DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – The son of slain Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi says no settlement discussions have taken place and suggested that financial compensation to the family did not amount to an admission of guilt by Saudi rulers.

Salah Khashoggi described King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman as “guardians to all Saudis.”

“Acts of generosity and humanity come from the high moral grounds they possess, not admission of guilt or scandal,” he said in a statement on Twitter on Wednesday.

On April 1, the Washington Post reported the writer’s children were given “blood money” in the form of million-dollar homes and monthly payments after Khashoggi’s killing by Saudi agents in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul last year.

The Post, quoting Saudi officials speaking anonymously, reported the payments were approved by King Salman.

The E.U. Seems Ready to Put Brexit on Ice. But for How Long? – The New York Times
The E.U. Seems Ready to Put Brexit on Ice. But for How Long? – The New York Times

One argument against a long extension, which France makes, is that Britain could create difficulties with a new budget and other key issues, since it would remain a member with all of a member’s rights and responsibilities. President Emmanuel Macron is seeking some form of guarantee from Mrs. May that Britain would behave responsibly.

Mr. Macron has suggested quarterly “reviews” of Britain’s behavior during any long extension, which others find difficult legally. But it may be that as a compromise, diplomats suggest, the extension would run only to the end of October.

The idea is to give time for Britain to sort itself out and decide what kind of future relationship it wants. But in any case, European officials emphasize, the withdrawal agreement, including the Irish backstop, designed to guarantee no hard border between Northern Ireland and Ireland, will not change.

There is little expectation in Brussels that Mrs. May’s current negotiations with the opposition Labour Party will come to a positive conclusion, hence the willingness for a long extension. But whether that means the end of Mrs. May’s premiership and new elections is not Europe’s concern, the officials say.

The difference now, in contrast to the last emergency council meeting last month, is that the European leaders have decided to take control over the length of any extension. What might happen at the end of it — including a no-deal Brexit, or a decision to stay in the European Union — would be up to Britain.

Black Hole Picture Revealed for the First Time – The New York Times
Black Hole Picture Revealed for the First Time – The New York Times

To capture the image, astronomers reached across intergalactic space to a giant galaxy in Virgo, known as Messier 87. There, a black hole about seven billion times more massive than the sun is unleashing a violent jet of energy some 5,000 light years into space.

[Sign up to get reminders for space and astronomy events on your calendar.]

The image offered a final, ringing affirmation of an idea so disturbing that even Einstein, from whose equations black holes emerged, was loath to accept it. If too much matter is crammed into one place, the cumulative force of gravity becomes overwhelming, and the place becomes an eternal trap, a black hole. Here, according to Einstein’s theory, matter, space and time come to an end and vanish like a dream.

On Wednesday morning that dark vision became a visceral reality. When the image was put up on the screen in Washington, cheers and gasps, followed by applause, broke out.

The image emerged from two years of computer analysis of observations from a network of radio antennas called the Event Horizon Telescope. In all, eight radio observatories on six mountains and four continents observed the galaxies Sagittarius and Virgo on and off for 10 days in April 2017.

The network is named after the edge of a black hole, the point of no return; beyond the event horizon, not even light can escape the black hole’s gravitational pull.

Israeli election results: Benjamin Netanyahu reelected prime minister – Vox.com
Israeli election results: Benjamin Netanyahu reelected prime minister – Vox.com

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has managed to hold on to power, winning what will be a record fifth term in office despite a bruising reelection fight.

The preliminary results from Israel’s Tuesday election have Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud party getting 35 seats out of a total 120 seats in the Knesset (Israel’s parliament). While Likud didn’t win an outright majority of seats, that’s typical in Israeli elections.

Party leaders generally become prime ministers by cobbling together a parliamentary majority with the help of smaller parties. In this case, a group of smaller right-wing parties expected to back Netanyahu seems to have captured 65 seats, enough to give him a 10-seat majority over the rival center-left bloc (the exact numbers could change as the remaining two percent of votes are tallied).

Netanyahu is now set to be the longest-serving prime minister in Israeli history — even longer than David Ben-Gurion, the country’s first prime minister, who’s often described as “Israel’s George Washington.” And the ramifications of his fifth term could be enormous, for both the health of Israeli democracy and the fate of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The prime minister is facing a pending criminal indictment on bribery and fraud charges by Israel’s attorney general that’s likely to come down later this year. And now that Netanyahu has all but secured a victory, it’s possible his coalition could pass legislation protecting him from prosecution while in office, in essence letting him get away with his alleged crimes for the time being.

What’s more, Netanyahu made a stunning last-minute campaign promise over the weekend to annex Jewish settlements in the West Bank if reelected — extending full Israeli sovereignty over settlements widely considered illegal under international law. If he follows through, it would be the most radical rejection of a negotiated two-state solution by any Israeli prime minister in modern history. It would also generate a massive crisis for Israel and the broader Middle East.

In sum, this is a very, very big deal.

Israel’s election results reveal why Netanyahu won

The story of Netanyahu’s victory is pretty simple: Israel is a center-right country, and Netanyahu rallied enough right-wing voters to defeat the center.

Since the collapse of the peace process in the early 2000s and the rise of the Hamas government in Gaza after Israel’s withdrawal from the territory, the Israeli public has drifted further and further toward skepticism about peace and the outside world.

Political scientists have documented strong evidence that rocket attacks and suicide bombings lead to increased vote shares for right-wing parties, suggesting that the unending Palestinian conflict has led to a complete collapse of support for Israel’s left-wing peace camp.

Labor, the center-left party that dominated Israeli politics for the country’s first 50 years of existence, hasn’t won an election since 1999. The preliminary results have them winning a dismal six seats this time around.

Netanyahu’s past 10 years in office, and especially the past four, are both a consequence and a cause of this right-wing drift.

Since 2009, the prime minister has become more and more right-wing in a bid to protect his flank from other right-wing challengers, a strategy that’s both substantively dangerous and politically effective.

Under the prime minister’s leadership, policies that would not have been considered in the past — like the annexation of part of the West Bank or a law defining Israel as a “Jewish” nation-state in a fashion that excludes the country’s sizable Arab minority — have either been proposed or enacted.

The leading opposition to Netanyahu this time around wasn’t a leftist party, but rather a new centrist party, Blue and White (named for the colors of the Israeli flag). Led by Benny Gantz, a retired general and former chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces, the party aimed to dodge the kind of weak-on-security attacks that Netanyahu had long deployed against left-wing rivals.

