A redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian election meddling is expected to be released to the public Thursday after a nearly two-year investigation that concluded when the findings were submitted March 22 to the Justice Department. But the fight over the probe isn’t likely to end there.

President Donald Trump has continued to rail on the investigation as a “witch hunt,” despite claiming that the report had exonerated him. House Democrats recently launched a sweeping corruption probe involving dozens of Trump’s associates, and Democrats are gearing up for a fight with Attorney General William Barr over the report’s release.

The Justice Department announced on the eve of the report’s expected release that Barr will hold a news conference at 9:30 a.m. ET Thursday. He will be accompanied by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

Here is a look at how the battle over the Mueller probe got to this point – and what comes next.

How we got here

The nearly 400-page report is the product of a secretive probe that included 19 lawyers and 40 investigators who interviewed hundreds of witnesses, executed nearly 500 search warrants and issued 2,800 subpoenas.

All told, criminal charges were lodged against 35 people and entities, including former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, the president’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen and former national security advisor Michael Flynn.

The investigation into Russia’s influence on the 2016 campaign has been a political lightning rod since its inception. The steady stream of bombshell reporting about the probe and its offshoots have given rise to a cottage industry of books, podcasts, entertainment and even merchandise often centered around Mueller himself.

It has remained on the front burner of American politics thanks in no small part to Trump, who quickly assumed the role as the probe’s critic-in-chief. The president has alleged, often on Twitter, that the probe was at best a politically motivated “witch hunt” to damage his presidency, and at worst a “deep-state” conspiracy led by Mueller and his “band of Angry Democrats” to try and remove Trump from office.

The White House had no comment in advance of the report’s expected release.

All the while, Trump himself was being investigated by Mueller’s team for possibly obstructing justice. Trump had fired former FBI Director James Comey in May 2017, a move that sent shockwaves through Washington and raised the question of whether the president had attempted to block or interfere with an investigation that involved his own presidential campaign.

Later that month, Rosenstein appointed Mueller to investigate Russia’s election meddling as special counsel, along with “any matters that arose or may arise directly from that investigation.”

The FBI counterintelligence investigation into figures in Trump’s orbit had been underway before the November 2016 election, in which Trump defeated his Democratic rival, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Comey, who oversaw the FBI investigation before his firing and Mueller’s appointment, testified before Congress behind closed doors in December that that probe originated with four Americans related to Trump during the election who were connected in some way “to the Russian interference effort.”

The underlying basis for the FBI’s action, Comey testified, was a tip about claims made by George Papadopoulos, a foreign policy advisor who joined Trump’s campaign in March 2016.

Papadopoulos, 31, had met in London with professor Joseph Mifsud, who had ties to Russia. In late April 2016, Mifsud told Papadopoulos that Russians had “dirt” on Clinton, including “thousands of emails,” according to the special counsel’s court filings.

A month later, The New York Times reported, Papadopoulos shared the details of that meeting with Australian diplomat Alexander Downer. The diplomat’s tip to the FBI about Papadopoulos’ remarks sparked the FBI’s Trump-Russia probe, the Times reported. Papadopoulos served 12 days in prison after pleading guilty to charges lodged by Mueller. His lawyers have asked Trump for a pardon.

Barr’s letter

Democrats and Republicans alike have clamored to see the final conclusions from the highly guarded investigation.

But like the probe itself, the process of preparing the report for its public rollout has been the subject of intense scrutiny and controversy on Capitol Hill.

Less than two days after receiving the lengthy report, Barr summarized what he said were its main conclusions in a four-page letter to congressional Judiciary Committee leaders.

Barr shared two main conclusions from Mueller’s probe, both of which were celebrated by Trump.

The special counsel did not establish conspiracy or coordination between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin, Barr wrote, quoting an excerpt from the report itself.

On the question obstruction, Barr quoted Mueller saying the report “does not conclude that the President committed a crime, [but] it also does not exonerate him.”

Mueller’s lack of a definitive stance on obstruction left the final decision to Barr and Rosenstein. They concluded: “The evidence developed during the special counsel’s investigation is not sufficient to establish that the president committed an obstruction of justice offense.”

Both sides of the political aisle were quick to respond that evening.

“No Collusion, No Obstruction, Complete and Total EXONERATION,” Trump tweeted, even though he was not exonerated by Mueller.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., immediately went after Barr’s credibility, saying in a statement that the attorney general “is not a neutral observer and is not in a position to make objective determinations about the report.”

Some Democrats had voiced concerns that Barr may have pre-judged the Mueller probe in light of an unsolicited memo he sent to the Justice Department last June criticizing the Mueller probe’s obstruction inquiry as “fatally misconceived.”

In addition, reports from The New York Times and Washington Post citing several members of Mueller’s team poured gasoline on the firestorm of controversy following Barr’s summary. The team members, speaking on the condition of anonymity, reportedly said that the evidence that Trump tried to obstruct the probe is stronger than Barr has publicly suggested.

Barr holds the ultimate authority on the report’s release. He gained oversight responsibilities from Rosenstein, who himself adopted those duties after former DOJ head Jeff Sessions recused himself from any investigations into Russian election meddling.

While Barr has vowed to be as transparent as possible in the handling and release of the report, he has made clear that both Congress and the public will see a version of the report that contains redactions in four areas. The attorney general said the redactions will be color-coded, so that readers can better understand why certain information was hidden.

That material includes information about intelligence sources and methods, details of ongoing investigations and other information that would “unduly infringe on the personal privacy and reputational interests of peripheral third parties.”

But the most controversial redaction category involves the DOJ’s insistence that information related to Mueller’s grand jury cannot be released under federal law. Democratic lawmakers, led by House Judiciary Chairman Jerrold Nadler of New York, have pushed back on that argument, claiming Barr could share that information with Congress if he wanted to.

What to look for in the report

The special counsel delivered the report to the Justice Department on March 22, bringing the probe to its official conclusion. Still, a handful of cooperating witnesses and criminal cases lodged by the probe remain active, even as Mueller’s team members have taken on other jobs.

The Times reported that Mueller’s team had prepared and provided several summaries of their own to Barr, which the attorney general opted not to use.

“I decided that none of it was releasable the way I received it,” Barr testified before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee last Wednesday. It’s unclear if those summaries will be included in the release of the redacted report. The attorney general said he would give the redacted report to both Congress and the public.

