After George Floyd was killed under a Minneapolis police officer’s knee, reporters at The Associated Press wanted to know how many other people died following encounters in which law enforcement used not firearms but other kinds of force that is not supposed to be fatal. The U.S. government is supposed to track these non-shooting deaths, but poor implementation and inconsistent reporting from local law enforcement agencies mean no one really knows the scope.

With Wall St set for its final trading day of a bumper first quarter, the Federal Reserve seems in "no rush" to lower interest rates just yet - buoying the dollar as other central banks chomp at the bit. Fed Governor Christopher Waller set the tone for the Easter break on Wednesday indicating the central bank was being patient rather than hesitant in lowering borrowing costs this year.

U.S. President Joe Biden's campaign has pulled in more money ahead of November's election than that of his Republican rival Donald Trump, which analysts attribute to Biden's incumbent status and support from Democratic predecessors. That support will be on full display Thursday at a fundraising event for Biden in New York City, where former Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, both prominent Democrats, will be in attendance. Biden's campaign committee is outraising Trump in both money raised from large contributions and small individual donations under $200, according to OpenSecrets, a research group that tracks money and influence in U.S. politics.
A few years after graduating from college, Sam Bankman-Fried grew worried he was not taking enough risks. So the son of two Stanford Law School professors quit his Wall Street job and in 2017 started a cryptocurrency hedge fund, setting off a sequence of events that will culminate on Thursday with his sentencing over what federal prosecutors have called one of the biggest financial frauds in U.S. history. Prosecutors are seeking 40 to 50 years behind bars for 32-year-old Bankman-Fried, while his defense lawyers have argued he should receive less than 5-1/4 years.
