Prosecutors said Haspil had been hired as an assistant for Saleh, whose ventures included a ride-hailing motorcycle startup in Nigeria, but quickly began to siphon money from Saleh’s businesses.

That's a painfully clumsy sentence. Has AP no editors?

The big mistake would be imagining that Ford or other giant corporations ever gave a damn about diversity, equality in the workplace, etc.

What an unwiped asshole. I certainly hope his teaching accreditation is yanked as well.

Agreed 105%, plus it's also just plain stupid. Nobody within half a mile of Trump's inner circle has any real competence, so the idea that any/all of them could successfully pull off a faked assassination is probably more absurd than flat earthers telling us the moon landing was rigged.

I'm not from Minnesota and know nothing about Don Samuels or this primary, but anyone who'd run against Ilhan Omar is probably a garbage human.

It's a two-mile drive from Interstate 5 to the West Seattle Bridge.

I can understand how a new reporter hired from out of town might have such a boneheaded mis-grasp of the city's geography, but how does it get past an editor and make it into print?
