Meeks, a senior member of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), echoed remarks he made in an interview with The Hill on Thursday, when he said that those who try to come after CBC members could face their own primary challengers.

A second Republican announced Friday that he would launch a campaign challenging Ocasio-Cortez for her seat next year. No Democratic challenger to Ocasio-Cortez has yet to declare their candidacy.

BEAUREGARD, Ala. – President Donald Trump toured tornado-ravaged Alabama on Friday nearly a week after storms ripped through a small town there, killing 23 people.

The president touched down Friday in Lee County near where a massive tornado spun winds as high as 170 mph on Sunday. Trump had signed a major disaster declaration for the county earlier this week, freeing federal assistance to the region. 

“The people of Alabama, they got hit very hard by the tornadoes,” Trump said Friday.

Trump and first lady Melania Trump viewed the damage caused by the storm as they flew aboard Marine One. The president was expected to meet victims in Opelika, Alabama, and receive a briefing from the Lee County Emergency Management Agency.

As his motorcade wound through the county, Trump passed through entire neighborhoods that were destroyed, passing by empty lots with broken pieces of metal, wood and what appeared to be scattered clothing. 

“I saw this. And it’s hard to believe,” Trump said. “You saw things that you wouldn’t believe.”

Trump visited with the family of Sheila Creech and Marshall Lynn Grimes, who were killed in the storm. Trump hugged their survivors, and one member of the family showed him Grimes’s motorcycle vest and Bible.

Earlier, Conner Moulton, 7, carefully crafted each marker stroke as he signed a short message and on a banner thanking the president for coming to Beauregard. 

“I wrote the ‘Beauregard Strong’ and thank you for your help,” the second-grader said. “Then I put my first name and my last name. He’s helping the people who got affected and lost their homes in the tornado.”

Lana Ledbetter, a Beauregard resident who did not have any home damage but knew several people who did, came to the high school to put her mark upon the banner. 

“It’s just amazing that he’s showing his support for our little tiny community. We’re just very thankful for the funding and just for him taking his time to come and show that support for us.” 

Trump was accompanied on his Air Force One flight to Georgia by members of the state’s congressional delegation, including Sen. Richard Shelby and Rep. Mike Rogers, both Republicans.

Trump has made several trips to visit with the victims of natural disasters in recent months, including to California after last year’s wildfires and to the Carolinas following Hurricane Florence.

Trump tweeted about the storms on Monday, vowing that the Federal Emergency Management Agency would provide “A plus treatment” to the state.

Se cree que la visita puede tener lugar tan pronto como marzo.

El presidente de Estados Unidos, Barack Obama, prepara una histórica visita a Cuba que podría producirse tan pronto como el mes de marzo.

“Podemos confirmar que (este jueves) la Administración anunciará un viaje del presidente a América Latina, incluyendo Cuba, en las próximas semanas”, le confirmó un alto funcionario del gobierno a la BBC.

La visita de Obama a la isla será la primera de un presidente de Estados Unidos desde enero de 1928, cuando Calvin Coolidge viajó a Cuba. En 2011 el expresidente Jimmy Carter visitó la isla.

Sería además un paso simbólico en el proceso de acercamiento entre los dos países.

Cuba y Estados Unidos anunciaron el 17 diciembre de 2014 el restablecimiento de relaciones tras más de medio siglo de enfrentamiento ideológico.

El 20 julio de 2015, se reabrieron las respectivas embajadas y se reanudaron formalmente las relaciones diplomáticas.

Obama y Castro se reunieron en la Cumbre de las Américas de Panamá.

Obama ya había expresado su intención de ir a Cuba, pero había puesto como condición poder reunirse con disidentes y defensores de los derechos humanos.

El presidente estadounidense y su homólogo cubano, Raúl Castro, hermano de Fidel Castro, celebraron su primera reunión formal en abril de 2015 en la Cumbre de las Américas en Ciudad de Panamá.

Volvieron a verse en septiembre del mismo año con motivo de la Asamblea General de Naciones Unidas en Nueva York.

