Carter Page says Mueller is worse than Mussolini, Saddam, and Gadhafi – Washington Examiner
Carter Page says Mueller is worse than Mussolini, Saddam, and Gadhafi – Washington Examiner

Carter Page, the former Trump campaign adviser who was suspected by the FBI of being a Russian spy, has written a foreword to an e-book version of the Mueller report, calling it “propaganda” and comparing his time in front of the Mueller grand jury to being at Guantanamo Bay.

Written in hyperbolic terms, Page compares the 448-page report put together by special counsel Robert Mueller, and lightly redacted by Attorney General William Barr, to the propaganda pushed by some of modern history’s worst dictators. And he blasts what he sees as a politically motivated “witch hunt” targeting himself and President Trump.

Venting his frustrations, Page wrote: “In Italy, Mussolini had his autobiography. In Libya, Gadhafi widely distributed his Green Book both to the masses, in the national media and even with featured quotes on billboards throughout the country. Iraq’s tyrannical Saddam Hussein wrote a series of novellas.” Benito Mussolini, Moammar Gadhafi, Saddam Hussein — and, according to Page, Robert Mueller.

Page, 47, claims that, if anything, the Mueller report is even worse: “Most of the prior historical propaganda endeavors are modest when compared to DOJ’s two-volume work which was created by a handful of despots in Washington.”

Mueller’s report concluded that although the Russians interfered in the 2016 election through cyberattacks and social media disinformation campaigns, there was no criminal collusion between the Russians and the Trump campaign — or any other American. Nearly half of Mueller’s report, however, was dedicated to leaving the door open to claims of obstruction of justice.

Page wrote that investigators were working on behalf of the Democratic Party during the 2016 election, and that the Mueller report is the end result, calling it “a shameful conglomeration of propaganda meant to sow further discord in the minds of Americans against their fellow citizens.”

In Mueller’s report, grand jury testimony is largely redacted. In a podcast interview with the Washington Examiner’s Byron York, Page was asked about this largely secret aspect of Mueller’s investigation: “I was wondering if you could give us a little preview of what it was like in the grand jury during your time with Mueller?”

Page said, “Basically it’s like Guantanamo Bay detention camp in a lot of ways, right? But I actually would’ve enjoyed being in Gitmo more than what I went through with these people, you know, in terms of the intense interrogation and strong arm tactics there.”

Page echoed these comments in his book foreword: “In comparison, a government-funded vacation down at Gitmo in the Caribbean might have seemed almost luxurious and relaxing.”

In his report, Mueller wrote that “the investigation did not establish that Page coordinated with the Russian government in its efforts to interfere with the 2016 presidential election.” But Mueller draw attention to the fact that “Page advocated pro-Russia foreign policy positions and traveled to Moscow in his personal capacity” while associated with the Trump campaign.

It stated that “Russian intelligence officials had formed relationships with Page in 2008 and 2013 and Russian officials may have focused on Page in 2016 because of his affiliation with the campaign.”

Page contends that the investigation into him stems in its entirety from the “dodgy dossier,” in which he figured prominently. He claims that “sore losers tried to disrupt [Trump’s] presidential transition, then his presidency, by concocting an elaborate hoax based on a dossier funded by the DNC and fabricated by former Russian intelligence operatives.”

The so-called Trump dossier was written by Christopher Steele, a British ex-spy who was paid for his research by Fusion GPS, an opposition research firm that was funded in part by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee through the Perkins Coie law firm. The dossier was used extensively in applications presented before the FISA court to justify warrants against at least one Trump associate — Page.

Its explosive and unverified claims have increasingly come under greater scrutiny, as the Mueller report failed to present evidence for the dossier’s central allegations and as reports have emerged that FBI investigators knew that the dossier was problematic — and perhaps even based upon Russian disinformation — for well over a year.

In March 2018, DOJ’s Inspector General Michael Horowitz announced the launch of the FISA abuse investigation after requests from both then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Republican members in Congress. The lawmakers claimed the Justice Department and FBI had abused the FISA process and misled the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, or FISC, in their investigation and surveillance of Trump and his associates during the campaign, as well as during the Trump administration.

The inspector general stated it would “review information that was known to the DOJ and the FBI at the time the applications were filed from or about an alleged FBI confidential source. Additionally, the OIG will review the DOJ’s and FBI’s relationship and communications with the alleged source as they relate to the FISC applications.” This “alleged FBI confidential source” is Christopher Steele.

And the inspector general’s office also said it would “examine the Justice Department’s and the FBI’s compliance with legal requirements, and with applicable DOJ and FBI policies and procedures, in applications filed with the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court relating to a certain U.S. person.” That “certain U.S. person” is Carter Page.

Barr has said that the DOJ inspector general report could be finished as early as May.

Sri Lanka revises bombings death toll down by 100 – Aljazeera.com
Sri Lanka revises bombings death toll down by 100 – Aljazeera.com

Authorities in Sri Lanka have lowered the death toll in a spate of Easter bombings by more than 100, saying the difficulty in identifying body parts at blast scenes led to the earlier inaccurate number.

The new number of people killed was 253, down from an earlier total of 359, the health ministry said in a statement on Thursday.

“Many of the victims were badly mutilated … There was double counting,” it said, adding the lower toll was reached once all autopsies were completed and cross-referenced with DNA samples.

The suicide bomb attacks on three churches and four hotels have exposed an intelligence failure, with accusations that warnings had not been acted on and feuds at the top levels of government had undermined security cooperation.

Hemasiri Fernando, the defence secretary, resigned over the failure to prevent the attacks, saying he was stepping down to take responsibility for institutions he ran. But he said there had been no failure on his part.

Authorities have blamed two local Muslim groups, National Thowheed Jamaat and Jammiyathul Millathu Ibrahim. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL or ISIS) also claimed responsibility, though officials are still investigating the extent of any involvement. 


The government said there were nine suicide bombers, eight of whom had been identified. One was a woman. Officials said some of those involved in the coordinated blasts were well-educated and well-off financially.

More than 70 people, including several foreigners, have been arrested since Sunday, including the father of two of the alleged suicide bombers – one of Sri Lanka’s wealthiest spice traders.

Earlier on Thursday, police for the first time identified seven people they were looking for and appealed to the public for help in finding them.

Photographs, apparently casual snapshots, posted with a wanted notice showed young bearded men and three young women wearing headscarves.

Bomb scares

Tensions remained high, with the capital on alert because of bomb scares.

The central bank was briefly locked down and the road to the capital’s airport was shut for part of the day.

Office workers in Colombo’s business district were asked to go home early, police said, to avoid vulnerable throngs of people at rush hour. City-centre restaurants also shut early.

Religious leaders, meanwhile, cancelled public prayer gatherings amid warnings of more such attacks, along with retaliatory sectarian violence.

MHA Haleem, Sri Lanka’s Islamic affairs minister, appealed to Muslims to avoid gathering for Friday prayers and instead urged them to pray at home.

The All Ceylon Jamiyyathul Ulama, an association of Islamic scholars, urged women not to “hinder the security forces in their efforts” by wearing face veils.

Niroshan Perera, a priest overseeing funerals of some of the dozens of people killed in the blast at St Sebastian’s church in Negombo, just outside Colombo, said Catholic churches in the city all closed and cancelled Mass on the government’s advice.

Perera said an official had warned him that police were still searching Negombo for two armed suspects.

“Little bit, we are nervous,” he said.

