Attorneys general from 10 states and Washington, D.C., are suing the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for tougher regulation of asbestos, a known carcinogen.Back in April, the EPA passed a new rule they say closed a loophole in a decades-old law that prevented the agency from restricting the sale of certain asbestos products, according to 357

Call it a clever twist of fate, a shrewd power play, or simply comeuppance for one of the largest neo-Nazi groups in America.Its new president is a black man — a California pastor and activist — with one goal in mind."Change it, reverse it, and ultimately destroy it," James Hart Stern told CNN in an interview Friday.Stern says the former president of the Detroit-based National Socialist Movement, Jeff Schoep, turned the group over to him amid infighting by the group's core members, and to escape the threat of a lawsuit filed against NSM for its alleged role in the violent 2017 clashes in Charlottesville, Virginia.The NSM and Schoep, along with more than 20 other organizations and individuals including convicted murderer James Alex Fields, are being sued civilly by victims who were injured at Charlottesville.The lawsuit says, "The violence, suffering, and emotional distress that occurred in Charlottesville was a direct, intended, and foreseeable result of Defendants' unlawful conspiracy."Schoep claims he was "deceived" by Stern. In an open letter to NSM members, which he also sent to CNN, he admits to the "paper appointment" of Stern as president. But he claims Stern "convinced me that in order to protect our membership from the ongoing lawsuit, I should sign over NSM's presidency to him."'It's completely bizarre'One of Stern's first acts as president was to ask a judge in the Virginia lawsuit to issue a summary judgment finding NSM liable for conspiring to commit violence in Charlottesville. In his letter to NSM members, Schoep maintained his and the group's innocence, blaming counterprotesters for the violence, and vowing to wrest control of the group from Stern "in a court of law." The presiding judge on the case has yet to issue a ruling."It's completely bizarre," said Keegan Hankes of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate groups. He adds that white nationalists both in and out of the group were "completely blindsided" by the change in leadership.It's an apparent twist reminiscent of the Oscar-winning film "BlacKkKlansman," which told the true story of Ron Stallworth, a black police detective in Colorado Springs who infiltrated the Ku Klux Klan beginning with a phone call. Eventually, a white colleague subbed for Stallworth during face-to-face meetings with Klan leaders."The difference in my situation is I was able to use my face every day," Stern said. "There was no deception here. This was a man (Schoep) who willingly talked to a black mand a willingly signed it (NSM) over to a black man."Stern said his path to taking over the NSM started in 2014, when Schoep learned that Stern had the prison ID of noted KKK leader Edgar Ray Killen. The pair were housed in the same Mississippi prison when Stern served time for mail fraud, Stern said.Though Schoep wanted the ID, Stern refused to hand it over. Instead, they continued their conversations over the years, Stern said."When he and I talked, he made it very clear that I was not his friend," Stern said, adding that their talks intensified after the NSM faced increased scrutiny over the Virginia lawsuit.Stern said Schoep, who ran the NSM since 1994, initially wanted to dissolve the organization, but Stern convinced him otherwise."I told him if he dissolves it, someone else is just going to get it and re-incorporate it, rebrand it. I said if you gave it to me, that won't happen, and at least you will know who has it."'A hail Mary' or 'fraudulently manipulated'After more phone calls and conversations, Stern said he convinced Schoep to turn the movement over to him."It was a hail Mary of him trying to get out of the consequences of his actions," Stern said, referring to the accusations in the Virginia lawsuit.Schoep, in his letter to the NSM, said he was "fraudulently manipulated" by Stern, and that he has given the group's current chief of staff, Burt Colucci, control of the group's operations.Michigan public records currently list Stern as president.Stern says he knows the NSM could rebrand and start anew. But Stern's goal is to maintain control of the name and website."You can call yourselves the mother chickens of turtles, for all I care," Stern said. "But that reputation you carry as NSM, which carries fear and revere, it's gone."Stern hopes the NSM name, once associated with Holocaust denial, sits dormant on a corporate shelf long after he dies. But he doesn't want to begin this fight alone."I expect every minority, Jewish and black, which has been affected by it... to contact me and reach out so we can put our heads together and make sure that this is done productively," he said.While Stern shies away from comparisons to "BlacKkKlansman," he admits he'd love to make a statement by paring the NSM website with other Hollywood films."I'd like to see 'Schindler's List' ... and 'Amistad' ... stream on that website," he said. "So, generations of nationalists have to look at it for the first time." 4959

Another Mississippi inmate has died in a troubled state prison. State corrections officials said the death Wednesday appeared to be a suicide by hanging. At least 10 inmates have died in the state's prisons since late December Most were killed in outbursts of violence. Eight of the deaths, including the one Wednesday, happened in the Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman. Violence is a recurring problem in Mississippi prisons, where many jobs for guards are unfilled. Entertainment mogul Jay-Z's charity group, Team Roc, is hosting a prison protest Friday at the Mississippi Capitol. But, state legislators plan to leave Jackson for the weekend on Thursday. 678

California Governor Gavin Newsom did away Wednesday with a law that made it a crime to refuse to help a police officer.The law dates back nearly 150 years to California's Wild West days, when cowboys and outlaws roamed the state.The California Posse Comitatus Act of 1872 made it a misdemeanor for "an able-bodied person 18 years of age or older" to refuse a request for assistance from a police officer "in making an arrest, retaking into custody a person who has escaped from arrest or imprisonment, or preventing a breach of the peace or the commission of any criminal offense."It was widely used by authorities to legally form posses to hunt outlaws.State Senate Bill 192, which repeals the law, was first introduced on January 30, and it was sponsored by Senator Bob Hertzberg. Hertzberg originally tasked his interns with identifying outdated laws when they discovered it."Thank you to my interns for finding a law that belongs in the history books, not the law books," Senator Hertzberg said.Cory M. Salzillo, legislative director or the California State Sheriffs' Association, told CNN that the bill sends a message that discourages cooperation or giving assistance to law enforcement, and that it creates this notion that you shouldn't help law enforcement."We are unfamiliar with concerns with this statute other than it was enacted many years ago and carries a fine for a person who disobeys it," the CSSA said in a statement in June. "There are situations in which a peace officer might look to private persons for assistance in matters of emergency or risks to public safety and we are unconvinced that this statute should be repealed." 1661
