If you're looking for a recipe for making whipped cream, here's a few things I've learned from making my own whipped cream.
Half and Half does not work. You need the all the butterfat of the cream in order to make it whip.
Chill the whipping bowl and the beater for 10 minutes in the freezer before you begin making whipped cream.
Don't whip for more than 2-3 minutes. If you over-whip, you will have butter!
Any sugar works fine. I prefer to use powdered sugar because it dissolves more easily.
Vanilla extract is optional, especially if you are like me and you like the pure taste of the whipping cream itself.
Chill bowl and beaters for ten minutes in the freezer.
Remove cream from refrigerator and pour immediately into cold bowl. It is very important that the cream stays very cold. Don't let it sit on the counter.
Whip on high for 2-3 minutes, or until peaks form.
Do you use regular whipping cream, or does it have to be "heavy"?
Thanks, good to know! I've always used "heavy", but it's higher in fat and costs more…I'll try regular whipping next time! PS – I just discovered your blog a couple months ago and I just love it!
I love homemade whipped cream. After I learned how simple and easy it is to make it, I've not purchased from a store. Even when it was super cheap.
Plus, none of those nasty additives I can't even pronounce!


So Roni is a major Many Pantikin fan. No, really. The only reason she would watch Chicago Hope was the chance to see him appear. She's seen him live in concert (and yes, he DOES do the "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya..." line. He loves the fact people adore that). She has an undying hatred for Barbara Streisand because she didn't let him sing in Yentl.
So it was pretty much a given we would see the new Showtime series, "Dead Like Me".
To say this series is hysterical is an understatement. It's also smart, well written, with fun characters. If you get showtime, catch it. If you don't, find friends who do and have them tape it. Better yet, cave in and get the premium service... it's almost worth ordering just for this one series.
I might have found a Buffy replacement. Let's hope no one fucks it up.

Abortion's precarious state of play in Virginia
Ned Oliver, author of Axios Richmond
Data: Guttmacher Institute, Axios research. Cartogram: Kavya Beheraj/Axios
The potential overturning of Roe vs. Wade has thrust abortion to the forefront of the battle for the Virginia state legislature.
Why it matters: Even if Democrats hold onto their one-seat majority in the state Senate during next year's election, the party could still lose on abortion if one of their members — the notoriously unpredictable Senator Joe Morrissey — sides with the GOP, Axios Richmond's Ned Oliver writes.
Morrissey already co-sponsored a GOP bill earlier this year to ban most abortions after 20 weeks.
"I believe that there is a period when the fetus can feel pain and I remain open to legislation that would prevent an abortion when the fetus is so far along it feels pain," he tells Axios.
Flashback: Morrissey served three months in jail in 2015 on charges stemming from a relationship with his then-17-year-old receptionist, whom he later married. He also did time more than a decade earlier, after getting into a courthouse fistfight with an opposing lawyer while serving as the city's chief prosecutor.
Morrissey was in the news again earlier this month after he grew visibly enraged during his radio show when the producer pressed him to clarify his position on Roe vs. Wade.
What's happening: Morrissey's abortion stance is fueling interest in his challenger in the primary, former Delegate Lashrecse Aird, a Democrat from Petersburg.
"We talk a lot about the brick wall in the Virginia Senate," Aird tells Axios. "Well, that brick wall has a huge crack in it right now, and it's him."
Meanwhile, on the Republican side, party leaders have made it clear they don't see abortion as a winning issue in a state where elections rise and fall in moderate, suburban districts.
Governor Glenn Youngkin was secretly recorded on the campaign trail last year saying that he had to downplay the issue if he wanted to win.
In February, GOP leaders in the House of Delegates killed their own 20-week abortion ban bill, a procedural move that protected Republican delegates in swing districts from taking a formal stance on the issue.
Speaker Todd Gilbert has been silent on abortion since SCOTUS' draft opinion leaked.
The issue is nonetheless pitting members of the party's MAGA wing against each other.
Delegate Wren Williams recently attacked Delegate Marie March for a 2019 Facebook comment supportive of abortion rights. The lawmakers, both representing parts of southwest Virginia, reside in the same legislative district under new maps approved earlier this year — meaning one will lose their seat come the next election.
"Everyone loves babies and would never want to terminate their pregnancy," March wrote on Facebook. "However, many of my friends don't want Big Brother deciding what they can do with their bodies and I GET IT!"
March walked back the comment per the Roanoke Times, promising to both introduce and support state legislation limiting abortion rights.
Williams, a lawyer who represented Trump in one of his failed election lawsuits, said in a statement that she should drop her bid for the seat.
What's next: Republicans and Democrats will nominate candidates for the Virginia House and Senate next summer, but that timeline could change depending on how a judge rules in a pending lawsuit calling for new elections this November to make up for redistricting delays.

Maybe you're considering finishing your GED® test. Maybe you're considering finishing an associate's degree. Maybe you've hit a dead end in employment and you need a graduate degree or a technical certification. Whatever the goal, more and more people are heading back to college outside the normal 18–22 age range. Sometimes called nontraditional students, they are now the majority of attendees at institutions of higher learning. If you're wondering whether you should go back to school, here are six top reasons why your peers have already gone back.
Whether you're unsatisfied with your job, your boss, your social status, or your pay grade, going back to school could help you get a leg up in the professional world. Career advancement is a driving force for getting a degree because no one wants to earn an entry-level salary (or wage) after 15 years on the job. College grads make, on average, almost twice what high school grads make. That's why many returning students have decided to invest both the time and the money in a degree that could help them jump the gap.
Even if you like your current employment, it's wise to consider doing what you can to keep the job. Those who are currently employed and those who've recently been let go from a position are both finding that a college degree sometimes makes the difference. Unemployment rates for those who've never attended or finished college average as high as 5.2 percent, while the rates for those with a bachelor's degree are 2.7 percent on average. An education could make you more valuable to an employer and increase the odds that they'll keep you around. This is why so many are returning to their educations to hedge their bets against layoffs and other employment-based uncertainties.
Every now and then, life throws you a curveball that overturns the stability you've worked so hard to gain. The loss of a job, the death of a loved one, an empty nest, or even hitting a certain age are all reasons people have felt motivated to shake things up a bit. Sometimes lawyers become designers, welders become electricians, and janitors become writers. Across the spectrum, people are deciding they aren't quite doing what they want to be doing with their lives, so they head back to school to get the education necessary for a hard-right turn. Sure, you may be atypical applying for a job as a nurse with 10 years of plumbing experience, but employers will certainly respect the effort it took to get yourself qualified.
Many who raise teenagers learn that it's hard to encourage education in the next generation when you haven't exactly been a shining example yourself. Finishing what you started in high school or college is a great way to prove to your loved ones how important education is. Your success will help motivate them to follow in your footsteps. The same goes for first-generation college graduates who want to inspire family members to likewise return to their studies.
A degree, diploma, or certification can sometimes be worth it for no other reason than saying you did it. It's satisfying to call yourself a graduate; it means you've accomplished something that not everyone else has. It's a way to prove your worth to yourself and remind yourself of your value. You're likely to receive a lot of support and congratulations for it as well, as those close to you share in the victory.
"Imposter syndrome" is a real problem. Many people today feel terrified that they're faking their way through their jobs. They lack the confidence to move ahead in life with courage, and they doubt their every decision. Confidence is primarily a matter of preparation. Completing an education program can go a long way toward preparing you to be more confident. You're not the first to think you might need to brush up on a topic or hone your skills. You can certainly benefit from a decision to return to school, just as others have. As you might have noticed, this list isn't just about what others have done; it's also about what you can do for yourself. Going back to school could be easier now than it's ever been. You can study from the comfort of your own bedroom while still wearing pajamas. You can progress toward graduation on your timeframe, even with a demanding work schedule. There's never been a better time to go back to school and get what you want out of life.

