Several times last week, prosecutors painted #Trump as a micromanager. They used custodial witnesses to read passages of his books that depicted him as a boss who distrusted his employees for a fear they will "rob you blind." This is a continuation of that theme.
#Hoffinger, the prosecutor, lingers on the back-&-forth between #MichaelCohen & #KeithDavidson ensuring that the wire transfer of Daniels's money & the NDA were in place.

Mark Frechette
In 1970 Mark Frechette was discovered by a casting director while in the middle of a shouting match at a Charles Street bus-stop in Boston. "He's 20 and he hates", she told director Michelangelo Antonioni. The director immediately cast Frechette for his counterculture film Zabrinskie Point
Despite the film being a flop Frechette + co-star Daria Halprin became symbols of the disillusioned youth of America, appearing on the covers of Look + Rolling Stone + appearing on talk shows.
In 1973, Frechette + 2 members of Lyman's Fort Hill Commune in Roxbury attempted to rob the New England Merchant's Bank. One of the trio was killed by police while the other 2 were arrested. Frechette was sentenced to 6 to 15 years in prison where he died in 1975 in a weightlifting accident after a 150-pound barbell fell on his neck + he suttocated. He was 27.

St Helen’s stadium revival plan unveiled as Swansea Council moves ahead amid Ospreys uncertainty
Council leader Rob Stewart said the future of the ground had been held back by unresolved questions around Welsh rugby.
“The future of St Helen’s has been on hold due to ongoing discussions about regional rugby in Wales which are unlikely to end anytime soon,” he said.
“The WRU is not giving us the answers we need to move forward despite our requests, such as how Y11 can own two teams for a long period of time. In light of the impending EGM, I doubt the WRU knows where it is going.”
Moving ahead despite uncertainty
Stewart said Swansea must now act rather than wait for clarity from the Welsh Rugby Union.
“We must break that deadlock in the meantime and find how we can move forward as a city despite the WRU’s lack of answers,” he said.
“We propose to create a new model that strengthens both professional and grassroots rugby across Swansea and the Ospreys region.”
New vision for St Helen’s
The plans would see St Helen’s redeveloped into a modern rugby venue centred on a new all-weather 4G pitch. The surface would be used by the Ospreys for matchdays and weekly team run-outs, while also being opened up to Swansea RFC, schools, clubs and community groups for the rest of the week.
Stewart said the aim is to create a facility that serves both elite sport and the wider community.
“Our joint investment would give the Ospreys a home worthy of professional rugby while opening up this iconic ground to the community like never before.”
Under the proposed model, the council would fund key community-focused upgrades including the pitch and floodlights, while the Ospreys would deliver professional-level improvements such as a new stand, fan zone and broadcast facilities.

The proposals also include a significant expansion of community rugby activity, with the Ospreys expected to deliver club nights, school sessions, open training events and coaching development opportunities.
“For the first time in many years, children and young people will have access to a safe, modern, central facility — whatever the weather,” Stewart said.
“This model strengthens the player pathway by linking clubs, schools, colleges and the Ospreys Academy.”
A new Swansea Rugby Community Board is also proposed to help ensure the redevelopment delivers long-term benefits for local people, while former Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones has agreed to work with the council on the project.
Ospreys return in sight
The Ospreys say they have been working with the council for months on the proposals and believe the plan could allow them to return to Swansea as early as next season while expanding their community work.
Stewart added: “This continues our support for the Ospreys remaining as a professional rugby region based in Swansea.”

The proposals are due to be considered by the council’s cabinet this week, with work potentially starting in April if approved.
The council has also confirmed its legal action over the WRU’s proposed Y11 deal is continuing — underlining the wider uncertainty surrounding the future of Welsh rugby.

