Citi to pay $7B mortgage settlement
Citigroup agreed to pay $7 billion to settle charges that it packaged bad mortgages during the run-up to the financial crisis.
It includes $4 billion in penalties, $2.5 billion in mortgage modifications and other relief to homeowners, and $500 million going to five states and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.
The settlement means Citi will be able to avoid a civil suit by the Justice Department and mirrors similar agreements with JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and other lenders in recent years.
While Citi took a $3.8 billion hit because of the deal, which essentially wiped out its earnings for the quarter, it can afford it. Last year, the bank earned $14 billion and had $35 billion of cash on its balance sheet as of June 30.
Holder: "Racial animus" fuels opposition to Obama
President Barack Obama's top law enforcement official citing race as the reason behind opposition to the president.
Attorney General Eric Holder on Sunday told ABC's "This Week" that "there's a certain level of vehemence, it seems to me, that's directed at me (and) directed at the President. ... There's a certain racial component to this for some people."
Some media conservatives say he's playing racial politics.

Alleged killer call girl's self-destructive behavior: She was clearly "gone in her addiction," friend says
The state of California is preparing to formally charge the high-priced prostitute linked to two fatal heroin overdoses – including the 51-year-old Google executive found dead on his luxury yacht.
Alix Tichelman will be in court Wednesday for her arraignment. Investigators say she cooked up a fatal dose of heroin and then injected the father of five and left him to die.
A claim that's not surprising to those who knew her in the months leading up to the murder.
