The Case Against El Chapo: What We Know So Far

After decades of evading the authorities with almost mythic agility, New York's Eastern District has finally pinned Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzmán down in a lower Manhattan jail. The Sinaloa cartel kingpin faces what U.S. Attorney Robert L. Capers called "a 17-count, sweeping indictment," including drug distribution, money laundering and most broadly, "leading a continuing criminal enterprise" – which covers his activity from 1989 to present day. If charged with that alone, he faces a mandatory minimum of life in prison.

LeBron James and Cavs owner Dan Gilbert's relationship is reportedly 'straining' over how much the team is spending

LeBron James and Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert are at odds over the team's spending on payroll, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst.

James, who on Monday publicly blasted the Cavs' roster for not being deep enough, reportedly believes that the team has slowed "new spending" after winning a championship last year.

According to Windhorst, James' public criticisms "angered" Gilbert, who spent an NBA record $161 million in payroll and luxury tax last season and has spent the most of any NBA team over the past three seasons.

The dispute over the Cavs' payroll is reportedly "straining" James and Gilbert's relationship.

According to Windhorst, when James returned to the Cavaliers in 2014, he spoke to Gilbert about his willingness to spend unconditionally to build a championship contender. Gilbert agreed, and James joined the team.

STANDOFF: Mexico's president cancels meeting with Trump

Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto on Thursday canceled his meeting next week with President Donald Trump after Trump warned he should not visit Washington, DC, if Mexico was "unwilling to pay" for a wall on its shared border with the US.

"This morning we have informed the White House that I will not attend the meeting scheduled for next Tuesday with the @POTUS," Peña Nieto tweeted, according to an online translation.

The cancellation of the meeting came after Trump tweeted that Peña Nieto should not meet with him unless Mexico was willing to finance the massive construction project.

"The U.S. has a 60 billion dollar trade deficit with Mexico," Trump wrote on Twitter. "It has been a one-sided deal from the beginning of NAFTA with massive numbers of jobs and companies lost."

Trump continued: "If Mexico is unwilling to pay for the badly needed wall, then it would be better to cancel the upcoming meeting."