Free bus rides return for Easter as Swansea families urged to “leave the car at home”
Council leader Rob Stewart confirmed the scheme will run across eight days during the school holidays, starting from March 28.
The move follows previous schemes that have already seen more than one million free journeys taken in Swansea.
£450,000 set aside
The council has earmarked £450,000 from this year’s budget to fund not just the Easter offer – but free buses again in the summer and Christmas holidays too.
That means families could continue to benefit from the scheme throughout the year.
Save up to £20 a trip
Rob Stewart said the initiative is designed to ease the pressure on household budgets during what can be an expensive time.
He said families could save up to £20 per trip, encouraging people to ditch the car and spend that money elsewhere instead.
Cllr Stewart said: “Since we launched the offer people have enjoyed more than 1m free bus rides.
“Easter can be an expensive time for everyone but we’re committed to ensuring families in Swansea can save a bit of money on travel costs, leave the car at home and save their petrol money to spend on other things, saving up to £20 a time for family of four.
“The city centre is a great shopping destination in itself for people wanting to take a free trip. But it is also about giving the public the chance to travel all across Swansea, whether it’s to visit family members or just enjoy to what Swansea has to offer.”
Cutting traffic and boosting buses
Cabinet member Andrew Stevens said the scheme also aims to get more people onto public transport.
He added that many residents still rely on cars – and the free travel offer is a chance to get them trying buses for the first time, while also helping reduce congestion on local roads.
“It’s important we support public transport operators in Swansea and do what we can to increase passenger numbers.” Cllr Stevens said.
When are buses free?
Free travel will be available on:
- Saturday 28 March
- Sunday 29 March
- Friday 3 April (Good Friday)
- Saturday 4 April
- Sunday 5 April (Easter Sunday)
- Monday 6 April (Easter Monday)
- Saturday 11 April
- Sunday 12 April
Back again after popular demand
The Easter scheme builds on previous free bus initiatives covered by Swansea Bay News, which proved hugely popular with residents looking to cut costs and explore the city without worrying about fares.
With another school holiday around the corner, council bosses are now hoping even more people will jump on board.

‘SMOKING GUN’ MINUTES: Council publishes secret notes as Ospreys death date revealed
Swansea Council has taken the extraordinary step of publishing the redacted notes to prove that the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) plans to axe the region after the 2026/27 season.
The “smoking gun” document directly contradicts claims made by WRU boss Abi Tierney, who suggested this week that no final decision had been made on the club’s future.
According to the minutes, Council Leader Rob Stewart was told in a January meeting that the Ospreys would “no longer exist” as a professional men’s team if the controversial sale of Cardiff Rugby to Y11 goes ahead.
The documents even show that Ms Tierney began proposing “alternative uses” for a redeveloped St Helen’s ground once the regional team had been disbanded.
Cllr Stewart hit out at the WRU leadership, branding their recent media comments “deeply concerning and misleading.”
He said:
“They contradict what we were clearly told in our meeting. We cannot allow the WRU to misrepresent the position or mislead players, staff, and supporters.”
The minutes, which include track-changed comments from Ms Tierney herself, reveal a tense showdown behind closed doors.
In one section, Ospreys CEO Lance Bradley reportedly admitted the club was losing £2.5 million a year and was:
“going to fold whatever happened.”
The Council has now launched a high-stakes legal battle and referred the WRU to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) to block the deal.
It is the latest escalation in a seismic showdown that has seen 51 clubs move to axe the WRU chairman.
The Council previously launched legal action over the Cardiff sale, accusing the union of “moving the goalposts.”
The WRU had reportedly tried to block the publication of the minutes, claiming the meeting was confidential.
However, Cllr Stewart insisted the public has a right to know, adding: “The Council has a duty to act in the public interest and that means being open, honest and transparent.”
Despite the bleak outlook from the WRU, Ospreys Director Rob Davies insisted the club is “financially committed” to a long-term future at St Helen’s.
He said:
“We believe Wales should retain four regional teams. Our future lies at a redeveloped St Helen’s.”
The revelation comes after Alun Wyn Jones warned that losing the Ospreys would leave a “rugby black hole” across Swansea Bay.
The Senedd has also delivered a damning verdict on the WRU’s handling of the crisis, accusing them of a “dereliction of duty.”
With the 2026/27 season now marked as a potential end date, the battle for the survival of regional rugby in West Wales has reached a point of no return.

