Buffett's estate at center of bitter fight between wife, financial adviser

Jimmy Buffett's estate at center of bitter fight between wife, financial adviser
Jimmy Buffett's widowis hitting back againsther late husband'sfinancial adviser, ramping up a legal tug-of-war and alleging he "failed" to administer his multimillion-dollar estate in "good faith." In a complaint filed July 21 in Palm Beach County, Florida, and reviewed by USA TODAY, lawyers for Jane Buffett claim that Richard Mozenter, the co-trustee of her husband's estate, repeatedly "breached his fiduciary duty to Mrs. Buffett," by failing to inform her about the assets and investments involved in the Marital Trust, all while taking home "unreasonable fees" to line his own pockets. A Marital Trust refers to a cache of money or investments that are set aside to support a surviving spouse and avoid estate tax. In this case, Jane Buffett is the sole beneficiary of the Marital Trust, but a co-trustee alongside Mozenter. Jimmy Buffett, 'Margaritaville' singerand mogul, dies: 'He lived his life like a song' Her filing moves to strike Mozenter as a trustee of the estate and comes after he filed his own petition late month, aiming to strike her instead. Now, either party is asking the judge to remove the other, warring over a whopping $275 million estate. Jimmy Buffett, a yacht rock pioneerand beach entertainment mogul,died Sept. 1, 2023, at 76.His sizable estate encompasses not just earnings from the sun-soaked anthems that once made him famous, but also from the chain of "Margaritaville" restaurants and resorts that now dot the globe. He and Jane were married in 1977. In her filings, Buffett alleges that Mozenter only took legal action to have her removed after her lawyers sent him a letter demanding his resignation and threatening to take him to court if he did not comply. Mozenter's original lawsuit, filed June 2 in West Palm Beach, claims that Jimmy Buffett established the trust with him as an independent trustee because the musician had concerns "regarding Jane's ability to manage and control his assets." Jane Buffett was "very angry" about the way the trust was structured, the filing alleged, and "has repeatedly acted in a hostile manner and has been completely uncooperative with Rick in his attempts to administer the Trust." At the time, Buffett responded with her own complaint in Los Angeles Superior Court, claiming Mozenter has been "plainly deficient" as a trustee. Mozenter and Jeffrey Smith, the attorney he hired to represent the trustees, had been hostile toward Jane Buffett and worked against her best interests, she claimed in the lawsuit, adding that Mozenter would not provide her with updates and information about the trust, leaving her "in the dark" about her finances while belittling and disrespecting her. This week's complaint builds on those claims, calling Mozenter's behavior "rude and bizarre" and asking the judge to allow her to replace him with another professional to terminate an "untenable" relationship. "Jane will not play into Mr. Mozenter's hands by litigating this dispute in two separate courts across the country, which would drain the very trust money that Jimmy specifically set aside for her care," Matt Porpora, an attorney for Buffett said in a statement to USA TODAY July 21. "Instead, Jane is bringing the fight to Florida, where she and Jimmy called home. Jane is confident she will prevail regardless of where her claims are heard, and her decision to move her claims from California to Florida illustrates that she is the only co-trustee looking to conserve −not waste − trust assets," he continued. USA TODAY has reached out to Mozenter for comment.

Jane Fonda, 87, Wears a Surprising Bedtime Outfit 'Because I'm Single'originally appeared onParade. Jane Fondahas spent a lifetime in the spotlight, and at 87, the legendary actress is still setting the record straight onstyle—both what she chooses to wear and what she insists a man should not. In a revealing new interview, Fonda laid down two major fashion rules, giving a rare look into her personal comfort and her biggest male fashion pet peeve. First, the style icon addressed her own wardrobe, specifically what she wears when the lights go out. Forget silk or lace; Fonda's current choice of sleepwear is all about practical comfort. Speaking withThe Times of London, she confessed her go-to bedtime attire is "a flannel nightgown." Yes, the woman who sizzled inBarbarellaand inspired millions in form-fitting workout gear has officially prioritized personal comfort over presentation. She explained her sleepwear is tied directly to her relationship status, admitting, "because I'm single." The star, who was famously married three times, drew a clear line between her past and present habits. "I never wore them when I was with a man," she added. Throughout her life in the public eye, Fonda has hadseveral high-profile relationships, including three marriages. Her first was in 1965 to French filmmakerRoger Vadim, with whom she lived in Paris and welcomed a daughter,Vanessa, during their eight-year union. In 1973, she wed activistTom Hayden, with whom she shares a son,Troy Garity. A decade after their divorce, she married CNN founderTed Turnerin 1991, a partnership that lasted for ten years. Her most recent long-term relationship was with record producerRichard Perry, which ended in 2017. While Fonda has her own style defined for her single life, her preferences extend to what she sees in men—and she is not afraid to pass judgment. When the conversation turned to male fashion faux pas, Fonda was just as direct and unflinching. Asked what she believes men should never wear, she targeted a timeless and often-debated style sin. Her answer was swift and decisive: "White socks with trousers that are too short."