Q: Geodesic cuffs of pairs of pants in a hyperbolic manifold- why are they disjoint? I'm trying to understand Kahn-Markovic's celebrated Immersing almost geodesic surfaces in a closed hyperbolic three manifold. There is something probably quite basic which I can't figure out.
We have $M^3= \mathbb{H}^3/\mathcal{G}$ a closed hyperbolic $3$-manifold, where $\mathcal{G}$ is a Kleinian group. Let $\Pi^0$ be a topological pair of pants with cuffs $C_0$, $C_1$, and $C_2$, and let $\rho\colon\thinspace \pi_1(\Pi^0)\to \mathcal{G}\subset PSL(2,\mathbb{C})$ be a faithful representation. Let $\gamma_i$ denote the geodesic in $M$ that represents the conjugacy class of $\rho(C_i)$ in $\mathcal{G}$ for $i=0,1,2$ (these become cuffs for pairs of pants which Kahn-Markovic construct inside $M$ and glue together to form an immersed almost geodesic surface).

Question: Why are $\gamma_0$, $\gamma_1$, and $\gamma_2$ disjoint?
It is essential to the construction that the cuffs indeed be disjoint, because if they intersect, reduced complex Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates don't exist (there is no "foot"). In fact, Kahn and Markovic need many pairs of pants inside $M$ to coexist, so not understanding why the cuffs are non-intersecting even for a single pair of pants is particularly frustrating.

A: This is an extended comment:
As Misha says, the geodesics might be immersed in general, and in fact the pants and the surfaces they construct will in general be highly immersed (lots of self-intersections).
If you'd like to visualize embedded geodesics, you can imagine the lifts to the unit tangent bundle, or for a given pair of pants, it will lift to an embedded pants in some covering space corresponding to the image of the fundamental group $\rho(\pi_1(\Pi^0))$. To understand the feet of $\gamma_i$, then you can work in this covering space. The feet will be at the points of the shortest geodesics connecting the three boundary components in pairs (seams). There's a canonical involution sending $\gamma_i$ to its inverse, fixing the seams, and thus the feet lie equally spaced about each geodesic. Then project the whole picture back down into $M$ to get the feet.

Cancer Has Spread To Brain - Have you ever heard of metastasis? This is one of the medical terms, which means the spread, especially the spread of cancer cells in the body. Cancer cells in the body can make the distribution to the organ or tissue in the surrounding areas even reaching the brain. The cell of cancer has spread to the brain can cause brain metastasis. Brain metastases can occur up nearly 25% of the cancer spreading. The number of these events even exceeds the number of cancer that starts in the brain itself. Some types of cancer are often spread and become a brain metastasis is lung cancer and breast cancer. However, other types of cancer are also very likely to metastasize to the brain such as skin cancer and bone cancer.
Many people may feel confused when given information by the examining doctor that the cancer has spread to the brain and he suffered other types of cancer. Patients with cancer who experience a brain metastasis or spread of cancer cells that reach the brain are the presence of a severe headache. Head pain arises due to the tumor cells that take up space in the brain when the brain has limited space with the skull. The presence of tumor cells spread to the brain can cause increased pressure inside the skull into which ultimately lead to tremendous pain. In fact, symptoms of brain metastases usually more severe than experienced symptoms of primary cancer. It also causes many cancer patients will experience a brain tumor is detected before the primary cancer can be detected.
Although the primary brain tumors can occur in anyone, but it is apparently less common than brain tumor is a secondary tumor as metastatic. If the cancer has spread to the brain, you certainly cannot assume it is a simple condition because it is also very dangerous to the health of your body. In this case, the right treatment will be very important to do. Patients can receive care and treatment of brain metastases despite the primary cancer is still in his body. Symptoms of more severe brain metastases often make patient feels unwell and this will make the process of treatment of the primary cancer is inhibited so that the handle of brain metastases in advance would be more important to do.
One method of treatment that can be done to treat brain metastasis is using Gamma Knife technology. This treatment method can be an alternative option to eliminate the cancer has spread to the brain with minimal complication rate.

