The Securities and Exchange Commission is suing AT&T and three of its investor relations executives for telling Wall Street analysts about the telecom giant's sales data before it released quarterly results. The early warning helped AT&T avoid having its results fall short of Wall Street expectations, according to the SEC's complaint filed in Manhattan federal court. The U.S. financial regulator said Friday that in March 2016, AT&T was worried that a steeper-than-expected decline in smartphone sales would make it miss Wall Street estimates for its first quarter.
The voting rights group backed by basketball star LeBron James is kicking off a new campaign to fight Republican-led efforts to tighten voting requirements in Georgia and other states that could restrict access for Black voters and Democrats. The group, More Than A Vote, will start by running a 30-second advertisement narrated by James during the televised NBA All-Star Game in Atlanta on Sunday. "Look what we made happen," the Los Angeles Lakers star says in the ad, as images flash of demonstrations protesting the police killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor last year.

A powerful rally to end the week on Wall Street after a big three-day slump unraveled investor confidence.By the time the closing bell rang on Friday, the Dow surged 572 points. The S&P 500 jumped 73. The Nasdaq rallied 196 points.It's been a tough time for tech stock - the Nasdaq was down for the third straight week.A hefty rebound in employment fueled hopes of better economic days ahead. Employers added a much better-than-expected 379,000 new jobs in February.The lion's share of the hiring came from restaurants and bars, which accounted for 75 percent of all the job gains in February. Hiring was up across the board for entertainment, leisure and recreation industries. The key unemployment rate dropped to 6.2 percent. But even with February's hiring surge the economy still has to recover 10-1/2 million jobs lost since the health crisis hit last year. Nevertheless, investors should feel good about the economic outlook and the stock market, says Jerry Braakman, chief investment officer, First American Trust."I think when you look two to three quarters ahead, at the rate where we're vaccinating folks by a million to 1.5 million a day, we have some 300 million folks in the U.S., in 200-300 days we will be able to vaccinate all the people in the US and that is a game changer. So when you look back between that and another $1.9 trillion or somewhere around there of additional stimulus that hits people's checking accounts, I think that creates a great setup."Economic hopes also pushed interest rates higher. Yields on the U.S. government's benchmark 10-year note jumped to its highest in over a year.Higher interest rates are likely to make it more costly for high-growth companies like Tesla to do business. The electric car maker was left out of Friday's rally, capping what was a terrible week in which the stock dropped 11 percent.

After the North Dakota House voted to expel a lawmaker accused of a long pattern of sexually harassing women at the Capitol, attention has turned to a policy that was intended to protect against harassment but may have actually made it harder to stop it. Legislative leaders vowed Friday to overhaul the policy crafted less than three years ago regarding workplace and sexual harassment at the Capitol, with an eye toward removing a requirement that eventually could make a victim’s identity public, which may have kept some women from coming forward. “Obviously, there is some grey areas that need to be filled in,” said Chet Pollert, the House Majority leader.
NASA's Mars rover Perseverance has taken its first, short drive on the surface of the red planet, two weeks after the robot science lab's picture-perfect touchdown on the floor of a massive crater, mission managers said on Friday. The six-wheeled, car-sized astrobiology probe put a total of 6.5 meters (21.3 feet) on its odometer on Thursday during a half-hour test spin within Jezero Crater, site of an ancient, long-vanished lake bed and river delta on Mars. Taking directions from mission managers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) near Los Angeles, the rover rolled 4 meters (13.1 feet) forward, turned about 150 degrees to its left and then drove backward another 2.5 meters (8.2 feet).