Gantz ran a campaign that focused heavily on his security credentials and staffed the top tier of his party with other ex-military men. But his tough-guy positioning evidently wasn’t compelling enough to overcome Netanyahu and his Likud party’s appeal.

Netanyahu’s campaign focused on his long record of guiding Israel through conflict and security crises, but also on his close relationships with right-wing, nationalist leaders like Brazilian President Jair Bolsanaro and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Of these global Netanyahu friends, one was especially important: President Donald Trump. Not only is the US Israel’s closest ally, but under Trump, the US both moved its embassy to Jerusalem and, just before the election, recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights — both unprecedented moves that were big wins for Netanyahu.

Likud’s strong performance was buoyed by the success of a number of smaller religious and conservative parties, including one party — United Right — that includes one faction so far-right and anti-Arab that observers have characterized it as “fascist.”

Netanyahu also benefited from what looks like a collapse in turnout among Israel’s Arab minority, who were vital to the hopes of the broader left. It’s hard to say yet why this happened, but it’s worth noting that Likud activists tried to smuggle in cameras to document alleged “election fraud” by Arab voters on the day of the vote. Hadash Ta’al, the leading Arab party, saw it as an attempt to menace their voters and deter them from voting — one that may have been effective, especially coming on the heels of a campaign that relentlessly marginalized Arab voters.

“The anti-Arab tone has been a constant backdrop to the election campaign and even Netanyahu’s opponents are afraid to challenge it,” writes Anshel Pfeffer, a columnist and reporter at Israel’s left-wing Haaretz newspaper.

Israel’s election results appear set. So what happens now?

First, Netanyahu needs to figure out exactly which parties he’s going to include in his coalition.

He could reach out to Gantz to try to form a more centrist national unity coalition, but his post-election comments suggest he won’t do that. Instead, he seems likely to work with almost exclusively right-wing parties to build a hard-right majority. The exact setup of this government will be decided in the coming month or so.

After that’s all sorted out, the most immediate issue will be the looming indictment. Netanyahu is expected to try to build support for a proposed law that would immunize him from prosecution while in office. If he fails and the indictment comes down this summer as expected, his coalition could very well fracture under the pressure — leading to a new Likud prime minister or potentially new elections.

Netanyahu’s electoral victory, in other words, doesn’t mean he’s out of the woods yet.

“This is one station in a journey Netanyahu is going to go through in the next few months,” says Natan Sachs, director of the Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution think tank in Washington. “The real game is about the indictment: whether he gets immunity from it, whether he can survive indictment and keep the coalition going even while on trial — those are the real questions.”

The second big question is about Netanyahu’s promise to begin annexing West Bank settlements.

It’s hard to overstate how significant this move would be if Netanyahu follows through with it. Israel would be asserting permanent control over land that most countries believe belongs to the Palestinians. It would immediately cause a rupture in Israel’s relations with many countries around the world, potentially even Arab dictatorships that have been quietly working with Israel against Iran.

And for the Palestinians, it would be catastrophic.

“Such a move would likely signal the death knell of the two-state solution and move Israel closer to a formal apartheid reality on the ground,” says Khaled Elgindy, a senior fellow at Brookings.

The fate of these two big issues, indictment immunity and West Bank annexation, could also be linked. It’s conceivable that Netanyahu could trade annexation for immunity: offer hard-right parties a guarantee that annexation will happen if they vote to pass an immunity bill.

If that happens, it would be a double disaster for Israel: Not only would the prime minister be shielding himself from facing justice for the foreseeable future, undermining a basic tenet of democratic accountability, he’d also be moving toward turning what’s supposed to be a temporary occupation of Palestinian land into permanent seizure.

This would be a move toward authoritarianism and apartheid.

It’s not yet clear if that dire scenario will come to pass. But Netanyahu’s victory means the threat to both Israeli democracy and Palestinian freedom is higher than ever.

    Rep. Ilhan Omar criticizes Israel at Council on American-Islamic Relations fundraiser

    Israeli Ambassador to the U.N. Danny Danon says the rate at which Minnesota Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar criticizes Israel is ‘pure anti-Semitism.’

    Minnesota Democrat Ilhan Omar is facing backlash after her speech at a Muslim rights group’s event in which she described the September 11, 2001 terror attacks as “some people did something.”

    Omar spoke at a Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) fundraiser last month, where she called upon other Muslim Americans to “make people uncomfortable” with their activism and presence in the society and criticized the Jewish state.

    REP. ILHAN OMAR PROBED FOR ALLEGEDLY SPENDING $6,000 OF CAMPAIGN FUNDS ON DIVORCE ATTORNEY, PERSONAL TRAVEL

    But another part of the speech surfaced on social media earlier this week, in which Omar described the terror attacks perpetrated by al Qaeda.

    “CAIR was founded after 9/11 because they recognized that some people did something, and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties,” Omar said at the event.

    The comments from the Minnesota freshman Democrat, still reeling from a number of anti-Semitic controversies, prompted Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw to slam Omar for her description of the terror attacks.

    “First Member of Congress to ever describe terrorists who killed thousands of Americans on 9/11 as ‘some people who did something,’” Crenshaw wrote in a tweet. “Unbelievable.”

    NETANYAHU, ILHAN OMAR SPAR OVER ROLE OF AIPAC’S POLITICAL MONEY: ‘IT’S NOT ABOUT THE BENJAMINS’

    Others have also jumped on to criticize Omar’s language, urging Democrats to condemn her remarks about the largest terror attack on U.S. soil that left nearly 3,000 people dead.

    “9/11 terrorists & the terror attacks they conducted are described as simply ‘some people did something’? Every Democrat should be asked by the media if they disavow @IlhanMN’s statements. Every one of them,” tweeted Andrew Pollack, father of a Parkland high school shooting victim.

    “Ilhan Omar isn’t just anti-Semitic – she’s anti-American. Nearly 3,000 Americans lost their lives to Islamic terrorists on 9/11, yet Omar diminishes it as: ‘Some people did something.’ Democrat leaders need to condemn her brazen display of disrespect,” said GOP chairwoman Ronna McDaniel.

    CAIR has been infamously listed as an unindicted co-conspirator in funding of Hamas, stemming from the case against the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development which led to millions of charitable dollars getting funneled to the Palestinian terrorist organization.

