TikTok reportedly stays on App Store after assurance from Attorney General Pam Bondi

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi sent a letter of assurance to Apple officials that the company should act in accordance with Trump’s TikTok extension, according to a Bloomberg News report. President Donald Trump extended the divestiture deadline for U.S. operations for at least 75 days.Apple will keep ByteDance-owned TikTok on its App Store for at least 75 more days after receiving assurances from Attorney General Pam Bondi, according to a report from Bloomberg News.This comes after President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday to extend the TikTok ban deadline for the second time. TikTok will be banned in the U.S. unless China’s ByteDance sells its U.S. operations under a national security law signed by former President Joe Biden in April 2024.AG Bondi wrote in a letter to Apple that the company should act in accordance with Trump’s deadline extension and that it would not be penalized for hosting the platform, according to unnamed sources cited in the report.Apple did not respond to a request for comment.After TikTok went briefly offline for U.S. users in January following the initial ban deadline, it remained unavailable for download in the App Store until Feb. 13. Apple had reinstated TikTok to its app store after receiving a similar letter of assurance from Bondi.The extension comes days after Trump announced cumulative tariffs of 54% on China. Prior to the additional tariff rollout on April 2, the president said he could reduce duties on the country to help facilitate a deal for ByteDance to sell its U.S. operations of TikTok.“Maybe I’ll give them a little reduction in tariffs or something to get it done,” Trump said during a press conference in March. “TikTok is big, but every point in tariffs is worth more than TikTok.”WATCH: TikTok deal reportedly halted after China said it would reject it due to tariffs

Sean ‘Diddy' Combs hit with new sex trafficking charges a month before trial

Sean ‘Diddy' Combs hit with new sex trafficking charges a month before trial

Federal prosecutors on Friday added two charges to Sean “Diddy” Combs‘ indictment and said they expect four accusers to testify against him, expanding on allegations that the jailed hip-hop mogul engaged in sex trafficking with multiple women and as recently as last year.A superseding indictment accuses Combs of using force, fraud, or coercion to compel a woman to engage in commercial sex acts from at least 2021 to 2024.The indictment, returned by a federal grand jury in Manhattan, also alleges Combs was involved in transporting the woman — identified only as “Victim-2” — and other people, including commercial sex workers, to engage in prostitution during the same time frame.The new charges are in addition to racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges filed against Combs when he was arrested in September. They increase the total number of charges against him from three to five.In a court filing, federal prosecutors said the racketeering conspiracy charge involves allegations that Combs sex trafficked three victims and forced a fourth, one of his employees, into sexual activity with him.In the filing, which was heavily redacted, prosecutors said three of the four accusers who are expected to testify have asked that their identities not be revealed to the press or the public and that they instead be referred to by at trial using only pseudonyms.The accuser referred to as “Victim-1” in Combs’ charging documents is prepared to testify under her own name, prosecutors said.Sean "Diddy" CombsMar 20Sean ‘Diddy' Combs shocks with gray hair and beard in courtMusic & MusiciansFeb 21Sean ‘Diddy' Combs' lawyer steps down ahead of sex trafficking caseCelebrity NewsMar 3Jay-Z files a defamation lawsuit against the ‘Jane Doe' who accused him of rapeCombs, 55, is scheduled to stand trial May 5. He remains locked up at a federal jail in Brooklyn. A message seeking comment on the new charges was left with his representatives.Friday’s superseding indictment is the third filed against Combs.In the first, filed in January, federal prosecutors disclosed that their case involved at least three women whom they said Combs forced to engage in commercial sex acts. They also alleged Combs showed a firearm to a female victim during a kidnapping and once dangled a woman over an apartment balcony.Combs’ January indictment didn’t include additional charges but modified some details of the existing ones, including adding four years to the alleged racketeering conspiracy. Prosecutors now say it started in 2004, not 2008 as the original indictment had alleged. A superseding indictment in March contained minimal changes.Combs denies committing any crimes and has pleaded not guilty to the first set of charges, which allege that he coerced and abused women for years with help from a network of associates and employees while silencing victims through blackmail and violence, including kidnapping, arson and physical beatings.His arraignment on the new charges has not been scheduled. Prosecutors asked Friday that it be held at his final pretrial conference on April 25.Federal prosecutors allege the “I’ll Be Missing You” singer and Bad Boy Records founder used his “power and prestige” as a music star to induce female victims into drugged-up, elaborately produced sexual performances with male sex workers in events dubbed “Freak Offs.”Central to the case is a March 2016 video showing Combs hitting and kicking his then-girlfriend, R&B singer Cassie, in a Los Angeles hotel hallway. Prosecutors contend the assault happened during a “Freak Off.” Combs lawyers argue the footage was nothing more than a “glimpse into a complex but decade-long consensual relationship” between the two.Combs’ lawyers contend the case should never have been brought and are fighting to dismiss a charge involving allegations he transported a male escort across state lines.“The government has concocted a criminal case based primarily on allegations that Mr. Combs and two of his longtime girlfriends sometimes brought a third party — a male escort — into their sexual relationship,” Combs lawyer Alexandra A.E. Shapiro wrote in a February court filing.“Each of the three charges in the case are premised on the theory that this type of sexual activity is a federal crime,” Shapiro added.