blocks U.S. government worker and banker from leaving the country

China blocks U.S. government worker and banker from leaving the country
A U.S. Department of Commerce employee has been restricted from leavingChinaby authorities in Beijing, a State Department spokesperson told CBS News on Monday. The unidentified government employee's restricted travel was confirmed as Beijing revealed new information about a U.S.-based Wells Fargo banker who has also been subjected to an exit ban. "We can confirm that a U.S. Patent and Trademark Office employee, while traveling to China in a personal capacity, was made subject to an exit ban in China," the State Department spokesperson said Monday. "We are tracking this case very closely and are engaged with Chinese officials to resolve the situation as quickly as possible." The New York Times reported Monday that the employee in question is a U.S. citizen who has been prevented from leaving China since mid-April. The newspaper cited a State Department document it has obtained, adding that it shows Beijing officials seized the man's passport, credit card, cellphone and iPad while he was in the city of Chengdu on April 14. The Times said, citing the document, that the man's documents were returned on April 22, but that he was told he could not leave the country. At a news conference on Monday, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson declined to comment on the case of the Department of Commerce employee beyond saying that Beijing "upholds the rule of law and handles entry and exit affairs in accordance with the law." But Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiaku did confirm that Wells Fargo banker Mao Chenyue has been restricted from leaving China and is facing criminal charges. "Ms. Mao Chenyue is involved in a criminal case currently being handled by Chinese law-enforcement authorities and is subjected to exit restrictions in accordance with the law. Pursuant to Chinese laws, with the case still under investigation, Ms. Mao cannot leave the country for the time being and has an obligation to cooperate with the investigation," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiaku said Monday. Chenyue is a Managing Director at Wells Fargo and is based in Atlanta, according to her Linkedin profile, which says she is bilingual in English and Chinese. A source close to Chenyue confirmed to CBS News that she is a U.S. citizen. She leads Wells Fargo's international factoring business and was born in Shanghai, according to a June press release on the website of the non profit FCI, a global network of companies that provides factoring services. A Wells Fargo representative told CBS News in a statement on Monday that the company was "closely tracking this situation and working through the appropriate channels so our employee can return to the United States as soon as possible." A U.S. State Department spokesperson declined to comment Monday on Chenyue's status, "due to privacy and other considerations," but said the State Department "has no higher priority than the safety and security of American citizens." On its website, the State Department urges Americans travelling in China to "exercise increased caution," warning that China "arbitrarily enforces local laws, including exit bans on U.S. citizens and citizens of other countries, without fair and transparent process under the law." U.S. citizens may only realize they have been subjected to an exit ban when they attempt to leave China, and there may be no available legal recourse to appeal such a ban via a Chinese court, according to the State Department's travel advisory. The Chinese government also does not recognize dual nationality, meaning "U.S. citizens of Chinese descent may be subject to additional scrutiny and harassment," the guidance on the State Department's website says. The latest incidents come at a sensitive time in relations between Beijing and Washington. In late June, the White House and officials in Beijing said the two sides hadagreed on the framework of a new dealto end a trade war between the world's two largest economies. As it stands, China faces an August 12 deadline — imposed by President Trump — to strike a new trade deal with the U.S. to end an escalating tit-for-tat trade tariff war that the countries have engaged in since Mr. Trump returned to the White House in January. Mr. Trump imposed tariffs of up to 145% on imports from China, and Beijing responded with its own steep import duties, but the two sides agreed to a truce to allow for negotiations. In the meantime, the Trump administration has imposed 30% tariffs on imports from China, pending the August 12 deadline, when much higher rates will be imposed by both Washington and Beijing if no agreement is reached. The standoff has increased the risks for American companies doing business in China that had already been mounting for several years. In June 2023, after Chinese authoritiesraided the officesof several U.S.-based firms, Beijing-based business lawyer James Zimmermantold CBS Newsit seemed everything was being taken by the Communist Party as a potential threat. "Unfortunately, in that kind of environment it's very difficult to operate — when everything is viewed as a national security matter and… it looks as if…. anything you do could be considered to be spying," he said.

