Native American communities have been hit hard by COVID-19. But thanks to the Indian Health Service and strong partnerships with Tribal governments, organizations, and urban Indian groups, more than 500,000 vaccines have already been administered with more on the way.

SDNY adds a conspiracy charge against Stephen Calk, the bank CEO, accused of issuing $16m in loans to Paul Manafort to try to obtain a position in the Trump administration. The jury hung on those fraud counts in Manafort's EDVA trial. Calk pleaded not guilty to bribery charge.

I remember this guy.... He thought his 16 million loan to Manafort bought him the right to be Undersecretary to US Army... His trial was delayed last-min due to 30,000 docs found in a locked office used by Mueller in Sept 2020.

SDNY just superseded Steve Calk, the banker who attempted to bribe Manafort for a Trump job by giving him a loan he couldn't pay. His trial is currently scheduled for June 2.