Como parte del progresivo acercamiento, esta semana se anunció que los vuelos comerciales desde Estados Unidos volverán a aterrizar en Cuba y que medio siglo después una empresa estadounidense se instalará en la isla.

Uno de los temas que sigue obstaculizando la normalización plena es el embargo económico y comercial que EE.UU. impuso a Cuba hace más de medio siglo. El levantamiento completo depende del Congreso, aunque Obama tomó medidas ejecutivas para flexibilizarlo.

Rodrigo Hurtado García y su hermana Nayelli, ciberactivistas de las cuentas “GuerraCruz” y “Veracruz en Red”, fueron encontrados el jueves por la noche, tras ser levantados por sujetos desconocidos en Veracruz.

En un comunicado, la Fiscalía de Veracruz informó que “grupos especializados en búsqueda y localización de personas de la Policía Ministerial se abocaron de inmediato a partir de la denuncia por la desaparición de N. N. H. G.”, en referencia a Nayelli Hurtado.

“En coordinación con las demás fuerzas que integran el Grupo de Coordinación Veracruz, ambos fueron localizados esta noche en la periferia de la ciudad (Veracruz) y puestos a disposición de la autoridad ministerial para que declaren en la indagatoria”, abundó.

“La Carpeta de Investigación sigue abierta para realizar el respectivo deslinde de responsabilidades”, finaliza la dependencia.

De acuerdo con E-Consulta, la sustracción de los hermanos que realizaban fuertes criticas al gobierno de Javier Duarte y al PRI, ocurrió en dos momentos diferentes durante esta semana. El  martes, Nayelli fue sustraída del cibercafé que administra.

En tanto, Rodrigo Hurtado fue levantado por personas vestidas de policías, desde las instalaciones del mismo cibercafé, agregó el medio local.

“Este es el costo por ser crítico de un gobierno represor“, tuiteó Rodrigo.

A group of 10 Republican senators sent a letter to President Joe Biden on Sunday proposing a smaller coronavirus relief package than his $1.9 trillion plan, and asking him to negotiate with them to find compromise on the issue of new Covid-19 stimulus efforts.

The number of signatories is significant, because any bill taken up under normal Senate rules would need at least 10 GOP backers in order to be successful. This renders the letter, in effect, an offer to work with Democrats to pass new stimulus measures — with certain conditions.

In the letter, the Republican lawmakers — a group that includes Sens. Mitt Romney of Utah, Susan Collins of Maine, and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, as well as other relative moderates — argued their proposal, which they promised to release in full on Monday, would be able to receive bipartisan support, given that it mirrors Biden’s call for $160 billion for coronavirus testing, tracing, treatment, and protective supplies.

The lawmakers also said their bill will include funding for direct payments to “families who need assistance the most,” a reference to some lawmakers’ desire to needs-test direct payments; assistance for small businesses and child care; and $4 billion for mental health and substance use.

They did not provide specifics, but the Washington Post reports the GOP proposal would cut the cost of new stimulus by $1.3 trillion, to around $600 billion, and that it would do so by making major cuts to a number of Democratic priorities.

For instance, Democrats have pushed for another round of direct payments of $1,400 to single people making $75,000 or less per year, and to couples making $150,000 or less. As Sen. Bernie Sanders pointed out on ABC’s This Week Sunday, Democrats promised there would be another round of direct payments of at least $1,400 if they won both Senate seats in January’s Georgia runoff races — and they did.

“You can’t campaign on a series of issues, and then, after the election, when you get power, say, ‘Oh, well, you know what, we’re changing our mind,’” Sanders said.

Accepting the new Republican proposal would force Democrats to do just that, however — it would reduce the direct payments to $1,000 per person, the Post reports.

And those payments would likely be sent out to a much smaller group of people under the new Republican plan. Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, one of the letter’s signatories, said on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday that direct payments should be capped at individuals earning $50,000, or families earning $100,000. “Let’s focus on those who are struggling,” Portman said.

