Judge grants request for subpoenas in Shilo Sanders bankruptcy case

The creditor who is owed more than $11 million from Deion Sanders’ son, Shilo, won a ruling from a federal bankruptcy judge Thursday that authorizes the creditor to obtain records from third parties related to an incident between him and Shilo Sanders in 2015.

Bankruptcy Judge Michael E. Romero granted the request for the subpoenas, saying that the court finds that there is “good cause” for it. The subpoenas were requested by the creditor, John Darjean, a former security guard at Shilo’s school in Dallas.

Shilo Sanders, now an NFL rookie safety with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in October 2023 with more than $11 million in debt, almost all of it owed to Darjean.

The specific nature of the records that were requested by Darjean is not clear because the request is under seal and the judge’s order was redacted according to a protective order in this bankruptcy case. But the judge’s order pertains to a specific part of Shilo’s bankruptcy case that is all about an incident at Shilo’s school in 2015, when Shilo was 15 years old. The order also says it authorizes a subpoena for the “production of all records, investigations, and police reports” from a third party that is redacted in the court order.

Why is this happening?

Darjean claimed Shilo severely and permanently injured him in 2015 when he swung an elbow into his upper chest and punched him as Darejan tried to confiscate his phone at school. Darjean sued Shilo for damages in 2016 and won a $11.89 million default judgment against Shilo after Shilo didn’t show up for the trial in 2022. After Darjean moved to collect on the judgment against Shilo in 2023, Shilo filed for bankruptcy to effectively erase the judgment against him and get a “fresh start, free from the oppressive burdens of his debt,” as his attorneys said.

FBI moving 1,500 personnel from D.C., closing storied headquarters building: Patel

WASHINGTON − FBI Director Kash Patel announced in a Fox News broadcast Friday that he’s redeploying 1,500 FBI agents, analysts and other personnel from Washington to posts throughout the country, and shutting down the bureau’s storied headquarters because it is “unsafe for our workforce.”

Patel has talked frequently about moving FBI personnel out of the nation’s capital and even shutting down the J. Edgar Hoover FBI Building and making it into some form of a “deep state” museum.

But his comments to Fox News anchor Maria Bartiromo appear to be the most definitive to date in terms of his plans for the FBI and the building named after the bureau's longest-serving director.

Patel said that the FBI currently has about 11,000 of its 38,000 or so staff in the National Capital Region, a 50-mile radius around Washington, D.C.

It's like a third of the workforce. A third of the crime doesn't happen here. So we're taking 1,500 of those folks and moving them out,” Patel said. “Every state's getting a plus up.”

Patel didn’t say much about the plans to move the FBI headquarters, something prior FBI directors and Congress acknowledged needed to be done because of the decrepit condition of the building.

“I didn't know that I was going to do this, but I'm going to announce on your show anyway, this FBI is leaving the Hoover building because this building is unsafe for our workforce,” Patel said, surprising Deputy Director Dan Bongino, who was at his side for the interview. “But we want the American men and women to know if you're going to come work at the premier law enforcement agency in the world, we're going to give you a building that's commensurate with that, and that's not this place.”

Gene Editing Helped a Desperately Ill Baby Thrive. Scientists Say It Could Someday Treat Millions

A baby born with a rare and dangerous genetic disease is thriving after getting an experimental gene editing treatment made just for him

A baby born with a rare and dangerous genetic disease is growing and thriving after getting an experimental gene editing treatment made just for him.

Researchers described the case in a new study, saying he’s among the first to be successfully treated with a custom therapy that seeks to fix a tiny but critical error in his genetic code that kills half of affected infants. Though it may be a while before similar personalized treatments are available for others, doctors hope the technology can someday help the millions left behind even as genetic medicine has advanced because their conditions are so rare.

This is the first step towards the use of gene editing therapies to treat a wide variety of rare genetic disorders for which there are currently no definitive medical treatments,” said Dr. Kiran Musunuru, a University of Pennsylvania gene editing expert who co-authored the study published Thursday in the New England Journal of Medicine.

The baby, KJ Muldoon of Clifton Heights, Pennsylvania, is one of 350 million people worldwide with rare diseases, most of which are genetic. He was diagnosed shortly after birth with severe CPS1 deficiency, estimated by some experts to affect around one in a million babies. Those infants lack an enzyme needed to help remove ammonia from the body, so it can build up in their blood and become toxic. A liver transplant is an option for some.

Knowing KJ’s odds, parents Kyle and Nicole Muldoon, both 34, worried they could lose him.

“We were, like, you know, weighing all the options, asking all the questions for either the liver transplant, which is invasive, or something that’s never been done before,” Nicole said.

We prayed, we talked to people, we gathered information, and we eventually decided that this was the way we were going to go,” her husband added.

