The multi-state settlement agreement resolves claims that Wells Fargo Bank violated state consumer protection laws by opening millions of unauthorized customer accounts, enrolling customers in online banking services without their consent, improperly referring customers for enrollment in third-party insurance policies, charging insurance fees and premiums without consent, and other fraudulent practices. Wells Fargo has identified more than 3.5 million affected customer accounts.
“Wells Fargo created incentive programs and unrealistic sales goals which provided the opportunity for fraudulent conduct by its employees. This settlement is the most significant action involving a national bank by state attorneys general acting without a federal law enforcement partner. My office will continue to work with attorneys general across the nation to ensure corporate compliance with state consumer fraud laws,” said Stenehjem.
In addition, Wells Fargo has previously agreed to consent orders with the federal Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, agreeing to provide restitution to customers in excess of $600 million through its agreements with those entities and through settlement of a related consumer class-action lawsuit.
As part of its settlement with the states, Wells Fargo must implement a program to provide financial relief for customers who have not previously received restitution. The states’ settlement agreement gives Wells Fargo until February 26, 2019, to create a dedicated website for affected customers to file a request for relief.

In world and national news..
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said Wednesday the partial government shutdown will last “as long as it takes” as closures entered a 12th day over his demands for billions of dollars from Congress to build a border wall with Mexico.
“Could be a long time or could be quickly,” Trump said during lengthy comments at a Cabinet meeting at the White House, his first public appearance of the new year.
The president said his Homeland Security officials will “make a plea” for the border wall during a briefing for congressional leaders later Wednesday at the White House.
But Trump also rejected his own administration’s offer to accept $2.5 billion for the wall. That offer was made when Vice President Mike Pence and other top officials met with Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer at the start of the shutdown. Instead, Trump repeatedly pushed for the $5.6 billion he has demanded.
Trump made his case ahead of the afternoon session with Democratic and Republican leaders about the migrants arriving at the border in recent days. He said the current border is “like a sieve” and noted the tear gas “flying” overnight to deter arrivals. He called the border “very tough” at keeping immigrants out.
MOSCOW (AP) — Search crews in Russia pulled more bodies Wednesday from a huge pile of rubble where part of an apartment building collapsed, bringing the known death toll to 28 and 13 residents unaccounted for as the grim recovery work entered a third night.
A 3-year-old girl was among the latest victims of the collapse in the Russian city of Magnitogorsk, Russian news agencies reported, citing the Russian emergencies ministry.
An 11-month-old boy who was found alive Tuesday nearly 36 hours after the collapse was in serious but stable condition at a children’s hospital in Moscow.
Health Minister Veronika Skvortsova said Wednesday that the boy, who was flown about 1,400 kilometers (870 miles) in a plane dispatched by the ministry suffered superficial head wounds but no apparent brain damage.
The prospects of finding more survivors appeared dim as the rescue effort continued from Monday’s pre-dawn accident, which came after an explosion that officials say was likely caused by a gas leak. Overnight temperatures of around 20 degrees Celsius (- 4 F).
However, a cat was pulled alive from the wreckage on Wednesday afternoon, about 60 hours after the disaster.
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Six passengers were killed when a Danish train crossed a bridge that had been closed to cars because of high wind Wednesday, and authorities investigated if falling cargo from a passing freight train caused Denmark’s deadliest railway accident in 30 years.
Authorities said the two trains were traveling in opposite directions on the bridge linking s Denmark’s islands. Aerial TV footage showed a front side of the passenger train ripped open. Photos showed crates of beer on the freight train and a tarpaulin on top torn in pieces.
Jesper Nielsen told Denmark’s TV2 he was riding on the passenger train and it “was out on the bridge when there was a huge ‘bang’ … very quickly thereafter, the train braked.”
The rail operator, Danish Railways, told Denmark’s TV2 the victims were passengers on a train going from the city of Odense, on the central Danish island of Funen, to the capital of Copenhagen when the accident took place about 8 a.m.
Police declined to comment directly on a report from Denmark’s TV2 channel that a large freight container had likely fallen off the cargo train.
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials are seeking answers about Moscow’s arrest of a Michigan man on spying charges, and now the Russian government says it’s allowed Paul Whelan to have access to U.S. consular representatives.
A spokeswoman for the Russian Foreign Minister is quoted by state news agency Tass and private agency Interfax as saying access was granted Wednesday.
She couldn’t immediately be reached for additional details by The Associated Press.
Whelan is head of global security for a Michigan-based auto parts supplier. He was arrested Friday.
In announcing the arrest three days later, the Russian Federal Security Service said Whelan was caught “during an espionage operation,” but gave no details.
LAUREL, Md. (AP) — A NASA spacecraft traveling 4 billion miles from Earth has sent back its first close-up pictures of the most distant celestial object ever explored, and it looks like a reddish snowman.
Ultima Thule, as the small, icy object has been dubbed, is an elongated body about 20 miles long, consisting of two fused-together spheres.
NASA’s New Horizons, the spacecraft that sent back pictures of Pluto 3½ years ago, swept past the ancient, mysterious object early on New Year’s Day. It is a billion miles past Pluto.
The pictures from Ultima Thule were revealed Wednesday.
Scientist Jeff Moore says that the two spheres formed when small, icy pieces coalesced in space billions of years ago. Then the spheres slowly spiraled closer to each other and stuck together.
Ultima Thule has a mottled appearance the color of light brick. Scientists say no impact craters could be seen in the latest photos.
An earlier, fuzzier image made it look like a bowling pin.
