defeat.

Vice chair Liz Cheney has said the committee could make multiple referrals to the Justice Department seeking criminal charges against Trump, who accuses the panel of conducting a sham investigation. 

In a March 2 court filing, the committee detailed Trump’s efforts to persuade then-Vice President Mike Pence to either reject slates of electors for Democrat Joe Biden, who won the election, or delay a congressional count of those votes.

Trump’s efforts likely violated a federal law making it illegal to “corruptly” obstruct any official proceeding, or attempt to do so, said David Carter, the California federal judge overseeing the casE

In the March 2 filing, the committee said it was likely that Trump and others conspired to defraud the United…

Four-time Super Bowl champion and NFL legend Rob Gronkowski will be celebrating his retirement in style at Mohegan Sun next month.

“Rob Gronkowski’s Official Retirement Party” will take place at FanDuel Sportsbook in the casino on Saturday, Sept. 10 from 9-11 p.m. The party will feature complimentary appetizers, a champagne toast and the opportunity to run into the former Tight End, according to a press release.

DJ Whoo Kid, the host of The Whoolywood Shuffle on Sirius/XM, will be present all night spinning tracks while the “Gronk Smash Burger” will make its debut at the event. Guests might even be able to see Gronkowski do the “Gronk Smash” on the dance floor. 

An after party will take place at the Avalon Nightclub in Mohegan Sun starting at 11:30 p.m.

Gronkowski’s long-term girlfriend, Camille Kostek, is a Killingworth native and has been spotted on various occassions visiting her home state with the ex-NFL star.  

The former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers player announced his initial retirement in 2019 before coming back in 2020 to join former teammate Tom Brady on the Buccaneers. Gronkowski…

Sen. Pete Harckham, Yorktown Supervisor Matt Slater and Ken Belfer.

State Senator Pete Harckham recently announced that he has delivered a $100,000 grant for the Mohegan Lake Improvement District and Town of Yorktown for the installation of a new aeration system and retrofitting existing aeration systems in the lake to remove phosphorus in the lake that is causing large algae blooms each year.

By themselves, most algae and similar single-cell organisms actually benefit marine ecosystems and pose no risk to humans and wildlife. But the expansive, often smelly surface mats of freshwater algae blooms on ponds and lakes can harbor cyanobacteria, a toxic blue-green algae that can sicken swimmers and animals that ingest the water. Phosphorus leaching into the lake and warmer summer temperatures have only increased the algae blooms in the past few years.

“The extensive phosphorous abatement project being undertaken at Mohegan Lake will help restore this important natural resource and make it safe for recreation,” said Harckham. “I am happy to support both the Mohegan Lake Improvement District and Town of Yorktown in this effort with state funding that will reduce costs that would otherwise be shouldered by local taxpayers.  I am thankful to Ken Belfer of the Mohegan Lake Improvement District and all the residents for their efforts to address the challenges regarding the algae blooms and their creating models of success for other lake communities.”

Wooded areas and residential neighborhoods surround Mohegan Lake. For a number of years, blue-green algae blooms have interfered with seasonal recreation use of the 103-acre lake, with the local beaches often closed down for long stretches of the summer. A homemade aeration system and periodic treatments of copper compounds, which settle in the sediment, have not…

WILKES-BARRE TWP. — A higher valuation of the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza will drive up insurance premiums, the authority that owns the facility learned Wednesday.

The arena, that opened in November 1999, increased in value to $87.6 million from $79 million last year, representatives of Assured Partners in Plains Township informed board members of the Luzerne County Convention Center during their public meeting at the facility.

Premiums likewise increased to $192,795, up from $179,696 under the existing liability coverage that expires in two days, and a separate active shooter/active assailant policy could further raise insurance costs between $14,000 and $15,000. The board approved renewing the policies at the higher cost, but asked Assured Partners to look into higher deductibles that could reduce premiums and pay for the additional policy.

The board dealt with another financial matter that will cost it approximately $70,000.

Michael Vind of Financial Solutions, the authority’s financial adviser, explained the mechanics of amending a loan to comply with a new rate index to go into effect after June 30, 2023.

“The authority has one piece of debt outstanding in the amount of $21.45 million . It matures in 2035,” Vind said. It carries an interest rate of 3.23% through FNB, he added.

In preparation for the switch to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate from the London Interbank Offered Rate the loan documents have to be changed to reflect the switch.

FNB agreed to continue the existing rate, Vind noted.

“From a debt service perspective it’s going to be neutral. We think this is very good outcome,” Vind said.

Vind recommended the board pay the cost out-of-pocket to amend the loan. The alternative of amortizing the cost…