Within six months, the team at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia and Penn Medicine, along with their partners, created a therapy designed to correct KJ’s faulty gene. They used CRISPR, the gene editing tool that won its inventors the Nobel Prize in 2020. Instead of cutting the DNA strand like the first CRISPR approaches, doctors employed a technique that flips the mutated DNA “letter” — also known as a base — to the correct type. Known as “base editing," it reduces the risk of unintended genetic changes.

It’s “very exciting” that the team created the therapy so quickly, said gene therapy researcher Senthil Bhoopalan at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, who wasn’t involved in the study. “This really sets the pace and the benchmark for such approaches.”

In February, KJ got his first IV infusion with the gene editing therapy, delivered through tiny fatty droplets called lipid nanoparticles that are taken up by liver cells.

While the room was abuzz with excitement that day, “he slept through the entire thing,” recalled study author Dr. Rebecca Ahrens-Nicklas, a gene therapy expert at CHOP.

After follow-up doses in March and April, KJ has been able to eat more normally and has recovered well from illnesses like colds, which can strain the body and exacerbate symptoms of CPS1. The 9 ½-month old also takes less medication.

Considering his poor prognosis earlier, “any time we see even the smallest milestone that he’s meeting – like a little wave or rolling over – that’s a big moment for us,” his mother said.

Still, researchers caution that it’s only been a few months. They’ll need to watch him for years.

We’re still very much in the early stages of understanding what this medication may have done for KJ,” Ahrens-Nicklas said. “But every day, he’s showing us signs that he’s growing and thriving.”

Researchers hope what they learn from KJ will help other rare disease patients.

Gene therapies, which can be extremely expensive to develop, generally target more common disorders in part for simple financial reasons: more patients mean potentially more sales, which can help pay the development costs and generate more profit. The first CRISPR therapy approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, for example, treats sickle cell disease, a painful blood disorder affecting millions worldwide.

Musunuru said his team’s work — funded in part by the National Institutes of Health — showed that creating a custom treatment doesn’t have to be prohibitively expensive. The cost was “not far off” from the $800,000-plus for an average liver transplant and related care, he said.

“As we get better and better at making these therapies and shorten the time frame even more, economies of scale will kick in and I would expect the costs to come down,” Musunuru said.

Scientists also won't have to redo all the initial work every time they create a customized therapy, Bhoopalan said, so this research “sets the stage” for treating other rare conditions.

Carlos Moraes, a neurology professor at the University of Miami who wasn't involved with the study, said research like this opens the door to more advances.

“Once someone comes with a breakthrough like this, it will take no time" for other teams to apply the lessons and move forward, he said. “There are barriers, but I predict that they are going to be crossed in the next five to 10 years. Then the whole field will move as a block because we’re pretty much ready.”

Trump’s embrace of Syria and its jihadist-turned-president could shake up the Middle East


Interim Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, once known by his militant nom de guerre Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, met Trump in Riyadh six months after leading a swift campaign that toppled the half-a-century-old Assad regime, ejecting Iran-backed armed groups and declaring himself leader of the country.

Al Sharaa was placed on the US Specially Designated Global Terrorist list in 2013 for heading al Qaeda’s affiliate in Syria, known as Al Nusra Front, and allegedly orchestrating suicide bombings across Syria. The Saudi-born former jihadist had spent years fighting US forces in Iraq before moving to Syria to lead an armed Islamist rebellion that ousted the brutal dictator Bashar al-Assad.

The meeting, described by Syria as “historic,” was the first between a US and Syrian president in 25 years, taking place during Trump Middle East tour, the first set of state visits of his second term.

Both leaders were seen smiling in photos released by the White House and the Saudi foreign ministry. The Syrian foreign ministry said Trump committed to “standing by Syria at this critical juncture.”


A day earlier, Trump announced the removal of decades-old sanctions on Syria, a move that prompted a 40-second-long applause from the audience, including a standing ovation from the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Trump’s embrace of Syria and its jihadist-turned-president could shake up the Middle East

US President Donald Trump meets with Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Wednesday, May 14, 2025. 

Saudi State TV

CNN — 

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday had tea with a former jihadist who until recently had a $10 million US bounty on his head.

Interim Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa, once known by his militant nom de guerre Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, met Trump in Riyadh six months after leading a swift campaign that toppled the half-a-century-old Assad regime, ejecting Iran-backed armed groups and declaring himself leader of the country.

Al Sharaa was placed on the US Specially Designated Global Terrorist list in 2013 for heading al Qaeda’s affiliate in Syria, known as Al Nusra Front, and allegedly orchestrating suicide bombings across Syria. The Saudi-born former jihadist had spent years fighting US forces in Iraq before moving to Syria to lead an armed Islamist rebellion that ousted the brutal dictator Bashar al-Assad.