Q&A with Robin Stevens Payes
Robin Stevens Payes is the author of Da Vinci's Way, a new novel for kids. It's a sequel to Edge of Yesterday. The series focuses on a girl who travels back in time to meet Leonardo da Vinci. There's an accompanying interactive Edge of Yesterday website that encourages kids to share their storytelling skills and learn more about science and history.
Q: Why did you decide to write a second book about your character Charley, and do you think she's changed at all from one book to the next?
A: I have always known this would be a series. The first book was pretty much a warm-up for the experience of time traveling that sets the stage for future adventures, but it didn't allow me to do the thing that interests me the most—to put a modern-day girl into the context of such an alien world—our own Planet Earth 500 years ago.
She is changed from the get-go in Da Vinci's Way: first, she experiences this brain-scrambling ride through time, only to arrive, injured, in an unknown place and time.
She not only has to conquer her fear of the unknown—but she does this under a hail of cannon fire. When she meets this "crazed" man yelling at her, she isn't even sure what language he's speaking. And her outfit is totally unsuitable!
Q: What kind of research did you do to write this second book?
A: I have been researching Leonardo for a very long time. When I began this story in 1992, it was as a screenplay, and I hoped to bring it out as part of the 500th anniversary of the discovery of the New World by Columbus—a period in which Leonardo thrived.
The Web was in its infancy. There were art books and old biographies, but not much else. Now, it seems like there is a whole global fascination with the man, his artistic genius, and his penchant for dreaming and invention.
But the books go far beyond Leonardo da Vinci himself; my goal has always been to create a world. That is much more of a challenge, as the Renaissance was such a break from the medieval times, and the Florence of the late 15th century was changing at a pace never before experienced (at least outside classical times).
Inventions and innovations like the printing press, more accurate mapmaking, increasing literacy and access to books, the widening reach and power of the Church, the invention of banking, trade, transport that could travel across the globe (think the navigators just then landing in the Americas), medicine, art and architecture and the beginnings of science.
It was much later, really, when I read Salman Rushdie's The Enchantress of Florence, that I gleaned that the Renaissance as "rebirth" was a pretty messy affair undergoing difficult growing pains.
In many ways, it parallels the ways rapid change and systems breakdown (and new technologies) have spurred such innovation in our own times.
Q: Do you usually plot your books out, or do you make many changes as you're writing?
A: For the first book, I wrote it as a screenplay. There was a very definite structure you have to have. It provided an easy point to do the novelization of my screenplay. I created an outline for the screenplay, and it worked for the first three books!
I'm working on book four, [about 18th century French noblewoman Emilie du Chatelet, a mathematician and physicist who was a consort of Voltaire's,] which started with an outline, and then it went completely off the rails. The characters have minds of their own.
Q: How are things going with the website that accompanies the Edge of Yesterday books?
A: It's going really well. Everything's been free and open—there's great content, quizzes, games, interactive features. Now I'm getting traction with schools and afterschool programs, and I spent the last few months putting a lot of content behind a paywall.
I'm excited—a history class at St. Andrews [in the D.C. area] is going to use Edge of Yesterday in a history project. They're going to pick topics and write content as part of their history class.
Q: You've mentioned that you're working on a book about Emilie du Chatelet. What more can you tell us about her?
A: The way I set it up is that there was an 18th century French philosopher/mathematician/writer/scientist who translated Newton, provided interpretations of Newton, won prizes for mathematical abilities, laid the foundation for relativity two centuries before Einstein…she was the mother of four, and no one's ever heard of her!
I was in France this summer, and was in the town where she's buried, and her tomb is completely blank. There's no name, date, identification.
Q: Anything else we should know?
A: This phase [of the overall project] seems to be where we're involved in getting this into the curriculum in schools for middle-school age, primarily.
On the website there's a section I want to develop as a teen publishing platform. Teens can submit their creative work. It requires some effort on the part of the contributors—it will be curated.
I'm encouraging kids to submit their creative works, and I hope it will morph into teens interacting with one another, with creativity.

Carl Williams (November 11, 1959 – April 7, 2013), nicknamed "The Truth", was an American boxer who competed as a professional from 1982 to 1997. He challenged twice for heavyweight world titles; the IBF title against Larry Holmes in 1985; and the undisputed title against Mike Tyson in 1989. At regional level he held the USBA heavyweight title from 1987 to 1991.
Early years[edit]
"I've been fighting all my life. It was just a matter of deciding I wanted to pursue it in the ring instead of on the street,"
—Williams on his choice of boxing.[1]
Williams spent his childhood in South Jamaica, Queens. He was raised by his grandmother. After his grandmother died, Williams began to box at the age of nineteen, training with the Daniel M. O'Connell Park Gym in Saint Albans, New York (also known as the New York City Recreations O'Connell Center,) walking six miles to his gym and back each day, and showing a natural talent and determination.[2] "He's a natural, no question about that," said his trainer, Vic Hanson.[1]
Amateur career[edit]
With a couple of amateur fights under his belt Williams won two New York Golden Gloves Championships. Williams won both the 1980 New York Golden Gloves Sub-Novice Heavyweight Championship and the 1981 Heavyweight Open Championship.
Highlights[edit]
Williams stopped (RSC 2) John Kibelka of the New York City Recreation in the finals of the 1980 Sub-Novice Heavyweight Championship.
Three knockouts and one decision propelled Williams into the 1981 Golden Gloves.[3] In 1981 Williams stopped (RSC-2) Ronald Turner of the 25th Precinct in the heavyweight finals of the 55th New York Golden Gloves at 2:08.[3][4]
Williams won the heavyweight Intercity Golden Gloves over Craig Bodzianowski of Chicago, April 27, 1981 at the Madison Square Garden.[5] "punching like a cruise missile," in words of sports writer Tom Hanrahan[6]
At that time he wanted to fight the '81 open champ, Mitch Green from Bronx, who has since turned pro.[3]
His other notable achievements include:
Gold at the North American Championships (201 lbs), Shreveport, Louisiana, September 1981:[7]
1/2: Defeated Patrick Fennel (Canada) RSC 3 (the fight was halted after a physician examined a cut over Fennell's eye and ruled he was too badly hurt to continue[8])
Finals: Defeated Roberto Gomez (Cuba)
Gold at the Boxing World Cup (201 lbs), Montreal, Canada, November 1981:
1/2: Defeated Nam Hee Kim (South Korea) KO 1
Finals: Defeated Alexander Yagubkin (Soviet Union) by unanimous decision, 5–0
Williams finished his amateur career with 22 fights, completing a record of 21–1.[9]
Professional career[edit]
Williams soon turned pro, signing a contract with Ron Katz of the Top Rank. After the initial successes he moved to a suburban motel in White Plains, New York, in order to concentrate on training, and stay away from big-city temptations. He was trained by Carmen Graziano.[10][11]
Williams' first title shot was against Larry Holmes, a fight he lost in a controversial decision. His next fight was a victory against Jesse Ferguson. He then suffered a devastating knockout loss to Mike Weaver, which took him sixteen months to regain his shape and get back to the ring.
Williams is perhaps best known for having fought and lost to Mike Tyson (whom he first faced in sparring sessions, August 1, 1983, six years before the title fight, while Tyson was a 17-years-old amateur and Williams was 23 years old with a professional record 11-0)[12] in a battle for the undisputed heavyweight championship. The first round knockout loss to Tyson in 1989 was a devastating defeat for Williams. Midway through the round, Tyson slipped a jab from Williams and loaded up with one of the most devastating counter-punches of his career, smashing Williams and sending him down for an eight count. The referee waved off the fight and Williams immediately launched a mild protest to the official and ringside judges but to no avail. He believed that the fight was stopped too early and he was not given more of an opportunity to demonstrate to the official that he was not disoriented after the knock-down. In a post fight in-ring interview, Williams appeared to be uninjured, spoke clearly, and expressed his disappointment that he was not given the opportunity to "show my stuff." Williams also called for a rematch, however this never occurred.
After the defeat by Tyson, Williams became a journeyman heavyweight. His other notable fights include losses to Larry Holmes, Tim Witherspoon, Tommy Morrison, and Frank Bruno, and wins against Bert Cooper and Trevor Berbick.
Williams retired in 1997 with a professional record of 30-10-0-1 with 21 knockouts.
After retirement[edit]
Williams worked for Allied-SpectaGuard in New York City at the World Trade Center as a security agent and field supervisor. After the September 11 attacks, Williams worked for Verizon in Queens, New York, as a security guard. Later he worked for Forte Security Group in New York City, as a security guard at the Copacabana and Marquee nightclubs until he became ill.
Death[edit]
Williams died on April 7, 2013, of esophageal cancer. He was survived by a daughter, Carla, and a son, Daniel. He was predeceased by his 12-year-old daughter Nijah, who died of leukemia.[13]
References in popular culture[edit]
Williams was the inspiration for a parody character on the Fox program In Living Color, Carl "The Tooth" Williams, portrayed by Jamie Foxx, a boxer so named because he only had one tooth. Williams would live his everyday life in his boxing apparel, making all appearances while singing the opening line to "Nuthin' But a 'G' Thang."

