Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick To Face New Federal Charges For Corruption and Racketeering
Read report below:
Kwame Kilpatrick faces brand new federal charges in the explosive corruption and racketeering case that has dogged the former Mayor of Detroit for the past four years since being formally charged with obstruction of justice, perjury and misconduct while in office. The latest reports state that Kilpatrick and a contractor pal shook down a city towing contractor to the tune of $90,000.
Bobby Ferguson, a close friend of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, was charged with seven counts of money laundering, according to a superseding indictment filed in U.S. District Court back in November.
This latest indictment follows a long list of charges against Kilpatrick, his father Bernard, other family members and even those from his former administration. With the prosecutors naming the group a criminal enterprise, the charges levied upon the so-called “Kilpatrick Enterprise” include racketeering, extortion, bribery, tax evasion and fraud.
Kwame Kilpatrick is due in court on September 6 this year.
The charges are related to Ferguson’s alleged attempts to conceal $1.7 million in extorted payments that he received for no-show work from a contractor. The indictment also offered a new, stunning allegation that Kilpatrick pocketed a $10,000 kickback in a restroom. Source

One of those lawyers said her charges were "outright fiction and wholly without merit." On Thursday, Feb. 9 -- the same day that our story ran online -- Paul Crouch and his son, Matt, were having a live chat on TBN's "Behind the Scenes." Paul was reminiscing about how TBN began back in 1973 -- God spoke to him as he was driving on MacArthur Boulevard -- and the conversation took a turn that Koper's attorney finds somewhat menacing.

Terry McMillan's 'Waiting To Exhale' Sequel Will Continue on Despite Death of Whitney Houston
We know that over a year ago, author Terry McMillan was trying to get the original cast together from her 1990's book to movie 'Waiting To Exhale' to do her sequel, 'Getting To Happy'. The last report we made was that every cast member had confirmed they would work on the sequel except Whitney Houston. Those cast members would be: Angela Bassett, Loretta Devine, and Lela Rochon. Terry McMillan was trying to confirm with Whitney but we never heard word that she would do the movie or not.
