Rudy Giuliani will not face criminal charges, after he was accused of violating U.S. lobbying laws

Federal investigators in April 2021 seized 16 electronic devices that belonged to Giuliani, and after reviewing them, the decision to drop the charges was made. Giuliani was accused of trying to dig up dirt on the Biden family in Ukraine, to benefit former President Donald Trump, and whether he breached the Foreign Agents Registrations Act. While acting as Trump’s lawyer, Giuliani had interactions with Ukrainian officials, allegedly trying to find out more about Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, ahead of the 20-20 Presidential campaign. Giuliani maintained he had done nothing wrong during the investigation.

The renowned Montreal-based Just for Laughs comedy festival, one of the world’s largest international comedy events, will not grace the calendar in 2024.

The Canadian company overseeing the festival announced its cancellation this year, citing efforts to steer clear of bankruptcy. Having marked its 40th anniversary in 2023, Just For Laughs has long been a beloved fixture on the city’s cultural landscape.

With its absence raising questions about which event will inherit the title of the biggest comedy festival, speculation arises whether Melbourne will seize the mantle, given its burgeoning comedy scene and the success of its own Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