    Omar’s speech at CAIR in Southern California drew hundreds of protesters waving Israeli flags and denouncing the congresswoman’s comments about Israel that were perceived as anti-Semitic.

    She first came under fire for tweeting in 2012 that “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel.”

    She then drew bipartisan uproar in February after she suggested politicians in the U.S. were bought by AIPAC, a non-partisan organization that seeks to foster the relationship between the U.S. and Israel.

    Omar then reignited the controversy, saying groups supportive of Israel were pushing members of Congress to have “allegiance to a foreign country,” echoing the anti-Semitic trope of dual loyalty.

    Delta CEO hopes 737 Max issue doesn’t set back industry – Atlanta Journal Constitution
    Delta CEO hopes 737 Max issue doesn’t set back industry – Atlanta Journal Constitution

    Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian said discussions surrounding probes into crashes of two Boeing 737 Max planes will “open up a lot of questions.”

    While Delta does not fly the 737 Max, “I hope it doesn’t set us back as an industry,” Bastian said during remarks at Aviation Week Network’s MRO Americas conference being held at the Georgia World Congress Center this week.

    “I’m confident that Boeing will solve this issue,” Bastian said. “I think there will, no question, be lessons learned from this…. I think we’ll all learn from it.”

    When asked if the Boeing 737 Max grounding raises issues about the relationship between the industry and regulators, Bastian said: “No question, it’s going to open up a lot of questions.”

    Delta, which has a large aircraft maintenance operation, is among the airlines with an Organization Designation Authorization from the Federal Aviation Administration, authorizing it to conduct some functions normally done by the FAA. The FAA says it “remains directly involved in the testing and certification of any new and novel features and technologies.”

    The FAA’s relationship with airlines and manufacturers has come under scrutiny in the wake of the 737 Max crashes.

    Bastian said Tuesday: “We gotta get out of the world of cops and robbers. We’re all on the same path here, and the better information and the more transparency we can offer on both sides…. the safer our customers are.”

    The 737 Max crisis has also affected other priorities at Boeing.

    <!–

    –>

    Delta is interested in a new aircraft Boeing is developing, currently dubbed the New Midsize Airplane, or NMA.

    “We’ve talked with Boeing at some length about the NMA. Clearly they’re distracted, obviously, with the issues that happened with the Max,” Bastian said.

    At Delta, “we have a big need. We have 200 757s and 767s that will be retired over the next decade, and we think the NMA would be a perfect candidate to replace many of those airplanes,” Bastian said. “Relative to Boeing, we’ve made our interest known and we’ve talked publicly about this in terms of having an interest to be one of the launch customers. And I hope we can get into deeper conversations soon.”

    Israeli exit polls are just as unreliable as American ones – Washington Examiner
    Israeli exit polls are just as unreliable as American ones – Washington Examiner

    As polls get set to close in Israel with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu facing a tight reelection battle, keep in mind that Israeli exit polls are just as unreliable as American ones.

    Voting stations will close at 3 p.m. Eastern time, and the early exits are expected to drip out around then. But it won’t be until much later that we get a sense of how the actual vote turned out, and if things were close, it will take days or longer to figure out the next prime minister.

    In 2015, polls predicted Netanyahu was a goner, and then, early exits showed his Likud party more or less tied with the liberal Zionist Union party. But in the end, it turned out that Netanyahu enjoyed a significant victory, with Likud winning 30 seats to 24 for the Zionist Union.

    The unreliability of polls is a function both of the complex parliamentary system in Israel as well as the tendency of Likud voters to be more reluctant to participate in polls.

    To become prime minister, an Israeli politician has to be able to put together a coalition that adds up to a majority of 61 seats in the parliament, or Knesset. So what everybody is waiting to see tonight is not just how well the two top parties did (this time, it will be Likud and the centrist Blue and White), but ultimately whether the right-wing bloc or left-win bloc ended up with more support collectively.

    Further complicating matters is that for a party to get any seats, it has to meet the threshold of winning at least four. Anything below that amount and those votes essentially get discounted, and the seats get apportioned among the parties that did meet the threshold. There are 39 parties running this time around, of which 14 are expected to make it into the Knesset. Given how the parties on the bubble can have a big impact depending on whether they get just above the threshold or below the threshold, it’s difficult to tell where things will end up until the votes have been counted. At that point, the horse trading begins to woo the smaller parties into a coalition, which could take days or even weeks.

    Barr’s tactic with the Mueller report: spin and delay – The Boston Globe
    Barr’s tactic with the Mueller report: spin and delay – The Boston Globe



    US Attorney General William Barr has some explaining to do.

    In the more than two weeks since Barr sent Congress his summary of the more than 400-page Mueller report it seems increasingly clear that the attorney general is doing political spadework for President Trump.

    In the process he’s needlessly sullied his reputation on behalf of an increasingly unhinged and chronically dishonest president.

    Not only did Barr endorse Trump’s “no collusion” talking point, but on the question of obstruction of justice, Barr concluded there was no criminal behavior on the president’s part.

    However, it remains frustratingly unclear as to why Barr was offering an opinion on Trump’s criminal liability in the first place. Department of Justice guidelines state that a sitting president cannot be indicted — so the attorney general’s views are not necessarily germane. Even if Barr concluded that Trump broke the law there’s not much he could do about if. It’s Congress’s job to hold the president accountable for potentially criminal acts. By weighing in on the question, Barr was, in effect, usurping Congress’s constitutionally mandated role in making such determinations.

    All of this raised legitimate concerns that Barr was putting his finger on the scale to help the president.

    Last week, confirmation of those fears began rolling in. In quick succession, stories appeared in The New York Times and The Washington Post in which the once leak-allergic Mueller team made clear it’s displeasure with Barr’s conduct.

    According to the Times, Mueller’s investigators were angry about Barr’s characterizations of their inquiry, which they said “were more troubling for President Trump than Mr. Barr indicated.” The Post said the evidence gathered by Mueller on obstruction of justice “was alarming and significant,” and “there was immediate displeasure from the [Mueller] team when they saw how the attorney general had characterized their work.”

    But the most troubling detail was the revelation in the Post story that Mueller’s team had prepared summaries from each section of the report, with minimum redactions, that “could have been released immediately — or very quickly.”

    Why didn’t Barr simply release the summaries prepared by Mueller’s team? Why put his spin on their conclusion — spin that now seems inaccurate?