One thing not to expect: any new indictments or criminal charges. “The report does not recommend any further indictments, nor did the special counsel obtain any sealed indictments that have yet to be made public,” Barr wrote in his March 24 letter.

Barr said the report is “nearly 400 pages” in length — but that may not include footnotes, citations, raw evidence exhibits and other information. Democrats want Barr to give them all of it.

Of course, the leaders of both parties are expected to comment on the report shortly after it’s made public, including the president.

“I’d expect” that Trump will speak out after the report is released, White House senior advisor Kellyanne Conway said in a Fox News interview.

“In those 400 pages, we know what does not exist and it’s collusion,” Conway added.

What’s next

Barr has already offered to testify before the House and Senate about the Mueller report on May 1 and 2, when lawmakers are likely to barrage him with questions.

Those questions may not just pertain to Mueller’s findings, however. Barr revealed last week that the DOJ under his leadership will investigate the origins of the Russia probe — an area where Trump and Republicans have long claimed illegal acts may have occurred.

I think spying on a political campaign is a big deal,” Barr testified. “I’m not suggesting that those rules were violated, but I think it’s important to look at that. And I’m not talking about the FBI, necessarily, but intelligence agencies more broadly.”

The attorney general plans to pull together and assess the information already gathered from a handful of existing probes about the beginnings of the Trump-Russia investigation.

Pressed on the subject, Barr said: “I think spying did occur.”

Meanwhile, Democrats are likely to continue to call for Barr to share an unredacted version of the report with Congress — a demand that may intensify depending on how prevalent those redactions turn out to be.

Congressional ethics and investigations attorney Andrew Herman told CNBC that “At the end of the day, Congress oversees the Department of Justice.”

“I’m an Article 1 [of the U.S. Constitution] person regardless of who’s in office,” Herman added. “I just think it’s very tenuous for justice to say, ‘We can have this stuff and you can’t.'”

Source Article from https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/18/politics/mueller-report-donald-trump-controversial-tape-moscow/index.html

Donald Trump lies all the time, and his administration officials often end up lying on this behalf.

We know this. We’ve known this since the day after his inauguration, when then-press secretary Sean Spicer gave an angry press conference insisting that Trump had record crowds to watch him get sworn in.

But it’s striking that the Mueller report — in which Spicer and his successor, Sarah Sanders, are peripheral figures at best — still manages to incidentally document at least seven instances of Trump’s press secretaries lying, four of them in the 24 hours after Trump summarily fired FBI Director James Comey on May 9, 2017.

These aren’t all the times that special counsel Robert Mueller’s report proves that Trump administration officials were lying, or even all the times it shows Sanders and Spicer were lying. It is limited to the cases in which the lie is noted in the report, as well as the truth it ended up obscuring.

If the Mueller report is a testimony to just how big the difference is between “unequivocally a crime” and “an okay thing to do” — and arguably it is — having your press people lie routinely and without apparent regret about important things is a pretty representative motif. No one would argue that what Spicer or Sanders are documented doing here is criminally chargeable, but it’s still bad for democracy.

Spicer lied about who made the decision to fire Michael Flynn

As presented in the Mueller report, the decision that National Security Adviser Michael Flynn needed to go — as evidence began to pile up that he’d lied to Trump officials and maybe to the FBI about conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak about sanctions prior to Trump’s inauguration — was made on February 9, 2017 by then-White House Counsel Don McGahn and then-White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus. “McGahn and Priebus concluded that Flynn should be terminated,” the report says, “and recommended that course of action to the President.”

It doesn’t tell us how Trump responded, though Trump did have at least one conversation with Flynn on February 12 that did not involve firing him. When Preibus finally ordered Flynn to resign, the president warmly wished him goodbye: “Priebus recalled that the President hugged Flynn, shook his hand, and said, ‘We’ll give you a good recommendation. You’re a good guy. We’ll take care of you.’”

But Sean Spicer, in a press briefing the next day, portrayed the decision as one that Trump himself made — because he no longer trusted Flynn: “a level of trust between the President and General Flynn had eroded to the point where he felt he had to make a change.”

The report makes clear that this was a lie. Flynn called White House adviser Jared Kushner after the press conference, upset about how Spicer had described the situation. Kushner, in the room with the president, reassured Flynn that Trump respected and cared about him — and promised a positive tweet about Flynn later (with Trump’s assent).

Flynn had every reason to be upset. He knew that the account Spicer had given simply wasn’t true. Trump’s continued defenses of Flynn and efforts to be in touch with him strongly suggested what the Mueller report proves: Spicer and others drafted a post-hoc fiction to absolve Trump of any suspicion about his judgment in hiring Flynn.

Sanders (probably) lied about whether Trump asked Comey for his loyalty

Shortly after Flynn was fired, Trump had a one-on-one dinner with then-FBI Director James Comey. Comey, in a memo he wrote immediately after the dinner and before both the special counsel’s investigators and Congress — in other words, under penalty of perjury —said that Trump told him, “I need loyalty, I expect loyalty.”

When Comey’s recollection of the dinner became public (in advance of his testimony before a Senate committee in June 2017), Trump denied any such statement, and so did his press team. Sarah Sanders told the New York Times that Trump “would never even suggest the expectation of personal loyalty.”

The Mueller report doesn’t prove that Trump and Sanders were lying about the loyalty request — though it does note that Trump lied about inviting Comey to dinner (Trump claimed Comey asked for the meeting, but the president’s schedule shows he initiated the invitation). But the report makes it clear which account it finds credible: “Comey’s memory of the details of the dinner, including that the President requested loyalty, has remained consistent throughout.”

Furthermore, in a footnote, the report reveals that Trump wasn’t exactly as averse to the idea of asking for loyalty as Sanders portrayed him. It summarizes a private conversation with Sean Spicer: Trump “stated that he had never asked for Comey’s loyalty, but added that if he had asked for loyalty, ‘Who cares?’”

Spicer lied about who decided to fire Comey

In the 24 hours after Comey was abruptly fired as head of the FBI, Spicer and Sanders lied about the circumstances of that firing in four distinct ways.

The first, and most blatant, was Spicer’s initial spin on the firing: that Donald Trump had had no involvement in getting James Comey fired.