In an unusually specific warning, the US embassy in Sri Lanka said places of worship could be hit this weekend. “Sri Lankan authorities are reporting that additional attacks may occur targeting places of worship,” the US embassy warned on Twitter. “Avoid these areas over the weekend, starting tomorrow.”

The UK advised its citizens against traveling to the island country.


The bombings shattered the relative calm that has existed in Buddhist-majority Sri Lanka since a civil war against mostly Hindu ethnic Tamil separatists ended 10 years ago.

Sri Lanka’s 22 million people include minority Christians, Muslims and Hindus. Until now, Christians had largely managed to avoid the worst of the island’s conflict and communal tensions.

Amid fears of a surge of communal tension, some Muslims have fled the Negombo region.

Hundreds of Pakistani Muslims have left the port city, crammed into buses, after threats of revenge.

“The local Sri Lankan people have attacked our houses,” one of them, Adnan Ali, told Reuters News Agency on Wednesday, as he prepared to board a bus.

Chris Carlson/AP

The Trump administration is postponing controversial plans to greatly expand oil and gas drilling off of the nation’s coasts, following a recent setback in court and months of pushback from coastal communities.

Last month, a federal judge in Alaska ruled that President Trump exceeded his authority when he signed an executive order to lift an Obama-era ban on oil and gas drilling in parts of the Arctic and Atlantic oceans.

The decision immediately reinstated those protections, and was a major blow to the administration’s efforts to boost oil and gas development across the country.

While the Trump administration is expected to appeal the decision, a resolution could be a long ways off. That makes it uncertain where new oil leases may eventually be allowed.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, published Thursday, newly confirmed Interior Secretary David Bernhardt said that his agency may wait for the court process to play out before moving forward with plans to open up more than 90 percent of all federal waters to offshore oil and gas leasing.

“By the time the court rules, that may be discombobulating to our plan,” Bernhardt told the newspaper.

Last year, the Trump administration said it would move to allow offshore oil and gas leasing in nearly all of the nation’s coastal waters. The proposal was met with instant criticism from environmental groups and governors’ offices along the East and West coasts.

Even some Republican lawmakers joined in the backlash.

All had been waiting months for a new version of the plan, which had been expected anytime. But during his confirmation hearing last month, Bernhardt told lawmakers that the plan was still in its beginning stages.

His interview with the Wall Street Journal was his first since being confirmed as the nation’s top land steward, and appeared to put the proposal on indefinite hold.

“Given the recent court decision, the Department is simply evaluating all of its options to determine the best pathway to accomplish the mission entrusted to it by the President,” Interior spokeswoman Molly Block confirmed in an email.

The plan’s critics are celebrating the delay.

“This decision is the result of constant pressure from coastal communities, environmental groups, and elected official who made it abundantly clear that offshore oil and gas drilling is dangerous, unwanted, and a threat to our economy and way of life,” said Virginia Democratic Congressman Joe Cunningham in a statement.

Jacqueline Savitz, chief policy officer at Oceana, says that she is encouraged by the move, “but until the Trump plan is final, the President is positioned to open up our coasts at a moment’s notice.”

Updated at 5:30 p.m. ET

A secretive group of scientists who advise the U.S. government on everything from spy satellites to nuclear weapons is scrambling to find a sponsor after the Defense Department abruptly ended its contract late last month.

The group, known as the Jasons, will run out of money at the end of April. The Pentagon says that the group’s advice is no longer needed, but independent experts say it has never been more relevant and worry the department is throwing away a valuable resource.

Russell Hemley, the head of the Jasons, says that other government agencies still want advice and that the Jasons are determined to give it.

Late Thursday, it appeared that another government agency might be willing to take on the group. The Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration posted a solicitation saying it intends to take over the contract for the group. That could happen in a matter of months, and it is unclear how the Mitre Corp., which manages the Jasons, would fund the group in the interim.

The Jasons group comprises about 60 members. By day, they’re normal academics, working at colleges and universities and in private industry. But each summer, they come together to study tough problems for the military, intelligence agencies and other parts of the government.

The group’s name, like the group itself, is shrouded in mystery, though it’s believed to be a reference to Jason, the Greek mythological prince who leads the Argonauts in looking for the Golden Fleece.

“The idea that they’re going to cut back on the kind of advice that the Jasons provide is not good for the Department of Defense,” says Steven Aftergood of the Federation of American Scientists, an independent watchdog group. “It’s not good for the nation.”

“We’re very independent, we have this diversity of talent and we often come up with very different, very original perspectives and solutions to problems,” says Hemley, a physicist and chemist at the University of Illinois at Chicago. Hemley is one of the few members who publicly identify themselves as part of the group. He says the Jasons are unlike anything else out there — academics at the top of their individual fields, with security clearances that let them work on any problem.

The group’s origins go back to the early days of the Cold War.

“They just formed themselves, back in 1960,” says Ann Finkbeiner, who wrote The Jasons: The Secret History of Science’s Postwar Elite. It began when a group of physicists won funding from the Pentagon to spend the summer learning about the problems facing the Defense Department in its fight against the Soviet Union. These stubborn researchers were determined to advise the government. They went on to study everything from anti-submarine warfare to missile defense.

Russell Hemley is the chair of the Jasons. He says several government agencies remain interested in contracting with the group.

“Probably their most famous study was about trying to stop the infiltration from North Vietnam into the South,” Finkbeiner says.

The problem was that North Vietnamese troops and supplies were hard to find beneath the dense jungle canopy. The Jasons’ solution was to develop a system of remote sensors that could be airdropped into the jungle and provide intelligence on the enemy. The program, like much to do with Vietnam, was controversial and didn’t work perfectly. But it laid the groundwork for modern electronic warfare, in which sensors provide troops with detailed battlefield information, Finkbeiner says.

In recent years, Hemley says, the Jasons have broadened the areas they study. They’ve tried to help the Department of Agriculture develop better ways to use data to understand crop production, for example. And they advised the Census Bureau on how to streamline its operations.

So it came as a surprise to Hemley and others when, in late March, the Pentagon abruptly announced it was ending its primary contract with the Jasons. The contract, run through the Mitre Corp., is the vehicle that allows the Jasons to do work with other parts of the government as well. Without it, the group has no way of getting the several million dollars in funding it needs to operate annually.

“The department remains committed to seeking independent technical advice and review,” Pentagon spokesperson Heather Babb said. But Aftergood sees another reason for the end of the relationship. He says that the Jasons are a blunt bunch. If they think an idea is dumb or won’t work, they aren’t afraid to say so.

“They were offering the opposite of cheerleading,” he says. “And DOD decided that maybe they didn’t want to pay for that any longer.”

Aftergood says it’s a real mistake to cut ties with the Jasons now. The Pentagon is embarking on ambitious research into artificial intelligence, quantum computing and advanced hypersonic missiles. The Jasons have expertise on these topics and will likely be useful.

For now, Hemley says, the group is eager to continue its research and is “working closely with our sponsors to make sure that happens.”

The National Nuclear Security Administration, which oversees the nation’s nuclear weapons, would be a natural fit for the group. Over the years, it has solicited numerous studies from the Jasons on the nuclear stockpile.

At a congressional hearing this month, NNSA Administrator Lisa Gordon-Hagerty voiced her support for the Jasons: “I can tell you that they are rich in history,” she said, “and their technical expertise is sound.”

NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo plans to open his formidable fundraising network to Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign – CNBC
NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo plans to open his formidable fundraising network to Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign – CNBC

Politics

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who has raised millions of dollars during his campaigns over the years, has indicated to associates in recent days that he will be opening his vast and powerful fundraising network exclusively to Joe Biden, according to people with direct knowledge of the matter.