Portman also said that the Democratic proposal to extend federal unemployment insurance — currently valued at $300 per week — through September was premature, and that that program should also be better targeted.

Democrats have proposed not just extending that program, but expanding it, by bumping up weekly payments to $400. The Post reports that the GOP plan envisions keeping the weekly allowance at $300, and extending the program, currently set to expire in March, until June.

The GOP plan also reportedly gets rid of the Democratic proposal to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour, and would likely reduce the amount of aid available to state and local governments.

The GOP signatories argue in their letter — and in television appearances Sunday — that their proposal will give Biden a chance to make good on his promise for “unity,” a theme of his inaugural address.

“In the spirit of bipartisanship and unity, we have developed a COVID-19 relief framework that builds on prior COVID assistance laws, all of which passed with bipartisan support,” the letter reads. “We request the opportunity to meet with you to discuss our proposal in greater detail and how we can work together to meet the needs of the American people during this persistent pandemic.”

And they claim that Democrats’ current plans to push their preferred proposal through Congress through a process known as reconciliation, which allows for legislation related to budgetary matters to be passed in the Senate with a simple majority vote (a majority Democrats now have due to their victories in Georgia), would — in Portman’s words — “poison the well” for any future attempts at bipartisan legislating.

State of the Union host Dana Bash asked Portman why he had supported Republicans using reconciliation to advance controversial legislation in the past, noting it had been used both in the Republican effort to destroy the Affordable Care Act and to pass Trump’s tax cuts into law. Portman replied that “reconciliation is not meant for the purposes that they are trying to use it for,” and argued Democrats should not use reconciliation as their first resort.

Democrats, however, have long been stymied in their efforts to pass a sweeping stimulus package, agreeing to a compromise bill in late 2020 after months of Republican refusals to consider a $3 trillion bill that passed the House in May 2020.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has said he is willing “to work with our Republican colleagues to advance” coronavirus relief, but that Democrats are “keeping all our options open, on the table, including budget reconciliation.”

What reception the new GOP proposal will receive from Biden remains to be seen. Appearing on State of the Union on Sunday, the director of the National Economic Council, Brian Deese, told Bash, “We welcome input to say where we may have not gotten everything right,” but argued, “The cost of doing too little right now far outweighs the cost of doing too much.”

There’s urgency to pass a new relief package as federal coronavirus programs face expiration

Given that many federal coronavirus programs are set to expire in the coming months, there is a need for urgency in work on the next round of stimulus. As Vox’s Emily Stewart has reported, delays in passing the last round meant coverage gaps for many of the unemployed.

Friday, Biden stressed the importance of getting a coronavirus stimulus bill passed, saying, “I support passing Covid relief with support from Republicans if we can get it, but the Covid relief has to pass. There are no if, ands, or buts.”

Given the House’s Democratic majority, and the fact that legislation can pass in that chamber by a simple majority vote, the Senate is where any difficulty in quickly passing aid will arise. There, Democrats have been faced with either finding 10 Republicans to support their proposal, compromising with moderate Republicans on a plan like that advanced by the 10 GOP senators on Sunday, or passing legislation through reconciliation.

For any of these routes to work in the Senate, Democrats would need to be a united front. As it stands, they hold the narrowest possible majority in the evenly-split Senate, with Vice President Kamala Harris serving as a tie-breaker.

And a united front is not a given, because there are some right-leaning Democrats in the Senate who have not fully embraced all the proposals in Biden’s plan, something that ABC’s Martha Raddatz asked Sanders about on Sunday.

Specifically, she asked Sanders about West Virginia’s Joe Manchin, who has said that bipartisan lawmaking is important to him and who has not offered full-throated support of a $15 minimum wage. He has also not said whether he would go along with Democrats if they choose to pursue reconciliation. Sanders expressed faith that “all Democrats understand the need to go forward” with coronavirus relief.

