Two-time F1 world champion Emerson Fittipaldi is in financial trouble, with multiple creditors chasing down the Brazilian who is being accused of hiding his assets in the US.

According to a report from the Folha de Sao Paula newspaper, Fittipaldi’s creditors have initiated 145 legal cases in a bid to recoup an aggregated amount of approximately €8.6 million in recievables.

Furthermore, Safra Bank – Fittipaldi’s largest creditor – is accusing the F1 legend and two-time Indy 500 winner of concealing his true assets and living a luxurious life in Florida, in the United States, while fraudulently avoiding his financial obligations in his home country.

In one of the lawsuits, according to Folha de Sao Paulo, the 73-year-old driver claimed that he did not have the funds to pay court costs estimated at €2,000.

“Fittipaldi today is close to living in misery”, wrote his lawyer Donato Sato de Souza in a 2019 petition.

Fittipaldi responded to the allegations through his lawyers who rejected the accusations.

The 14-time Grand Prix winner previously found himself in dire straits in 2016 when Brazilian creditors seized assets that included his 1989 Indy 500 winning race car, his 1976 Copersucar F1 car, and numerous trophies from his private museum in Sao Paulo.

Mississippi’s Democratic attorney general holds a slight lead over the state’s GOP lieutenant governor in a potential gubernatorial match-up.

A new Mason-Dixon poll found that 44 percent of people said they would support Democratic Attorney General Jim Hood, compared to 39 percent who said they would support GOP Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves.

Hood also leads Reeves in name recognition and favorability, according to the poll. Seventeen percent of respondents said they are undecided between the two potential candidates.

Neither has filed yet for the 2019 race, but both are expected to run to replace Gov. Phil Bryant (R), who is in his second and final term.

If a Democrat were to win the race, it would be the first time the state has seen a Democratic governor in 16 years. Trump won the state by 18 points in 2016.

The poll was conducted by telephone from April 12-14 and got responses from 625 registered voters in Mississippi. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percentage points.

One candidate, Liuba Grechen Shirley, a New York Democrat running for the House, is petitioning the FEC to allow the use of campaign funds for child care costs while she runs for office.

Marc Elias, who serves as counsel to Clinton, filed comments with the FEC on Thursday, expressing support for Grechen Shirley’s petition. 

Elias wrote that denying Grechen Shirley’s request would “discourage young mothers from seeking elective office, and deprive parents of ordinary means of the opportunity to serve.”

“Such payment is absolutely necessary to the responsible pursuit of her candidacy,” the comments read.

“Well, we’re going to find out what happens in West Virginia tonight, and I may have more to say about that tomorrow,” McConnell told reporters when asked if Blankenship’s ads are “racist.” 

Blankenship has made McConnell his primary target during the West Virginia Senate Republican primary. He told a West Virginia radio station last month that McConnell could be biased because the father of his wife, Transportation Secretary Elaine ChaoElaine Lan ChaoTrump campaign launches Asian Pacific Americans coalition Bottom line Democrats to probe Trump’s replacement of top Transportation Dept. watchdog MORE, is a “Chinaperson.”

Blankenship has doubled down on his comments since then, including a controversial ad where he said McConnell has helped create jobs for “China people” and received money from his “China family.”

Chao was born in Taiwan. Her parents emigrated from China to the United States and founded an international shipping company.

McConnell previously dismissed Blankenship’s “Chinaperson” comment as “ridiculous.”

“My father-in-law is an American, who lives in New York. Works in New York. And I don’t have any comment about ridiculous observations like that,” McConnell told Fox News late last month.  

Republicans are keeping a wary eye on Tuesday’s West Virginia primary, where Blankenship appears to have momentum as voters head to the polls.

“You, yourself, also spread fake news against me. Your interference in the West Virginia election displayed a lack of understanding of the likely outcome of the upcoming general election,” Blankenship wrote in an open letter to Trump. 

Blankenship added that while he shares many of Trump’s views, “I refrain from taking positions based on fake news and swampers’ rhetoric. You, of all people, should also refrain from doing so.”

Congressional Democrats are seizing on the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) decision to not defend key parts of ObamaCare in court, signaling they think the issue could pay political dividends in November. The DOJ, as part of its announcement late last week, argued the law’s protections for people with pre-existing conditions should be invalidated because the individual mandate that required people have insurance or pay a penalty is now repealed. Despite a flurry of North Korea news on Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Charles SchumerChuck SchumerOvernight Health Care: US showing signs of retreat in battle against COVID-19 | Regeneron begins clinical trials of potential coronavirus antibody treatment | CMS warns nursing homes against seizing residents’ stimulus checks Schumer requests briefing with White House coronavirus task force as cases rise Schumer on Trump’s tweet about 75-year-old protester: He ‘should go back to hiding in the bunker’ MORE (D-N.Y.) started his weekly news conference with reporters by talking about health care, saying his caucus would not be “diverted.”  ADVERTISEMENT”Democrats have not and will not lose sight of the fact that the Trump administration and the Republican Congress have systematically worked to sabotage our health-care system. … If you ask the American people the number one issue they care about it’s health care, not anything else,” Schumer said. Schumer said the DOJ’s decision was “shameful” and Democrats will try to force health care-related votes on the Senate floor throughout the summer.  “This November, Americans will go to the polls knowing that President TrumpDonald John TrumpSenate advances public lands bill in late-night vote Warren, Democrats urge Trump to back down from veto threat over changing Confederate-named bases Esper orders ‘After Action Review’ of National Guard’s role in protests MORE and Republicans in Congress have spent two years dismantling the nation’s health-care system.
