SUMMARY: A nationwide healthcare fraud crackdown has led to charges against over 320 people, including some in North Carolina’s Triangle area. The fraud involves schemes like paying patients for treatments, receiving kickbacks from labs, and providing unnecessary medical equipment or therapy bills to Medicare and Medicaid. Acting U.S. Attorney Daniel Bubar highlighted cases such as a substance abuse clinic accumulating $25 million through kickbacks and equipment providers charging $39 million for unneeded items like knee braces. Immigrant communities were targeted for fraudulent services. Nationwide, defendants billed over $14.6 billion in false claims, prompting intensified enforcement in the Eastern District of North Carolina.

Some Triangle-area cases include issues of paying patients to receive treatment and getting kickbacks from a lab, sending medical equipment to people who didn’t need it and targeting immigrant communities to receive services that they didn’t need or never received.

SUMMARY: Jury deliberations have begun in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal sex trafficking trial. Twelve jurors, eight men and four women aged 30 to 74, are deciding his fate after six weeks of testimony from 34 witnesses. Prosecutors allege Combs used his business as a criminal enterprise to exploit and traffic women through power, violence, and fear, urging conviction on five charges including racketeering and sex trafficking. Combs denies all charges, claiming all sexual encounters were consensual, and his defense argues the case is exaggerated. If convicted, Combs faces life in prison. The judge has ordered the jury to continue deliberations despite a juror issue.

The hip-hop mogul is charged with sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.

SUMMARY: Senator Tom Tillis of North Carolina announced he will not seek re-election, citing a desire to spend more time with family. Tillis broke ranks with Republicans by opposing President Trump’s sweeping domestic policy bill, particularly criticizing Medicaid cuts, which he said would hurt North Carolinians. Trump threatened to back a primary challenger against Tillis after his vote. The Senate aims to pass the bill by July 4, but Democrats delayed debate by forcing a lengthy reading of the 940-page plan. Tillis’s Senate seat is pivotal for Republicans maintaining their majority, sparking a competitive race with several potential candidates from both parties emerging.

Republican Sen. Thom Tillis’ decision to not seek reelection comes after he opposed President Donald Trump’s so-called “Big Beautiful Bill,” which would cut taxes on wages and tips while increasing spending on many of the president’s priorities, including immigration enforcement.
