Authorities say an indicted poker cheating ring involving pro sports figures and the mafia used a series of high-tech tactics in the scam. They included shuffling machines that could determine who held what cards and sent that information someone off-site who shared it with a player known as “the quarterback.” They could signal the other players at the table how to proceed. The organizers lured wealthy victims with the chance to play with pro athletes in posh New York spots. Authorities say other tactics used were an X-ray table that could determine who held what cards, and cameras hidden in the trays that held players' chips.

Freed from the prison where he had been serving time for ripping off his campaign donors, former U.S. Rep. George Santos says he’s humbled by his experience behind bars. But he says he's also unconcerned about the “pearl clutching” of critics upset that President Donald Trump granted him clemency. Speaking on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Santos said Sunday that if Trump “had pardoned Jesus Christ off the cross, he would have had critics.” Santos won office after inventing a bogus persona as a Wall Street dealmaker. He was serving a 7-year prison sentence for fraud and identity theft when Trump ordered him released him Friday.