Here’s how the Comey firing was planned, according to the Mueller report:

  • On May 5, 2017, Trump decided to fire Comey and dictated a letter of dismissal.
  • Trump kept revising with Stephen Miller over the weekend (though in every draft, he started the letter by mentioning that Comey told him he wasn’t under investigation).
  • On May 8, 2017, Trump met with other senior advisers and presented Comey’s firing as a fait accompli: per the report, Trump “conveyed that the decision had been made and was not up for discussion.”
  • McGahn suggested involving then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions and deputy Rod Rosenstein, who were already scheduled for a meeting with Trump later that day.
  • McGahn and other officials told Sessions and Rosenstein about the plan at noon.
  • Trump ordered Rosenstein to draft a memo expressing Rosenstein’s own concerns about Comey — but tried to get the Russia investigation into it.
  • Ultimately, the White House team decided that Trump’s original letter would “[n]ot [see the] light of day,” and that the team provide “no other rationales” for firing Comey beyond what Sessions and Rosenstein wrote.

Here’s what Sean Spicer said about the Comey firing to reporters in the infamous “lurking in the bushes” press conference the night Comey was fired:

  • “It was all [Rosenstein]. No one from the White House. It was a DOJ decision.”

Sanders lied about when Trump decided to fire James Comey

By the morning of May 10, the White House had abandoned the lie that Trump hadn’t made the decision to fire Comey. But they weren’t yet willing to jettison the post-hoc justification for Comey’s firing that Sessions and Rosenstein provided. In a press conference that day, Sarah Sanders said on multiple occasions that Trump didn’t make his final decision until after receiving Rosenstein’s memo the day before laying out the case against Comey — which focused on Comey’s handling of the Hillary Clinton investigation in 2016 and didn’t mention the Russia investigation.

It was obvious at the time that Sanders wasn’t telling the truth. One reporter pointed out that Rosenstein’s memo said that Comey had been too harsh on Clinton, while Trump had said Clinton should have been treated more harshly. (Sanders tried to claim that Trump had a different position as a candidate than he did as a president.)

But the Mueller report is pretty definitive that the decision to fire Comey was made before Sessions and Rosenstein were ever informed. It cites five different officials who describe Trump as being certain Comey should be fired as of the meeting on the morning of May 8; White House adviser Stephen Miller told investigators that Trump started the meeting with, “I’m going to read you a letter. Don’t talk me out of this. I’ve made my decision.”

Sanders lied about Sessions and Rosenstein’s involvement in the Comey firing

Buttressing Sanders’s lie about the Comey firing was a lie about why Sessions and Rosenstein had been involved in the process: “They had come to him to express their concerns,” she told the press the next day.

That’s simply not true. Sessions and Rosenstein had both had concerns with Comey, but the report makes it perfectly clear that their involvement in the process was initiated by the White House on Monday morning. “McGahn said previously scheduled meetings with Sessions and Rosenstein that day would be an opportunity to find out what they thought about firing Comey,” the report notes. After McGahn and other advisers held that meeting, they scheduled an Oval Office meeting for Sessions and Rosenstein to discuss Comey with Trump.

What’s especially important to note is that by the time Sanders gave this press conference, Sessions and Rosenstein had already told the White House that they felt they were being used. Sessions told McGahn’s office on Tuesday night that “Rosenstein was upset that his memorandum was being portrayed as the reason for Comey’s termination,” the report says, while Rosenstein told Trump himself that “if the press asked him, he would tell the truth that Comey’s firing was not his idea.” But Sanders went out the next day and portrayed them as advisers who’d brought independent concerns to Trump before Trump made his final decision.

Sanders lied about “countless” FBI agents losing faith in Comey

Of all the lies, this is the one that Sanders herself admitted was a lie to Mueller: the claim, expressed both in the May 10 press conference and in other interviews, that she had heard from “countless” members of the FBI who did not support Comey and were glad he was fired.

This too was a suspicious claim at the time, since contemporaneous reporting portrayed the FBI as being in mourning over Comey’s ouster. But the Mueller report discloses that Sanders didn’t have any backing for the claim at all:

Sanders told this Office that her reference to hearing from “countless members of the FBI” was a “slip of the tongue.” She also recalled that her statement in a separate press interview that rank-and-file FBI agents had lost confidence in Comey was a comment she made ”in the heat of the moment” that was not founded on anything.

Of course, these too appear to be lies — or at least flimsy excuses. Sanders is saying that a statement she made several times just during the May 10 presser was a “slip of the tongue,” and that its use again in a different interview was “in the heat of the moment.” Sanders’s statements to the special counsel’s investigators portray her as someone with too little self-control to be an effective messenger; the much more likely answer is that she was simply lying, and knew it, and kept doing it.

Sanders lied about Trump dictating the statement about the Trump Tower meeting

In July 2017, the Trump administration was contacted by the New York Times about a meeting that Trump campaign officials including Donald Trump Jr. had had with Kremlin-connected lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya in the summer of 2016.

Trump worked on a statement with adviser Hope Hicks, in which he worked to portray the meeting as entirely about US adoption law. He knew at the time this wasn’t true; he knew about the email exchange that had preceded the meeting, in which Trump Jr had expressed excitement over the idea of getting dirt on Clinton.

A few days later, though, the emails themselves were public (posted by Trump Jr. on Twitter) and the press was reporting that Trump had worked on the initial statement — a statement which now appeared to be an attempt at misdirection. Here was Sanders’s response:

“After consulting with the President on the issue,” the report says, “White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders told the media that the President ‘certainly didn’t dictate’ the statement, but that ‘he weighed in, offered suggestions like any father would do.’“

Trump had, of course, dictated a statement. And his lawyers ultimately admitted as much in a “private communication” to Mueller’s team, saying that “the President dictated a short but accurate response to the New York Times article on behalf of his son, Donald Trump, Jr.”

That isn’t quite true, either — Trump’s suggested statement would not have been accurate, and it was additions by Trump Jr. and Hicks that made it only deeply misleading. But that, too, proves something: that there were people in Trump’s orbit who were capable of mitigating the president’s temptation to lie all the time. Those people just weren’t the ones in charge of talking to the press.

April 18 at 11:30 AM

Boeing’s chief executive said the company is making “steady progress” toward the certification of a software update required to lift a worldwide grounding of its 737 Max jets.

CEO Dennis Muilenburg said in a video that Boeing completed an engineering test flight Tuesday using updated software. Investigators have concluded that the anti-stalling feature — the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System — was activated in the final minutes of a doomed Ethiopian Airlines flight last month. MCAS also is thought to have played a role in the October 2018 crash of a Boeing 737 Max in Indonesia. The crashes killed 346 passengers and crew members.

