Michelle Obama praises Barack Obama's parenting despite the ‘grandeur' of his job
Former first lady Michelle Obama shared it took a special effort to remain down-to-earth while parenting in the White House during her podcast on Wednesday. 'And it took a mighty effort to leave the grandeur at the door and to just be there and talk about fifth grade,' Obama said in a conversation with Bruce Springsteen on the latest episode of her podcast 'IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson,' which she co-hosts with her brother. Michelle Obama praised her husband, former President Barack Obama, for being a good parent despite the 'grandeur' of his job. 'I think Barack is just like you as a tremendous father, doing it in a lot of grandeur, right,' Obama told Springsteen. 'Yeah, you're the commander in chief of the United States of America. And so finding that balance of, you know, when you've got the nuclear code in your grasp and world leaders calling you and big, important, heavy decisions coming at you every day and valets and aides and on and on, and security, and oh, it's just all grandeur.' She added that it was 'important' that both she and her husband were present to their daughters, Sasha, who recently turned 24, and Malia, 26. 'Trying to wipe all that stuff away and leave it at the door before he would enter the residence of the White House to sit at a dinner table with his two daughters and only talk about them. It was important for both of us, for me and Barack, to carve out that time in those eight years when our girls were in their formative years, you know,' Obama said. 3 On the latest podcast episode of 'IMO with Michelle Obama & Craig Robinson,' the former first lady says a certain kind of dedication is needed to maintain a normal sense of parenting during the Obamas' time in the White House.

UPI 3 The first lady mentioned how important it was for both parents to be involved in their children's lives despite the challenges that came with living in the White House. REUTERS Springsteen, who recently released a six-track digital extended play (EP) which included songs that were critical of President Donald Trump's administration, agreed with Obama that it can be a challenge to stay grounded. 'Even in my job, you know, it's like, hey, you're on the road, you are the king,' Springsteen said. 'You go home, hey you're the chauffeur. You know, making that transition can be funny, you know, and everybody has some version of that, that you need to transition into your domestic life and to be able to transition into their domestic life, and to understand who you are there and to identify.'

After alleged juror threats, jury finds Harvey Weinstein guilty of sexual assault
June 11 (UPI) -- Former movie mogul Harvey Weinstein is guilty of sexual assault, a New York jury determined Wednesday amid courtroom chaos when a juror allegedly threatened another. The Manhattan Supreme Court jury of seven women and five men found Weinstein, 73, guilty of sexually assaulting Miriam Haley but acquitted him of the same charge regarding Kaja Sokola, the New York Daily News reported. The jury delivered the split verdict following five days of deliberations. Still to be decided is a charge of third-degree rape of accuser Jessica Mann, who said Weinstein raped her in 2013. Haley and Sokola said Weinstein performed oral sex on them with force and without their permission in separate instances in 2006. A courtroom outburst preceded the reading of Wednesday's verdicts, when a juror reportedly yelled at another: "I'll meet you outside one day." The outburst spurred Weinstein's legal team to request a mistrial, including attorney Arthur Aidala, who accused the juror of criminal "menacing and harassment." Weinstein sat in a wheelchair during the six-week trial after recently undergoing emergency surgery on his heart in September. He also was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer in October. After the outburst inside the courtroom, Weinstein told Justice Curtis Farber the jury's actions make it impossible for him to get a fair trial. "We've heard threats. We've heard intimidation. We've heard fights," he said. "This is not right for me, the person that's on trial here." The jury foreman told Farber some jurors were "attacking" each other and said, "I can't go back in there with the other jurors." The foreman first notified the judge of problems among jurors on Monday and said the situation "isn't very good." Farber asked the jury to deliver its partial verdict and told the jurors to go home early to give them time away from each other before resuming deliberating the remaining charge on Thursday. The guilty verdict for sexual assault could put Weinstein in prison for up to 25 years, minus time already served after a 2020 conviction on the charge. Weinstein has maintained his innocence and said all sexual encounters were consensual. A jury trial in 2020 found Weinstein guilty on all charges against him, but an appellate court last year overturned the verdict due to testimony by witnesses regarding unrelated events and allegations. Weinstein co-founded Miramax and won an Oscar for producing "Shakespeare in Love." He also produced award-winning films "Pulp Fiction," "The English Patient" and "Good Will Hunting," among others.