What an idyllic and picturesque setting on 1.64ha for this stunning designer home with 312m2 under roof.
Very private and set well back from the road on level land, the quality four bedroom home has a wonderful sense of openness. Boasting high ceilings, plenty of living and lounging areas, air conditioned bedrooms and fabulous outside areas too, the home presents as new. The main bedroom has a fantastic walk in robe and decadent ensuite with double rain head showers. An adjoining room makes for the third sitting area or could be a study, home office or even a nursery depending on your needs. Three more queen size bedrooms at the other end of the house have their own dedicated family room complete with a hidden wet bar for added convenience and are serviced by a large family size bathroom.
Bamboo timber floors throughout with plenty of glass sliders in the open plan living area to capture the pretty outlook. Fabulous dream kitchen to create and inspire with top quality appliances and a central island bench with waterfall edge, perfect for extra storage yet also doubles as a table and another place to gather.
Outside is a full length timber verandah and covered timber deck for relaxing or entertaining in style whilst overlooking the sparkling in ground pool. Set slightly away from the home is the large three bay shed (10.5m x 9.5m) with extra high door, built in shelving, insulation, power and water. Water is plentiful with the benefit of town water, rainwater tanks, and two beautiful dams. All walkable, the land is a delightful mix of lawn areas, low maintenance gardens, fruit trees and some taller trees for shade. Attractive post and rail fence entry with the boundary fully fenced too.
This location is perfect with close by Lake MacDonald for canoeing or fishing, the Noosa trail network for walking or horse riding, also good for mountain biking and just a short drive to bustling Cooroy. Noosa beaches are only about 30 minutes away. There is so much on offer here, an inspection is a must.

Client: Kalypso
Kalypso is a popular beach club in Zrće, on the island of Pag. For the unaware, travelers often call Zrće "the Croatian Ibiza." For the very unaware, this means it's one giant party spot. Kalypso tasked us with creating a new visual identity to reflect their rock 'n roll lifestyle. Since they're one of the hottest clubs this side of the Adriatic, we couldn't refuse.
We used a series of elements to create the main logo, a stylized K to reflect the club's name. You know, because it says Kalypso wait where are you going
We used a hexagonal shell to reflect Kalypso's logo as a "hive" for partiers and travelers of all sorts. This worked will with Kalypso's identity as a whole, which was to front a futuristic logo to convey the club's taste in the latest music trends.


Shawn Michaels work in the ring, but that he loved him backstage too. While not completely backing up Hawk's claim, Bret Hart has stated that while McMahon seldom socialized with the superstars, but that he always made time for HBK. To add credence to this feud, Vince was caught visibly weeping during HBK's Hall of Fame induction.


Looking for a driving job that doesn't require a CDL license?
While your options may be limited, you can still make a living driving without one. A CDL is only required if you are driving a Class A truck or a combination of vehicles with a gross weight of 26,001 pounds or more.
If you don't have a CDL, but you intend on obtaining one, there are numerous trucking companies that offer sponsored training programs.
Some companies, like CR England, Werner and Schneider, have partnered with truck driving schools all over the country and can help you obtain your CDL license quickly. The great thing about working with companies like this is that they will likely offer you a job once your training is complete.
If you're looking for jobs with no CDL required, a job as a chauffeur or taxi driver is a great option. As a chauffeur or taxi driver, you'll make a living transporting people around. Depending on your location, this type of job can be very demanding, and your schedule may vary from week to week. Expect to work nights and weekends.
While you won't be required to have a CDL license, you will be required to have a chauffeur's license.
Taxi drivers and chauffeurs are in high demand in major cities. And with companies like Uber, you can earn money while driving without even having to obtain a chauffer's license. Everyday drivers, like you, can earn a living transporting customers to their desired destination.
To get hired in this industry, you'll need to pass a personal background check, have a clean driving record, and possess a valid driver's license.
While it's not quite as exciting as an OTR trucking job, working as a delivery or mover driver will allow you to drive for a living without having to obtain your CDL license.
In the moving industry, a CDL is often not required for smaller moves, but you'll need a clean driving record to get hired. As an added bonus, you'll get satisfaction in helping people get through one of the more stressful aspects of life: moving.
There are also career options in the delivery industry. Positions vary greatly and can be found in many industries, including the food industry. Pay will also vary greatly depending on your location and your employer.
Some delivery jobs will come with additional responsibilities. Lowe's, for instance, offers non-CDL driving jobs, but you will be required to assist with the installation of merchandise and returns as well as unloading and checking appliances.
Aside from the food and home improvement industry, you may also find non-CDL delivery jobs in the grocery industry. Many supermarkets are now offering home delivery services that don't require drivers to have a commercial driver's license. Peapod, a home grocery delivery service offered by Stop & Shop, is one example, and the company has many non-CDL openings available all across the Northeast.
Many Courier jobs don't require a CDL. DHL offers van driving jobs that won't require a commercial driver's license. These jobs involve the picking up and delivering of packages to customers. Couriers must be physically fit, and some companies will require drivers to be able to lift a certain amount of weight.
Keep in mind that your job will be to deliver the packages to the customers, so you will be doing more than just driving the vehicle from stop to stop. Great customer service, punctuality and excellent driving skills are just a few of the many traits you'll need to have in order to succeed as a courier.
Want a local driving job? Try the U.S. Postal Service. Jobs in this industry may be harder to get nowadays, but they offer an excellent starting salary and fantastic benefits.
If you're interested in a career as a mail carrier, double check the position to ensure that you will actually be driving a vehicle on the job. Some mail carriers do not drive vehicles to deliver mail, but rather walk from door to door on their route.
Some companies will hire CDL driver assistants on a part-time basis. In this type of position, your primary responsibility would be to assist the CDL driver in loading, unloading and possibly delivering merchandise to customers.
Nestle Waters offers this type of position seasonally. In their case, the assistant acts as a point of contact between customers and the company.
Why You Should Consider Obtaining a CDL License?
There are numerous jobs available to you even without a CDL license, but obtaining one will open up even more opportunities.
With a CDL license, you can work as a company or independent driver, and have the opportunity to travel all over the country. Many of the non CDL jobs limit you to driving locally and sticking to a particular route. As a trucker, your daily schedule and work in general will vary from one day (or week) to the next.
Class A license: This is the classification that most people are familiar with. A Class A license will give you the ability to drive any combination of vehicles with a combined weight of 26,001 pounds or more – provided the vehicle that is being towed is over 10,000 pounds.
Class B license: This license will allow you to drive a single vehicle with a weight of 26,001 pounds or more, but cannot tow a vehicle in excess of 10,000 pounds. Common Class B CDL jobs include bus drivers, straight trucks and dump trucks.
Class C license: This classification will allow you to drive any single or combination of vehicles that does not meet the Class A or Class B definition, but is not designed to transport 16 more passengers or placarded for the transport of hazardous materials.
To obtain your CDL license, you'll need to take the CDL test. The training school you attend will teach you the necessary skills you need to operate a commercial vehicle and help prepare you for the test. You may also take a CDL practice test to ensure that you're ready for the final exam.
If you're looking for a driving job that doesn't require a CDL license, you have plenty of options. From chauffeuring to delivering goods, serving as a courier or acting as a CDL driver helper, you can still earn a living while driving out on the open road. That being said, obtaining a CDL license will open the door to new job opportunities and the chance to travel across the country.