While investigators have yet to assign blame for either crash, Boeing has acknowledged that in both cases MCAS activated in response to faulty data from the planes’ external sensors. The FAA has concluded there were similarities between the two crashes, and is investigating “the possibility of a shared cause.”

A test flight with the updated software is a key step before a certification flight with the Federal Aviation Administration, Boeing said. Muilenburg said Boeing’s test pilots had completed 120 flights using the updated software, totaling more than 203 hours of airtime. Muilenburg said he himself was on board a test flight Wednesday.

“Safety is our responsibility,” Muilenburg said, standing on a tarmac in front of a Boeing plane. “We own it, and the work of our team will make the 737 Max one of the safest airplanes ever to fly.”

The engineering test flight had Boeing pilots flying the plane. The certification flight will have pilots from the FAA at the controls. Those FAA pilots will independently verify that the software update meets all safety regulations.

Still, even as Boeing says it is making progress, the software update has fallen behind an earlier timeline described last month by Boeing and the FAA schedule. The Ethiopia Airlines crash on March 10 triggered a worldwide grounding of 737 Max 8 and 9 jets and threw Boeing into one of its worst crises in its 102-year history. Although Boeing started planning a potential software update late last year, it didn’t publicly commit to changing the MCAS software until after the second 737 Max crash.

The FAA grounded the Max 8 and 9 on March 13 so authorities could investigate “the possibility of a shared cause” between the crashes in Ethiopia and Indonesia. Muilenburg has since acknowledged that MCAS — which pushes the nose of the aircraft down to avoid a stall — played a role in both crashes and directly apologized for the loss of life.

The software fix is supposed to prevent the system from overreacting to faulty data and include a new set of cockpit alerts to notify pilots to potentially dangerous situations. The update also entails a new pilot training course.

But those changes are behind schedule. The FAA initially said that the software fix would have to be completed “no later than April.” But Boeing’s full package of software and training changes were delayed.

Officials said that the timeline slipped in part because of a second software problem. Earlier this month, Boeing confirmed to The Washington Post that it had discovered a software issue unrelated to the MCAS system. The FAA has ordered Boeing to address software affecting flaps and other flight-control hardware.

Boeing, for its part, said the second issue was “relatively minor” and being addressed.

Meanwhile, airlines are warning passengers that the Boeing 737 Max jets will be grounded for some time. American Airlines has canceled all flights on the aircraft through Aug. 19. United Airlines said it was planning for cancellations through early July.

Mike Pompeo (R) travelled to Pyongyang four times last year

North Korea has demanded the removal of US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo from nuclear talks, accusing him of “talking nonsense” and being “reckless”.

A senior foreign ministry official said that further talks would be “lousy” if Mr Pompeo was involved, asking that he be replaced by someone “more careful”.

It comes after North Korea said it had tested a new “tactical guided weapon”.

The test is the first since a February summit in Hanoi between the countries’ leaders ended without an agreement.

Mr Pompeo visited North Korea four times last year – including for a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.

Why is Pompeo so controversial?

Last week, during a US Senate subcommittee hearing, Mr Pompeo was asked if he would agree with descriptions of Mr Kim as a “tyrant”, he then responded: “Sure, I’m sure I’ve said that.”

This was met with a strong reaction from North Korean foreign ministry official Kwon Jong-gun, who said that Mr Pompeo “spouted reckless remarks, hurting the dignity of our supreme leadership… to unveil his mean character”.

Mr Kwon also blamed Mr Pompeo for the abrupt ending to the Hanoi summit.

On Thursday, he said that if Mr Pompeo were to be involved in further talks, “the table will be lousy once again and the talks will become entangled”.

“Even in the case of possible resumption of dialogue with the US, I wish our dialogue counterpart would not be Pompeo but… [another] person who is more careful and mature in communicating with us,” Mr Kwon said, according to the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).

During discussions in Pyongyang in July, Mr Pompeo was condemned for his “gangster-like” insistence that the country move towards denuclearisation.

Testing a ‘new weapon’

State media has given few details on Thursday’s reported test of a new “tactical guided weapon”, but analysts say it is unlikely to be a return to the long-range missile tests seen as a threat to the US.

According to KCNA, the test was overseen by Mr Kim himself. It said the test was “conducted in various modes of firing at different targets”, which analysts believe means the weapon could be launched from land, sea or air.

It is unclear if the weapon was a missile, but most observers agree that it was probably a short-range weapon.

Last year, Mr Kim said he would stop nuclear testing and would no longer launch intercontinental ballistic missiles.

Nuclear activity appears to be continuing, however, and satellite images at North Korea’s main nuclear site last week showed movement, suggesting the country could be reprocessing radioactive material into bomb fuel.

The country claims it has developed a nuclear bomb small enough to fit on a long-range missile, as well as ballistic missiles that could potentially reach the mainland US.

‘Pressure? What Pressure?’

This launch was fairly low-key by North Korean standards. It doesn’t appear to be a long-range missile, nor was it a nuclear test.

This means Kim Jong-un can say he’s keeping his promise not to fire these weapons – while developing new ones.

Perhaps it’s not a direct challenge to Donald Trump. But it could be designed to provoke some thought in the White House and warn them of what could follow if a deal isn’t done soon.

The current thinking in Washington seems to be that as long as there’s no testing, and the sanctions remain in place, there’s no rush. The US also seems to be under the impression that it’s holding all the cards in this negotiation. This launch is a reminder that North Korea is continuing to create weapons despite facing tough economic sanctions.

Pyongyang appears to be shrugging and saying, pressure? What pressure?!

Let’s not forget that these launches send a message to the people of North Korea. There are reports that the state is facing food shortages. Kim Jong-un needs to rally his people and his resources. A show of military strength and a reminder that they face a common enemy will aid that cause.

The test may also ensure North Korea’s military capabilities remain near the top of Mr Trump’s intelligence briefings. As he heads into an election year, he won’t want to see headlines on a series of missile tests – a problem the US president claimed to have solved.

Where do the nuclear talks stand?

Very little has moved since the US and North Korean leaders walked out of talks in Hanoi – apart from rhetoric.

The North Korea and US summit in Vietnam in February ended without agreement

The US said talks broke down because North Korea wanted all sanctions lifted in exchange for scaling back its nuclear capacity, but Pyongyang disputes that.

In his most recent comments, Mr Kim urged Mr Trump to pursue a deal that was “mutually acceptable” but also spoke of his excellent ties with the US leader. Mr Trump responded by tweeting generous praise of Mr Kim and also welcomed the idea of another summit.