The meeting, described by Syria as “historic,” was the first between a US and Syrian president in 25 years, taking place during Trump Middle East tour, the first set of state visits of his second term.

Both leaders were seen smiling in photos released by the White House and the Saudi foreign ministry. The Syrian foreign ministry said Trump committed to “standing by Syria at this critical juncture.”


A day earlier, Trump announced the removal of decades-old sanctions on Syria, a move that prompted a 40-second-long applause from the audience, including a standing ovation from the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

“Oh, what I do for the Crown Prince,” Trump told the room on Tuesday, crediting the de facto Saudi leader for leading the effort to lift what the president called “brutal and crippling” sanctions. Syria has been designated by the US as a State Sponsor of Terrorism since December 1979.

Syria’s economy has been crippled for years by Western sanctions. Among the harshest is the US’ 2019 Caesar Act, which imposed wide-ranging sanctions that restricted individuals, companies or governments from economic activities assisting Assad’s war effort. The act rendered the entire economy untouchable. According to the World Bank, the country’s economy shrank by more than half between 2010 and 2020.

As of 2022, poverty was affecting 69% of Syria’s population, according to the World Bank. Extreme poverty affected more than one in four Syrians in 2022, the bank said, adding that this number likely deteriorated after a devastating earthquake in February 2023.

Gulf states have been keen to invest in Syria and prop up its economy but have been wary of violating US sanctions. Trump’s move is likely to remove such barriers, making way for potentially billions of dollars in investments

During the meeting, Trump proposed that Sharaa take a series of measures, including normalization with Israel, expelling foreign and Palestinian “terrorists,” and helping the US to prevent the resurgence of ISIS, according to the White House
Bringing Syria in from the cold gives a lifeline to the country’s fledgling regime and its president, who pledged in an interview with CNN last year that Syria’s armed opposition ultimately plans to form a government defined by institutions and a “council chosen by the people.” But it also presents an opportunity for Gulf Arab states and Turkey, which also pushed for sanctions to be lifted, to expand their influence in Syria and profit from it after decades of being left out of the country.

“The fact that he (Trump) did it so publicly and from Riyadh I think is a sort of tacit approval for those who are looking to invest in Syria potentially as well,” Natasha Hall of the Middle East Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) said. “(It) means that he is giving wins to Mohammed bin Salman.”

Oklahoma City Thunder stun Nikola Jokic, Denver Nuggets with wild Game 5 comeback

Oklahoma City Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault described his team's series against the Denver Nuggets as a "slugfest" prior to Game 5 on Tuesday.

And as the Thunder looked like it was down for the count, trailing by eight points to start the fourth quarter, it peeled itself off the canvas.

OKC launched a late comeback to secure a 112-105 home win, and it now holds a 3-2 lead in the second-round playoff series.

Here are four more takeaways from the game


Nikola Jokic looked like Nikola Jokic again

As soon as Jaylin Williams checked into the game for the first time with 37 seconds left in the opening quarter, he jogged over to Nikola Jokic and placed a hand on his back.

Williams wanted to let Jokic know he has there, and his presence had been felt throughout the series. His pesky defense had played a big role in the struggles of Jokic, who only shot 33.3% from the field (18.2% from deep) in Denver's last three games.

But with 6:49 left until halftime, Jokic put his foot down. Actually, it was his shoulder.

The three-time MVP barreled into the lane and leaned into Williams, who went flying across the hardwood. And after missing a chip shot, Jokic got the tip-in to fall.


There wasn't much that Williams or anyone else on the Thunder could do to contain Jokic. He finished with 44 points, 15 rebounds and five assists.

Chet Holmgren rushed over to provide some defense. But even his Go-Go-Gadget arms failed to deter Murray, who navigated around them for an and-one reverse layup.

The Denver guard then flexed his muscles and soaked in the sorrows of a frustrated Thunder crowd. That marked the start of a scoring spree by Murray, who erupted for 13 points during a span of just 3 minutes and 47 seconds early in the third quarter

Denver's lead ballooned from two points to nine, and it led by as many as 12 points in the quarter. But OKC gradually chipped away at the deficit throughout the rest of the night, and it ultimately completed the comeback.

He was locked and loaded, ready to fire away if given the ball midway through the fourth quarter. And that was probably a good idea.

Dort had already drilled two triples in the quarter. Each one breathed life into OKC, which felt like its season was on life support as it trailed in a pivotal Game 5.

Williams skipped a pass to Dort and watched as he unleashed a deep bomb. It found the bottom of the net, trimming Denver's lead to 92-90 and sending the crowd into a frenzy.

Dort came up clutch for OKC in the fourth quarter. He scored nine points to help the Thunder escape with a win.

OKC entered Tuesday with a chance to claim a 3-2 lead at home in its second-round playoff series.

