HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_026648.txt
The document discusses Saudi Arabia's efforts to amend the JASTA law in order to prevent lawsuits by 9/11 victims who claim that the Gulf state had a role in financing and supporting the attacks. The country's foreign minister, Adel al-Jubeir, is leading these negotiations with US lawmakers after an extended trip to the United States.

The legislation has drawn concern from many countries due to its potential impact on sovereign immunity.
HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_026605.txt
The document discusses a story about Kathryn Ruemmler, former White House counsel, who has turned down an offer to succeed Eric Holder as U.S. Attorney General. She was concerned that her experience as a close adviser to President Obama would lead to a difficult confirmation process in the current highly charged partisan environment and that it could ignite political attacks against the president. Her withdrawal leaves no obvious front-runner to replace Holder, who announced his intention to step down once a replacement is confirmed. Other candidates being considered for the position include Solicitor General Don Verrilli; Labor Secretary Tom Perez; Loretta Lynch, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York; and Preet Bharara, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.

The document also mentions a similar proposal made by President Barack Obama and includes a detailed summary of Camp's proposal.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_026005.txt
A federal jury decided that one of the Middle East's most prominent banks did not commit fraud and steal technology from an Irvine firm.

The jury unanimously decided that InfoSpan did not prove its case of fraud and theft of trade secrets. High-profile attorneys on both sides argued in this two-week trial that involved dueling accusations of fraud levied by high-profile attorneys.
