U.S. Sens. Maggie Hassan and Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire are requesting that the Treasury Department provides guidance to states on uses of funds provided by the American Rescue Plan during the coronavirus pandemic.
The plan provided $350 billion in emergency relief to state and local governments that have been on the front-lines during the COVID-19 crisis. The senators wrote a letter Friday to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
They said impending budget deadlines, New Hampshire and other states require prompt guidance from Treasury regarding the eligible uses of state and local relief funds.
Ghislaine Maxwell s attorney had released a photo of her in prison with a black eye. It was the first photo released of the jailed British socialite since she was arrested last summer, according to a Crime Online report.
Maxwell s attorney, Bobbie Sternheim, attached the said photo that showed a bruise under the corner of her eye in a letter filed with the federal court case in Manhattan.
Sternheim s letter complained that guards had confronted Ghislaine Maxwell about her bruise and demanded to know how she got it. No guard addressed the bruise until Ms. Maxwell, who has no mirror, caught a reflection of her aching eye in the glean of a nail clipper, Sternheim said in the letter.