Earlier this week the State Department announced that Stephen Biegun, its special envoy for North Korea, was heading to Moscow for meetings “with Russian officials to discuss efforts to advance the final, fully verified” denuclearisation of North Korea.

It came as speculation of a possible future meeting between Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin intensified.

Vol. II, Page 3: Shortly after requesting Flynn’s resignation and speaking privately to Comey, the President sought to have Deputy National Security Advisor K.T. McFarland draft an internal letter stating that the President had not directed Flynn to discuss sanctions with Kislyak. McFarland declined because she did not know whether that was true, and a White House Counsel’s Office attorney thought that the request would look like a quid pro quo for an ambassadorship she had been offered.

Even the president’s closest advisers were reluctant to protect Mr. Trump because they could not be sure he was telling the truth.

Vol. I, Page 2: Like collusion, “coordination” does not have a settled definition in federal criminal law. We understood coordination to require an agreement—tacit or express—between the Trump Campaign and the Russian government on election interference. That requires more than the two parties taking actions that were informed by or responsive to the other’s actions or interests.

Mr. Trump likes to say there was “no collusion,” and Mr. Barr used that term again in his news conference on Thursday morning. But collusion is not a legal concept. In looking for evidence of a criminal conspiracy, Mr. Mueller said he was instead looking for whether there was evidence of “coordination” between the Trump campaign and Russia in its election interference activities. He decided that the evidence fell short of meeting that standard.

Vol. I, Page 10: The Office investigated several other events that have been publicly reported to involve potential Russia-related contacts. For example, the investigation established that interactions between Russian Ambassador Kislyak and Trump Campaign officials both at the candidate’s April 2016 foreign policy speech in Washington, D.C., and during the week of the Republican National Convention were brief, public, and non-substantive. And the investigation did not establish that one Campaign official’s efforts to dilute a portion of the Republican Party platform on providing assistance to Ukraine were undertaken at the behest of candidate Trump or Russia.

Reporters circled for months around rumors of meetings between members of the Trump campaign, including Jeff Sessions, then a senator, and Sergey Kislyak, the Russian ambassador at the time, at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington and elsewhere. There were also lingering questions about why a portion of the Republican Party platform about Ukraine had changed during summer 2016. People involved in each had publicly denied any untoward behavior, and Mr. Mueller appears to have confirmed that the meetings were “non-substantive.” His assessment of the platform change is more nuanced, but ultimately did not “establish” the platform change had been directed by Mr. Trump or Russia.

Vol. II, Page 7: Several features of the conduct we investigated distinguish it from typical obstruction-of-justice cases. First, the investigation concerned the President, and some of his actions, such as firing the FBI director, involved facially lawful acts within his Article II authority, which raises constitutional issues discussed below. At the same time, the President’s position as the head of the Executive Branch provided him with unique and powerful means of influencing official proceedings, subordinate officers, and potential witnesses—all of which is relevant to a potential obstruction-of-justice analysis.

Mr. Mueller is saying that Mr. Trump’s powers as president were tied in with the actions he took that could have constituted obstruction, like ousting James B. Comey as F.B.I. director. This made building a case more difficult because Mr. Trump had the authority as president to take many of the actions that were scrutinized.

Before the emails became public, the president edited a press statement for Trump Jr. by deleting a line that acknowledged that the meeting was with ‘an individual who [Trump Jr.] was told might have information helpful to the campaign’ and instead said only the meeting was about adoptions of Russian children. When the press asked questions about the president’s involvement in Trump Jr.’s statement, the president’s personal lawyer repeatedly denied the president had played any role.

This confirms a New York Times report in July 2017 that disclosed that the president had helped draft the misleading statement made by his son Donald Trump Jr. and pushed for a version that did not reveal the true nature of the meeting.

April 18 at 11:23 AM

The eventual reconstruction of Notre Dame is now a foregone conclusion. Within hours of the fire that destroyed much of the cathedral on Monday, donors pledged more than $1 billion to restore the Parisian icon to its former glory.

Even before the smoke had cleared, Luxury goods magnate Francois-Henri Pinault announced his family would donate 100 million euros ($112 million) to the effort. Not to remain on the sidelines, his rival Bernard Arnault — the chief executive of LVMH and the richest man in Europe — pledged twice that amount on Tuesday morning. The Bettencourt Meyers family, which controls L’Oreal, quickly matched that pledge. And Patrick Pouyanne, chief of executive of French oil giant Total, offered another $112 million.

Officials are still assessing the extent of the damage, so the cost of Notre Dame’s reconstruction remains unknown, but these and the many other donations coming in should pretty well cover it.

In the meantime, the cascade of cash that materialized overnight to save the cathedral has raised eyebrows in France, still in the throes of a crippling protest over rising social inequality and whose leader is regularly decried as the “president of the rich.”

“Of course, I find it nice, this solidarity,” said Ingrid Levavasseur, a leader of the yellow vest movement that has protested inequality in a series of often violent Saturday demonstrations since mid-November. The stream of donations essentially confirmed the movement’s broader social critique, Levavasseur said.

“If they can give tens of millions to rebuild Notre Dame, then they should stop telling us there is no money to help with the social emergency,” Philippe Martinez, head of the CGT trade union, said on Wednesday.

The cash flow has also furrowed brows abroad, with critics emphasizing that destroyed landmarks in non-Western locales — like the ancient sites destroyed by the Islamic State in Syria — have hardly inspired such a global groundswell.

“In just a few hours today, 650 million euros was donated to rebuild Notre Dame,” South Africa-based journalist Simon Allison tweeted. “In six months, just 15 million euros has been pledged to restore Brazil’s National Museum. I think this is what they call white privilege.”

Rio de Janeiro’s National Museum was incinerated in a fire in September.

Inside and outside of France, the unease has centered on a perceived disparity between concern for the fate of beautiful monuments and concern for the struggles of real people, which can be more difficult to sell to donors.

In February, for instance, the United Nations launched a record call for $4 billion in aid for Yemen, in the midst of a humanitarian crisis. “Almost 10 million are just one step away from famine,” Secretary General António Guterres said in his pitch at a donor conference in Geneva. In the hours after his call, roughly $2.6 billion in pledges came in — a feat in itself. But still well short of the goal.

Notre Dame offers a striking contrast: no one was killed, no one is starving, but philanthropists likely provided the full amount — if not more — instantaneously and unprompted.