Carrière et responsabilités publiques

Haut fonctionnaire et préfet
En 1971, il devient directeur de cabinet du préfet du Finistère. En 1973, il devient secrétaire général pour les affaires économiques de la Guadeloupe.

Nommé sous-préfet hors classe, il travaille auprès du préfet de la région Centre, puis est secrétaire général de la préfecture de l'Hérault, puis des Hauts-de-Seine.

En 1991, il est nommé préfet des Hautes-Alpes.

En 1994, Charles Pasqua l'appelle à ses côtés, au ministère de l'Intérieur et de l'Aménagement du territoire, comme directeur-adjoint de cabinet, puis le nomme directeur général de la police nationale.

En 1998, Claude Guéant est nommé préfet de la région Franche-Comté et du Doubs. En 2000, il est nommé préfet de la région Bretagne, de la zone de défense Ouest, et d'Ille-et-Vilaine.

Directeur de cabinet de Nicolas Sarkozy
Il devient le directeur de cabinet de Nicolas Sarkozy, tout d'abord de 2002 à 2004 successivement à l'Intérieur et à l'Économie et aux Finances, puis à nouveau de  à  à l'Intérieur. Entretemps, il est nommé au ministère des Finances.

Lors de la présidentielle en 2007, il est directeur de campagne de Nicolas Sarkozy, après le refus du président Jacques Chirac de le nommer préfet de police de Paris.

Secrétaire général de la présidence de la République
Une fois élu, Nicolas Sarkozy le nomme, le , secrétaire général de la présidence de la République. L'influence importante qu'il a auprès du président de la République lui vaut les surnoms de « cardinal », « Premier ministre bis » ou « vice-président ».

Début 2010, il fait valoir ses droits à la retraite en tant que préfet hors-classe à compter du . Il reste néanmoins secrétaire général de la présidence de la République et cumule donc son traitement avec sa retraite de préfet.

Ministre de l'Intérieur, de l'Outre-mer, des Collectivités territoriales et de l'Immigration
Claude Guéant est nommé ministre de l'Intérieur, de l'Outre-mer, des Collectivités territoriales et de l'Immigration le . Il s'installe à l'hôtel de Beauvau le lendemain, après la passation de pouvoir avec son prédécesseur, Brice Hortefeux.

Il est considéré comme un représentant de l'aile droite de l'UMP et est souvent accusé par l'opposition d'être sur la même ligne politique que le Front national : moins d'un mois après avoir succédé à Brice Hortefeux, le ministre tient, sur l'immigration et les musulmans, divers propos jugés insultants par l'opposition et qui ne font pas l'unanimité à l'UMP. De même, il affirme le  lors d'un colloque de l'Union nationale inter-universitaire (UNI) :  Ce discours, préparé par le philosophe Yves Roucaute, provoque un tollé et conduit à une question du député Serge Letchimy pendant les questions au gouvernement du , pendant laquelle il déclare à Claude Guéant : « Vous nous ramenez jour après jour à ces idéologies européennes qui ont donné naissance aux camps de concentration », ce qui provoque un incident de séance.

Fin , il rédige une circulaire sur le sujet de l'immigration professionnelle, couramment appelée « circulaire Guéant ». Celle-ci est contestée par des organisations étudiantes, qui l'accusent de restreindre la possibilité pour les étudiants étrangers de travailler en France après y avoir obtenu leur diplôme. Cette circulaire est abrogée un an plus tard, peu après l'arrivée de François Hollande au pouvoir.

Le , Claude Guéant se déclare opposé à toute dépénalisation de l'usage du cannabis en France, considérant que cela irait à l'encontre d'une lutte efficace contre les trafics.

Fin , il annonce un renforcement des mesures répressives dans le domaine de la sécurité routière.

Le , il est confronté aux attentats de mars 2012 à Toulouse et Montauban. Devant l'absence totale de mouvement à l'intérieur du domicile de Mohammed Merah, Claude Guéant exprime des doutes sur le fait qu'il soit encore vivant et ordonne l'assaut. La consigne est de le prendre vivant. Le terroriste est tué lors de l'assaut donné par les policiers du RAID.

Le , Claude Guéant fait publier le décret d'application de la loi Loppsi 2, fusionnant le STIC policier (système de traitement des infractions constatées) avec le JUDEX de la gendarmerie (système judiciaire de documentation et d'exploitation). Le , trois jours avant la démission du gouvernement dont il fait partie, le ministre de l'Intérieur fait publier le décret d'application d'une autre mesure de la loi Loppsi 2, le « fichier d'analyse sérielle ».