Biden officially launched his campaign Thursday, after months of speculation.

“Andrew is all in for Joe. He is pushing his entire network that way – political and funding,” said a person who has spoken to Cuomo recently. This person declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the conversations.

A top party donor who has spoken to Cuomo advisors told CNBC: “Biden is going to have a formidable fundraising operation through, in part, Cuomo.”

Cuomo’s support could be a game-changer for Biden. While the former vice president has consistently led Democratic primary polls, he has been aggressively courting donors in a bid to catch up to an already crowded primary field that has a head start in the fundraising game. New York State Board of Elections data show Cuomo has raked in $100 million in campaign contributions since he first ran for governor in 2010. At least 80 percent of his backers have given him $10,000 or more, records show.

Cuomo’s wealthy donor network spans the country and the business world. Past donors include movie mogul Steven Spielberg, Walmart heiress Alice Walton, and hedge fund titan Steve Cohen. Cuomo also has received support from companies such as Cablevision, real estate giant the Dust Organization and Canadian real estate firm Brookfield Asset Management.

A Cuomo representative and Biden’s campaign both declined to comment.

“I think he [Biden] has the best chance of defeating President Trump, which I think is the main goal here,” Cuomo said earlier this week.

Former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell is also helping Biden and was slated to host a fundraising event for the former vice president Thursday in Philadelphia.

Biden’s rivals in the Democratic primary already have a quarter of fundraising in the books. Sen. Bernie Sanders led the way with $18 million.

Some are amassing the support of party bundlers. Mayor Pete Buttigieg has amassed at least two dozen Democratic fundraisers for his 2020 campaign, with many of his bundlers formerly being supporters of former President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, CNBC first reported. Sen. Kamala Harris reportedly has over 100 bundlers backing her campaign for president.

The Democratic field have a lot of ground to make up compared to Trump, however. The president’s campaign hauled in $30 million during the first quarter.

Trump welcomed Biden to the race Thursday with a snarky tweet that insulted the former vice president’s intelligence and mocked him as “Sleepy Joe.”

    5-year-old boy allegedly killed by parents was hit, forced to stay in cold shower – ABC News
    5-year-old boy allegedly killed by parents was hit, forced to stay in cold shower – ABC News

    The parents charged in the murder of their 5-year-old son, Andrew “AJ” Freund, allegedly forced the little boy to stay in a cold shower “for an extended period of time” and may have “struck” him, according to court documents.

    AJ’s parents, Andrew “Drew” Freund Sr. and JoAnn Cunningham, have been charged with his murder, police said.

    AJ, of Crystal Lake, Illinois, was reported missing on April 18, prompting a massive, week-long search. The deadly assault occurred on or about April 15, according to court documents.

    AJ’s parents ultimately provided information that led investigators to a body believed to be that of the little boy, Crystal Lake Police Chief Jim Black said at a news conference on Wednesday.

    AJ’s body was found on Wednesday in a shallow grave, wrapped in plastic, in a rural area near Woodstock, Illinois, Black said.

    His cause of death is unclear.

    Cunningham, 35, was charged with five counts of first-degree murder; four counts of aggravated battery; two counts of aggravated domestic battery; and one count of failure to report a missing or child death.

    Freund, 60, was charged with five counts of first-degree murder; two counts of aggravated battery; one count of aggravated domestic battery; two counts of concealment of homicidal death; and one count of failure to report a missing or child death.

    Both are due to be arraigned on Monday.

    During the search for AJ, his younger brother was placed in a different home under a Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) safety plan, a DCFS spokesman told ABC News earlier this week.

    DCFS has been in contact with AJ’s family since AJ was born with opiates in his system in October 2013, DCFS officials said.

    In November 2013, AJ was taken into protective custody and placed in foster care, DCFS officials said. AJ was returned to his home in June 2015, according to the agency.

    In March 2018, DCFS officials investigated allegations of neglect by AJ’s parents; the allegations were unfounded, according to DCFS.

    The last contact between DCFS and the family was in December 2018, after Cunningham called the cops to report that AJ’s father stole her cellphone and medication. Responding officers found a bruise on one of the children, but were “unable to make a determination of abuse,” and released the kids back to the parents, according to police reports. Child protection staffers investigated the allegations of abuse and neglect, but the allegations were unfounded, a DCFS spokesman said.

    The news of AJ’s death is “heartbreaking,” Marc Smith, acting director of Illinois DCFS, said in a statement Wednesday.

    “Our priority is the care and safety of Andrew’s younger sibling,” Smith said. “The Department is committed to conducting a comprehensive review of the entirety of our work with Andrew’s family to understand our shortcomings and to be fully transparent with the public on any steps we are taking to address the issues.”

    ISIS militants are still masters of guerilla warfare, counter-terror expert warns after Sri Lanka massacre

    Former Israeli Special Forces soldier Aaron Cohen reacts to ISIS claiming responsibility for the Easter Sunday attacks in Sri Lanka.

    Sisters of two of the alleged Sri Lanka suicide bombers revealed Thursday that their siblings – who have been described by officials as “well-educated people” — became increasingly distant and “totally crazy” in the years leading up to the coordinated Easter Sunday massacre.

    Their comments come as reports emerged that one of the bombers was let go by police after being arrested earlier at some point.

    “He told male relatives off for trimming their beards and became angry and totally crazy,” Samsul Hidaya, who identified herself as the sister of suspected bomber Abdul Lathief Jameel Mohamed, told the Daily Mail. “So I just stopped speaking to him because it got to the point where it was getting out of hand.”

    In an interview published Thursday, Hidaya confirmed reports that her brother – who was in his late 20s — studied abroad in the U.K. and Australia before returning to Sri Lanka. But she says after coming home from Down Under, he was “a different man”.

    BUSINESSES IN SRI LANKA CAPITAL ADVISE STAFF TO STAY INDOORS OVER SECURITY THREATS

    This undated image posted by the Islamic State group’s Aamaq news agency on Tuesday purports to show Mohammed Zahran, a.k.a. Zahran Hashmi, center, the man Sri Lanka says led the Easter attack that killed more than 350 people, as well as other attackers.

    “I had many arguments with him,” she said. “At first he started quoting scripture and I would say ‘OK, you’re right.’”

    “But then the conversation got deeper and deeper into religion and I couldn’t follow what he was saying any longer,” she added.

    Mohammad Hashim Madaniya, who identified herself as the sister of radical Islamic cleric Zahran Hashim (alternately known as Mohammed Zahran) – told the BBC a similar story.

    Her brother has been mentioned in media reports as being one of the suicide bombers and possibly the mastermind of the attacks. Hashim also purportedly has appeared in ISIS-affiliated propaganda claiming responsibility for the bombings, which have left 253 dead and hundreds wounded. Sri Lanka lowered the death toll from 359 to 253 on Thursday, citing confusion at chaotic bombing scenes, according to the Associated Press.

    But before Hashim’s descent into radicalism — as evident by the hate-filled online sermons he posted on YouTube – he broke off contact with his sister

    “We had a very good relationship during our childhood. He was very friendly with everyone in the neighborhood,” Madaniya told the BBC. “But for the last two years, he has not been in contact with us.”

    Madaniya says she learned about her brother’s alleged involvement in the bombings through the media.

    “I never thought, even for a moment, that he would do such a thing,” she said. “I strongly deplore what he has done. Even if he is my brother, I cannot accept this. I don’t care about him anymore.”

