“Ballroom construction is continuing unabated until June 5th at the earliest because the injunction is on hold. We have always acknowledged the utility of a larger meeting space at the White House. Building it lawfully requires the approval of Congress, which the administration could seek at any time.” National Trust for Historic Preservation President and CEO Carol Quillen

Three people were sentenced to jail in an insurance fraud scheme that involved dressing up as a bear and staging fake attacks.
Alfiya Zuckerman, 39, Ruben Tamrazian, 26, and Vahe Muradkhanyan, 32, pleaded no contest to felony insurance fraud (injuring or destroying insured property) in the "Operation Bear Claw" investigation. The scheme involved the suspects claiming a bear entered their 2010 Rolls-Royce Ghost and destroyed the interior, according to a California Department of Insurance (CDI) news release.
After their November 2024 arrest, each was sentenced to 180 days in jail and two years of supervised probation on Thursday, April 16. Zuckerman was ordered to pay $55,360 in restitution; Tamrazian, $52,268; while Muradkhanyan's restitution amount is still being determined.
A fourth suspect, Ararat Chirkinian, 39, is scheduled to return to court for a preliminary hearing in September 2026.
