Lai Jailed, Bannon Cleared, Kimmel Feuds

Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai was sentenced to 20 years in prison on Monday after being found guilty of violating China's national security law, according to NPR. The 78-year-old activist and publisher received the sentence from a Hong Kong court, as reported by NPR's Emily Feng.

The sentencing followed Lai's conviction late last year. The details of the specific charges and the nature of the national security law violations were not immediately available in the provided sources.

In other news, according to Variety, Dan Bongino is returning to Fox News as a contributor. He is scheduled to appear on "Hannity" to discuss the case of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, who has been missing.

Also, Bill Maher revealed on a recent Club Random podcast that Jimmy Kimmel is very upset with him after Maher called out Kimmel's wife for cutting ties with family members who support Donald Trump, according to Variety. Maher stated that they "may never talk again."

Meanwhile, the U.S. government's oil blockade of Cuba continues to impact the island nation. According to Time, the blockade has caused a severe energy crisis, leading to rolling blackouts, strain on hospitals, and the grounding of jets. Cuban aviation authorities notified international airlines that refueling services would be suspended for a month due to a lack of jet fuel, and Air Canada has suspended its service to the island as a result. The blockade was initiated by President Donald Trump, who signed an executive order last month imposing tariffs on any country selling or providing oil to Cuba, a communist government.

Finally, the Justice Department is seeking to dismiss the criminal case against Steve Bannon, according to CBS News. The U.S. Attorney cited the interests of justice and Bannon's lack of opposition to the dismissal, despite his prior conviction for contempt of Congress related to his non-compliance with the House Jan. 6 committee's subpoena.