    CLERIC ‘MASTERMIND’ BEHIND SRI LANKA ATTACKS KNOWN FOR FIERY VIDEOS

    Madaniya says Hashim went off the grid after Sri Lankan police tried to arrest him years ago for allegedly stoking violence between Muslim groups. She also claimed her elderly parents left their home in Sri Lanka days before the bombings and have not been heard from since.

    “It makes me think that my brother could have kept in touch with them,” she said.

    Over the past three years, radical Islamic cleric Zahran Hashim, alternately known as Mohammed Zahran, amassed an online following of thousands for hate-filled online sermons – sometimes delivered before a banner depicting the enkindled Twin Towers – and composed of impassioned calls for “all non-Muslims be eliminated.”

    Police reportedly though have tracked down the father of two sons suspected of blowing themselves up in the attacks.

    Mohamed Yusuf Ibrahim, a wealthy spice trader in Colombo – the city where many of the bombings happened – is in custody over suspicions that he helped his sons, according to CNN.

    A government spokesperson also told the network that one of the sons, Ilham Ahmed Ibrahim, had been arrested before and then released. He is suspected of targeting a hotel.

    “It was the suicide bomber of the Cinnamon Grand bomb attack who was released earlier,” Sudarshana Gunawardana said, without elaborating.

    As of Thursday, 58 people have been arrested and police are still setting off controlled detonations of suspicious items as they continue to investigate the attacks.

    A Massachusetts judge and court officer accused of helping an illegal immigrant flee an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent waiting to take him into custody were indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury for obstruction of justice and three other counts, officials said.

    Newton District Court Judge Shelley M. Richmond Joseph and the court officer, identified in court documents as Wesley MacGregor, face several charges stemming from an April 2, 2018 incident in which the pair allegedly helped Jose Medina-Perez get out of the courthouse via a back door in order to elude the ICE agent who sought Medina-Perez.

    “This case is about the rule of law. The allegations in today’s indictment involve obstruction by a sitting judge, that is intentional interference with the enforcement of federal law, and that is a crime,” U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts Andrew Lelling said Thursday.

    Andrew Lelling, U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts, announced charges against Newton, Mass., District Court Judge Shelley M. Richmond Joseph and a former court officer on obstruction of justice for allegedly helping a man in the country illegally evade immigration officials as he left the courthouse after a hearing.

    Joseph and MacGregor were both charged with obstruction of justice, aiding and abetting; obstruction of a federal proceeding, aiding and abetting and conspiracy to obstruct justice, Lelling said. MacGregor was also charged with perjury before a federal grand jury.

    “As public servants, all of the officers in the court make a promise — a promise to serve the people’s interest above all else. Today we know this promise has been broken,” said Peter Fitzhugh, special agent in charge of the Homeland Security Investigations in Boston, who led the investigation.

    Medina-Perez, a twice-deported illegal immigrant with a fugitive warrant for drunken driving in Pennsylvania, had been in Joseph’s courtroom in order to be arraigned on drug charges, the Boston Globe previously reported.

    Medina-Perez was the subject of an ICE detainer — a written request to hold an individual wanted for deportation for up to 48 hours — and an ICE agent was waiting in the lobby of the courthouse to detain Medina-Perez after the arraignment, officials said. But during the hearing, Joseph asked Medina-Perez’s attorney “ICE is going to get him?,” according to courtroom recordings obtained by the Boston Globe in December and released in court documents Thursday.

    Medina-Perez’s lawyer was also heard telling Joseph “ICE will pick him up if he walks out the front door. But I think the best thing for us to do is clear the fugitive issue and release him on a personal, and hope that he can avoid ICE…That’s the best I can do.”

    “What if we detain him?” the judge asked before requesting the clerk to turn off the courtroom’s audio recorder, leaving nearly a minute unrecorded.

    Minutes later, Medina-Perez’s attorney said his client “has some property downstairs” and needed to speak to an interpreter, which Joseph allowed.

    MacGregor then used his security access card to escort Medina-Perez out of the courthouse without being seen by the ICE agent, officials said.

    “With the recorder off, defendant Joseph and the Defense Attorney discussed devising a way to have A.S. [Medina-Perez] avoid being arrested by the ICE officer,” court documents stated.

    The ICE agent continued to wait in the lobby not knowing the illegal immigrant already left the building, Lelling said, adding Joseph lied about the incident to her superiors when asked about it.

    “The people of this country deserve nothing less than to know that their appointed and elected representatives are working on their behalf, while adhering to and enforcing the rule of law, not a personal agenda,” Fitzhugh said. “The special agents of Homeland Security Investigations remain committed to upholding our promise to the public, without compromise.”

    MAN WHO SENT POWDER-FILLED LETTERS TO TRUMP SONS GETS PROBATION

    Joseph was appointed Newton District judge by Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker in 2017 after several years serving as a criminal defense attorney and a prosecutor, the Boston Globe reported.

    After reports of Joseph’s alleged intervention emerged in December, Baker told reporters he believed Joseph should be benched while the incident was investigated.

    “I don’t believe she should be hearing criminal cases until that federal case is resolved,” Baker said about Joseph. “Look, judges are not supposed to be in the business of obstructing justice. And as far as I can tell, based on the facts as they were presented, she clearly violated the court’s own policies with respect to the way they’re supposed to handle continuance and involve federal immigration enforcement.”

    Medina-Perez’s freedom was short-lived. He was arrested a month later after the court hearing and again let go, this time by an immigration judge who freed him on bond, the Boston Globe reported. That case is currently pending, officials said. The 38-year-old native of the Dominican Republic had been previously deported in January 2003 and June 2007, ICE said. His real name is Oscar Manuel Peguero, although he goes by several aliases.

    While special counsel Robert Mueller’s final report about his investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election stops short of accusing President Donald Trump of crimes, the president is obviously not happy with the picture it paints of him as someone who repeatedly tried to obstruct an investigation of his campaign, only to be thwarted by his own aides refusing to carry out legally dubious orders.

    So on Thursday morning, Trump tried to refute on Twitter one of the report’s most damaging revelations — that he tried to get then-White House counsel Don McGahn to order Mueller’s firing via Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein just a month after Mueller was appointed. (McGahn refused.) But in the process, Trump gave House Democrats yet another reason to bring McGahn in for a congressional hearing.

    Over the course of two tweets, Trump pushed back on McGahn’s testimony to Mueller that Trump asked him to get the Department of Justice to fire Mueller, and worked in a gratuitous shot at the media in the process.

    “As has been incorrectly reported by the Fake News Media, I never told then White House Counsel Don McGahn to fire Robert Mueller, even though I had the legal right to do so,” Trump wrote. “If I wanted to fire Mueller, I didn’t need McGahn to do it, I could have done it myself. Nevertheless, […] Mueller was NOT fired and was respectfully allowed to finish his work on what I, and many others, say was an illegal investigation (there was no crime), headed by a Trump hater who was highly conflicted, and a group of 18 VERY ANGRY Democrats. DRAIN THE SWAMP!”

    Trump’s claim that “the Fake News Media” has “incorrectly reported” what the Mueller report says about his dealings with McGahn is false — Mueller’s report actually confirms a report from the New York Times about this. Trump is in fact disputing the conclusions of a government document based on an interview with a lawyer who worked for him.

    What the Mueller report says about McGahn

    McGahn is one of the Mueller report’s central figures. He’s cited more than any other witness in the document, and his testimony provides some of the starkest examples of how Trump repeatedly tried to impede investigations of his campaign.