“The question is not bipartisanship, the question is how to address these crises right now,” said Sanders. “If Republicans want to work with us, they have better ideas on how to address those crises, that’s great. But to be honest with you, I have not yet heard that.”

Sanders added that there would be other opportunities for bipartisanship in the future, especially around issues like prescription drug reform and infrastructure. “But right now, this country faces an unprecedented set of crises,” he said.

One of the GOP letter’s signatories, Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy, suggested Sunday that Republicans hadn’t been given enough of a chance to work on a bipartisan agreement.

“If you want unity, you want bipartisanship, you ought to start with the group that’s willing to work together,” Cassidy said on Fox News Sunday.

As Republicans have pointed out, Biden has stated a desire to work with Republicans on legislation. But as Vox’s Ella Nilsen has written, Biden’s ambitions to work across the aisle and to pass his relief package may be at odds with one another — particularly given the more limited scale of relief the 10 GOP senators now propose.

And Democrats seem to believe that if they can only fulfill one of the president’s ambitions, the priority is on getting the package done. As Nilsen writes:

While Republicans in the bipartisan group are the ones advocating for cutting back on Biden’s Covid-19 bill, Democratic senators in the centrist group haven’t been as eager to scale back. Democrats remember that Senate Republicans used the budget reconciliation mechanism to pass their massive tax cut bill in 2017, and some in the Democratic caucus think they should give their priorities the same treatment now that they hold the majority.

Sanders, the Senate Budget Committee chair, and House Budget Committee Chair John Yarmuth have each told reporters their committees are working on drafting budget reconciliation resolutions for the Covid-19 relief bill, which could pass in a matter of days if Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi give them the green light.

Those reconciliation resolutions are now expected as early as this week. Republicans can also sign onto them if they so desire.

En las noticias más leídas del día, el astro brasileño, Neymar, quedó libre definitivamente de su contrato con el Barcelona para ir al París Saint-Germain tras pagarle directamente la astronómica cláusula de rescisión. Nicolás Maduro revirtió la decisión de Digitel y Movistar de incrementar las tarifas de sus paquetes, una acción que protege los bolsillos de los consumidores, pero que a la larga beneficia al chavismo porque la calidad de las comunicaciones con el exterior serán cada día más deficientes.

1. Maduro ahora abre un pulso contra Movistar en Venezuela

La noche del martes, Nicolás Maduro, abrió otro frente contra la iniciativa privada que opera en Venezuela.
Ahora va contra la industria de telecomunicaciones, por un alza de tarifas a los servicios de telefonía e Internet móvil que ejecutaron Movistar y Digitel el mismo martes como medida para enfrentar la hiperinflación de 176% que se come el poder adquisitivo de los venezolanos y una política económica que impide a las telefónicas generar divisas para sus casas matrices.

La medida se suma a otras acciones sobre empresas de capital privado, nacionales como extranjeras.

2. Millennials, un suculento mercado para los medios digitales

El ejército millennial ha llevado al éxito a los medios digitales, debido a su capacidad de compra, participación en la fuerza laboral y total integración con el mundo digital.

Esta generación que en la actualidad tienen entre 20 y 35 años de edad representa 34% de la población, según el Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía.

El Ranking de Medios Nativos Digitales se integra por varios medios enfocados en esta generación de internautas, que se distinguen por utilizar un lenguaje amigable, contenido explicativo, tutoriales, infografías, imágenes y animaciones de rápido consumo, aunque las tendencias más fuertes de estos medios son el video y las redes sociales.

Los millennials fueron una parte fundamental para la creación de contenido web y que hoy por hoy sigue marcando tendencia para los que vienen detrás de ellos.

3. 5 descensos de la confianza del consumidor en julio

Durante el mes de julio, el Índice de Confianza del Consumidor (ICC) aumentó mensualmente 1.8% con datos ajustados por estacionalidad, un repunte respecto a la caída de 0.2% del mes anterior, según datos del Instituto Nacional de Estadística y Geografía recabados de manera conjunta con el Banco de México. Pese a esos resultados, en algunos componentes se registraron caídas.

