一 | LONDON -- Former Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone admitted fraud at a court hearing Thursday after prosecutors charged him with failing to declare millions of dollars held in a trust in Singapore to Britain’s government.The 92-year-old billionaire, who wore a dark suit, said “I plead guilty” at Southwark Crown Court in central London. Ecclestone headed Formula One racing and controlled the sport for for four decades from the 1970s to 2017, when he stepped down as chief executive and Liberty Media took over the series.Prosecutors allege he failed to declare a trust in Singapore with a bank account containing around $650 million when he was asked about any trusts abroad that he was involved in.They say that Ecclestone claimed he had set up “only a single trust” in favor of his three daughters, and that he was “not the settler nor beneficiary of any trust in or outside the U.K.” Prosecutors say he acted “dishonestly” and intended to make a gain from the claims.“He now accepts that some tax is due in relation to these matters," prosecutor Richard Wright said.Ecclestone had pleaded not guilty to the charges earlier this year.。 Boebert’s vocal exasperation with the separation of church and state has prompted a rebuke from fellow Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-CA), who likened the Colorado Republican’s ideology to that of the Taliban*.,“There is no difference between this and the Taliban,” Kinzinger tweeted on Wednesday.,“We must opposed [sic] the Christian Taliban,” he added. “I say this as a Christian.”,Kinzinger, one of two Republicans on the House select committee probing the January 6 insurrection, clarified in a later tweet that he was specifically speaking out against “Christian nationalism.”,"I can't find anywhere Jesus said that the Govt matters to him,” Kinzinger tweeted.,Boebert’s remarks were made prior to her 64%-36% primary win over challenger and Colorado state Senator Don Coram on Tuesday.,Strong Showing From Trump Candidates in Tuesday's Primaries Sets Tone for High Stakes’ Nov.

The Church is supposed to direct the government, the government is not supposed to direct the church,” Boebert said.,“That is not how our founding fathers intended it,” she said. “And I’m tired of this separation of church and state junk. That’s not in the Constitution, it was in a stinking letter, and it means nothing like what they say it does.”,The Colorado Republican has seemingly walked back her statement after accusations that she was advocating for the US to become a theocracy.,“Christian principles have informed and guided lawmakers in America since its founding.