    McGahn told Mueller that in June 2017 — one month after Mueller’s appointment — the president reacted to reports that Mueller was investigating him for obstruction of justice by calling him at home and “direct[ing] him to call the Acting Attorney General and say that the Special Counsel had conflict of interest and must be removed. McGahn did not carry out the direction, however, deciding that he would resign rather than trigger what he regarded as a potential Saturday Night Massacre.”

    In January 2018, the New York Times reported that Trump ordered McGahn to have the Justice Department fire Mueller the previous June. According to what McGahn told Mueller, Trump reacted to the report by asking McGahn to fabricate evidence that could be used to refute it.

    “The President then directed [then-White House official Rob] Porter to tell McGahn to create a record to make clear that the President never directed McGahn to fire the Special Counsel,” the report says. “McGahn shrugged off the request, explaining that the media reports were true.”

    During a subsequent White House meeting with McGahn, Trump disputed the Times’ reporting on semantic grounds. From the Mueller report:

    The President asked McGahn, “Did I say the word ‘fire’?” McGahn responded, “What you said is, ‘Call Rod [Rosenstein], tell Rod that Mueller has conflicts and can’t be the Special Counsel.’ The President responded, “I never said that.” The President said he merely wanted to McGahn to raise the conflicts issue with Rosenstein and leave it to him to decide what to do. McGahn told the President he did not understand the conversation that way and instead had heard, “Call Rod. There are conflicts. Mueller has to go.” The President asked McGahn whether he would “do a correction,” and McGahn said no. McGahn thought the President was testing his mettle to see how committed McGahn was to what happened. [Then-White House chief of staff John] Kelly described the meeting as “a little tense.”

    So it’s basically Trump’s word versus McGahn’s. But another part of McGahn’s testimony about his meeting with Trump speaks to why McGahn has more credibility, Trump’s propensity for lying aside:

    The President also asked McGahn in the meeting why he had told Special Counsel’s Office investigators that the President had told him to have the Special Counsel removed. McGahn responded that he had to and that his conversations with the President were not protected by attorney-client privilege. The President then asked, “What about these notes? Why do you take notes? Lawyers don’t take notes. I never had a lawyer who took notes.” McGahn responded that he keeps notes because he is a “real lawyer” and explained that notes create a record and are not a bad thing. The President said, “I’ve had a lot of great lawyers, like Roy Cohn. He did not take notes.”

    Much as he did during his January 2018 meeting with McGahn, Trump could defend the tweets he posted on Thursday on semantic grounds. After all, McGahn testified that Trump asked him to order the Justice Department to fire Mueller, not that Trump asked him directly “to fire Robert Mueller,” as Trump wrote. In short, read carefully, Trump’s tweets aren’t necessarily inconsistent with the Mueller report, even if the impression they create is at odds with what McGahn told Mueller.

    Democrats are trying to get to the bottom of it. The White House is trying to prevent them from doing so.

    Trump’s tweets about McGahn give House Democrats yet another reason to bring the former White House counsel in for a hearing in hopes of getting to the bottom of the president’s attempts to obstruct the Mueller investigation. The House Judiciary Committee has already subpoenaed McGahn to testify next month and turn over documents.

    There’s just one problem — as my colleague Dylan Scott detailed on Wednesday, the White House has signaled it will fight subpoenas issued by House Democrats that try to compel former aides like McGahn to testify. Trump himself told reporters on Thursday that “we’re fighting all the subpoenas.”

    The extent of the Trump administration’s uncooperativeness with subpoenas is unprecedented, and it’s unclear how the battle will play out in court. But what is clear is that Trump is concerned with how McGahn portrayed him, and is trying to push back.

    On Monday, the New York Times’s Michael Schmidt reported that Trump believes his political future actually depends on discrediting the account of his conduct McGahn gave to Mueller.

    “Trump has privately complained about the accounts, particularly the ones given by Mr. McGahn, and has said the only way to protect himself from impeachment is to attack Mr. Mueller and Mr. McGahn,” according to the Times.

    Buttigieg added that at the time “people were refreshed by the novelty of that boldness” of Sanders’s ideas, but that they are now less exciting.

    Joe Biden 2020: Former vice president Joe Biden says he’s running for president in video announcing bid released today – live updates – CBS News
    Joe Biden 2020: Former vice president Joe Biden says he’s running for president in video announcing bid released today – live updates – CBS News

    Ending months of speculation, former Vice President Joe Biden announced Thursday he is launching his third presidential campaign.  Instantly joining the race as an early frontrunner, the former vice president and more than a dozen major Democratic candidates seek to deny President Trump a second term.

    “We are in the battle for the soul of this nation,” he said in the nearly four-minute long video. “If we give Donald Trump eight years in the White House he will forever and fundamentally alter the character of this nation. And I cannot stand by and watch that happen.”

    Unlike most of his competitors who only mentioned President Trump in passing when they announced their candidacies, Biden used his video to cast the race as a battle with Mr. Trump for the very soul and character of the country, calling him out by name.

    The video opens in Charlottesville, Virginia, the scene of violent clashes between white nationalists and protesters which opens in Charlottesville, Virginia, where in 2017 there were violent clashes between white nationalists and protesters that resulted in the death of one woman. Mr. Trump, at the time, faced a backlash for saying that blame for the violence fell “on many sides.”

    Biden announced his bid in a video released on social media. He is expected to hold a fundraiser Thursday evening in Philadelphia and hold his first formal campaign event in Pittsburgh on Monday. In his appeal to voters, Biden recounted the president’s response to the violent white supremacist protests in Charlottesville, Virginia two years ago.

    Biden said he’s running for president because everything about American democracy is “at stake” under a Trump presidency. “We have to remember who we are, this is America,” he added in a final appeal to supporters. 

    Already differentiating himself from the other 17 candidates running, Biden also immediately released Spanish-language advertising to target Latino supporters. None of the other candidates have done this from the start. 

    For about a year, many Democratic operatives, donors and voters have been encouraging Biden, who served as vice president for eight years under President Obama, to enter the crowded race, capture the nomination and thwart Mr. Trump’s reelection bid in 2020. Despite not having formally announced his bid until Thursday, Biden has been leading several polls among primary voters, with only Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders coming close to matching the former vice president’s support.

    People familiar with the campaign’s plans said Biden plans to place a particular emphasis on South Carolina, an early primary state where he enjoys strong support from longtime Democratic leaders and the state’s large African American community.

    The 76-year-old former Delaware lawmaker, a totem of the Democratic Party’s establishment, is likely to quickly attract substantial financial support from the party’s more moderate wing, as well as the backing of many top Democrats across the country and in Washington, where he worked for decades.

    Unlike many of the other Democratic candidates in the race, Biden is already a household name across the country, and his allies argue he has the best chance to woo working-class voters in states like Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania who propelled Mr. Trump to victory during the 2016 presidential election.  

    The former vice president, however, will also face scrutiny from progressives for some of the positions he held during his long tenure in Congress, where he represented Delaware in the Senate for more than 35 years. He has also come under scrutiny in recent weeks by several women who said that he touched them inappropriately at events over the years. 

    In the 1970s, Biden opposed busing to desegregate public schools. As chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, he oversaw the contentious Anita Hill hearings during the confirmation process for then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas in 1991. He also helped spearhead efforts to pass the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, which many believe fueled a period of mass incarceration that disproportionately affected African Americans and other minority groups. 

    Biden has since embraced more progressive policy stances. He staged two campaigns for the Democratic nomination in 1988 and 2008, dropping out during the primary contests in both. 