Según Banxico, se observaron incrementos mensuales con cifras desestacionalizadas en los cinco componentes que lo integran. Además, con cifras ajustadas por estacionalidad, en julio el componente correspondiente a la opinión sobre la situación económica de los integrantes del hogar en el momento actual frente a la que tenían hace 12 meses avanzó 1.9 por ciento.

4. Neymar tiene el camino libre para firmar con el PSG

Luego de incertidumbre, el astro brasileño, Neymar, quedó libre definitivamente de su contrato con el Barcelona para ir al París Saint-Germain tras pagarle directamente la astronómica cláusula de rescisión, informó este jueves en un comunicado el club catalán.

Los representantes legales de Neymar Jr se presentaron en las oficinas del club y han hecho efectivo, en nombre del jugador, el pago de 222 millones de euros en concepto de indemnización para la rescisión unilateral y sin causa del contrato.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said that Republicans in Congress stand by President Trump because they’re in a “hostage situation,” and that if a vote to impeach the president were to arise, she’d vote yes — “no question.”

Speaking to Rolling Stone in an interview published Wednesday, the freshman rep said Republicans are no longer “in the realm of politics,” and continue to support Trump, which she claims is “an unacceptable position.”

OCASIO-CORTEZ QUESTIONS COHEN ON TRUMP TAX DOCUMENTS, ASSETS

“There are a lot of Republicans that know what the right thing to do is — not just on impeachment but on a wide range of issues — and they refuse to speak up,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

Congresspeople who vote with the president, she argued, despite saying they don’t share his views, need to be held responsible.

“The problem is that if they vote the same way, what does it matter? I don’t care what’s in your heart if how you are voting is the same as someone who is actually racist. At the end of the day, they think that their intentions are gonna save them, but the actual decisions you make matter,” she told the news outlet.

“I am tired of people saying, ‘I’m gonna vote the same way as bigots, but I don’t share the ideology of bigots.’ Well, you share the action and the agenda of bigots. We need to hold that accountable.”

One of the youngest women elected to Congress, Ocasio-Cortez said that without question, she would vote to impeach the president.

“I don’t even know why it’s controversial. I mean, OK, it’s not that I don’t know why it’s controversial,” she said. “I understand that some people come from very tough districts where their constituents are torn. But for me and my community in the Bronx and Queens, it’s easy.”

New York City will require police officers, firefighters and other municipal workers to be vaccinated against COVID-19 or be placed on unpaid leave, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Wednesday, giving an ultimatum to public employees who’ve refused and ensuring a fight with some of the unions representing them.

The mandate affecting the nation’s largest police department and more than 100,000 other New York City workers – including trash haulers and building inspectors – carries a Nov. 1 deadline for getting the first vaccine dose, de Blasio announced.

Jailers on Rikers Island, where the city has been grappling with staffing shortages creating unsafe conditions, will be subject to the mandate on Dec. 1.

Of the workers affected by the new mandate, 71% have already received at least one dose of the vaccine, according to the city.

The city previously mandated vaccines for public school teachers and the state has previously mandated vaccines for hospital workers.

City workers who get their first shot by Oct. 29 at a city-run vaccination site will get an extra $500 in their paycheck, the mayor’s said. Workers who don’t show proof of vaccination by Oct. 29 will be placed on leave.

“There is no greater privilege than serving the people of New York City, and that privilege comes with a responsibility to keep yourself and your community safe,” de Blasio said in a statement.

De Blasio had been weighing a vaccine mandate for the police and fire departments and other city agencies for several weeks.

His announcement came amid new uproar over NYPD officers defying even simple measures, like wearing face masks. On Monday, two police officers were seen on video shoving a man out of a Manhattan subway station when he confronted them for flouting rules requiring they wear masks.

The NYPD’s vaccination rate has lagged behind the rest of the city, with some officers flat out refusing to get the shots. Unions representing officers, contending that getting the vaccine is a personal medical decision, have suggested they’ll take legal action to fight a mandate.