Turkey says it will intervene against any attempt to divide Syria
ANKARA (Reuters) -Turkey will directly intervene to stop any attempt to fragment Syria and will prevent any attempts by militants to obtain autonomy after clashes in southern Syria, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Tuesday. His warning against fragmentation, in comments to reporters in Ankara, appeared aimed at Israel as Turkey considers this to be Israel's ultimate aim in Syria. Turkey has condemned Israeli strikes on Damascus last week as an attempt to sabotage Syria's efforts to establish peace and security, and sees clashes between Druze fighters and Syrian Bedouin tribes in the southern province of Sweida as part of an Israeli policy of regional destabilisation. NATO member Turkey supports Syria's new government and has called for a ceasefire between the Bedouin and Druze fighters. Fidan said Israel wanted a divided Syria to make the country unstable, weaker and a liability to the region, and added that Kurdish YPG militants were looking to take advantage of the chaos. "God willing, we will prevent this policy from being realised," he said. In an apparent reference to the YPG, he said groups in Syria should not see such chaos as a tactical opportunity to achieve autonomy or independence within Syria and that they faced "a big strategic catastrophe". "This leads nowhere," he said. Ankara sees the YPG, which spearheads the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, as a terrorist organisation, and has carried out several cross-border operations against them. "We are warning you: no group should engage in acts towards division," Fidan said. He said many issues could be discussed via diplomacy "but if you go beyond this and seek fragmentation and destabilising we will consider this a direct threat to our security and intervene." Fidan said Turkey would support efforts to secure peace and stability in Syria, and talks on this, but would not let itself be exposed to threats. Israel did not immediately comment on Fidan's remarks. It said it struck targets in Syria last week to defend the Druze.

aid supplies left and staff starving in Gaza, says Norwegian Refugee Council

No aid supplies left and staff starving in Gaza, says Norwegian Refugee Council
By Olivia Le Poidevin GENEVA (Reuters) -The Norwegian Refugee Council told Reuters on Tuesday its aid stocks are completely depleted in Gaza, with some of its staff now starving, and the organization accused Israel of paralysing its work. "Our last tent, our last food parcel, our last relief items have been distributed. There is nothing left," Jan Egeland, the secretary general of the council told Reuters in an interview via video link from Oslo. The council's comments echo those made earlier on Tuesday by the head of the Palestinian refugee agency, who said UNRWA's staff were fainting on the job from hunger and exhaustion. The NRC says that for the last 145 days, it has not been able to get hundreds of truckloads of tents, water, sanitation, food and education materials into Gaza. COGAT, the Israeli military aid coordination agency, and Israeli authorities did not immediately respond to a request for comment. It has denied accusations that it is preventing aid from reaching Gaza, and has accused Palestinian militant group Hamas of stealing food, which Hamas denies. "Hundreds of truckloads have been sitting in warehouses or in Egypt or elsewhere, and costing our Western European donors a lot of money, but they are blocked from coming in… That's why we are so angry. Because our job is to help," Egeland said. "Israel is not yielding. They just want to paralyse our work," he added. The NRC has 64 Palestinian and two international staff on the ground in Gaza. On Sunday the NRC had to move 33 of its staff out of Deir al Balah following Israeli evacuation warnings. The NRC said its supplies of safe drinking water are also running out, due to dwindling supplies of fuel to run desalination plants. The water has reached 100,000 people in central and northern parts of Gaza in recent weeks An Israeli official told Reuters there is about a half a million liters of fuel that the U.N. has been given approval to bring in. "They're bringing in fuel and collecting, but they can bring in and they can collect more, and we are having discussions with them," the official said. The official also said that there are about 700 trucks of unpacked aid on the Gaza side of the Kerem Shalom crossing which have not been distributed.