    The former vice president joins the largest — and the most diverse — Democratic primary field in U.S. history. To date, 20 other Democrats have declared their candidacy for president, including Sens. Sanders, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker and Elizabeth Warren; Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke; and South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg.

    FBI, IRS agents search Baltimore Mayor’s homes, City Hall – AOL
    FBI, IRS agents search Baltimore Mayor’s homes, City Hall – AOL

    BALTIMORE (AP) — Federal agents executed search warrants Thursday morning at two homes belonging to Baltimore’s embattled mayor and at City Hall.

    Dave Fitz, an FBI spokesman out of the agency’s Baltimore office, says agents with the FBI and the IRS criminal division in Washington were “executing court-authorized search warrants” at “both residences and City Hall.” He said he couldn’t immediately release more information because the search warrants are sealed.

    Mayor Catherine Pugh’s spokesman, James Bentley, said he has no immediate comment. Pugh’s defense attorney, Steve Silverman, did not immediately return calls.

    (Original Caption) When John Kerr, of 147 W. 84th Street, and Peter Macon, 490 Columbus Avenue, were being booked on a mugging charge at the West 68th St. Precinct today, photographer Phil Grietzer, New York Daily News photographer, drew a bead on the proceedings with his camera. He didn’t know the boys had a camera allergy. But he found out when the two, although handcuffed together, came charging at him. Another photographer who doesn’t suffer from buck fever, got this picture.




    Pugh has been facing mounting calls for her to resign over a scandal that involves the sale of her children’s books to entities that do business with the city. She was already facing a criminal investigation by the state prosecutor’s office, which began at the request of Republican Gov. Larry Hogan, as well as probes by the Baltimore Inspector General, an ethics board at City Hall and a state insurance commission.

    It’s been more than three weeks since Pugh slipped out of sight, citing deteriorating health from a pneumonia bout. Five of her staffers have since joined her on paid leave.

    Pugh said she was going on leave on the same day Hogan asked for the investigation of lucrative sales of her “Healthy Holly” books to customers, including a major hospital network she once helped oversee as a state lawmaker and a health plan that does business with the city.

    The sales earned about $800,000 for her limited liability company.

    Since then, the first-term mayor has been asked to resign by the entire lineup of the current City Council, all Baltimore lawmakers in Maryland’s House of Delegates, the influential Greater Baltimore Committee business group and others. Maryland’s chief accountant called Pugh’s “self-dealing” arrangements to sell her books as “brazen, cartoonish corruption.”

    But only a conviction can trigger a Baltimore mayor’s removal from office, according to City Solicitor Andre Davis and the state constitution. Baltimore’s mayor-friendly City Charter currently provides no options for ousting its executive.

    “The charter is utterly silent on how long the leave can last, exactly what the reasons are for a leave,” Davis told reporters.

    Members of Pugh’s communications staff have said repeatedly that she intends to return to City Hall when she is feeling better, but have declined to provide any timetable.

    As multiple investigations into the mayor’s books ramp up, political analysts say Pugh’s biggest bargaining chip at the negotiating table is her refusal to resign in a city accustomed to a high-drama, insular political culture.

    Pugh came to office in late 2016 after edging out ex-Mayor Sheila Dixon, who spent much of her tenure fighting corruption charges before being forced to depart office in 2010 as part of a plea deal connected to the misappropriation of about $500 in gift cards meant for needy families.

    While the accusations have certainly cast a shadow over Pugh, she has not been indicted for any crime, and it is unclear how long a criminal investigation will take. Earlier this month, Silverman said the mayor looks forward to cooperating with the state prosecutor’s probe and will provide “as much information as possible to put this matter to rest.”

    Pugh would certainly face a bruising 2020 Democratic primary if she were to return and run for reelection. Many political observers believe she’ll never again be able to wield power effectively due to the scandal.

    A veteran City Council leader, Bernard “Jack” Young, is serving as acting mayor. Young said he would merely be a placeholder when she went on leave, and at a Wednesday news conference, he stressed that the decision is up to her. But given the groundswell of opinion against her, he said “it could be devastating for her” if she tried to return.

    Trump disputes finding that he directed McGahn to seek Mueller’s ouster – The Washington Post
    Trump disputes finding that he directed McGahn to seek Mueller’s ouster – The Washington Post

    John Wagner

    April 25 at 10:59 AM

    President Trump disputed Thursday that he had told then-White House counsel Donald McGahn to seek the firing of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III in the midst of his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

    The episode, detailed in the report by Mueller that was publicly released last week, is among those being scrutinized by Democrats as they continue to investigate whether Trump sought to obstruct Mueller’s probe. In a morning tweet, Trump sought to blame the media for misreporting what happened.

    “I never told then White House Counsel Don McGahn to fire Robert Mueller, even though I had the legal right to do so,” Trump wrote. “If I wanted to fire Mueller, I didn’t need McGahn to do it, I could have done it myself. Nevertheless, Mueller was NOT fired and was respectfully allowed to finish his work on what I, and many others, say was an illegal investigation.”

    McGahn emerged as a key witness in Mueller’s 448-page report, detailing several occasions when Trump ordered him to “do crazy shit,” according to the special counsel’s findings. That included trying to persuade the Justice Department to get rid of Mueller, according to the report.

    McGahn didn’t, and almost resigned over the episode. He also refused to issue a public statement denying that the reports Trump wanted to fire Mueller were true when the president asked him to, the report says.

    Though Trump has claimed “total exoneration” by the Mueller report, he and his aides have continued to attack Mueller and his team and aggressively dispute some of the more damaging details it contains. Trump declined to sit for an interview with Mueller in which he would have had an opportunity to rebut other testimony.

    The Democratic chairman of the House Judiciary Committee issued a subpoena this week ordering McGahn to testify before the panel next month and hand over documents and records pertaining to federal investigations of Trump, his finances, his campaign and charges that he sought to obstruct justice.

    [White House plans to fight House subpoena of former counsel Donald McGahn for testimony on Mueller report]

    The White House is resisting the move, along with other efforts by Democrats to call key figures in the Mueller probe to testify before Congress.

    In television interviews Sunday and Monday, Trump legal spokesman Rudolph W. Giuliani and former Trump lawyer John Dowd also sought to cast doubt on McGahn’s recollection of Trump’s order to seek Mueller’s firing.

    Both argued that Trump wasn’t as direct as McGahn seemingly believed. Trump was only seeking to have Mueller “vetted,” Dowd said during an appearance on Fox News.

    Mueller’s report did not find sufficient evidence to bring charges of criminal conspiracy with Russia against Trump or anyone associated with his campaign. It did not offer a conclusion about whether Trump obstructed justice.

    Attorney General William P. Barr later concluded that there was not sufficient evidence for obstruction of justice charges, but House Democrats are continuing to aggressively pursue that issue.

    Sanders gets tough reception at minority women’s event, signaling challenges ahead – The Washington Post
    Sanders gets tough reception at minority women’s event, signaling challenges ahead – The Washington Post

    April 24 at 10:31 PM

    HOUSTON — The groans erupted halfway through Bernie Sanders’s appearance Wednesday at a presidential candidates’ forum sponsored by She the People, a group that aims to drive up voter participation among women of color.

    Before an audience of about 1,700, many of them African American and Hispanic women, the moderator asked Sanders (I-Vt.) how he would handle the rise in white supremacy. Sanders spoke of fighting discrimination and running a campaign “to bring our people together around an agenda that speaks to all people” — then returned to a familiar message on universal health care.

    For many in the audience, that was insufficient. “Come on!” a woman shouted from the back, as others began to jeer and boo.