Does that sound familiar? It should.

OKC was in the same position during its second-round playoff series against Dallas last season. But the Thunder suffered a 104-92 home loss to the Mavericks in Game 5, and it ultimately lost the series in six games.

It was a learning lesson for the young OKC squad, which passed the test this time around.

History didn't repeat itself, and now it's on the Thunder's side. Teams that win Game 5 of a 2-2 best-of-seven series have gone on to advance 81.3% of the time (191-44). 

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finished with 31 points, seven assists and six rebounds. Jalen Williams added 18 points and nine rebounds, while Holmgren chipped in 14 points and eight boards.

Game 6 will be at 8:30 p.m. ET on Thursday, May 15, in Denver

Mavs hit NBA Draft Lottery jackpot, land No. 1 pick: ‘We get a fresh start’

By Eric Koreen, Will Guillory, Mike Vorkunov and Zach Harper

CHICAGO — As NBA fans prepared for the ending to one of the most dramatic draft lotteries in recent memory, one of the people who most stood to benefit from the result was blissfully unaware of what was happening.

Dallas Mavericks owner Patrick Dumont was about to receive a welcome phone call.


He wasn’t following it in real time. He was at his kid’s track meet,” Dallas Mavericks chief executive officer Rick Welts said after his team cashed in on its 1.8 percent chance of winning the lottery, earning the chance to take Duke freshman Cooper Flagg. “(Former Mavericks owner) Mark Cuban called him to say, ‘Oh my God, we’re in the top four.’ (Later) Mark Cuban called him back and (said) … we won, but (Dumont) said Mark was screaming so loud he couldn’t tell exactly what Mark was saying.”

The Mavericks, of course, traded Luka Dončić in February, inciting some of the most vocal and persistent fan discontent in recent memory. Most of it was directed at general manager Nico Harrison. By losing in the Play-In Tournament, the Mavs assured themselves a spot in the lottery.

“Everyone, including Patrick, has been through a lot the past three months,” Welts said. “This is just such a moment of exhilaration, a breath of fresh air for the franchise. You really feel like we get a fresh start.”

This was the most chaotic possible result, but after deputy commissioner Mark Tatum announced the Charlotte Hornets would be picking fourth, there were only wild results remaining.

• The San Antonio Spurs, who won the 2023 lottery that yielded Victor Wembanyama, will pick second. They had a 6.0 percent chance of adding Flagg to Wembanyama and midseason acquisition De’Aaron Fox.

• The Philadelphia 76ers will pick third. The 76ers “won” last offseason by signing Paul George, only to end up fielding some of the worst lineups in the league down the stretch to maximize the chances of keeping their pick, which was protected only through the top six. The Oklahoma City Thunder, of all teams, would get the pick otherwise. Instead, the 76ers will get a lifeline, whether they want to return to competing immediately or build around Tyrese Maxey for the future.

While Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors might factor into the lottery, especially with the Spurs at No. 2, Flagg was a prize on his own, seen as more of a sure thing than most projected top picks.
While the Mavericks might be the franchise most in need of a PR win, getting it so soon is an example of comedy and drama converging.

“I’m willing to bet you’re talking to the only person who was in the room 40 years ago (when the New York Knicks won the 1985 draft lottery for Patrick Ewing),” Welts said. “I’ve been doing conspiracy theory stories for the last 40 years. I’m happy I was sitting down here (in front of the stage) and nowhere else.”

“This one was a crazy one,” Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri said. As a result of the Mavericks and Spurs jumping up, his team fell from seventh to ninth in the lottery. “I guess the lottery is real, then.”

Jayson Tatum Carried off Floor With Right Leg Injury and Celtics Star Will Have MRI

NEW YORK (AP) — Jayson Tatum was carried off the court with a lower right leg injury with 2:58 remaining in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals on Monday night.

The Celtics had just turned the ball over and as Tatum lunged forward toward the loose ball, his leg gave out and he went down. He buried his face in a towel in obvious pain while grabbing at his leg above the ankle after the non-contact injury.

The New York Knicks won the game 121-113 to take a 3-1 lead. The series resumes Wednesday in Boston with the Celtics needing to win to extend their NBA title reign.

Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla didn't know the extent of the injury and said the All-Star forward would undergo an MRI exam Tuesday.

“Obviously you’re always concerned about someone’s health. So it’s twofold,” Mazzulla said. “We’re concerned about his health, where he’s at, and we’re concerned about what we have to do better for Game 5 when we get back to Boston.”

Tatum scored 42 points, his high in these playoffs, before he was hurt. He buried his face in his hands as he was pushed down a tunnel in a wheelchair after leaving the floor.


An eight-year veteran, Tatum won his first NBA title last year when he led Boston to its 18th championship.
