Former FBI director James Comey admitted on Sunday that he was “overconfident” in the process used by the bureau to obtain a court-ordered wiretap of a former Trump campaign aide. However, Horowitz also concluded that the bureau made multiple errors when applying for a secret court order to obtain a wiretap of Carter Page, a former advisor to the Trump campaign. “I was wrong,” Comey said in an interview with Fox News Sunday. “I was overconfident in the procedures that the FBI and Justice had bui

Hallmark has reversed course on its decision to pull ads depicting same-sex couples from wedding website Zola. A Hallmark spokesperson said the lesbian couple’s public display of affection violated its policies, while the company reportedly told Zola it can’t accept controversial ads.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren took JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and the Business Roundtable to task in a new interview with CNBC’s John Harwood published on Monday over the business association’s August commitment to “redefine” the purpose of a corporation to extend beyond the maximization of shareholder profits. “If Jamie Dimon thinks it’s a good idea for giant corporations like JPMorgan Chase to have multiple obligations, he and I agree. Then let’s make that the law,” Warren said. The Massachusetts

John Harwood: You don’t think it was a lesson that the liberal Democratic equivalent shouldn’t go too far left? But I think that this notion of left – I don’t think there’s any such thing as a problem of government that works too much for the people. Elizabeth Warren: I see this as, what’s the best way to grow our economy going forward? Ultimately, I think that’s an economy that’s more sustainable and an economy where we’re going to see more growth. John Harwood: President Obama said recently th

American voters are nearly evenly divided over the impeachment of President Donald Trump, views that have gone unchanged since last month despite several weeks of long debates and public hearings, according to a new NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll. Forty-eight percent of voters are against the president’s impeachment, while 47% support it. “It’s like the hearings have never happened,” said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion.

Boeing 737 MAX airplanes, along with one Boeing 787 at top, are parked at Grant County International Airport October 23, 2019 in Moses Lake, Washington. Boeing could disclose as early as Monday a decision on whether further cut or suspend production of the 737 Max amid continued uncertainty about the beleaguered plane’s return to service, The Wall Street Journal reported on Sunday. Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg has said that suspending production could be “more efficient” than lowering output aga

Meanwhile, Take-Two’s plans for MLB 2K can be best described as having more money than brains. Take-Two shuttered original MLB 2K developer Kush Games and stuck Visual Concepts with the bag on a nine-months production schedule. MLB 2K13, best described as MLB 2K12 warmed under a heat lamp, was the last game in the series. Electronic Arts’ MVP engine was more than a generation old; maybe Konami (with the engine driving Pro Yakyuu Spirits) had a means of making an MLB game. In any event, no one co

Neal Khosla, founder of Curai, writes about some of the biggest challenges for digital health companies.

The company announced Sunday that “Frozen II” surpassed the $1 billion mark on Saturday, becoming the sixth movie from the studio to do so this year. Analysts had long predicted it would cross the billion-dollar mark, particularly after the fervor that followed the first film in the franchise. “Captain Marvel,” “Aladdin,” “The Lion King,” “Avengers: Endgame” and “Toy Story 4” have also surpassed the billion-dollar mark this year for Disney. “Frozen II” is now the seventh biggest animated release

Do Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Pete Buttigieg, Mike Bloomberg, and all the other Democrats running against Joe Biden really want to be president? If they answer truthfully, it sure seems like all of them would have to say they really don’t want to win. The widely reported figure is that Hunter Biden was paid $50,000 per month for that “job” despite not having any experience in the energy industry. They clearly don’t want to be seen as advancing President Trump’s efforts to get Ukraine to i

The top 10 highest domestic-grossing original movies in 2019 out-earned the top 10 in 2018 by roughly $50 million.

“If you win the World Series … the valuation goes up. The Cubs won [the World Series] in 2016, and since then their valuation has gone up well over $1 billion,” he said. The Houston Astros are an example of how a World Series win can excite fans and lead to a pop in revenue at the gate. Each year, they drew about 1.6 million fans, according to data provided by Baseball Reference. After their 2017 World Series win, they managed to attract more than 2.8 million fans next two seasons.

A Hallmark spokesperson said the lesbian couple’s public display of affection violated its policies.

We’ve hit a turning point: Oscar-worthy movies are coming to your living room nearly as quickly as they arrive in theaters. A year after showcasing Best Picture-nominated “Roma,” Netflix has made “The Irishman” and “Marriage Story” available to subscribers in November and December — around the same time they hit movie theaters — in preparation for awards season. “The Irishman” is the latest gangster movie from director Martin Scorsese, featuring veteran actors Joe Pesce, Robert DeNiro and Al Pac

Their goal: to come up with new ways to turn human waste into valuable resources, including renewable energy. In India alone the sanitation economy could be worth $62 billion by 2021, the Toilet Board Coalition estimates. Typical sanitation systems cost an average of $200 per person, but the Toilet Board Coalition sees a chance to transform that cost to a net value of $10 per person. To create a business, companies are finding ways to use and reuse resources, in this case human waste. Partnershi

U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer acknowledged on Sunday the White House had to make concessions in order to sign its USMCA trade agreement. “We had an election and the Democrats won the House,” he said, when CBS’ Margaret Brennan asked about wins the Democrats were claiming in their negotiation of the bill.

Grounded Boeing 737 MAX aircraft are seen parked in an aerial photo at Boeing Field in Seattle, Washington, July 1, 2019.