    The reception reflected Sanders’s struggle to win support from minority voters, a problem that dogged his 2016 primary campaign against Hillary Clinton. Sanders has taken steps since to improve his outreach, including meeting with black leaders and talking more frequently about the difficulties facing minorities, but Wednesday’s event suggested the senator still faces challenges.

    Sanders at one point mentioned his long record on civil rights, but it did little to mollify the crowd.

    “I was actually at the March on Washington with Dr. King back in 1963, and — as somebody who actively supported Jesse Jackson’s campaign, as one of the few white elected officials to do so in ’88 — I have dedicated my life to the fight against racism and sexism and discrimination of all forms,” Sanders said. That prompted audible groans.

    Sanders may have come into the event at a disadvantage, since many black women supported Clinton in 2016. Some Clinton backers believe Sanders did too little to help her after she won the nomination.

    Sanders did eventually coax a warmer reception when he vowed to use the presidential “bully pulpit” to counter hate.

    Wednesday’s event, billed by organizers as the first-ever presidential forum for women of color, took place at Texas Southern University, a historically black institution in Houston, one of the most rapidly diversifying cities in the country.

    Democrats hope minority voters, especially black women, will turn out in bigger numbers in 2020. Clinton won the black vote in 2016 with 89 percent to then-candidate Donald Trump’s 8 percent — but just 59 percent of registered black voters turned out. The group is a central part of the Democratic coalition.

    Sanders was one of eight Democratic presidential hopefuls who appeared at the She the People forum, and the candidates sought to appeal to the attendees in various ways.

    Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) repeated an earlier pledge to choose a woman as his running mate. Former congressman Beto O’Rourke (D-Tex.) endorsed the Equal Rights Amendment.

    Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-
    Calif.), who has faced criticism from some liberals who think she was too tough as San Francisco’s district attorney, promised to pardon low-level drug offenders if she wins the White House.

    “We have to have the courage to recognize that there are a lot of folks who have been incarcerated who should not have been incarcerated and are still in prison because they were convicted under draconian laws,” Harris said.

    Looming over the event was former vice president Joe Biden’s anticipated entry into the race on Thursday. Biden has close relations with many in the African American community, but some are unhappy with his treatment of Anita Hill in 1991, when she accused then-Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment. Biden chaired the Judiciary Committee at the time and oversaw Thomas’s confirmation hearing.

    Jamila Taylor, a 41-year-old policy analyst from Virginia, arrived at Wednesday’s event wearing a shirt that read, “I still believe Anita Hill.” She said that Biden had the right to seek the presidency but that his record should be a factor.

    “He should be under scrutiny just like everyone else in the race,” Taylor said. “Speaking for myself, I think it was mishandled.”

    Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) took the stage after Sanders and presented herself as a candidate of ideas. She was asked whether Democratic women might choose a male in the primary season out of concern that the broader electorate would not support a woman for president.

    Warren warned against making such choices based on fear. “Are we going to show up for people that we didn’t actually believe in because we’re too afraid to do anything else?” she said. “That’s not who we are.”

    The forum highlighted Democrats’ need to appeal to a diverse array of voters in 2020. Energizing liberal minority women is one key task for the party, but some Democrats say it’s equally important to appeal to centrist and even conservative voters, including those who supported Trump.

    One major topic was the criminal justice system and how it treats minorities. Sanders had created a stir earlier in the week by saying that convicted criminals should be able to vote while serving prison terms.

    Two other candidates, interviewed Wednesday outside the forum, took a different view.

    “I would think, especially for nonviolent offenders, that we rethink removing the right to vote and allow everyone, or as many as possible, to participate in our democracy,” O’Rourke said. But he added, “For violent criminals, it’s much harder for me to reach that conclusion.”

    And former San Antonio mayor Julián Castro said it makes sense to discuss the issue, but “where I would draw that line is . . . with the people who were incarcerated having the opportunity to still vote.”

    White House blocks senior aide from testifying on immigration policy – ABC News
    White House blocks senior aide from testifying on immigration policy – ABC News

    The White House has declined an invitation from the Democratic chairman of the House Oversight Committee for senior aide Stephen Miller to testify before the committee on the administration’s immigration policies, including a plan to bus migrants to “sanctuary cities.”

    “In accordance with long-standing precedent, we respectfully decline the invitation to make Mr. Miller available for testimony before the committee,” White House counsel Pat Cipollone wrote in a letter obtained by ABC News.

    “The precedent for members of the White House staff to decline invitations to testify before congressional committees has been consistently adhered to by administrations of both political parties and is based on clearly established constitutional doctrines.”

    The White House cites a Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel opinion which states that the president’s immediate advisers are immune from the congressional testimony process. The letter potentially provides a roadmap for how the White House plans to respond to requests for senior aides testifying before Congress.

    Cummings requested that Miller come before the committee to explain the administrations’ handling of the border crisis and recent reports about a plan to transfer immigrants detained at the southern border onto the streets of “sanctuary cities” – a plan President Donald Trump confirmed.

    “I am offering you an opportunity to make your case to the Committee and the American people about why you—and presumably President Trump—believe it is good policy for the Trump Administration to take the actions it has, including intentionally separating immigrant children from their parents at the border to deter them from coming to the United States, transferring asylum seekers to sanctuary cities as a form of illegal retribution against your political adversaries, and firing top Administration officials who refuse orders to violate the law,” Cummings wrote in a letter to Miller last week.

    Anticipating that the White House would decline the invitation, Cummings referenced other senior White House aides who had testified, including former White House counsels and President Bill Clinton’s chief of staff.

      Harry Kazianis: Putin and Kim Jong Un seek improved relations in summit – Fox News
      Video

      Kim Jong Un arrives in Russia for talks with Putin

      The North Korean leader sets foot on Russian soil for the first time after traveling by train; Greg Palkot reports on the goals of the meeting.

      North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and Russian President Vladimir Putin – whose nations are both hurting as a result of U.S. economic sanctions – will hold a summit Thursday in the Russian port city of Vladivostok that may strengthen their trade and cooperation.

      I don’t expect dramatic developments to come out of the meeting, but it could be a significant step that allows the two countries to begin working more closely together for their mutual benefit and be in a better position to resist pressure from the Trump administration.

      Kim is under far more pressure than Putin. The North Korean dictator faces severe U.S. and United Nations sanctions designed get him to give up his small arsenal of nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles.

      NORTH KOREAN LEADER KIM JONG UN ARRIVES IN RUSSIAN PORT CITY AHEAD OF FIRST MEETING WITH PUTIN

      Since the failure of Kim’s February summit with President Trump in Vietnam, Kim is eager to find another country willing to help him evade U.N. economic sanctions that are crippling his economy.

      At his summit with Trump, Kim sought relief from the most punishing sanctions in return for promising limited steps on a path toward eventual denuclearization of the North. But Trump wanted Kim to move forward rapidly to begin getting rid of all his nuclear weapons. Kim refused, leading the summit to end abruptly.

      Putin is in a similar position to Kim in some respects. Moscow is also being subjected to U.S. economic sanctions, but not for nuclear weapons development. Instead, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, seizure of Crimea from that country, and a whole host of other transgressions have led to American sanctions

      Since the failure of Kim’s February summit with President Trump in Vietnam, Kim is eager to find another country willing to help him evade U.N. economic sanctions that are crippling his economy.

      Putin wants to show the world – but mostly President Trump – that he also has options, or potential cards to play against Washington if U.S.-Russia relations get even worse.

      Should we worry about improved Russian-North Korea relations?