    Moreover, why has the report still not been released?

    The answer, unfortunately, feels increasingly obvious: Barr is protecting the president. Barr’s summary quickly created a public narrative on the report that provided huge political benefits to Trump. Barr now appears to be purposely dragging his feet on releasing the full report, for fear that it will embarrass the president.

    Far too many in the media took the bait, immediately trumpeting Barr’s summary of the report and some even castigating reporters and pundits for allegedly getting the Russia story wrong.

    But did they? There is no reason, at this point, to take Barr’s summary of the Mueller report seriously. This attorney general not only was nominated by Trump — after he fired his predecessor, in part, for not doing enough to protect him from Mueller’s investigation — but before taking the job Barr also wrote an unsolicited 19-page memo to the Department of Justice that criticized the investigation. Now he’s stonewalling on releasing the report and — if Mueller’s prosecutors are to be believed — has baldly mischaracterized it to the public.

    If he has skewed the report, he’s yet one more Trump administration figure openly surrendering his integrity and ethical core to a man utterly devoid of either. That’s not quite a surprise at this point. Such obsequiousness is the defining characteristic of this administration and its retinue of hangers-on and enablers.

    One only had to watch Kirstjen Nielsen humiliatingly resign her position as secretary of Homeland Security this weekend to marvel at the blind loyalty shown by members of this administration to a president who has done not one thing to merit such devotion.

    Nielsen was the administration point person for a policy of tearing children away from their parents. That decision should haunt her for the rest of her days. But there she was on Sunday, thrown under the bus for not being cruel enough to immigrants, and yet, as the tires bounced over her body, she was still playing the role of the loyal soldier.

    With Barr it’s more of a head-scratcher, unless the inclination of Republicans to bend a knee to power has been so ritualistically ingrained on party lifers that they seemingly know no other path.

    Back when he testified to Congress in his confirmation hearings earlier this year, Barr reassured members of the Senate Judiciary Committee that he could “truly be independent.” As he said at the time, “I feel I’m in a position in life where I can do the right thing and not really care about the consequences.”

    But as is so often the case with anyone deluded and morally deficient enough to work for this administration, doing the wrong thing is something of a default position, even when the consequence is one’s own honor.

    Trump can make an immigration deal: Drop the wall to close the asylum hole – Washington Examiner
    Trump can make an immigration deal: Drop the wall to close the asylum hole – Washington Examiner

    Donald Trump’s most fervent supporters can do him and the country a massive favor right now: Stop making excuses for his numerous failures to secure the southern border and start threatening to stay home on Election Day 2020 if he doesn’t show more urgency for his main campaign issue.

    NBC reported last month that “the Department of Health and Human Services has requested [Department of Defense] support for bed space for up to 5,000 children.” The report added that the Department of Homeland Security is “working on a plan that would allow defense funds and personnel to be used in transporting immigrants in need of medical transport.”

    That’s three federal agencies being crushed under the weight of an unabated flow of migrants showing up at our door in need of welfare. Yes, welfare — that’s millions of dollars in healthcare and child services they’re immediately receiving upon arrival, Democrats’ denials notwithstanding.

    A series of absurd court orders and a Democratic Party that aggressively stands for open borders share the blame for this chaos. But Trump sold himself to the public as the ultimate dealmaker, Mr. “I alone can fix it.”

    Trump has tried, but he just gives up when he meets with opposition. His Justice Department began fully implementing punishment for border crossers in 2018 (he caved on that); he backed legislation by Sens. David Perdue, R-Ga., and Tom Cotton, R-Ark., that same year that would have secured the border and implemented a merit-based immigration system (it was never heard of again); and he shut down the government in early 2019 to get more money for a border wall (he caved on that).

    The one thing Trump has done right is begin construction of several miles’ worth of effective wall barrier along the southern border.

    Unfortunately, as I found out when I went to the Texas border in January, no amount of wall can fix the asylum sham that Central Americans are taking full advantage of when they show up at the Rio Grande. One magic word, “asylum,” allows them into the United States almost without condition.

    But Trump can actually make a difference there. So far, he’s shown no sign that he fully understands the gaping asylum hole or that he cares. But assume for a second that he does, and here’s something he could do that he has so far never been able to do: Make a deal!

    Trump can drop the wall, at least for now, and instead propose a trade with Democrats: citizenship for recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program in exchange for an end to the asylum racket.

    Maybe Democrats will reject the offer, but let’s at least see them answer for it. Let’s at least see them get uncomfortable on the issue. Let’s at least see their 2020 presidential candidates explain why the Americans are better off funding free healthcare and child services for hundreds of thousands of non-citizens month after month.

    Trump on Sunday effectively fired Kirstjen Nielsen, his secretary of homeland security, because he was dissatisfied with what’s happening to our border. Too bad for her, but it should even be worse for Trump’s 2020 prospects. He can appoint any new secretary he wants, and so long as the asylum law remains unchanged, it won’t make one bit of difference. Whom will he fire then?

    Another tax headache ahead: IRS is changing paycheck withholdings and it’ll be a doozy – USA TODAY
    Another tax headache ahead: IRS is changing paycheck withholdings and it’ll be a doozy – USA TODAY
    CLOSE

    Taxpayers are accustomed to receiving big refunds after filing, but experts warn that with new laws more people could end up owing the IRS. Veuer’s Justin Kircher has the details.
    Buzz60

    You finally finished your taxes and are learning – for better or worse – the ins and outs of the new law.

    But wait, the law isn’t done with you. There’s another complication coming out later this year: The Internal Revenue Service is changing how you adjust your paycheck withholdings, and early indicators show it won’t be easy.

    The agency plans to release a new W-4 form that better incorporates the changes ushered in by the new tax law so that the amount held back for taxes in each of your paychecks is more accurate.

    But the changes won’t be simple, says Pete Isberg, head of government affairs at ADP, the payroll and human resources company.

    Filling out the new form will be a lot like doing your taxes again.

    “It’ll be a much bigger pain,” he says. “The accuracy will be 100 percent, but the ease-of-use will be zero.”

    What’s changing?