Review: Greyhawk “Warriors of Greyhawk”
Release date: 13 February 2026
Label: Cruz Del Sur Music
7–11 minutesGage J. Tolin
Fusing classic US power metal, AOR and all things epic metal; GREYHAWK returns with their third album of triumphant battle hymns.
Refreshed, rejuvenated and ready for adventure; GREYHAWK are back with their third album of epic, melodic power/heavy metal fused with an anthemic AOR angle. Shredding guitars, soaring vocals, powerful rhythms and songs that will stick with you are all a part of this majestic opus.
From the very beginning you will be met with soaring guitars, pounding riffs and a classic heavy/power metal attack from the instrumentals. Grandiose and powerful vocals complete the mix, which is perfectly blended by Henrik Udd’s sublime production which is detailed and grandiose. Daniel Porta has provided artwork for this record and clearly the band have had a strong input on all aspects of the release to make sure the entire experience is gripping for you, the fans.
Not many bands blend the more traditional epic heavy/power metal glory with these AOR elements but GREYHAWK do so marvellously, giving the music not only power but memorability, showing that on their third album – this will definitely stand the test of time. The musicianship is continually improving on all counts, from the crushing drumming to the mind-blowing guitar work to the operatic and stunning vocals. Lovers of all things fantastical, adventurous and metallic will be enchanted, enthralled and bedazzled by this stratospheric effort.
“This album is a return to the epic metal roots that we had on our debut album ‘Keepers of the Flame’”, says founding member Darin Wall, “it also features some faster songs where we explore our love for power metal, as well as some of the 80s AOR vibes we had on the last album ‘Thunderheart’. Songs about inner strength, overcoming obstacles in life, and triumphing in victory are all present here. Creating an experience where the listener can find inspiration from the lyrics and energy of the songs, or detach from reality a bit and get lost in some of the epic fantastical themes is the goal. Ronnie James Dio is the bands biggest influence as far as lyrical themes go.”