      Keep in mind, it was the old Soviet Union that gave North Korea its first pieces of nuclear technology in the 1960s that helped give birth to its atomic weapons. It was also Russian scientists in the early 1990s who helped give Pyongyang the technical know-how it needed to develop the powerful long-range missiles it is perfecting today.

      Thankfully for Western civilization, there is little to fear from these two old allies coming closer together.

      Russia is no longer the Soviet Union – and thank God for that. Putin’s Russia is an impoverished nation in decline, with an economy smaller than South Korea’s or Italy’s. Moscow does not have the economic muscle to help North Korea in a major way even if it wanted to.

      Then there is the issue of granting North Korea what it wants most: sanctions relief. The most damaging sanctions come courtesy of multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions passed in 2016 and 2017 that have not only halted growth but caused North Korea’s economy to contract considerably.

      Considering that it would take all five permanent U.N. Security Council members – including the U.S. – to vote for repeal of these sanctions, there will not be any sanctions relief coming any time soon.

      While there is always the possibility that Russia would outright violate U.N. resolutions and break the sanctions regime altogether, Putin will likely conclude the consequences and likely pushback by the Trump administration would not be worth the risk.

      But Putin might have another card up his sleeve. Imagine a situation in the future where U.S.-Russia relations are even worse than what they are now. Moscow would love to have a North Korea card in its pocket, ready to pull out at a moment’s notice.

      Consider a situation, for example, where there is another incident over Ukraine or in the Baltics and America and Russia are at loggerheads. Russia would always have the option of raising the stakes by helping North Korea in some way.

      Moscow, for example, could make it much harder for America to destroy Kim’s nuclear weapons by giving Pyongyang advanced air defense equipment like the S-400 or even newer S-500 that could potentially attack stealth aircraft.

      While such ideas might be fiction now, history tells us the great powers of the world must consider every eventuality – something Putin seems to be good at.

      North Korea also seems to be thinking about the future. Kim, in many respects, is trying to emulate the foreign policy of his grandfather who ruled North Korea, Kim Il Sung.

      Grandpa Kim was good at playing off the great powers against one another. North Korea was at its strongest – and in fact, the envy of many communist nations – when it received large amounts of economic aid from both the Soviet Union and China as both nations competed for Pyongyang’s allegiance.

      And while now there are no economic goodies or great power bidding wars for Kim’s love today, there may come a day when there is a deal over North Korea’s nuclear program and sanctions are lifted. At that point, nations the world over will want a piece of North Korea’s economic modernization.

      This could mean trillions of dollars in North Korean minerals up for grabs and even potential offshore oil. There will, in many respects, be a race to North Korea, and Kim will be in a good position to take advantage of it.

      Having friendly ties with Russia now could come in very handy later for Kim.

      So it would seem both Putin and Kim will have a lot to smile about when they pose for photos at their summit. Each could see a potential partner in the future, even if for now there is not much one can offer the other. And, at least for now, both seem to be happy with such an arrangement.

      Sanders says even the Boston bomber should have the right to vote while in prison; reaction from First Step Act beneficiary Matthew Charles.

      The first man released from prison under President Trump’s criminal justice reform law reacted to Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., saying that prisoners should be permitted to vote by noting the “logistical” problems of allowing prisoners serving a sentence to vote and backing prisoners who served their time to have their rights restored.

      “I do know while you’re incarcerated you do lose some of your liberties. But my thing is, once a person has been completely released and they paid their debt to society and they are back in society actually functioning, paying taxes, then they should have their rights restored to vote,” Matthew Charles, who was released from prison under the First Step Act, said on Fox News’  “The Story with Martha MacCallum.”

      “But during the period they’re incarcerated, it’s going to be like a complex issue because of the logistics. You got people incarcerated in states that they actually are not from.”

      Sanders opened himself to scrutiny this week after saying that not only should incarcerated prisoners be permitted to vote but that Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev should also be permitted to vote.

      “If somebody commits a serious crime, sexual assault, murder, they will be punished. But I think the right to vote is inherent to our democracy. Yes, even for terrible people,” Sanders said Monday on a CNN Town Hall.

      Trump’s re-election campaign called out Sanders Wednesday, describing his idea “deeply offensive.”

      “The extremity and radicalism of the 2020 Democrats knows no bounds,” Trump campaign press secretary Kayleigh McEnany told Fox News.

      “Giving imprisoned terrorists, sex offenders, and murderers the right to vote is an outrageous proposal that is deeply offensive to innocent victims across this country, some of whom lost their lives and are forever disenfranchised by the very killers that 2020 Democrats seek to empower,” she said.

      Bernie Sanders doubles down on giving felons the right to vote

      Sanders says even the Boston bomber should have the right to vote while in prison; reaction from First Step Act beneficiary Matthew Charles.

      2020 presidential contender Bernie Sanders faced an aggressive and, at times, outwardly combative audience at the She The People Forum devoted to women of color in Houston on Wednesday, as the self-described democratic socialist struggled to convince attendees of his commitment to minority and underprivileged communities.

      The tense moments underscored the challenges Sanders’ campaign still faces despite its frontrunner status. The 77-year-old Vermont senator, long a champion for progressive causes, has sought to win over voters who turned out in massive numbers to support former President Barack Obama.

      In a particularly striking moment, host Aimee Allison asked Sanders what he would do to fight white-supremacist violence. In response, Sanders launched into a familiar anecdote that — perhaps precisely because of its familiarity — seemed to crash and burn.

      “I know I date myself a little bit here, but I actually was at the March on Washington with Dr. [Martin Luther] King back in 1963,” Sanders began, as audible groans and jeers broke out at the auditorium at Texas Southern University. One person apparently shouted, “We know!”

      “And,” Sanders continued, as he held his hand up to quiet the crowd and apparently to wag his finger, “as somebody who actively supported Jesse Jackson’s campaign, as one of the few white elected officials to do so in ’88, I have dedicated my life to the fight against racism, and sexism, and discrimination of all forms.”

      Sanders faced similar backlash when he responded to an audience question about white supremacy by discussing immigration and the federal minimum wage, as well as his sweeping “Medicare for All” proposal. The audience loudly applauded when Allison reminded Sanders that the “core of the question” concerned violence against minorities.

      Separately, co-host Joy Reid asked Sanders how he would win over Hillary Clinton voters, including black women in particular. In response, Sanders trashed Trump as “the most dangerous president” in modern history, and generally called for unity among Democrats as well as “social justice, racial justice, and environmental justice.”

      That response immediately drew more hecklers, as Reid pressed, “Yeah, and for black women specifically?”

      “I’m sorry?” Sanders asked, as the jeers became louder. “For black women specifically,” Reid reiterated.

      Sanders responded: “Black women will be an integral part of what our campaign, and what our administration is about. Okay? And that means –“

      The audience erupted with heckling for a few seconds, as Sanders tossed his arm up in the air in dismay and muttered, “Okay.”

      “Were you finished with your –,” Allison asked when the crowd quieted.

      “Yeah,” Sanders replied.

      Seven other 2020 Democrats spoke at the first-ever She The People forum on Wednesday, including Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Beto O’Rourke, Julian Castro, Tulsi Gabbard and Amy Klobuchar.

      Some used the event to make news and largely avoided audience attacks. Booker, for example, definitively declared that his running mate will be a woman.

      But, the road was rocky for others. Gabbard, a Hawaii congresswoman, also faced some heat from the crowd during her own remarks.

      “There are a lot of bad people in the world,” Gabbard began at one point.

      Then came the reply from a heckler: “You’re one of them!”
