Trump administration says George Washington University broke law over treatment of Jewish students
The Trump administration said on Tuesday it had found George Washington University (GWU) in Washington, DC, violated US federal civil rights law in its handling of issues affecting Jewish, American-Israeli and Israeli students and faculty, according to Reuters. The US Department of Justice said GWU had been 'deliberately indifferent to the hostile educational environment for Jewish, American-Israeli, and Israeli students and faculty' during pro-Palestinian protests in April and May 2024. In a letter to university President Ellen Granberg, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon said the department found members of the university community had taken part in 'antisemitic, disruptive protests,' including setting up an encampment at University Yard. These actions, she wrote, were intended to 'frighten, intimidate, and deny' Jewish, Israeli and American-Israeli students access to the university environment. 'The Department finds that despite actual notice of the abuses occurring on its campus, GWU was deliberately indifferent to the complaints it received, the misconduct that occurred, and the harms that were suffered,' Dhillon wrote. Dhillon said the Justice Department planned to move forward with enforcement but was offering the university a chance to reach a voluntary resolution. GWU has until 22 August to say whether it is willing to take part in such talks. George Washington is the latest university targeted by the Trump administration, which has threatened to cut federal funding to institutions over pro-Palestinian protests against Israel's war in Gaza. Protesters, including some Jewish groups, told Reuters the administration wrongly links criticism of Israel's military actions in Gaza and its occupation of Palestinian territories with antisemitism, and advocacy for Palestinian rights with support for extremism.

‘Focus on being a DJ': Trump tears into Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon over tariffs
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday lashed out at Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, stating in a Truth Social post that he should 'focus on being a DJ' instead of running the bank. Trump accused Solomon and Goldman Sachs of making 'bad' predictions about the impact of tariffs on the US economy and markets. Contrary to their warnings, Trump said the tariffs had boosted the stock market, increased national wealth, and poured money into the Treasury — all without causing inflation. 'Trillions of dollars are being taken in on tariffs, which has been incredible for our Country, its Stock Market, its General Wealth, and just about everything else. It has been proven, that even at this late stage, Tariffs have not caused Inflation, or any other problems for America, other than massive amounts of CASH pouring into our Treasury's coffers… But David Solomon and Goldman Sachs refuse to give credit where credit is due. They made a bad prediction a long time ago on both the Market repercussion and the Tariffs themselves, and they were wrong,' Trump wrote. He argued that the burden of tariffs had largely fallen on companies and foreign governments, not American consumers, challenging the idea that US households ultimately pay for such measures. Earlier in the day, the economists at Goldman Sachs had released a note saying that the impact of additional levies 'on consumer prices were just starting to be felt.' In May this year, Solomon had warned of the negative effects of Trump's tariff policy on investment and growth. Speaking to Bloomberg TV, he said: 'The policy actions to date have raised the level of uncertainty to a degree I do not think is healthy for investment and growth.' Solomon added: 'And, as I'm talking to CEOs, as I'm talking to our clients, they are holding back on investment and they're certainly tightening their belt.' 'You're going to see some companies laying off employees and running their businesses tighter because of this level of uncertainty,' he continued. Solomon's comments reflected concerns among business leaders that prolonged policy uncertainty could reduce capital markets activity and slow economic growth.

Jimmy Kimmel and Donald Trump (File photo) for image caption American television host and comedian Jimmy Kimmel has revealed that he recently obtained Italian citizenship and is considering moving to Europe because he is scared of President Donald Trump , as reported by New York Post. Speaking on The Sarah Silverman Podcast, the 57-year-old late-night host said he is seriously thinking about leaving the US. 'I do have … I did get Italian citizenship. I do have that,' Kimmel said. Silverman noted that several outspoken Trump critics have already left the country. 'What's going on is … as bad as you thought it was gonna be, it's so much worse. It's just unbelievable. I feel like it's probably even worse than [Trump] would like it to be,' Kimmel responded. Jimmy Kimmel Plans Italian Escape After Trump Says He'll Be 'Canceled Next' Kimmel also addressed those who once supported Trump but have since changed their stance, using podcaster Joe Rogan by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like NRIs Living In Ukraine Are Eligible For INR 2 Lakh Monthly Pension.

While some reacted by telling Rogan he had no right to complain, Kimmel disagreed. He said people who change their minds or admit they were wrong should be welcomed, as doing so is difficult and rare. 'There are a lot of people … now you see these clips of Joe Rogan saying, 'Why's he doing this? He shouldn't be deporting people.' People go, 'F–k you, you supported him.' I don't buy into that. I don't believe 'F–k you, you supported him,'' he said. His remarks came shortly after Trump claimed that Kimmel and fellow host Jimmy Fallon could be the next to lose their jobs, following the reported cancellation of Stephen Colbert 's Late Show. Speaking about late-night television, Trump criticized the hosts, saying: 'Fallon has no talent. Kimmel has no talent. They're next. They're going to be going. I hear they're going to be going. I don't know, but I would imagine because they'd get — you know, Colbert has better ratings than Kimmel or Fallon.'