There was initial speculation that billionaire donors were contributing to Notre Dame to receive a generous tax break from the state. Typically, the French government allows corporations a 60 percent tax deduction on donations made in the realm of culture.

“Billionaires should pay taxes,” tweeted economist Julia Cage, “not give when they feel like it, benefiting from enormous tax breaks.”

Amid mounting criticism, some of the big donors defended their contributions. Both Arnault and Pinault said they were not looking for tax benefits.

Arnault told shareholders that his family holding company had already hit its ceiling on tax deductions for charitable donations.

“It’s an empty controversy,” Arnault said. “It’s pretty dismaying to see that in France you are criticized even for doing something for the general interest.”

The Pinault family similarly released a statement saying: “The donation for Notre-Dame de Paris will not be subject to any tax deduction. The Pinault family considers that it is out of the question to burden French taxpayers.”

Pinault’s wife, actress Salma Hayek, praised on Instagram the family’s “personal and heart felt participation in the reconstruction of Notre-Dame de Paris.”

“My husband and father in law are two generous french citizens, who sincerely understand the importance of this spiritual, cultural and historical treasure from Paris to the world,” Hayek wrote.

Caroline Fourest, a French feminist and writer, said she thinks she understands the collective outpouring over Notre Dame, even though the nation’s mourning is different than after major terrorist attacks — at the Charlie Hebdo newspaper and the Bataclan concert hall in 2015, at the Bastille Day celebrations in Nice in 2016 and at a Christmas market in Strasbourg last December.

“There are similarities, mostly in the sense that we found a real communion, which was the case in Paris after the attacks,” Fourest said.

“It’s not the same loss or the same anguish, because no one died,” she said. “But with Notre Dame, we were afraid of losing a part of the beauty that makes living in Paris so sweet. There’s a sadness there.”

White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders admitted she lied to the media about President Donald Trump’s highly controversial decision to fire FBI Director James Comey in 2017, according to special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.

“Sanders told this Office [of the special counsel] that her reference to hearing from ‘countless members of the FBI’ was a ‘slip of the tongue,’” investigators wrote in the document, which was released with significant redactions by Attorney General William Barr on Thursday.

“She also recalled that her statement in a separate press interview that rank-and-file FBI agents had lost confidence in Comey was a comment she made ‘in the heat of the moment’ that was not founded on anything,” it continued.

Sanders told the press following Comey’s firing in May 2017 that “countless” FBI agents had lost confidence in his leadership. Critics quickly raised concerns that Trump’s decision to fire Comey was an attempt to obstruct justice and hinder the investigation into his campaign’s alleged collusion with Russia during the 2016 campaign.

Comey “was not doing a good job,” Trump said at the time. “Very simply, he was not doing a good job.”

Later, in an interview with NBC News, the president specifically said the ongoing investigation into his campaign led to his decision to fire Comey. “And, in fact, when I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said: ‘You know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story, it’s an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should’ve won,” the president said.

Trump’s decision to fire Comey was one of ten events Mueller’s team investigated and considered when looking into the possibility that the president had obstructed justice by interfering in the investigation. Ultimately, Mueller’s report opted not to draw a conclusion on these obstruction allegations. However, Attorney General William Barr and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein subsequently determined that they believed the president’s actions did not amount to a crime.

“After carefully reviewing the facts and legal theories outlined in the report, and in consultation with the Office of Legal Counsel and other Department lawyers, the Deputy Attorney General and I concluded that the evidence developed by the Special Counsel is not sufficient to establish that the President committed an obstruction-of-justice offense,” Barr reiterated in a press conference Thursday ahead of the redacted report’s public release.

Many Democrats have criticized Barr’s decision to rule out the possibility that the president obstructed justice. Following Thursday’s press conference and the Mueller report’s release, Democratic lawmakers quickly called out the attorney general for acting in a manner they viewed as partisan.

“We cannot take Attorney General Barr’s word for it. We must read the full Mueller report, and the underlying evidence,” House Judiciary Chair Jerrold Nadler of New York wrote on Twitter.

Senator Kamala Harris of California, who is also seeking her party’s nomination to take on Trump in 2020, accused Barr of “acting more like Trump’s defense attorney than the nation’s Attorney General. His press conference was a stunt, filled with political spin and propaganda,” she wrote in a tweet.

Even some at traditionally conservative media outlets questioned Barr’s actions. Fox News host Chris Wallace voiced a sentiment similar to Harris’ on Thursday morning when he stated the “attorney general seemed to be almost acting as the counselor for the defense, or the counselor for the president, rather than the attorney general; talking about his motives, talking about his anger, his feeling that this was unfair and he was being—there were leaks.”

The attorney general and Rep.

As, of course, he was. But so what? The court’s express holding in response to the Starr motion was that its order applied to Rule 6(e); otherwise put, the transmission of grand jury material was proper because Congress needed it to determine whether to initiate a formal impeachment inquiry. It is difficult to see how Collins, Barr or the Justice Department could make a tenable argument to the contrary.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein stood with a deadpan expression as Attorney General William Barr briefed reporters ahead of the release of a redacted version of Robert Mueller’s report.

And Twitter took note.

Rosenstein was behind Barr as the attorney general told reporters that Muller’s report found “no evidence” of a conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russia to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. Barr said he and Rosenstein “disagreed” with some of Mueller’s legal theories as it relates to instances of possible obstruction by the president.

Rosenstein, who oversaw the Russia probe after then Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself, was often a target of President Donald Trump’s disapproval of the probe. So when he stood with Barr on Thursday, barely blinking, the social media jokes began:

National security adviser John Bolton discusses new administration policy regarding Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua on Wednesday in Florida.

Wilfredo Lee/AP

The Trump administration has announced new sanctions and penalties against Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua aimed at both ending the rule of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and weakening Cuba’s communist regime.

One of the measures will allow lawsuits against foreign companies operating on property in Cuba that was seized from U.S. citizens during the Cuban revolution — a reversal of more than 20 years of U.S. policy.

Announcing the crackdown in Coral Gables, Fla., on Wednesday, national security adviser John Bolton called Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua the “troika of tyranny” and said the new measures would “end the glamorization of socialism and communism.”

The measures come as the U.S. pushes for Venezuela and the international community to recognize opposition leader Juan Guaidó as interim president.

“This is just the beginning,” Bolton said. “As long as the people of Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua stand for freedom, the United States will stand with them.”

