An investigating magistrate will decide whether to press charges against Durov, and the judiciary would then rule on whether he will be remanded in custody or allowed to go free, possibly under judicial control with restrictions on his movements. #PavelDurov has appeared before an investigating judge who will decide whether he will be charged.

Le Monde reported Wednesday that the billionaire met French President Emmanuel Macron on several occasions before receiving French citizenship in 2021, via a special procedure reserved for those deemed to have made a special contribution to the country. The Wall Street Journal reported that at one such lunch in 2018, Macron, who along with his team was in the past an avid user of Telegram, suggested the company should be headquartered in Paris. Durov allegedly refused to relocate his business.

Former Fox News host Steve Hilton is reportedly considering a run for California governor in 2026. A spokesperson confirmed to KCRA 3 that Hilton is traveling across the state and increasing his public appearances. The British and American political commentator served as a policy adviser to former UK Prime Minister David Cameron. Former Fox News Host Steve Hilton Reportedly Mulling Over a Run For CA Governor. GOP leaders confirm a possible run for Hilton.@CaliforniaGlobe https://t.co/KEQnLJFYLG pic.twitter.com/LjV3nBV9f9 — California Globe (@CaliforniaGlobe) August 27, 2024 From POLITICO: While Hilton and his team did not comment when approached for this story, several prominent political figures in the state conveyed that the Silicon Valley entrepreneur, who has been increasing his public appearances and focus on California public policy, is already deep in discussions about a possible run as a Republican. “He is thinking very seriously about running for governor and he is doing it in a very organized way,” said Jim Brulte, the former California Republican Party chair and GOP leader of the state Senate. “I know he’s talking to a lot of the right people because I have heard from a lot of the right people that he’s talking to them.” Hilton’s candidacy would amount to a major test of voters’ appetites to challenge Democratic dogma and conventional wisdom in one of the nation’s biggest, bluest states. It also could help resolve whether deteriorating conditions on the ground — pockets of high crime, homelessness and soaring cost of living — will precipitate a fulsome conversation about alternative leadership that hasn’t happened in decades. Word of Hilton’s interest has already piqued the curiosity of leaders in Silicon Valley, including figures pining for a political disruptor. In an interview, Chamath Palihapitiya, the billionaire tech venture capitalist who has increasingly waded into national and state politics, said Hilton’s emergence could jumpstart conversations around a range of issues plaguing California.

Republicans need to make sure the whole country knows,” Hilton commented.

Gavin Newsom finishes his second term. Hilton joined Fox News Media in December 2016. He hosted “The Next Revolution” through May 2023 and still regularly offers political and tech industry commentary across FOX platforms. He is also the co-founder of Crowdpac, an independent and non-partisan Silicon Valley political and data start-up. Hilton served as director of strategy for Cameron from 2010 to 2012. Others running for governor on the Democratic side include State Senate Pro Tempore Toni Atkins, Lt. Governor Eleni Kounalakis, former State Controller Betty Yee and former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. California Attorney General Rob Bonta and California’s head of public instructions Tony Thurmond are also considering runs.