    While the new form hasn’t been released yet, the IRS last summer put out a draft version and instructions  seeking feedback from tax preparation companies and payroll firms. Instead of claiming a certain amount of allowances based on exemptions – which have been eliminated – the draft form asked workers to input the annual dollar amounts for:

    • Nonwage income, such as interest and dividends
    • Itemized and other deductions
    • Income tax credits expected for the tax year
    • For employees with multiple jobs, total annual taxable wages for all lower paying jobs in the household

    “It looked a lot more like the 1040 than a W-4,” Isberg says.

    More newsletters

    The new form referenced up to 12 other IRS publications to fill it out. It was so complex and different from the previous W-4 form that Ernst & Young worried employees would struggle to fill it out correctly and employers may need to offer training beforehand.

    Why is it taking so long?

    The tax and payroll community expressed many concerns about the draft form aside from its complexity.

    Many cited privacy issues because the form asked for spousal and family income that workers might not want to share with their employers. Other employees may not want to disclose they have another job or do side work outside their full-time job.

    To avoid disclosing so much private information, taxpayers instead could use the IRS withholding calculator, but it’s “not easy to use and the instructions are confusing,” according to feedback from the American Payroll Association.

    In September, the IRS scrapped plans to implement the new W-4 form for 2019 and instead is planning to roll it out for 2020.

    What to expect

    Another draft version of the new W-4 is expected by May 31, according to the IRS, which will also ask for public comment.

    “We encourage taxpayers to take advantage of that opportunity and send us comments on the redesign,” says agency spokeswoman Anny Pachner.

    The IRS will review the comments and plans to post a second draft later in the summer. The final W-4 version will be released by the end of the year in time for the 2020 tax year.

    Once it arrives, you’ll probably need the following information on hand, says Kathy Pickering, executive director of H&R Block’s Tax Institute. That may mean lugging in past 1099 forms, paystubs or last year’s tax returns to fill it out correctly.

    • Your filing status
    • Number of dependents
    • Information about your itemized deductions such as home mortgage interest, state and local taxes, and charitable deductions

    Can Congress force Trump to hand over his tax returns? – Vox.com
    Can Congress force Trump to hand over his tax returns? – Vox.com

    Presidential candidates are not required by law to release tax returns, but every major-party nominee in modern American history has done so. Until Donald Trump.

    Trump’s refusal to adhere to this norm has set up a potential legal fight between Congress and the White House.

    Last week, Rep. Richard Neal (D-MA), who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee, sent a letter to the IRS formally requesting Trump’s federal income tax returns going back to 2013. The request also demands the returns for eight other entities linked to Trump.

    In the letter, Neal claims that Congress “has a duty to conduct oversight of departments and officials,” and in this case, that duty involves evaluating the IRS policy to audit all presidents’ tax returns. The letter cites an obscure 1924 law that gives the House Ways and Means Committee the power to request tax returns from the Treasury Department for review in closed session.

    Mick Mulvaney, the acting White House chief of staff, said during an interview on Fox News Sunday that Democrats will “never” see Trump’s tax returns, insisting that the tax issue “was already litigated during the election.”

    So where does this leave us? Does Congress have the right to demand Trump’s tax returns? And if the Treasury Department refuses to hand them over, what happens next?

    To get some answers, I reached out to 11 legal experts. Their full responses, edited for clarity and length, are below.

    Jessica Levinson, law professor, Loyola Law School

    I expect the justices of the Supreme Court may well be the ones to answer the question. A reading of the plain language of the tax code indicates that Congress does in fact have the legal authority to request and obtain tax information from any filer, including the president. Therefore, if Steven Mnuchin, the secretary of the Treasury, refuses Congress’s request, he would be violating the law.

    But the president of the United States is, of course, not just any tax filer. And the Supreme Court will be careful about separation of powers issues that ask whether a congressional committee can force the Department of Treasury to hand over the president’s tax returns.

    The president’s lawyer has claimed that Congress must but does not have a “legitimate legislative purpose.” Congressman Neal, the chair of the House Ways and Means Committee, has provided such a purpose. Neal claims he is investigating the effectiveness of the IRS’s policy of auditing the tax returns of sitting presidents — although that doesn’t quite explain why he is requesting returns including years both before Trump became president and during his presidency.

    That members of Congress may obtain President Trump’s tax returns does not mean that they will automatically, or ever, become public. Under the tax code, the congressional committee which requests the tax returns can only review them in a “closed executive session.”

    Andy Grewal, law professor, University of Iowa

    Let’s suppose that one of the congressional tax committees is chaired by a racist person. And let’s suppose that he demands that the IRS give him the tax returns of various civil rights leaders, so he can harass them on account of their race or politics. Under one commonly expressed view, the IRS is helpless here. The statute says the IRS “shall furnish” tax returns to the committee chair upon request and that’s the end of it.

    But there’s another view: The Constitution applies to Congress. The Supreme Court has repeatedly told us that the Constitution permits Congress to perform investigations and subpoena documents only when it pursues a legitimate legislative purpose. If that standard applies here, the IRS can deny the request. Pursuing invidious racial discrimination is not a legitimate purpose.

    Of course, regarding the request for President Trump’s returns, there is not even a hint of racial animosity. So the facts are quite different. But the request presents the same threshold legal question: Does Rep. Neal need a legitimate legislative purpose? In my view, that answer is clearly yes.

    It will be much easier to show a legitimate legislative purpose for a request about the president’s tax returns than for civil rights leaders’ returns. But in either case, we should recognize that constitutional standards apply.

    Daniel Shaviro, law professor, New York University

    This is not an issue on which there is any possibility of reasonable disagreement. Any well-informed person who disagrees either that the Ways and Means Committee has an obligation to demand Trump’s tax returns as part of fulfilling its oversight duties or that Trump is legally obliged to turn them over is either a partisan hack or contemptuous of the rule of law.

    Trump has credibly been accused of engaging in criminal activity for decades. It’s undisputed that he is still profiting from his businesses. There is substantial information in the public record suggesting that he is for sale (or subject to blackmail) and that many of his public policy decisions have been made for corrupt reasons. The tax returns may help provide information that sheds light on his motives. It’s an indispensable part of congressional oversight, and Republicans as well as Democrats in the Congress ought to recognize this (and in private probably do, whether or not they care).

    All this is even leaving aside the law that would be quite clear in favor of the request even if all of the above evidence of criminality, corruption, and improper motives were not so powerful.

    It’s obvious that business tax returns as well as individual ones are a necessary part of the oversight here. I don’t know why the particular ones were selected, and I would think that casting the net far more broadly (e.g., all Trump businesses, and all tax returns for the last 20 years) would have been well within reasonable oversight.