About 69% of the NYPD’s workforce is vaccinated, compared with 77.4% of adult New Yorkers who have been fully vaccinated. The NYPD has about 34,500 uniformed personnel and about 17,700 people in non-uniformed support positions.

More than 60 NYPD employees have died of COVID-19, including five patrol officers, eight detectives and the former chief of transportation. The fire department, whose EMTs and paramedics were working around the clock in the early days of the pandemic, lost 16 workers to the virus.

Police Commissioner Dermot Shea and fire Commissioner Daniel Nigro have said they support a vaccine mandate, with Shea telling reporters earlier this month that given the “emergency situation that we’re in, it makes sense.” Nigro said at a fire department memorial service, “I think it’s time.”

New York City’s mandate comes as other cities are starting to punish – and even fire – first responders who fail to meet vaccine requirements.

In Seattle, six police officers and 11 firefighters are slated for termination after that city’s vaccine mandate took effect Monday. Another 93 Seattle officers and 66 firefighters were sidelined Tuesday while seeking religious or medical exemptions.

Sergeant Randy Huserik of the Seattle Police Department told CBS News that detectives have been forced to pitch in and go on emergency calls.

“We have, over the last year and 10 months, I’ve had in excess of 300 officers separate from the department,” he said.

Meanwhile, in Spokane, Washington, firefighter Tim Archer joined about 20 other colleagues who have also been relieved for resisting the state’s vaccine mandate.

“I really felt like this is in violation of the civil rights that God has given us,” Archer told CBS News.

In Massachusetts, a police union said at least 150 state troopers are resigning over that state’s mandate. In Washington State, as of Tuesday, 127 state troopers have been fired for defying a vaccine mandate and another 32 have resigned or retired rather than getting vaccinated.

In Chicago, where city workers are required to log their vaccine status, Mayor Lori Lightfoot last week accused the president of that city’s police union of trying to “induce an insurrection” by encouraging officers to defy that requirement – even after the union’s former president died of COVID-19. The dispute is now in court.

Under an executive order signed by de Blasio last month, NYPD officers have either had to be vaccinated or show proof of a negative COVID-19 test each week.

The state has mandated vaccines for health care workers and people in New York City must show proof of vaccination to eat indoors at restaurants or to attend sporting events – or even play in them.

One of the city’s biggest basketball stars, Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving, has been banned from playing or practicing for refusing to get the vaccine. In barring the seven-time all star, the team cited New York City rules that pro athletes playing for a team in the city must be vaccinated against COVID-19 to play or practice in public venues.

De Blasio’s position on vaccine mandates has evolved.

He initially allowed public school teachers to get the vaccine or submit regular negative COVID-19 tests, but toughened the rule this summer by requiring all teachers to get a vaccine with no test-out option.

Thousands of teachers and other school employees got the vaccine in the days before the deadline, city officials said.

Earlier this month, the Supreme Court denied a challenge to the teacher vaccine mandate, showing a potential legal pathway for expanding the requirement to other city agencies.

Four Northeast Democratic governors are calling for the resignation of New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, following a report from the state attorney general’s office that he sexually harassed multiple women and retaliated against a former employee who complained. 

“We are appalled at the findings of the independent investigation by the New York Attorney General. Governor Cuomo should resign from office,” read the statement. 

It was signed by New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf, Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont, and Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee – all Democrats. 

Their names add to the growing list of people – including President Biden – calling for Cuomo’s resignation after the release of the investigation by New York Attorney General Letitia James. 

NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR WOMEN DEMANDS CUOMO RESIGNATION FOLLOWING SEXUAL HARASSMENT PROBE

The nearly five-month, non-criminal investigation, overseen by James and led by two outside lawyers, concluded that 11 women within and outside state government were telling the truth when they said Cuomo had touched them inappropriately, commented on their appearance or made suggestive comments about their sex lives.