Earlier on Wednesday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that the U.S. would no longer suspend Title III of the Helms-Burton Act.

That provision allows U.S. citizens to file lawsuits in U.S. courts against foreign companies “trafficking” in property confiscated after the 1959 revolution in Cuba. Previous administrations had a long-standing policy of waiving the provision for six months at a time. But the Trump administration had signaled its intent to tighten the U.S. trade embargo with Cuba earlier this year when it renewed the waiver for only 45 days.

The new policies announced Wednesday also include sanctions on Venezuela’s central bank and a financial services provider in Nicaragua that the administration calls a “slush fund” for President Daniel Ortega.

But Havana took the brunt of the measures, which experts say are likely to affect the country’s stagnant economy.

Bolton said the U.S. would institute restrictions on “non-family” travel in order to decrease the amount of money Americans spend on tourism in the country, an industry that Bolton said is controlled by the regime.

Tourism is a structural factor in Cuba’s economy, and a rush of visitors hit the island when President Barack Obama made it easier for U.S. citizens to make the trip. But the industry has seen a decline since President Trump took office and rolled back several Obama-era policies.

Bolton also announced a cap on remittances to Cuba of $1,000 per person per quarter. The Obama administration had removed remittance limits, and the State Department says remittances to Cuba from the United States amounted to $3 billion in 2016, The Associated Press reports.

One attendee of the speech told the AP he believes the measures announced by Bolton will bring down Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel’s government.

“Today is a big day,” said Rafael UsaTorres, who was a member of Brigade 2506 that worked for the CIA during the failed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961. “But I feel very sad — too many years waiting.”

Fernando Cutz, who helped shape Latin America policy on the National Security Council in both the Trump and Obama administrations, says that the policies announced on Wednesday are likely to bring hardship to Cuba, but not regime change.

“What we are leading the Cuban people toward is a darker day where there will be less economic opportunity, there will be less of a middle class and essentially just very hard times to come for the people of Cuba,” he told NPR’s Carrie Kahn.

As NPR’s David Welna reports, ending the Title III waiver opens the door to hundreds of thousands of lawsuits seeking billions of dollars from Cuba. According to Robert Muse, a Washington attorney with expertise in Cuban expropriations, the decision will likely trigger a flood of lawsuits against the Cuban government.

“It puts virtually every commercial enterprise on the island in question at this point and subject to a lawsuit,” Muse told Welna.

Pompeo called the move a “chance at justice” for Cuban-Americans and urged anyone doing business in Cuba to examine whether they were “abetting” the regime.

“Those doing business in Cuba should fully investigate whether they are connected to property stolen in service of a failed communist experiment,” he said.

“No one is going to take away from us, neither by allurement or by force …,” Cuba’s Díaz-Canel responded on Twitter. “We Cubans are not surrendering.”

In a joint statement, the European Union and Canada called the Trump administration’s decision regarding Title III “regrettable” and said it would have “an important impact on legitimate EU and Canadian economic operators in Cuba.”

With regard to Venezuela, Bolton said the state’s central bank had been crucial to Maduro’s continued rule and that the sanctions imposed on it “should be a strong warning to all external actors, including Russia, against deploying military assets to Venezuela to prop up the Maduro regime.” The sanctions do not bar humanitarian aid or private remittances, the AP reports.

And he announced sanctions on Nicaragua’s BanCorp, which the U.S. Department of the Treasury said on Wednesday has financially supported President Daniel Ortega and played a role “in corruption and money laundering for the personal gain of the Ortega regime.”

In the portion of the report that focused on collusion, Mueller offered a big-picture overview of the myriad contacts between Trump associates and Russians that occurred in 2016.

“The Russian contacts consisted of business connections, offers of assistance to the campaign, invitations for candidate Trump and Putin to meet in person, invitations for campaign officials and representatives of the Russian government to meet, and policy positions seeking improved US-Russian relations,” Mueller wrote in the report.

Many of these contacts are already known. At least 16 Trump associates had Russian contacts during the campaign or transition, according to public statements, court filings, and reports from CNN and others. Some of the Trump aides lied about these contacts and were charged with lying to investigators.

These contacts include the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting, negotiations with a Russian company to build a Trump-branded tower in Moscow, meetings with the Russian ambassador, and more.

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said President Trump deserves credit for breaking the mold of U.S. foreign policy and trying to personally persuade North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to dismantle the Hermit Kingdom’s nuclear weapons program because it could yield historic possibilities.

“His boldest move … is likely his personal efforts on the issue of North Korea. President Trump has, in fact, used the past year to place his imprint on a problem spanning more than six decades,” Christie wrote in his profile of Trump for Time magazine’s 100 most influential people of 2019.

“The President believes that only personal diplomacy can solve this crisis. The President’s supreme confidence in his own ability to persuade others to make a deal is now the basis for American denuclearization policy toward North Korea,” he said.

Trump has attended two summits with Kim in the past year. They met in Singapore in June 2018 and Vietnam in February, with neither ending in an agreement for North Korea to end its nuclear weapons program. Despite that, Christie said Trump’s approach could still work.

“President Trump deserves great credit for daring to try to personally persuade Chairman Kim to join the family of nations. This approach holds the possibility for history–making changes on the Korean Peninsula to make us all safer,” he said.

My social media feeds have been overwhelmed by my friends and colleagues mourning the burning of Notre Dame Cathedral these past two days. As a scholar of medieval studies, I get it — the building had a special resonance for lovers of history, architecture, and art.

But when I read that the fire was most likely caused by restoration workers, my heart broke for them. These roofers and restoration experts do the tireless work of keeping these buildings functional for all of us, and they do it at great personal risk and with little recognition.

My father is a roofer. My brother spent 30 years roofing, while I did it for seven summers. I know how easy it is for a small mistake on any construction site to cause a massive disaster.

I’m sure there are dozens of workers associated with Notre Dame who are thinking and rethinking every single action they took Monday trying to figure out if they are in any way responsible. My heart is shattered for them. They might never know for certain and they may never forgive themselves thinking it’s their fault. I have been in their boots.

One summer when I was roofing, I was ripping cedar shakes off a fancy house. This is especially nasty, hot, itchy work. It’s also extremely flammable. Most of us smoked; one of my dad’s guys who I was working with pulled me over to a spot where a cigarette butt was smoldering and told me that we were probably 10 minutes from the entire million-dollar house burning to the ground. He held it up and showed me the brand: “That’s yours. Be more careful.”