    Leandra Lederman, law professor, Indiana University

    As chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Rep. Neal absolutely has the power to request the president’s tax returns and returns of his businesses.

    The Internal Revenue Code contains a lengthy section that generally protects the confidentiality of tax returns/return information and prohibits their disclosure by government employees. The provision Rep. Neal is using is a specific statutory exception from that disclosure prohibition. That exception says that the secretary of the Treasury (or his delegate) “shall furnish” the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee with any tax return or return information requested in writing.

    Note that this does not entail public disclosure of the returns — under this exception, any return or return information that identifies a particular taxpayer must be provided to the “committee only when sitting in closed executive session” unless the taxpayer in question consents in writing.

    Rep. Neal made a written request, as the statute requires. The statute itself does not say that a justification for the request is necessary. However, Rep. Neal also included in his letter a statement that the House Ways and Means “Committee is considering legislative proposals and conducting oversight related to our Federal tax laws, including, but not limited to, the extent to which the IRS audits and enforces the Federal tax laws against a President.” This is a legitimate concern, as the history of former President Nixon’s initially lenient IRS audit illustrates.

    Rep. Neal’s letter requests returns and return information for a six-year period beginning in 2013. Several of these years precede President Trump’s presidency. However, those tax returns may have been under IRS audit after President Trump was elected or took office. And regardless, in determining “the extent to which the IRS audits and enforces the Federal tax laws against a President,” it should be helpful to compare the period before and during President Trump’s presidency.

    Rep. Neal’s letter was addressed to the commissioner of the IRS. It is not up to President Trump to respond. If the IRS and Treasury do not turn over the requested returns and return information to Rep. Neal, presumably Rep. Neal will sue for enforcement of the statute.

    Philip Hackney, law professor, University of Pittsburgh

    The statute provides that if the Ways and Means Committee chairman makes a written request, “the Secretary shall furnish such committee with any return or return information specified.” Chairman Neal made a written request specifying certain returns of President Trump. The IRS has an obligation to turn over the returns. Congress made tax returns private by statute but provided commonsense exceptions such as allowing a state agency a path to access returns when need is shown. It also made an exception for specific committees of Congress without regard to any need. It is appropriately using that exception in this instance.

    Trump attorneys suggest the request emanates from impermissible animus and is therefore constitutionally suspect. They suggest Congress must have a legislative need and that this is lacking. While Congress could surely not use the authority in a way that would discriminate on the basis of race, there is no showing of any such discrimination here.

    But if the Treasury Department refuses to hand over the returns, the chairman might consider holding the commissioner of the IRS and perhaps the secretary of the Treasury in contempt of Congress. The committee might then file a declaratory judgment asking the DC District Court to hold those officers in contempt and provide an injunction ordering them to comply with the law.

    Though the law seems clear, it’s hard to know what will happen. Strikes me [that] the worst outcome would be for the Supreme Court to find the matter a political question, and in effect allow the executive to flout the law to protect himself.

    Francine Lipman, law professor, University of Nevada Las Vegas

    Congress has enacted specific laws regarding the confidentiality of tax returns and related information. The general rule is that these materials are confidential and cannot be disclosed. This sweeping protection should give all tax return-filing individuals comfort that their tax returns and related information are protected from disclosure under federal law.

    However, like most general rules, there are exceptions that are necessary for the administration of federal (and state) tax systems as well as for other critical issues, most notably criminal matters.

    One of several exceptions is that upon written request from the chairperson of the House Ways and Means Committee, the Senate Finance Committee, or the Joint Committee on Taxation, the secretary of the Treasury “shall” provide any requested returns or return information. The one stated qualifier to this release is that if the tax return or related information directly or indirectly identifies a taxpayer, then the secretary “shall” provide the materials in a closed executive session (unless the taxpayer consents to the disclosure).

    Thus, under federal law, Rep. Richard Neal or Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) — chair of the Senate Finance Committee — can make a written request for the president’s tax returns and return information and Steven Mnuchin, secretary of the Treasury, “shall” provide them, albeit in a closed executive session.

    If the secretary of the Treasury does not provide the materials requested in accordance with federal law, the issue will likely be decided by a US district court. This would be a case of first impression, and eventually, the court most likely will decide that the tax returns and return information “shall” be released. However, litigation over this matter certainly will delay this much-anticipated release.

    George Yin, law professor, University of Virginia

    Chairman Neal’s request is on firm legal ground. A law enacted in 1924 authorizes him to request anyone’s tax return information and provides that the secretary of the Treasury “shall furnish” the information requested. It doesn’t contain any basis for the secretary to refuse.

    The background behind the law supports this broad interpretation of Congress’s authority. Prior to 1924, the president had the sole and unconditional right to obtain and disclose anyone’s tax return information. Congress was frustrated by this law because its investigations of executive branch officials and agencies (including the tax agency) required examination of tax return information. Since only the president could release the information, Congress actually had to seek permission from the president to carry out investigations of the executive branch. Congress decided that as a co-equal branch of government, it had to have the same access to tax information as the president at the time.

    If there is a refusal and the matter ends up in court, the disagreement may be resolved based on whether the request furthers a constitutional responsibility of Congress. Neal’s request identified Congress’s two main responsibilities — its lawmaking and oversight functions.

    Rebecca Kysar, law professor, Fordham University

    The House Ways and Means Committee’s request to obtain the president’s tax returns falls squarely within its oversight and legislative authority, and Treasury Secretary Mnuchin has no basis to refuse the request.

    The chairman of the Committee, Rep. Neal, is relying upon Section 6103(f), which entitles Congress’s tax committees to obtain any tax return or other tax information, including IRS audit work files. Under Section 6103(f), the Treasury secretary “shall furnish” these documents upon written request from the committee, denying any exercise of discretion from the secretary.

    Even if Section 6103 were not on the books, Congress’s inherent legislative powers under Article I of the Constitution would support this request. Courts have ruled that Congress can investigate issues to aid in its consideration of legislation, administration of existing laws, and general oversight authority. To be sure, these powers are limited somewhat: Congress can only investigate matters on which it has power to oversee, legislate, or fulfill some other legislative function. Since all of Congress’s actions need to be within its constitutional authority, this general constitutional limitation on Congress’s investigatory powers likely extends to 6103(f) investigations.

