A messy web of connections in a complex sanctions-busting case is raising troubling questions about potential conflicts of interest, corruption in Turkey and pro-Turkey lobbying by those close to the center of President Donald Trump’s orbit. Reza Zarrab, a young business mogul married to a Turkish pop star, was arrested in Florida last year. Giuliani and Mukasey are among those helping him. Turkey is pressing the U.S. to get the case tossed. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite, left, and Carolyn Kaster, Files)

People watch a TV screen showing an image of solitary cell of Seoul Detention Center used by former South Korean President Park Geun-hye during a news program at the Seoul Railway Station in Seoul, South Korea, Friday, March 31, 2017. For a person whose life always seemed to revolve around South Korea's huge presidential palace, the next several months are likely to be lived on a much smaller scale. Park entered the Seoul Detention Center in a black sedan before dawn Friday after a court approved her arrest on corruption allegations. The letters read: "Solitary cell of Seoul Detention Center".
