In other news, James Alex Fields, the white supremacist who killed Heather Heyer with his car at the "United the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017, has been sentenced to life in prison.

Meanwhile, Time has named former Washington Post contributor Jamal Khashoggi and other journalists who've been captured or killed as their "Person of the Year."

Finally, Politico reports that the Trump regime buried a report from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) that says Wells Fargo has been charging college students much higher fees than other banks do for the same service.

The previously unseen analysis examined the fees associated with debit cards and other financial products provided by 14 companies through agreements with more than 500 colleges across the country.

Wells Fargo provided roughly one-quarter of those accounts but the bank collected more than half of all fees paid by students, according to the report data. The bank’s average annual fee per account was nearly $50, the highest of any provider.

The report raises questions about whether campus accounts with high fees comply with Education Department rules requiring colleges to make sure the products they help promote are “not inconsistent with the best financial interests” of their students.

If this doesn't comply with the rules, they'll probably eliminate the rules.