L'après gouvernement
Sa candidature aux législatives de 2012 dans la  des Hauts-de-Seine est contestée dans l'opposition et au sein de son camp politique. Il est finalement battu au second tour (avec 38,41 %) par le dissident UMP Thierry Solère (39,35 %).

Il soutient François Fillon en vue du congrès pour la présidence de l'UMP, puis apporte son soutien à la motion Droite forte, la motion déposée par Guillaume Peltier et Geoffroy Didier, se réclamant du sarkozysme, en .

Carrière privée
Le , il fait usage de la passerelle (décret du ), qui autorisait tout ancien haut fonctionnaire titulaire d'une maîtrise de droit et ayant exercé une activité juridique pendant au moins huit années à devenir avocat (disposition abrogée en ). Présentant l'épreuve orale portant sur le Code de déontologie des avocats, il recueille la note de 18/20 à cet examen. Il prête le serment d'avocat au palais de justice de Paris. Selon l'annuaire du barreau de Paris, il n'exerce plus depuis le .

En , il est nommé conseiller stratégique de International Mining & Infrastructure Corporation plc, groupe minier présent au Gabon et au Cameroun. Il exerce la fonction sans en informer l'Ordre des avocats de Paris. Claude Guéant n'est plus inscrit à cet Ordre depuis le .

Affaires judiciaires et controverses

Affaire Sarkozy-Kadhafi, financement de la campagne présidentielle de 2007

Claude Guéant et la Libye
Claude Guéant, directeur de campagne du candidat Nicolas Sarkozy pour la campagne présidentielle de 2007, s'était rendu à plusieurs reprises en Libye entre 2005 et 2007 pour y rencontrer de hauts dignitaires du régime Kadhafi. Avant de devenir directeur de campagne, il avait occupé le poste de directeur de cabinet de Nicolas Sarkozy au ministère de l'intérieur. Officiellement, ses visites en Libye avaient pour but de parler d'immigration et de lutte contre le terrorisme. En coulisses, le cabinet Sarkozy et Ziad Takieddine négocient en secret des contrats commerciaux : ventes d'armes ou gisement gazier pour le groupe Total. Il fut aussi l'homme clé de la tentative de blanchiment judiciaire d'Abdallah Senoussi, patron des services spéciaux libyens et beau-frère de Mouammar Kadhafi, condamné en 1999 à une peine de perpétuité en France dans l'affaire de l'attentat contre le DC10 d'UTA et visé depuis lors par un mandat d'arrêt international. En , à quelques jours de l'offensive militaire occidentale en Libye qui aboutira quelques mois plus tard à son exécution, Kadhafi avait affirmé qu'un « grave secret » allait « entraîner la chute de Sarkozy, voire son jugement en lien avec le financement de sa campagne électorale ». Quelques jours après, son fils Saif al-Islam Kadhafi avait déclaré : « Il faut que Sarkozy rende l'argent qu'il a accepté de la Libye pour financer sa campagne électorale. C'est nous qui avons financé sa campagne, et nous en avons la preuve. »

Affaire Takieddine : information judiciaire ouverte en 2013
À la suite des enquêtes sur l'homme d'affaires Ziad Takieddine dans l'organisation d'un financement de la campagne électorale de Nicolas Sarkozy de 2007 par le chef d'état libyen Mouammar Kadhafi à hauteur de  d'euros, le parquet de Paris ouvre le  une information judiciaire contre X... pour « corruption active et passive », « trafic d'influence, faux et usage de faux », « abus de biens sociaux », « blanchiment, complicité et recel de ces délits ».

Selon Ziad Takieddine – intermédiaire dans les ventes d'armes entre la France et le Pakistan, condamné le 15 juin 2020 à 5 ans de prison ferme – « M. Guéant donnait des indications bancaires à M. Bachir Saleh », ex-directeur du cabinet de Kadhafi, qui « faisait des comptes rendus écrits de ses visites en France, destinés à M. Kadhafi ». M. Guéant a qualifié ces déclarations « d'affabulations », « Jamais quelque Libyen que ce soit, quelque autorité libyenne que ce soit, n'est passé par mon intermédiaire pour alimenter des enrichissements personnels ou bien la campagne de 2007 ».

Moussa Koussa, ancien chef des secrets extérieurs libyens a été entendu le  par des magistrats au Qatar, où il s'est exilé pendant la guerre avec la bénédiction de la France. Il a indiqué que le régime Kadhafi « avait des relations fortes avec la France, c'est M. Claude Guéant, qui était mon interlocuteur. On se suivait ». Moussa Koussa est le signataire de la note révélée par Mediapart sur le déblocage de  d'euros au moment de la campagne 2007.

Le parquet de Paris diligente une enquête préliminaire qui conduit à la perquisition du domicile de Claude Guéant le . La perquisition est également menée afin de déterminer le rôle qu'il a joué en tant que secrétaire général de l'Élysée lors de l'arbitrage rendu en faveur de Bernard Tapie dans le cadre de l'affaire du Crédit lyonnais. Les saisies effectuées lors de cette perquisition ont conduit à l'ouverture de nouvelles enquêtes comme celle sur l'affaire des tableaux d'Andries van Eertvelt.

Garde à vue et mise en examen en mars 2015
Dans le cadre de cette enquête, il est placé en garde à vue le  puis fait l'objet d'une mise en examen pour « blanchiment de fraude fiscale en bande organisée », « faux et usage de faux » dans le cadre de l'enquête sur le soupçon de financement libyen de la campagne de 2007 de Nicolas Sarkozy. Dans le même temps, un nouveau protagoniste de cette affaire, l'homme d'affaires saoudien Ali Bugshan, proche d'un autre intermédiaire français lié au clan Sarkozy, Alexandre Djouhri, a également été mis en examen par les juges.

Confiscation des biens immobiliers en juin 2017
Les juges d'instruction ont pris une ordonnance de confiscation à l'encontre de l'appartement parisien et de la résidence secondaire de Claude Guéant. Ce dernier peut continuer à occuper ses biens mais ne peut les vendre. L'enquête révèle que Claude Guéant n'a retiré que 800€ d'espèce de son compte bancaire entre  et fin 2012 alors qu'il est soupçonné d'avoir « manipulé au moins 200 000 euros » en cash sans que l'on connaisse l'origine de ces fonds, ce qui conduit les policiers à s'interroger sur son « usage immodéré des espèces ».

Autres mises en examen en 2018 et 2020
Dans le cadre de l'enquête sur le présumé financement libyen de la campagne de Nicolas Sarkozy en 2007, Claude Guéant est de nouveau mis en examen, cette fois pour ,  et .
Il a été mis en examen le  pour « association de malfaiteurs » après neuf autres infractions dans ce dossier.