    But here, there are clear legislative purposes that Neal is seeking to fulfill in making the request. In his letter to the IRS commissioner, Neal predominantly grounds his request in oversight authority of the IRS, assessing whether the agency is fulfilling its duty to enforce the laws fairly against President Trump and whether to revise the laws relating to presidential tax duties.

    Trump’s lawyer has already argued that Neal’s stated reasons are politically motivated. He points to the fact that Neal has not asked for the returns of prior presidents. Yet the committee could reasonably base the need for new legislation on presidential audits on the experience of one president alone, especially one whose possible tax improprieties have already been publicized.

    Additionally, Trump’s sprawling business empire presents unprecedented and unforeseen challenges to the audit process that now may justify statutory revisions for similar situations in the future. Trump also claimed to be under audit when he took office, and Congress can legitimately seek to determine how the agency pursued those audits after he took office.

    Ari Glogower, law professor, Ohio State University

    Rep. Richard Neal’s request from the IRS of President Trump’s tax returns and related information is a lawful exercise of the House Committee on Ways and Means’ investigative authority.

    In his letter to Treasury objecting to the request, President Trump’s lawyer William S. Consovoy cited the 1957 case of Watkins v. US, which considered intrusive investigations by the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in a prior era.

    Watkins is not helpful for President Trump. The case contemplates even broader congressional investigative power than Rep. Neal needs to justify his request. And unlike the HUAC in Watkins, Ways and Means is acting with a legitimate congressional purpose and within its clear jurisdictional authority. This purpose may include investigating whether we need new laws to ensure that the IRS enforces the president’s obligations to pay taxes.

    Section 6103(f) of the Internal Revenue Code in turn provides a formal procedure for Congress to exercise this constitutional authority and removes these requests from the shield of tax return privacy.

    Of course, this process would have unfolded differently if President Trump had followed his predecessors and voluntarily released his returns. Different justifications explain Rep. Neal’s legal request and the voluntary disclosure norm for presidential nominees. It could be, however, that Rep. Neal’s legal reasons to request this information overlap with the reasons President Trump would prefer to keep it private.

    Ilya Somin, law professor, George Mason University

    Congressional Democrats have good reason to seek the disclosure of President Trump’s tax returns. For decades, previous presidents disclosed voluntarily in order to allow Congress and the public to scrutinize them for evidence of possible wrongdoing and conflicts of interest. Trump’s worldwide network of business interests gives rise to unusually severe risks in the latter regard.

    But the law the Democrats are relying on has the potential for serious abuses of power.

    The Democrats may be on sound legal ground in using a 1924 law requiring the IRS to disclose any tax return upon the “written request” of the chair of one of several congressional committees. But the very existence of that law is frightening. Congress could potentially start using it to go after other people — including private citizens and political activists who cross one of the major political parties, or influential members of the relevant congressional committees. The law may have been largely moribund for years. But the current controversy could change that. Norms against its abuse can easily fray, just as other political norms have.

    The law only allows the committee to consider the returns in “closed executive session,” if the information within could identify the taxpayer. But, as David French points out, it is not difficult for Congress to circumvent this rule by using leaks. It could also pressure the IRS to audit the individuals in question.

    A high percentage of Americans who pay income taxes have likely violated hyper-complicated federal tax laws at some point or other. The threat of subjecting tax returns to detailed congressional or IRS scrutiny could well deter many from engaging in speech or political activism that might attract the ire of Congress.

    Ciara Torres-Spelliscy, law professor, Stetson University

    The question of whether the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee can lawfully request President Trump’s tax returns from the IRS turns on a history lesson of the Teapot Dome scandal and its aftermath. The Teapot Dome scandal involved the leasing of oil fields by Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall and alleged bribery under the Harding administration in the 1920s.

    The Teapot Dome scandal inspired a few federal reforms which are relevant to today’s events with the Trump administration. One of the reforms Congress passed in response to the scandal was the Federal Corrupt Practices Act of 1925, which expanded federal campaign finance disclosure requirements and included expenditure caps for congressional candidates. Another reform was the Revenue Act of 1924, which provided the ability of chair of the House Ways and Means and the chair of the Senate Finance Committee to demand tax returns from the IRS.

    So what can we learn from this history? First, campaign finance reforms are one way that Congress can respond to restore faith in the government after a corruption scandal. Second, the Supreme Court has recognized Congress’s power to compel testimony so that it can do its job of informed legislating. And third, the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee is well within his statutory rights today under the Revenue Act of 1924 to get his hands on the president’s tax returns as well as the tax returns of his businesses.

    To prevent such skullduggery, the law should be changed to require disclosure of the tax returns of presidents and perhaps other high officials, but deny Congress the power to scrutinize all tax returns at will.

    Boeing announced Tuesday that deliveries and new orders for all of its 737 jets fell in the first quarter.

    The plane maker has halted deliveries of the 737 Max, the latest model of the popular narrow-body jet, after faulty data feeding into the aircraft’s automated flight system was implicated in two fatal crashes that killed all 346 people aboard the flights. Boeing announced Friday that it’s cutting production by 20 percent as it tries to find a software fix to get the planes flying again. They’ve been grounded since the second crash in mid-March.

    Deliveries of its 737s tumbled to 89 during the first three months of the year, a dip from 132 during the same period last year. Total orders for 737s, the majority of which were for the newer Max model, fell to 95 in the first quarter, a drop from 180 a year earlier. There were no new 737 Max orders in March.

      U.S. Readies Another $11 Billion in Tariffs on E.U. – The New York Times
      U.S. Readies Another $11 Billion in Tariffs on E.U. – The New York Times

      The announcement on Monday stems from a separate dispute that began in 2004 related to government subsidies that Europe provides to Airbus, which is a rival to America’s Boeing.

      Last May, the World Trade Organization found that Airbus had received illegal funding for several of its models. The United States requested the authority to impose retaliatory tariffs of $11.2 billion per year, and the two sides are awaiting a decision on the level of tariffs that America will be authorized to levy on the European Union.

      In preparation for that decision, which is expected this summer, the United States announced Monday night that it was beginning to identify a list of European products to tax, so it could impose the duties as soon as the organization makes a ruling. The initial list of American levies would cover $11 billion of trade in products including airplanes, cheese, fish, wine, clothing, nails, pipes and clocks — the same dollar amount of harm that the United States Trade Representative estimates European subsidies cause each year.