risks, Texas Republicans launch Trump-backed effort to redraw congressional lines

Despite risks, Texas Republicans launch Trump-backed effort to redraw congressional lines
By Joseph Ax (Reuters) -Texas Republicans on Monday launched a high-risk, high-reward redrawing of the state's 38 congressional districts, a move championed by President Donald Trump to protect the party's narrow U.S. House majority in next year's midterm elections. Trump has told reporters he expects the effort to yield as many as five additional House Republicans. Republicans hold a narrow 220-212 majority in the House, with three Democratic-held seats vacant after members' deaths. But redistricting experts said the plan could backfire if Republicans try to squeeze too many seats out of what is already considered a significantly skewed map. "Redrawing the Texas map is a dangerous proposition for House Republicans and their incumbents," Suzan DelBene, a Democratic congresswoman from Washington State and chair of the party's congressional campaign arm, told reporters. "It's basic math. For them to try to break up Democratic-held districts, they will have to weaken Republican districts, who already are facing political headwinds." Under the current lines, Republicans control 25 seats, nearly two-thirds of the districts in a state that went for Trump last year by a 56% to 42% margin. States are required to redistrict every 10 years based on the U.S. Census but the Texas map was passed just four years ago by the Republican-dominated legislature. While mid-cycle redistricting occasionally takes place, it is usually prompted by a change in power at the legislature. "This is totally unprecedented for a party to redraw its own map," said Michael Li, a redistricting expert at New York University's Brennan Center for Justice. "I can't think of another situation where the party got what it wanted, did very well and then decided to redraw its own map." Texas Democrats expressed disapproval on the state Senate floor on Monday and criticized Republicans for pursuing redistricting during a special legislative session that will also address funding for flood prevention in the wake of the deadly July 4 flash flooding that killed more than 130. But they have little recourse in a legislature dominated by Republicans. "I think this is a tremendous waste of time," Senator Roland Gutierrez, a Democrat, said. Asked about Democratic criticisms, a spokesman for Governor Greg Abbott previously said the governor was "dedicated to delivering results on issues important to Texans" during the session, including flood relief and tax cuts. PACKING AND CRACKING Gerrymandering, the process of manipulating district boundaries to benefit one party, typically includes both "packing" and "cracking." Packing involves cramming as many opposition voters into a district as possible, making it easier to win the surrounding districts; cracking divides opposition voters into multiple districts, diluting their electoral power. When lawmakers push too far, however, they run the risk of creating a so-called "dummymander," in which the margins are thin enough that the other party ends up winning districts in a voting shift. Trump's Republicans already face vulnerabilities ahead of the 2026 elections. Only 41% of Americans approve of the job he is doing, according to Reuters/Ipsos polling, and the president's party historically underperforms during midterm elections. Democrats privately concede that Republicans could fairly easily draw a new map to oust two vulnerable Democrats, Henry Cuellar and Vicente Gonzalez, whose heavily Latino south Texas districts swung toward Trump in 2024. But gaining five seats is a tougher task. "This has dummymander written all over it," said New York University's Li. "When you gerrymander, you're making a bet that you know what the future of the state will look like. In some states, that's a safe bet; in Texas, it's very much not." Texas is one of the fastest growing states in the nation, adding more than 1,500 people a day from 2023 to 2024, according to the state demographer. Texas lawmakers need only look back a few years to see how a seemingly safe gerrymander can shift. In 2018, during Trump's first term, Democrats flipped two seats and came close to winning a handful of other previously solid Republican seats, as suburban voters swung away from Trump. Following the 2020 census, Texas Republicans responded by drawing a map designed to protect their incumbents. Only three of the state's 38 districts are seen as competitive under the current lines. In calling for the special session, Abbott cited a letter from Trump's Justice Department that alleged four majority-minority districts – all held by Democrats – were unconstitutional racial gerrymanders. Democrats and civil rights groups have warned that breaking up majority-minority districts will dilute the voting power for people of color. The existing map is already the subject of several lawsuits claiming that it intentionally discriminated against minority voters. Some Democrats have also suggested fighting fire with fire by redistricting in states they control. California Governor Gavin Newsom has floated the idea of sidestepping the state's redistricting commission to draw a new, more Democrat-friendly map.