Affaire des sondages de l'Élysée

Le , il est entendu dans l'enquête sur les sondages de l'Élysée. Ces investigations portent sur la régularité des contrats conclus sous le quinquennat de Nicolas Sarkozy entre l'Élysée et neuf instituts de sondage, notamment la société Publifact de Patrick Buisson sans mise en concurrence préalable. La garde à vue est levée le jour même au soir. Si Claude Guéant n'est alors pas mis en examen, la justice met la main sur des notes signées de sa main qui attestent son implication dans le dossier.

Le , Patrick Buisson est à son tour entendu puis mis en examen pour « recel de délit de favoritisme », « abus de biens sociaux » et « détournement de fonds publics par un particulier ».

Claude Guéant est mis en examen le mardi  pour « complicité de favoritisme » et placé sous le statut de témoin assisté pour « complicité de détournement de fonds publics ». Le 21 janvier 2022, Claude Guéant est condamné en première instance, à un an de prison, dont quatre mois avec sursis, avec mandat de dépôt différé. Incarcéré depuis une précédente décision dans l'affaire des primes en liquide du ministère de l'intérieur, il choisit d'être absent de l'audience. Il fait appel du jugement.

Affaire des tableaux flamands
Au cours de la perquisition effectuée le  dans le cadre du financement libyen de la campagne de Nicolas Sarkozy en 2007, les enquêteurs découvrent un versement de  sur son compte bancaire ainsi que des factures payées en liquide, pour un montant d'environ . Claude Guéant affirme que les  sont le fruit d'une vente de deux tableaux d'Andries van Eertvelt à un avocat étranger (malaisien). Le ministère de la Culture a affirmé n'avoir jamais reçu de demande de certificat d'exportation pour la vente des œuvres de van Eertvelt, alors que tout tableau d'une valeur supérieure à  doit obligatoirement obtenir ce document pour être autorisé à sortir de France. Le délit d'exportation illégale de trésors nationaux est passible de deux années d'emprisonnement et d'une amende de .

Néanmoins, le montant de cette vente à l'exportation, qui n'aurait pas été déclarée aux douanes, est supérieur aux cours de ces tableaux selon les experts. Les toiles d'Andries van Eertvelt, spécialiste des batailles navales, se vendent, en moyenne, à . Et, selon Artprice, la « valeur type » d'un tableau comparable à ceux évoqués par Claude Guéant, est de  (hors frais). Claude Guéant a été placé en garde à vue dans le cadre de cette affaire le vendredi . Les enquêteurs soupçonnent le cabinet d'avocats d'être une simple « boîte à lettres » dans la transaction, et la vente de tableaux un écran pour des mouvements de fonds suspects. L'affaire porte sur beaucoup plus que des montages financiers autour des tableaux d'un peintre hollandais sans grand renom. Elle plonge dans les arcanes de l'État et amène la justice à visiter les coulisses des contrats internationaux, un monde parallèle avec ses intermédiaires occultes.

Le banquier soupçonné d'avoir effectué le virement en sa faveur, Wahib Nacer (dont les domiciles et bureaux ont été perquisitionnés le  en Suisse, de même que ceux de l'intermédiaire Alexandre Djouhri, ce proche de Dominique de Villepin devenu, après 2007, l'un des conseillers officieux de Guéant), était l'un des gestionnaires des comptes de Bachir Saleh, le patron du puissant fonds d'investissement libyen en Afrique. Les juges d'instruction ont estimé que Claude Guéant avait participé à la « confection d'un ensemble de documents (promesse d'achat, lettre, facture) destinés à formaliser la vente fictive » des tableaux.

La direction nationale des vérifications de situations fiscales de la DGFiP estime que ces  auraient dû être déclarés comme revenu imposable et a par conséquent établi un redressement de  (50 % d'impôt sur la prestation rémunérée,  d'intérêts de retard et  de pénalité pour « manœuvres frauduleuses »).

Après avoir juré n'avoir jamais reçu le moindre cadeau d'Alexandre Djouhri, Claude Guéant reconnait devant le juge d'instruction, le , qu'il s'est fait offrir en 2006 une montre de la marque suisse Patek Philippe d'une valeur de 11000 € (en plus des 500 000 € versés en 2008 en lien avec Bachir Saleh). Il reconnaît aussi avoir reçu en 2006 une pièce d'un kilogramme d'or de la part de Sergueï Pougatchev, ancien sénateur russe alors proche de Vladimir Poutine. À la suite de cette audition, Claude Guéant est mis en examen pour corruption passive.

Condamnation pour détournement de fonds publics dans l'affaire dite
Claude Guéant a reçu des sommes d'argent en liquide non déclarées pour environ , provenant selon lui de . Il assure que ces sommes lui ont été versées lorsqu'il était directeur de cabinet de Nicolas Sarkozy au ministère de l'intérieur. Claude Guéant affirme que . Or, les « fonds spéciaux » des ministères ont été supprimés en 2002 par Lionel Jospin, et n'existent plus au moment où Claude Guéant prétend les avoir perçus. Cette défense est également démentie par les anciens ministres Daniel Vaillant et Roselyne Bachelot. Le , Manuel Valls annonce l'ouverture d'une enquête interne concernant les « primes de cabinet » qui auraient été versées au sein du ministère de l'Intérieur.

Un rapport d'inspection de  indique que Guéant, « à partir de l'été 2002 et au plus tard jusqu'à l'été 2004 », a perçu environ  en liquide par mois, prélevés sur le budget alloué aux frais d'enquête et de surveillance de la police.

La Cour des comptes précise le  que 34 millions d'euros de frais d'enquête ont été perçus par le cabinet du directeur général de la police nationale entre 2002 et 2012 (où se sont succédé Michel Gaudin, puis Frédéric Péchenard). L'emploi de ces sommes est « totalement discrétionnaire » : « Il n'en a été conservé aucune pièce justificative jusqu'en 2011 ».

2013 : enquête préliminaire
Une enquête préliminaire est ouverte le  par le parquet de Paris pour « détournements de fonds publics et recel ». Elle conduit à la garde à vue de Claude Guéant et de Michel Gaudin (ancien directeur général de la police nationale) le . L'enquête préliminaire Guéant-Gaudin est ensuite transférée du parquet de Paris au parquet national financier (PNF). Le PNF annonce le  le renvoi en correctionnelle par voie de citation directe de Claude Guéant et de Michel Gaudin. Le parquet national financier leur reproche des faits de « détournement de fonds publics, complicité et recel », au sujet des primes en espèces que se versaient certains membres du cabinet Sarkozy de la place Beauvau, en les prélevant sur l'enveloppe des frais d'enquête des policiers. Des factures trouvées lors d'une perquisition en 2013 montrent d'importants achats en espèces pour son appartement personnel pour une somme total de  pour la période 2006 - 2009.