This is just one of thousands of little opportunities to make a mistake on a construction site. 99.9 percent of the time, none of us screw up. But when we do, it can be disastrous.

To this day — despite all the many many regulations, controls and safety measures — building construction is among the deadliest jobs that exist. Roofing in particular ranks just behind logging, fishing, and aircraft operation as the most deadly jobs in the US. Iron and steel workers, the builders of our buildings, are just another step down. This kind of work is dangerous, physically excruciating, and essential. It is also largely invisible. Construction workers are rarely seen as heroes and death or injury on the job are not mourned outside of their families.

In fact, many of us only think of construction workers as a nuisance, especially at places like Notre Dame: Scaffolding messes up our pictures or worksites prevent us from accessing parts of historical structures we had hoped to see. Nobody thanks construction workers for their endless labor. Yet without them, we would not have these buildings at all.

When news broke Tuesday that the damage to the interior of Notre Dame was far less severe than had been feared, we were quick and right to praise the medieval craftspeople who built this phenomenal structure. But it’s not just 13th-century masons who deserve our respect today. Notre Dame and all monuments of its ilk are what they are today because of the continual maintenance and care of thousands of builders, workers, carpenters, roofers, glaziers, artists, masons, and wrights who keep our buildings alive. But none of these people show up in front-page photos the way that firefighters do.

But when the very worst happens, workers like that are going to return to that most dangerous work to preserve our buildings. I wish I could thank every single one of them this week.

Washington (CNN)The Mueller report is coming: Attorney General William Barr is expected Thursday to release a redacted version of Robert Mueller’s report detailing the findings of the special counsel investigation.

Source Article from https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/18/politics/mueller-report-release/index.html

Sen. Bernie Sanders’s town hall on Fox News was not a visit to the lion’s den. Judging from the cheers, the audience included plenty of voters open to his message of taxing the uber-rich to pay for more government to help the average Joe.

But hosts Martha MacCallum and Bret Baier peppered the Democratic presidential candidate and self-declared democratic socialist with questions that would strike a chord with a conservative audience. Medicare for All might sound great, they asked in one key exchange, but who would foot the bill?

Sanders pushed back with many facts at his fingertips. We checked out some of his talking points for accuracy.

Sanders: In the Republican tax bill, “83% of the benefits went to the top 1%.”

This is only partly true, that part being the last years of the 10-year forecast.

There’s no question that the top 5 percent do the best by far under the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. But in the early years, about half of the tax breaks go to the bottom 90 percent of taxpayers. It’s only later that the picture skews as hard toward the wealthiest, as Sanders said. When Democrats and their supporters have made this claim before, we never rated it better than Half True.

Sanders: The United States has “three families owning more wealth than the bottom half of the American society.”

True.

Based on a 2017 report, the three wealthiest Americans — Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos and Warren Buffett — together were worth $248.5 billion. The wealth of the bottom 160 million people (the bottom half) was $245 billion. The specific numbers have changed, but we’ve seen nothing to suggest the comparison is any less valid today.

Sanders: “You know what unemployment is in Germany now? 3.1 percent. In Japan it’s 2.8 percent. In the U.K., it’s a hair higher than us.”

This is accurate.

The Fox News hosts brought up U.S. economic gains under President Donald Trump. Didn’t that progress, they asked, weaken Sanders’s case that a totally different approach is needed?

Sanders noted that while unemployment is at historic lows today, it had been falling for years before Trump took office — from 10 percent down to 4.5 percent. And he said many other countries, untouched by Trump’s policies, were also doing well.

According to Eurostat, the European Commission’s data warehouse, the unemployment rate in Germany is 3.1 percent, in Japan it’s 2.3 percent and the United Kingdom has a 3.8 percent rate.

The latest unemployment figure from the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the United States is 3.8 percent.

Sanders: “You have a situation now (since Trump took office) where 7 million more people lack health insurance that used to have it.”

This is an exaggeration. We rated a similar claim Half True.

Sanders’ number has its roots in a January 2019 Gallup estimate. The share of people telling pollsters that they lacked insurance was up 2.8 percentage points from its low in 2016. Gallup ran the numbers and converted that rise into 7 million people who lost insurance.

But Gallup’s 2016 low was lower than other reports back then, which made the jump in 2018 look larger.

The gold-standard government survey found a rise of about 1.3 million people.

Sanders: “Amazon, owned by the wealthiest person in this country, paid zero in federal taxes.”

This is largely right but needs clarification.

Yes, Amazon reported to the SEC that it paid no federal income taxes in 2018. And when Sanders has specified that Amazon paid no income taxes before, we’ve rated that True.

But for the record, he skipped over specifying the income tax, and it’s worth noting that Amazon paid the employer share of payroll taxes on its 647,500 full-time and part-time employees.

“At over 7 percent of pay, that’s a lot of money,” said University of North Carolina accounting professor Jeffrey Hoopes.

Also, while Jeff Bezos founded Amazon and runs the company, he owns about 16 percent of the stock, so he doesn’t own the entire firm. But as Hoopes emphasized, “he does call the shots.”

Sanders: Trump’s last budget calls for a “$845 billion” cut in Medicare over 10 years.

This is an exaggeration.

Many Democrats have said that Trump’s FY 2020 budget aimed to cut Medicare by $845 billion, which we’ve rated Mostly False.

The reality is that about $250 billion of that would still be spent on the same Medicare programs for hospitals, but it would come from the general federal budget, not the primary Medicare trust fund. So right off the bat, the reduction is closer to $600 billion.

Factoring other shifts, estimates put the budget reductions somewhere between $515 billion and $600 billion over 10 years.

Importantly, spending in real terms rises throughout the period. The cut is a reduction from the path Medicare would have been on, if everything stayed the same.

Republicans, we should note, leveled the same charge against Obama. It was just as misleading.

Sanders: With the Yemen resolution, “for the first time since the War Powers Act was passed 45 years ago, we succeeded in the House and the Senate.”

This is accurate.

The United States has provided indirect support to Saudi Arabia’s attacks in Yemen, attacks that included bombing in civilian areas. Both the Senate and the House passed resolutions calling for an end to any U.S. involvement. Trump vetoed it, with little chance that it would be overturned.

Historian Christopher Nichols at Oregon State University told us, “it is the first time both chambers of Congress have invoked the same war-powers resolution, agreed, and passed such a resolution explicitly designed to end U.S. military engagement in a foreign conflict.”
