Felix Sater, the Russia-born businessman with ties to President Donald Trump, is being sued by Mariah Carey’s former manager for allegedly creating an electronic backdoor to hack into the manager’s electronics and access confidential information about her celebrity clients, the Associated Press is reporting.
Stella Bulochnikov Stolper filed a lawsuit against Sater and his personal assistant, Kalsom Kam, in New York on Friday, seeking at least $1 million in damages and and for the pair to turn over any stolen material.
Stolper and Sater grew up together in Brooklyn and reconnected at a funeral in November 2017, eventually getting so close that she allowed him and Kam, to stay over at her Los Angeles home, according to the lawsuit.
Sater wanted Stolper’s help pitching his life story to Hollywood and took advantage of her “delicate emotional state” at the time and their shared history to spend more time with her, the lawsuit said.

US president says the timing of the Cohen hearing, while he was at the talks in Vietnam, was ‘a new low’ in politics
US president Donald Trump has blamed that the Democrats’ decision to interview his longtime fixer, lawyer Michael Cohen, on the same day as a meeting with Kim Jong-un for the fact that the North Korea summit ended with no deal.
“For the Democrats to interview in open hearings a convicted liar & fraudster, at the same time as the very important Nuclear Summit with North Korea, is perhaps a new low in American politics and may have contributed to the ‘walk.’” Trump said on Twitter, referring to his decision to walk away from what he previously said was a bad deal with Kim. “Never done when a president is overseas. Shame!”

Chris Grayling | Otto Warmbier | Michele Hanson | Words for toilet | A Beatles Brexit
The likely cost of £2.7bn to the taxpayer due to Chris Grayling’s incompetence will ring hollow to the parents of disabled pupils in Leicestershire and across the country, who have been informed that their council can no longer provide transport to special schools and colleges post-16 due to lack of funds. The implications for these families, who already face substantial additional burdens of care due to cuts in respite and other services, may place another group in the foodbank queue.

• If Donald Trump genuinely believes that Kim Jong-un did not know of the brutal treatment of Otto Warmbier which led to his death (Report, 2 March), has he asked Kim to investigate the matter? And if not, why not? Jeremy Beecham Labour, House of Lords

In a story to rival the plot of BlacKkKlansman, James Hart Stern takes leadership of America’s National Socialist Movement
They call him the “race whisperer”, a black civil rights activist able to manipulate some of the most noxious far-right figureheads in the US. Now James Hart Stern has triumphed again – and it is possibly his most extraordinary accomplishment to date. Stern, 54, has emerged as the new leader of one of the largest and oldest neo-Nazi groups in the US – the National Socialist Movement.
Stern said he had gradually wooed the group’s longstanding leader before eventually seizing control. “As a black man, I took over a neo-Nazi group and outsmarted them,” he said.