Windows 11’s Start menu is getting redesigned again — and it’s not bad

Over the past few years, we’ve seen countless changes to the Windows 11 Start menu, including a brand-new “categories” view as well as the “companions” feature. But for some reason, there’s always some detail left to change, some other thing to tweak.The latest development on the Start menu front is that Microsoft is working on another major redesign for an upcoming Windows 11 update. The idea is that it will be possible to see and scroll through everything at once, with a Start menu layout that’s both longer and wider.Hidden in today's Dev/Beta CUs: a major update to the Windows 11 Start menu! It has a new, larger layout with everything on one scrollable page, with the "All" list below recommendations – which can FINALLY be turned off! Pinned list is now limited to 2 rows, but can be expanded. pic.twitter.com/JkP3V2I5g6— phantomofearth 🌳 (@phantomofearth) April 3, 2025Another improvement in the new Start menu is that it will finally be possible to switch off the recommendations, something that many users have been requesting.The revamped Windows 11 Start menu was spotted by @phantomofearth on that one social media site, who posted a short video showing what the new Start menu design looks like and how it works. It’s currently only available in the Dev and Beta versions of Windows Insider.

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol ousted by court

South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol ousted by court

South Korea’s Constitutional Court permanently removed President Yoon Suk Yeol from office on Friday, making him the country’s second president in Korean history to leave office through impeachment. Eight justices of the Constitutional Court unanimously voted to unseat Yoon for violating "the constitutional order” in his declaration of martial law on Dec. 3, Acting Chief Justice Moon Hyung-bae said in a ruling nationally televised live.Moon added that President Yoon violated his duty as the nation’s commander-in-chief when he sent troops to the National Assembly.The Parliament passed an impeachment motion in mid-December, accusing Yoon of violating the constitution and other laws by declaring martial law without justifiable reasons, suppressing assembly activities, attempting to detain politicians and undermining peace across the country.Following the ruling, Yoon was immediately ousted from office, becoming the second president in Korean history to leave office through impeachment, after former President Park Geun-hye in 2017. By law, the country must elect a new president within 60 days, which is by June 3. The country's financial markets recouped earlier losses on Friday after the verdict. The main Kospi index, which fell nearly 2% at its opening, traded down 0.7% after the court's decision. The Korean won has gained strength against the US dollar, trading 1,440.30 on Friday morning versus 1,452.20 on Thursday. SOCIAL UNREST AND POLITICAL TURMOIL The ruling comes 111 days after Korea’s Parliament impeached Yoon on Dec. 14, marking the longest impeachment process of a Korean president by the court. It took 91 days for former President Park to be permanently removed from office after the parliament’s decision.Domestic divides have deepened during the longer-than-expected deliberation process, said experts, forecasting the Korean society would navigate choppy waters for a while after Friday’s ruling. Yoon’s failed attempt to impose martial law angered millions of Koreans, with tens of thousands of people protesting in front of the National Assembly and across the country, calling for a Constitutional Court ruling against him as early as possible.Yoon’s loyalists have also taken to the streets in the past four months, demanding the reinstatement of Yoon’s powers. Following Friday's court decision, Han Duck-soo, the country's acting president and prime minister, will remain in office in the interim after returning to office in late March after the same court overturned Han’s impeachment. IT IS NOT OVER YETFriday’s ruling is, however, not the end of Yoon’s legal troubles. When the National Assembly passed the impeachment motion against Yoon in mid-December, lawmakers accused him of “betraying the public trust and abusing his constitutional authority to declare martial law, mobilizing government, military and police forces for an armed insurrection.” In January, Yoon became the country’s first sitting president to be arrested on rebellion charges connected to his imposition of martial law. He was released in early March but still faces criminal trials for the insurrection charges. By Sookyung Seo and In-soo [email protected] Nicholson-Breen edited this article.
