Officials 00:03:12.580 --> 00:03:15.580 were informed on October 24th and immediately 00:03:15.580 --> 00:03:18.300 hired an independent investigator to conduct 00:03:18.300 --> 00:03:21.860 a thorough administrative inquiry.

The Celtics, 00:06:04.379 --> 00:06:06.759 who have lost their last two games, will host 00:06:06.759 --> 00:06:12.980 Washington Wednesday night.

Mid -decade reapportionments 00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:35.660 have been triggered by demands from Donald Trump 00:06:35.660 --> 00:06:38.459 for more Republican districts. combined with 00:06:38.459 --> 00:06:42.060 changing legal frameworks around partisan gerrymandering. 00:06:43.060 --> 00:06:45.800 As states push for redistricting, Texas aims 00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:48.899 for five additional seats for Republicans, while 00:06:48.899 --> 00:06:51.759 California seeks to gain five seats for Democrats. 00:06:52.959 --> 00:06:55.639 This high -stakes political maneuvering highlights 00:06:55.639 --> 00:06:58.899 the critical nature of upcoming legislative sessions. 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:05.000 In business news, The fight over credit scores 00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:08.519 has escalated into a war among key players in 00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:12.339 the finance industry.