2015 : condamnations en première instance
Le , Claude Guéant est condamné par le tribunal correctionnel de Paris pour « complicité de détournement de fonds publics et recel » à deux ans de prison avec sursis,  d'amende et cinq ans d'interdiction d'exercer toute fonction publique. Dans ses motivations, le tribunal précise que Claude Guéant a,

2017-2021 : aggravation des condamnations en appel, pourvoi en cassation rejeté, incarcération
Claude Guéant fait appel de ce jugement et le , la cour d'appel de Paris aggrave les peines en le condamnant à deux ans de prison dont un ferme, assortis d'une amende de , ainsi que de l'interdiction d'exercer toute fonction publique pendant cinq ans. L'avocat de Claude Guéant, Philippe Bouchez El Ghozi, annonce qu'ils allaient se pourvoir en cassation.

Le , la Cour de cassation confirme la peine prononcée par la cour d'appel de Paris en 2017. En définitive, Claude Guéant est condamné à : un an de prison ferme et un an avec sursis et mise à l'épreuve ; une interdiction d'exercer toute fonction publique pendant cinq ans ; une amende de  ; rembourser  (dommages et intérêts).

En novembre 2021, une partie de son sursis et de sa liberté conditionnelle sont révoqués. Sur décision du parquet de Paris, il est incarcéré le 13 décembre 2021, pour une durée de 9 mois à la prison de la Santé. Cette décision fait suite au non-paiement de ses dettes à l'État après sa condamnation. Il est remis en liberté conditionnelle le .

Soupçons d'emploi fictif
Le , une autre information judiciaire contre X pour « détournements de fonds publics, complicité et recel » est ouverte par le parquet de Nanterre sur des soupçons d'emploi fictif concernant Philippe Pemezec, maire UMP de Le Plessis-Robinson, au cabinet de Christine Boutin, ministre du Logement de 2007 à 2008. Celle-ci affirme que ce "recrutement" était imposé par Claude Guéant. Le maire du Plessis-Robinson venait en effet de voir son élection à l'Assemblée nationale invalidée. Il se cherchait un point de chute et l'aurait trouvé avec l'aide de Claude Guéant, pour un salaire mensuel de plus de , quasi équivalent à l'indemnité parlementaire qu'il venait de perdre.

Confusion patrimoine personnel/mobilier national
Le , la presse révèle que Claude Guéant a conservé dans son patrimoine personnel une œuvre de peinture de James Houra qui avait été offerte à l'État lors d'une visite officielle en , par le président ivoirien Alassane Ouattara. Or, selon une circulaire de François Fillon : « les cadeaux offerts aux membres du gouvernement ou à leur conjoint, dans le cadre de l'exercice des fonctions gouvernementales, notamment à l'occasion des visites effectuées à l'étranger (…) sont, pour leurs auteurs, la manifestation de la volonté d'honorer la France. C'est donc à l'État qu'ils s'adressent, au-delà de la personne du récipiendaire (…). Il est par conséquent normal qu'ils n'entrent pas dans le patrimoine personnel du ministre ou de sa famille. » Claude Guéant n'aurait donc pas dû pouvoir conserver ce tableau en quittant ses fonctions, mais devait en théorie le remettre au service Mobilier national. Contacté par Le Monde, celui-ci indique n'avoir « jamais reçu de demande de versement sur cette œuvre », comme les services du ministère auraient dû le faire en principe.

Affaire Tapie-Crédit lyonnais
Le parquet de Paris a ouvert en  une information judiciaire pour « usage abusif de pouvoirs sociaux et recel de ce délit ». Dans le cadre de cette procédure, les trois juges d'instruction du pôle financier de Paris chargés de l'affaire, Serge Tournaire, Guillaume Daïeff et Claire Thépaut ont fait procéder à des perquisitions, notamment aux domiciles des trois juges arbitres, de Bernard Tapie, de Christine Lagarde et de son ex-directeur de cabinet, Stéphane Richard, ainsi qu'aux cabinets de M Lantourne, l'avocat de Bernard Tapie ; et enfin au domicile de Claude Guéant, secrétaire général de l'Élysée au moment de l'arbitrage.

Dans cette affaire, cinq personnes, dont Bernard Tapie, son avocat Maurice Lantourne, un des trois juges-arbitres, Pierre Estoup, et l'ancien directeur de cabinet de Christine Lagarde à Bercy, Stéphane Richard, ont été mis en examen pour escroquerie en bande organisée.

Le , Claude Guéant est placé en garde à vue dans le cadre de l'enquête sur son rôle dans l'affaire Tapie - Crédit lyonnais. Devant les enquêteurs, Stéphane Richard a expliqué que son « interlocuteur à l'Élysée sur ce dossier [avait] été M. Guéant », « apparu dès le départ très impliqué sur cette affaire ». Claude Guéant est appelé à détailler ses relations avec Bernard Tapie et expliquer les nombreuses visites de l'homme d'affaires à l'Élysée, en 2007 et 2008, dans une période cruciale pour l'arbitrage. Parmi elles, une réunion-clé, qu'il avait convoquée, à la fin de , en présence de Bernard Tapie.

Soupçon de trafic d'influence avec un oligarque turc en fuite
En , Paris Match révèle qu'il a été rémunéré par un sulfureux milliardaire turc en cavale, Cem Cengiz Uzan, condamné pour détournements de fonds en Turquie, en Grande-Bretagne et aux États-Unis, et qui aurait grâce à Claude Guéant trouvé refuge en France du temps où il était au pouvoir.

Affaire des comptes de campagne (législative 2012)
Pour avoir, en 2012,  sciemment minoré ses comptes de campagne alors qu'il était candidat à la députation dans les Hauts-de-Seine et ainsi obtenu un remboursement de plus de 30 000 euros, Claude Guéant est condamné par le tribunal de Nanterre, en première instance, le 22 novembre 2022, à dix-huit mois d'emprisonnement, dont douze assortis d'un sursis probatoire, ainsi qu'à une amende de 30 000 euros. La condamnation est assortie d'une interdiction d'exercer toute profession commerciale ou industrielle pendant une durée de cinq ans. Il doit enfin verser 30 529 euros au titre du remboursement indu de ses frais de campagne à l'agent judiciaire de l'État, constitué partie civile. Claude Guéant étant absent lors du rendu du délibéré, son avocat annonce faire appel de ce jugement.