      “This case has been in litigation for 14 years, and the time has come for action,” Robert Lighthizer, the United States Trade Representative, said in a statement.

      “Our ultimate goal is to reach an agreement with the E.U. to end all W.T.O.-inconsistent subsidies to large civil aircraft,” Mr. Lighthizer said. “When the E.U. ends these harmful subsidies, the additional U.S. duties imposed in response can be lifted.”

      Romney’s no hypocrite on Trump’s taxes – Washington Examiner
      Romney’s no hypocrite on Trump’s taxes – Washington Examiner

      With Russia collusion claims all but off the table as an impeachable offense against President Trump, Democrats have moved on to the next shiny thing. Even then, it’s nothing new. They have begun to chase his ever-elusive tax returns.

      In seeking the highest office of the free world, Trump ought to have released his tax returns in 2016, and he ought to do so again in 2020. No one buys his equivocation over auditing, and in a vacuum and an election against someone who’s not Hillary Clinton, voters by default may have supremely cared whether a megalomaniac billionaire spent decades gaming the American tax code.

      But to say that the president should do something discretely differs from saying that Congress should make him do it with legislation. It’s a distinction lost on some members of media and the commentariat who are now going after Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, for denouncing as “moronic” Democratic demands that the IRS turn over Trump’s tax returns to the House Ways and Means Committee.

      This is actually really simple. The following three things can all be true.

      First, Trump’s refusal to reveal his tax returns not only defies important norms but also implies he’s guilty of something, and that should perhaps give voters pause.

      Second, Romney has solidly opposed Trump on legal matters — voting, for example, to overturn his national emergency declaration.

      Third, Democrats’ demand that the IRS release Trump’s tax returns may very well violate existing law and precedent, preventing Congress from investigating individuals with no legislative purpose.

      For what it’s worth, Trump’s legal defense is fairly strong. Although Congress has the theoretical authority to demand tax returns from the Treasury without a rationale, Congress likely lacks the constitutional authority to acquire returns without legislative purpose, as the Supreme Court ruled in Watkins v. United States. Chief Justice Earl Warren wrote that “there is no congressional power to expose for the sake of exposure,” and unless Democrats can offer a stronger reason than “Orange Man Bad,” demands for his tax returns merely play politics with the law.

      Romney’s no hypocrite for recognizing a difference between the law and presidential norms. Every president since Richard Nixon has released his tax returns, and Trump’s refusal to do the same demonstrates a certain lack of care for accountability and transparency. But Congress probably can’t do anything about it, and Romney’s right to call out Democrats for attempting to bring back McCarthyite tactics just to score a cheap political win over the president.

      Arrests made in connection with kidnapping of American tourist, police say – ABC News
      Arrests made in connection with kidnapping of American tourist, police say – ABC News

      At least eight arrests have been made in connection with the kidnapping of an American tourist and her safari guide in Uganda’s most popular national park, ABC News has learned.

      Uganda Police Force spokesperson Fred Enanga announced at a press conference Tuesday that “some arrests of suspects” were made in Kanungu district, which encompasses the southwestern section of the sprawling Queen Elizabeth National Park where U.S. citizen Kimberly Sue Endicott and Congolese national Jean-Paul Mirenge Remezo were abducted at gunpoint while on a safari.

      A senior commander of the Uganda Police Force told ABC News eight people were arrested in Kanungu district on Monday and authorities are searching for more suspects in the area and nearby districts, as well as on the other side of the country’s western border, into the neighboring Democratic Republic of the Congo.

      “We have an intelligence-led operation, which was calculated and tactical in the early stages, and is now progressing unhindered, with raids and extensive searches,” Enanga told reporters at Tuesday’s press conference.

      (Newton Nabwaya/Reuters) Uganda’s police spokesperson Fred Enanga addresses the media on the rescue of American tourist Kimberley Sue Endecott, who was abducted by gunmen in Queen Elizabeth National Park, at the police headquarters in Kampala, Uganda, April 8, 2019.

      Remezo, a senior guide for safari tour operator Wild Frontiers Uganda, was leading Endicott and a Canadian couple on an evening game drive in the park’s southern Ishasha section on April 2 when they were allegedly ambushed by four gunmen in military uniforms. The gunmen apparently held the group at gunpoint before snatching the keys to their safari vehicle and fleeing with Remezo and Endicott, according to police.

      The Canadian tourists, identified by Wild Frontiers Uganda as Martin and Barbel Jurrius, were left behind and contacted the camp manager, who brought them back safely to the wilderness compound, police said.

      The kidnappers used one of the victim’s mobile phones to demand a $500,000 ransom, which police said they believe was the motive behind the abduction.

      After a days-long search operation by Ugandan police, armed forces and wildlife authorities, Endicott and Remezo were “rescued” unharmed from the neighboring Democratic Republic of the Congo and brought back to Uganda on Sunday evening.

      But their captors “escaped,” and the operation to track them down continues, according to Ugandan government spokesperson Ofwono Opondo.

      Ugandan police said they are working in close coordination with their Congolese counterparts.

      Endicott and Remezo were freed in a “negotiated handover, conducted between the Ugandan and U.S. authorities,” according to a press statement from Wild Frontiers Uganda, which has been operating safaris in the East African nation since 1996.

      “We have provided as much assistance as possible to the authorities and will now continue to provide support to both Kimberly and our guide Jean-Paul as they work toward returning to their homes and families,” the company said in the Monday statement. “We also are working with the investigating authorities to ascertain precisely what happened and how this can be prevented in the future.”

      Uganda Police Force spokesperson Fred Enanga said at a Monday press conference that he did not believe a ransom was paid. However, a Wild Frontiers Uganda spokesperson told ABC News a ransom was paid. It was unclear who paid or how much was given.

      Endicott was seen Monday morning being transported by helicopter to Uganda’s capital, Kampala, where police said she was handed over to the U.S. ambassador at the American embassy. It was unclear exactly when Endicott would return home to Southern California.

      A spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State told ABC News on Sunday, “We are aware of reports that a U.S. citizen hostage was recovered on April 7 by Ugandan security officials. Privacy considerations prevent us from commenting further at this time.”

      ABC News’ Nicky de Blois, Moses Bwayo, Conor Finnegan, Josh Margolin, James Meek and Sohel Uddin contributed to this report.