Greyhawk begin their third full-length album, and first with vocalist Anthony Corso, with “Ascension”, a song that wastes little time in making its mark. While longtime listeners might be a bit put off by the new singer, this quickly faded for me and I found myself enjoying Anthony’s set of pipes. The AOR influence comes through with gusto, at times sounding very akin to the vocal talents of Steve Perry of Journey or Brad Delp of Boston. It helps to give the album a pronounced melodic and anthemic sound to it that I think makes it stand out from their earlier work. On the instrumental side, I did find the production to be a bit cacophonous at times, but I still found the music largely enjoyable. The guitar solo in particular was a great taste of what was to come on the album.
Taking things into a more thrashy realm was “Land of Ashes”, which offered a blitzing pace and sound that I felt more similar to Holy Grail than previous Greyhawk releases. Drummer Nate Butler is killing it throughout the track, with some thundering beats on the kit. Again, I found Corso’s vocals to be more than solid, and they continued to grow on me. While a shorter track, at 3:26, it definitely makes the most of its minutes (as the saying goes), and though I still wasn’t quite sold on the production, everything else was clicking for me up to now.
“Take A Stand” offered a more chanty and simplistic style of track, and I don’t think that’s a bad thing. As I’ve said in other reviews, I appreciate versatility and this shows just that. On top of that, something about this track made it feel like an old Greyhawk track (can’t quite explain why or how that is). While featuring a proper shredder of a guitar solo, the track kept things close to its chest and never strayed too far from the formula that this sort of track offers. It felt like a lead single, and while I do contend that it was a solid addition to the album, I can’t quite rate it higher than that just yet. Alas, future relistens may change my perception.
“Endless Race” returned us to that more thrashy (speedy?) realm, with an opening that ripped like crazy. The melodic guitar harmony coming in to accentuate it was a cherry on top. Speaking of melody, the way in which Corso delivers the chorus is simply dripping with magic and majesty. For some reason, I found the production to really work in the track’s favor for this one, though I retain that I think it’s a touch too clean. This wasn’t a long track, clocking in at just over 4 minutes, and it actually felt shorter than it really was, but I really think it worked. Good stuff here.
The first, of a few, more lengthy tracks was the title track “Warriors of Greyhawk”. I loved the slow build-up in the beginning for this one, interspersing old recordings of past Greyhawk tracks (really nice touch!). This one had a really great sense of epic washed over it, and the track itself felt like a sort of homage to Greyhawk’s work up to this point. I think this is a pretty strong way to signify that the band is entering a new era with Anthony Corso at the helm. By this point, I really felt like the production was starting to click with me, and the aforementioned Corso’s vocals were doing the same. At just a few ticks over six minutes, this was a bit on the longer side, but it never felt overly such.
“Words of Power” returned us toward the shorter side of tracks for the album, and for this one I was really enjoying Corso’s vocals. While I felt that the overall instrumentation was a touch simplistic for the majority of its runtime, the guitar solo was a brief showcase of wizardry. Someone that I think many will call an MVP of the album though is definitely drummer Nate Butler, who remains in top-form. However, though the vocals, solo, and drumming, were all great, the track overall run a bit hollow for me.
Next up was “Chosen”, which was a more mid-tempo track that served to dish up some extra variety on the album. At times verging on epic, the track featured Corso delivering vocals that I found highly reminiscent of previous Greyhawk singer Rev Taylor, but not in a derivative way. The addition of the band chanting the chorus behind the voice of Corso only helped to elevate the track up the ladder of grandeur. The riffs were simple, but they had a purpose and a weight behind them, something I find easy to appreciate. Pretty solid song here.
“Hyperspace”, a word which I never know whether to hyphenate or not, began as a fairly standard power metal romp, with a slick opening riff. Corso’s vocals here remind me heavily of someone, but I can’t quite my finger on who exactly it is. It’s not so much his performance as it is his delivery and cadence, it’s so familiar. Insane shred-fest of a guitar solo to really steal the show near the end, great stuff all-round.
“Embers Rise” opened with a riff that reminded me a lot of modern Judas Priest or Vicious Rumors (both underrated eras for both bands). The song itself however felt a tad bit underdeveloped or undercooked. On the whole, it was a solid track in all respects, but it definitely felt a touch too safe for me. However, it was one of the few tracks where I can hear the bass through the production and that makes me appreciate it for that.
Changing things up completely was “Rise Above”, the penultimate track, which began with a nice melodic instrumental section that delivered an almost reflective mood. Corso joined in with a deep delivery of the opening lines, only further ushering the song into higher territory. His control over his vocal chords is seriously impressive, the way he can effortlessly switch between the deep and high pitches. Throughout the track, especially by the midpoint, I began to wonder if it was building towards something. My thoughts and ponderings proved correct when the song came to a crescendo with a pretty nice closing sequence (wherein the guitar from the very beginning returned for a spell).
Finally we come to “Eternal Quest”, which opened with an even more melodic guitar part (this one felt much more 80s ballad inspired, like some Ratt or Krokus). The intro sequence lasted a bit over a minute of good buildup before Corso ushered in the song properly with crisp vocals. In terms of tempo, this one kept things more middle-speed for the majority of its runtime, to the point that I admit, it began to feel a touch long in the tooth. A brief, but sharp, guitar solo breaks things up a bit with a nice band-chant sequence that eventually became part of the background (cool touch!). Though overall, I do feel like the prior track was the stronger of the two 6 minute closers.
Conclusion
Greyhawk’s third album introduces fans and newcomers to the arrival of new vocalist Anthony Corso, who showcases his exemplary talents throughout. While the sound is a bit different when compared to their previous releases, it isn’t a massive jump, but rather a gradual one if you’ve followed them for some time. The AOR influence from previous album, “Thunderheart” is definitely refined and pushed more towards the front. However, I do feel that the production was a touch too clean and crisp, and at times just simply too much- though think that chalks more up to personal taste. Building on that, the album had a tendency to feel hot and then cold, rather than feeling like a consistent flow was there (though I could’ve just been in the wrong headspace for it).
