Three days later, FBI Director James Comey said agents working on the Anthony Weiner sexting investigation had found emails that appeared rel- evant to the Hillary Clinton email probe, which he had previously said was closed. Some former prosecutors believe a Southern District investigation into a pos- sible leak in the Weiner case is imminent, if not already underway. Bharara’s office declined to comment. “A leak of confidential law enforcement information is always troubling because it corrupts the integrity of our criminal justice system and calls its fairness into doubt,” said a former assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District. “Nowhere is this more true than when the investigation itself involves allegations of corruption by public officials, because the leaks are inevitably seen as politically mo- tivated attacks.” Giuliani was an effective surrogate but, like Gov. Chris Christie (and ON THE COVER perhaps for similar reasons), he seems to have been pushed aside. If an investiga- tion materializes, then Trump—intentionally or not—would really have a bipartisan claim to draining the swamp.

Outside of Warren Buffet’s $30 billion gift to the Gates Foundation, this would be the biggest private investment yet in the social-services sector.

Who are your New York City donors? Several general partners are based in New York or have strong interests here: our board chair, Stanley Druckenmiller; Barbara Picower and the JPB Foundation; and Arthur, Becky and Laura Samberg of the Samberg Family Foundation. We all met by invest- ing collaboratively in Harlem Children’s Zone and backing the work of [founder] Geoff Canada. We have raised $750 million so far.

Deck the hauls s the load from this UPS truck on East 43rd Street shows, e-commerce continues to bite into brick-and-mortar sales, Aespecially during the holiday crunch. Across New York City’s retail industry, employment increased by just 2% from October 2015 to December 2015—less than half of the increases seen in 2014 (4.6%) and 2013 (5.4%). But even as retail stores suffer, other businesses are benefiting from the e-commerce boom, notably those shipping goods purchased online. Last year, UPS delivered 612 million parcels from Thanksgiving through December, includ- ing a peak of 36 million on Dec. 21. This holiday season, UPS expects to move more than 700 million packages, with a sin- gle-day peak of 40 million. But the shipper’s surging business isn’t resulting in any more hiring than usual. UPS will add 1,750 workers in the metro area this holiday season, a total on par with the past two years. Its ability to move more goods without adding workers is the result of improved efficiency from better scanning equipment, software that opti- mizes drivers’ routes and other upgrades. — GERALD SCHIFMAN BUCK ENNIS
