In an exclusive report, creditors of the Taoyuan Celebrity Hall Hotel, facing financial crisis, shed light on founder Hong Teng-Sheng's loan process. Hong not only used 1/6 shares of the brother-owned hotel as collateral but also had his younger brother, Hong Jui-Lin, assure, 'It's fine if you lend him money.' As Hong mysteriously disappeared amid financial chaos, creditors found the brothers denying any obligations, leaving them dumbfounded. The loan guarantee document displayed collateral with 1/6 shares of the brother-owned hotel. The creditors disclosed that from February to March 2024, Hong borrowed nearly NT$60 million in four separate transactions, with his wife Yang Yu-Hsuan actively participating. Despite assurances and smooth transactions with the brothers' hotel staff present, Hong's sudden evaporation prompted creditors to consider legal recourse if not swiftly settled by the family.

On June 12, 2024, the US House of Representatives, controlled by the Republican Party, narrowly passed a resolution accusing Attorney General Garland of contempt of Congress for refusing to hand over the recording of President Biden's testimony in a confidential file case. The investigation, led by special prosecutor Robert Hur, concluded due to lack of evidence not to prosecute Biden. However, Republicans are seizing on Biden's alleged memory issues, while the White House claims the recordings are privileged. Democrats criticize Republicans for political motives, as the upcoming election battle between Trump and Biden is causing tension. The move may have symbolic significance but little actual effect on Garland's potential conviction. Trump faces charges too, but his case has been postponed indefinitely.
