George Floyd record breach, medical center announcing the breaches

George Floyd record breach, medical center announcing the breaches.

George Floyd's family has been informed that his confidential records at the Hennepin County Medical Center were breached multiple times after his death, an attorney for Floyd's family told CBS News. The attorney said Floyd's family received a letter from the medical center announcing the breaches. 

"The Floyd family and attorneys were recently made aware of a data breach of George Floyd's confidential information at the Hennepin County Medical Center," attorney Antonio Romanucci said in a statement.  "The letter said there were breaches of his data over multiple dates and that the employees involved are 'no longer with the organization.'"

Floyd was brought to Hennepin County Medical Center on the night he died, according to CBS Minnesota. The letter was first reported by The Associated Press.

Romanucci said the letter did not reveal what information was accessed, nor did it specify if the employees involved were fired or if they resigned.

He said the family has not yet requested evidence or issued any subpoenas related to the letter, but added that attorneys are "exploring all of our remedies" to deal with the breaches.

"When George Floyd was desperate for a breath, the city of Minneapolis pushed on his neck further," he said. "And even after death, he was abused and mistreated by the system."

Ivanka Trump vaccine View, challenge from co-host Joy Behar

 Ivanka Trump vaccine View, challenge from co-host Joy Behar. President Trump ’s daughter and adviser,  Ivanka Trump , vowed on Thursday to take the coronavirus vaccine on “The View” after a challenge from co-host  Joy Behar .  Behar said on Wednesday’s show that she doubted the president’s claims that a COVID-19 vaccine could be ready soon, adding that she would take the vaccine once Ivanka Trump did.  Ivanka Trump responded to Behar’s comments in a tweet on Thursday, saying “Deal” while tagging “The View” co-host.  “I would come on your show to do so,” she said. “I trust the FDA and so should all Americans. Vanquishing this virus should be our collective top priority.” On Wednesday,  Behar accused the president of speeding up production of the virus in order to be reelected in November, citing that past developments took years to make an effective and safe vaccine.  “As far as the vaccine is concerned, I’d like to inform America — in case w...

Tennessee mail voting restrictions, election office before voting

 Tennessee mail voting restrictions, election office before voting. A federal judge on Wednesday halted a Tennessee law that restricted voting by mail by mandating that first-time voters show their identification at an election office before voting. U.S. District Judge Eli Richardson, a Trump appointee, filed a preliminary injunction saying he was worried “about how his decisions could aid one side or the other on the political front,”  The Associated Press reported .  The Nashville judge ruled that the law was based on a “non-existent” order from Congress.  The ruling comes ahead of an unprecedented November election that is expected to break records for the number of mail-in ballots due to the coronavirus pandemic. The lawyers who challenged the law said it affected about 128,000 newly registered voters last election cycle. “The Court concludes that the requested injunction would favorably impact the public interest because as discussed above, ...

Daisy Ridley Star Wars changes, trilogy as they went along

Daisy Ridley Star Wars changes, trilogy as they went along. Rey’s backstory changed for each  Star Wars  movie? You don’t say, we never could have guessed that eh? Sigh. My thoughts on the  Star Wars  sequel trilogy are pretty well known around here. I find the whole trilogy awful, and have no desire to ever watch it again. For me, there was no plan, instead using a ‘choose your own adventure’ approach for each movie. For this fan, the lack of a plan was clearly evident between each of the three movies. My really big issue with this, was that Disney had no plan how the Skywalker Saga was going to end when they decided to make the movies. That’s a mistake Disney can never erase. Now we have even more evidence of this lack of a plan for  Star Wars . Daisey Ridley last night appeared in her first interview since  The Rise of Skywalker  on  Jimmy Kimmel Live  (virtual) with guest host Josh Gad, a personal friend of Ridley’s. You can catch th...
