Kanye West Briefly Unbanned On Twitter, FBI Might Probe His Presidential Campaign

by

One of the most persistent aspects of Kanye West’s past few years was his ban on Twitter for controversial statements. However, it seems that Elon Musk’s “X” rebrand also came with some user changes and reinstatements. Moreover, the platform unbanned the Chicago artist’s account, though it’s unclear if he will use it at all. Of course, it shouldn’t be too surprising to see Ye rant and ramble about whatever pops into his head again. Still, recent reports of a potential FBI probe into his presidential campaign might compel him to hold his tongue. Also, it looks like Twitter re-suspended his account, so that didn’t last long.

Furthermore, Radar Online reportedly spoke to Kanye West’s 2024 campaign committee treasurer Devin White and attorney Bruce Fein. During their talk, they alleged that the Federal Bureau of Investigation might look into Milo Yiannopoulos, the Yeezy mogul’s on-and-off-again campaign manager. The right-wing pundit is a U.S. resident alien on O-1 visa status, and this forbids him from formally working on a campaign.

Kanye West’s (Brief) Unbanning On Twitter

“Commission regulations prohibit foreign nationals from directing, dictating, controlling, or directly or indirectly participating in the decision-making process of any person (such as a corporation, labor organization, political committee, or political organization) with regard to any election-related activities,” the Federal Electoral Commission states. “This prohibition includes advances of personal funds, contributions or donations made to political party committees and organizations, state or local party committees for the purchase or construction of an office building funds under 11 CFR 300.35, and contributions or disbursements to make electioneering communications. Foreign nationals are also prohibited from, directly or indirectly, donating to an inaugural committee; and it is a violation of federal law to knowingly accept such donations from a foreign national.” What’s more is that this could spell out deep trouble for Kanye West, which Fein and White claim to have warned him of.

“He’s a foreign national,” Fein told the outlet. “You cannot take any services from a foreign national. It’s a criminal violation, not civil- a criminal violation! It’s a felony, it’s not a minor offense. This is not an obscure provision in the election law.” Meanwhile, White added: “We believe it would be virtually impossible at this point for [Kanye] not to be aware of that unless he is somewhere where he is incapacitated.” For more news and the latest updates on Kanye West, stay logged into HNHH.

Young Thug Trial’s Judge Orders Probe Of Leaked Evidence

by

Judge Ural Glanville ordered a probe of leaked evidence in the RICO trial of Young Thug and YSL. Moreover, the evidence in question is a surfaced video of a state’s witness offering information in the case in exchange for leniency. Now, the judge ordered an investigation into how that video spread across social media like wildfire. “It affects everyone’s right to a fair trial,” Glanville told attorneys. “I don’t know who did this but if this pertains to you, please amend your ways. You’re playing a very dangerous game with your six-digit bar number.”

Furthermore, jury selection in the developing case is still ongoing, and will reportedly last several months. Following multiple delays and a host of other courtroom and prison incidents, this trial seems no closer to getting started. In fact, the process began over two months ago, and it seems like every week there’s more time added to the estimate. Still, Judge Glanville urged prosecutors and defense attorneys on Wednesday (March 1) to keep evidence secret until the trial. Not only that, but the trial process itself is expected to take anywhere from six to nine months to complete.

Judge In Young Thug Trial Orders Probe Into Leak

Meanwhile, the leaked interrogation video in question surfaced about two weeks ago and was tied to YSL affiliate Lil Woody. Gina Bernard, attorney of codefendant Jayden Myrick, filed a motion seeking a mistrial which Glanville ultimately denied. Moreover, she claimed that publicity and previous altercations make a fair trial impossible for her client. However, the prosecution alleges that the defense leaked the video, as it surfaced less than a month after they gained access.

“The state has absolutely no interest in leaking this video to members of the public,” prosecutors wrote. “Its dissemination serves only to intimidate and harass witnesses called upon by the state to testify in a very serious and high-profile case.” Furthermore, they said that the video put their witness in danger, as many threw out accusations of snitching and rat behavior. Still, defense attorneys maintained that, since prosecutors shared the clip with an unsecured link, anyone could’ve leaked it. Also, Glanville warned that if further leaks occur, he will restrict discovery evidence for viewing in his chambers. Regardless of your take, come back to HNHH for the latest on the YSL case and Young Thug.
