    • Lawsuit accuses 22 banks of manipulating U.S. Treasury auctions (Reuters) Hat tips to Tom Hickey (Mike Norman Economics) and Roger Erickson. Twenty-two financial companies that have served as primary dealers of U.S. Treasury securities were sued in federal court on Thursday, in what was described as the first nationwide class action alleging a conspiracy to manipulate Treasury auctions that harmed both investors and borrowers. According to the, filed in U.S. District Court in New York, the banks used chat rooms, instant messages and other means to swap confidential customer information and coordinate trading strategies in the roughly $12.5 trillion Treasury market. The complaint charges this enabled the banks to inflate prices on Treasuries they sold to investors in the pre-auction “when issued” market, and deflate prices when they bought Treasuries to cover their pre-auction sales, violating antitrust laws.
    • Clinton: I did not send or get classified emails on private account (Reuters) At least four emails from the private email account that Clinton used while secretary of state contained classified information, Inspector General Charles McCullough, who oversees U.S. intelligence agencies, told members of Congress in a letter on Thursday. Clinton said on Saturday she had “no idea” what were the emails mentioned in the letter.

London’s Metropolitan Police Service has admitted it is still carrying out the probe, which is being led by its counterterrorism department, after previously refusing to confirm or deny its existence on the grounds that doing so could be “detrimental to national security.” The admission was finally made after a seven month appeal under Britain’s Freedom of Information Act.