Trump withdraws U.S. from 'woke' UNESCO program again
The United States again is withdrawing from the United Nations' UNESCO program, which theTrumpadministration is now labeling "woke" afterpreviously rejectingit because of alleged anti-Israel bias. The move, which goes into effect at the end of 2026, continues Trump's efforts to pull the U.S. out of international institutions he has long criticized, something he also did in his first term. White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said UNESCO "supports woke, divisive cultural and social causes that are totally out-of-step with the commonsense policies that Americans voted for in November." UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay said in a statement to USA TODAY that Trump's decision to withdraw is "regrettable" and "contradicts the fundamental principles of multilateralism." Azoulay said UNESCO had been anticipating and preparing for a loss of U.S. support and "is not considering any layoffs." The U.S. currently contributes about 8% of UNESCO's budget, Azoulay said. Paris-based UNESCO was founded after World War II to promote peace through international cooperation in education, science, and culture. One of UNESCO's core missions is the World Heritage program, which protects historic and cultural sites. It also runs a number of educational programs. Trump alsowithdrew the U.S. from UNESCO- which stands for U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization - during his first administration, citing concerns about its approach to Israel. He also withdrew the U.S. from the World Health Organization, the U.N. Human Rights Council, a global climate change accord and the Iran nuclear deal. Joe Bidenreversed those decisions after taking office in 2021,returning the U.S.to UNESCO, the WHO and the climate agreement. With Trump now back in the White House, the U.S. is onceagain pulling outof these global bodies. He has already decided to withdraw the U.S. from the WHO and halt funding to the Palestinian relief agency UNRWA as part of a review of the country's participation in UN agencies, due to be concluded in August. UNESCO has been a focal point of criticism for years. The U.S. stopped funding UNESCO after it voted to include Palestine as a member in 2011. The Reagan administration withdrew from the organization in 1984, but President George W. Bush brought the United States back into the group in 2002.

White House to unveil plan to push US AI abroad, crack down on restrictive rules, document shows
By Jarrett Renshaw and Alexandra Alper WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The White House intends to publish a plan on Wednesday that calls for the export of American AI technology abroad and a crackdown on state laws deemed too restrictive to let it flourish, a document seen by Reuters shows. According to a summary of the draft plan seen by Reuters, the White House will bar federal AI funding from going to states with tough AI rules and ask the Federal Communications Commission to assess whether state laws conflict with its mandate. It will also promote open source and open weight AI development and "export American AI technologies through full-stack deployment packages" and data center initiatives led by the Commerce Department. The plan will "focus on empowering American workers through AI-enabled job creation and industry breakthroughs," according to the document. U.S. President Donald Trump ordered his administration in January to produce a plan that would make "America the world capital in artificial intelligence" and reduce regulatory barriers to its rapid expansion. That report, which includes input from the National Security Council, is due by Wednesday. Trump is set to mark that deadline with a major speech as part of an event titled "Winning the AI Race," organized by White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks and his co-hosts on the All-In podcast. "The Plan will deliver a strong, specific, and actionable federal policy roadmap that goes beyond the details reported here and we look forward to releasing it soon," White House Office of Science and Technology Policy spokeswoman Victoria LaCivita said in a statement. Trump is laser-focused on removing barriers to AI expansion, a marked departure from his predecessor, Joe Biden, who feared U.S. adversaries like China could harness AI to supercharge its military and harm allies. Biden, who left office in January, imposed a raft of restrictions on exports of coveted American AI chips to China and other countries that could use or divert the semiconductors to China over national security concerns. Trump rescinded Biden's executive order aimed at promoting competition, protecting consumers and ensuring AI was not used for misinformation. He also pulled back Biden's so-called AI diffusion rule, which capped the amount of American AI computing capacity that some countries were allowed to obtain via U.S. AI chip imports. Last month, Sacks downplayed the risk that coveted American AI chips could be smuggled to bad actors and expressed concern that regulating U.S. AI too tightly could stifle growth and cede the critical market to China. Under Trump's plan, the White House would also promote AI use at the Pentagon, launch a program to identify federal regulations that impede AI development and streamline the permitting process for data center construction.
