The U.S. Department of Justice and the state of North Carolina filed a lawsuit against First National Bank of Pennsylvania, accusing it of redlining, a lending discrimination practice. The bank settled the case, agreeing to pay charges related to discriminating against Black and Latino homebuyers. Additionally, a U.S. appeals court refused to dismiss a lawsuit claiming that Bayer's Roundup weedkiller caused cancer, dealing a setback to the company's efforts to fend off similar lawsuits. Several industry groups sued U.S. regulators over recent overhauls to the Community Reinvestment Act, arguing that the new rules meant to tackle redlining and boost lending to lower-income areas will discourage banks from lending.