Cuomo, meanwhile, has remained defiant, saying in a taped response to the findings that “the facts are much different than what has been portrayed” and that he “never touched anyone inappropriately or made inappropriate sexual comments.”

CLOSE

Michael Avenatti, who rose to fame as the lawyer for Stormy Daniels in her lawsuit against President Donald Trump, has been arrested and charged with extorting Nike, embezzlement and fraud.
Wochit, USA TODAY

Michael Avenatti promised to “disclose a major high school/college basketball scandal” that involves Nike at a news conference. The embattled attorney settled for dropping the names of Phoenix Suns rookie Deandre Ayton and University of Oregon standout Bol Bol via Twitter on Tuesday.

“Nike’s attempt at diversion and cover-up will fail miserably once prosecutors realize they have been played by Nike and their lawyers at (the law firm) Boies (Schiller & Flexner),” Avenatti wrote in one tweet. “This reaches the highest levels of Nike.”

Nike said in a statement Monday that the company “will not be extorted or hide information that is relevant to a government investigation” and it has “been cooperating with the government’s investigation into NCAA basketball for over a year.”

Avenatti wrote on Twitter that Nike officials “have not been cooperating with investigators for over a year. Unless you count lying in response to subpoenas and withholding documents as ‘cooperating.’ “

Nike did not have an immediate response to Avenatti’s latest claims when reached by USA TODAY on Tuesday. 

Avenatti was indicted Monday on federal charges in two states, including over allegations he ran a scheme to extort up to $25 million from Nike. He was arraigned Monday evening and released on a $300,000 appearance bond. 

Avenatti hinted that the mother of Ayton, the Suns’ top overall pick in last year’s draft, and others received “cash payments” from Nike.

In another tweet, Avenatti wrote “Bol Bol and his handlers also received large sums from Nike.” Bol Bol, the son of late NBA player Manute Bol, has played nine games this season with the Ducks.  The 7-foot-2 center suffered a season-ending foot injury, but has been traveling with the team.

Oregon made the Sweet 16 last weekend and will play Virginia on Thursday.

A message left by USA TODAY with Oregon seeking comment on Avenatti’s allegations was not immediately returned Tuesday.

A spokesperson for Boies, Schiller & Flexner declined to comment.

Avenatti also claimed in one of his tweets “corruption at Nike was rampant with Merl Code,” a former Nike employee. Code was among those linked to Adidas and charged in 2017 as part of the FBI investigation into a corruption scheme in men’s college basketball that led to the downfall of Rick Pitino at Louisville. 

Merl Code Jr., the former Clemson men’s basketball player who worked as an Adidas consultant, former Adidas executive James Gatto and business manager Christian Dawkins were convicted in October on conspiracy to commit wire fraud for their roles in funneling illegal payments to families of recruits to steer them to certain schools. 

“At this point, we are not commenting on Michael Avenatti’s rantings,” Mark C. Moore, Code Jr.’s attorney, told USA TODAY. 

Ayton taped over the Nike logos on his shoes during his one-and-done season at the University of Arizona last year. He signed a four-year deal with Puma last summer. 

Ayton and the Suns did not immediately respond to requests for comment. 

Suns coach Igor Kokoskov was asked about the allegation Tuesday but declined to comment specifically on Avenatti’s accusation.

“We can talk about basketball,” Kokoskov said. “We can talk about basketball questions and I’m going to stay away from that because I think I have nothing, I have no information to share with you guys.”

When pressed further if the Suns have talked to Ayton or if the rookie has spoken with the FBI, Kokoskov replied: “No comment. We had a basketball meeting. We talked about basketball today. We played a game last night.”

Ayton has previously denied allegations of receiving payments while he was a high school athlete being recruited by universities. He was widely considered to be the No. 1 high school recruit while at Hillcrest Prep Academy in Phoenix.

An ESPN report in February 2018 claimed the FBI intercepted telephone conversations in which Arizona basketball head coach Sean Miller talked about paying $100,000 to ensure that Ayton signed with the Wildcats. Miller has denied the report.
