Chicago museum director stripped mid-air after booze and pills, but still has his million-dollar role
The Art Institute of Chicago's director, James Rondeau, is set to return to his position Monday after being temporarily sidelined due to a bizarre and embarrassing incident on an international flight that saw him reportedly strip naked mid-air. Rondeau, who earns more than $1 million annually as the museum's highest-paid employee, was detained by German authorities on April 18 upon landing in Munich. According to reports, he became intoxicated after consuming alcohol and prescription medication, eventually disrobing in-flight aboard a United Airlines flight from Chicago. The 55-year-old museum chief was taken into custody by German police after the plane touched down, sparking an internal crisis at one of the nation's most respected art institutions. Rondeau later took a voluntary leave of absence while the museum launched an independent investigation into the incident. 'I deeply regret this incident' In a statement released through CBS News, Rondeau expressed remorse for the ordeal, "I deeply regret this incident and the impact it has had on the museum and me and on my colleagues. I have dedicated the past 27 years of my professional career to the Art Institute and I am grateful to have the opportunity to continue furthering its mission." Despite the public embarrassment, the Art Institute has decided to reinstate Rondeau, citing confidence in his leadership. Museum backs director's return "Board leadership of the Art Institute of Chicago has conducted an independent investigation of this incident and is confident in James Rondeau's leadership and ability to continue as the president and director of the museum," a museum spokesperson told CBS News. Rondeau has been with the Art Institute since 1998, when he began as an associate curator. He was appointed president and director in 2016, overseeing the museum's vast collection of more than 300,000 artworks.

Trump has claimed the editing was done to advantage Harris, which CBS with the effort to dismiss the case, Paramount is engaged in settlement discussions with Trump. The prospect of a settlement has so rattled CBS News that two of its top executives have resigned in protest.

CBS said each reply came within Harris' long-winded answer to Whitaker, but was edited to be more lawyer, Edward Andrew Paltzik, said that 'this led to widespread confusion and mental anguish of consumers, including plaintiffs, regarding a household name of the legacy media apparently deceptively distorting its broadcasts, and then resisting attempts to clear the public described as a 'media icon' by his lawyers, was 'forced to redirect significant time, money and effort to correcting the public record,' he and controlling shareholder Shari Redstone are seeking the settlement with Trump, whose administration must approve the company's proposed merger with Skydance Media.

Elon Musk-Trump bromance over? Tesla CEO's first major public disagreement with President sparks buzz
Elon Musk steps down from Trump team after criticising 'big or beautiful' spending bill Tech mogul Elon Musk said he was "disappointed" by a big spending bill passed by House Republicans last week, which is strongly supported by US President Donald Trump. In an interview with CBS News, Musk voiced sharp criticism of the administration's latest spending proposal, dubbed the 'One Big Beautiful Bill", what could be seen as major public disagreement with President Trump. "I was disappointed to see the massive spending bill, frankly, which increases the budget deficit, not just decreases it, and undermines the work that the DOGE team is doing," Musk said, appearing to distance himself from President Trump's latest legislative push. The measure, which still awaits Senate approval, would extend Trump's 2017 tax cuts, ramp up border spending, slash clean energy credits, and enforce Medicaid work requirements. ALSO READ: Why Melania Trump's $40 million documentary deal with Amazon has sent Hollywood into a tizzy The comments of Musk appear to put him at odds with Trump, who has championed the massive spending package. The tax provisions of the package, titled the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" after Donald Trump's name for the bill, would increase the deficit by $3.8 trillion by 2034, according to the Congressional Budget Office."I think a bill can be big or it can be beautiful," Musk told CBS News, "but I don't know if it can be both. My personal opinion." In the early months of the Trump administration, Musk maintained a near-constant presence, with his DOGE staffers rapidly moving through nearly every government agency to implement broad budget cuts. This aggressive approach sparked concern among Democrats, some Trump allies, and led to numerous legal challenges. Musk — who also serves as CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and the social media platform X — has since stated that he plans to scale back his involvement in government affairs.

What you need to know A the heart of Elon Musk's criticism is the proposed extension of Donald Trump-era tax cuts from 2017, which are set to expire this year. A May 22 report from the University of Pennsylvania estimates that the extension could widen the primary deficit by $2.8 trillion over the next decade—contradicting Donald Trump's earlier campaign promises to reduce the federal deficit. The market reacted swiftly, with long-term US bond yields hitting their highest levels since 2007, reflecting growing investor concern over the country's ballooning debt, which now exceeds $36 Musk's criticism comes amid a challenging period for his business ventures. Tesla's April sales fell to their lowest in three years, prompting Elon Musk to reduce his involvement in DOGE to refocus on his Tesla CEO has said he will step back from his role with the Trump administration's cost-cutting team known as Doge. Trump has said it has long been the plan that Musk would soon step away, but the news came as the billionaire's car business saw earnings plunge. President Donald Trump reinforced the message that the administration was preparing for Musk's departure.

"He's a great patriot, and [that] should have never happened to him," Trump has been designated a "special government employee" (SGE) – a label that allows him to work at a paid or unpaid government job for 130 days each to a 2007 Department of Justice memo, cited in an October 2024 guidance document from the Office of Government Ethics, any day on which an SGE performs any work for the government counts as a full day towards that limit.
