Donald Trump’s feud with McCain family escalates: ‘I was never a fan’ – Fox News
Donald Trump’s feud with McCain family escalates: ‘I was never a fan’ – Fox News

The feud between President Trump and John’s McCain family escalated Tuesday as a top campaign adviser clashed with daughter Meghan McCain, and the president himself declared he’s “not a fan” of the late Republican senator.

“I was never a fan of John McCain and I never will be,” Trump told reporters at the White House, during a meeting with Brazil’s visiting president.

The comments comes after Meghan McCain, who on Monday tore into the president during an emotional segment on “The View,” went back on the offensive on social media. The 34-year-old shared a Toronto Star cartoon on Instagram showing her late father’s military medals side-by-side with a collection of pacifiers under the heading, “Donald Trump.”

Shortly afterward, Trump campaign senior adviser Katrina Pierson fired back by mocking her post with one of her own.

MEGHAN MCCAIN SLAMS DONALD TRUMP IN EMOTIONAL ‘THE VIEW’ SEGMENT: ‘HE WILL NEVER BE A GREAT MAN’

Pierson shared an edited version of the cartoon with the presidential seal replacing the pacifiers under Trump’s name. The cartoonist’s name and the Toronto Star had also been cropped out of the image.

The latest shots were fired after McCain hammered Trump on Monday’s episode of “The View.”

“He spends his weekend obsessing over great men because he knows it, I know it, and all of you know it, he will never be a great man,” she said.

“My father was his kryptonite in life and he was kryptonite in death. On a personal level, all of us have love and families and when my father was alive until adulthood we would spend our time fishing, cooking, really celebrating life and I think it’s because he almost died.

MEGHAN McCAIN HAS SHARP RESPONSE TO TRUMP’S JOHN MCCAIN DOSSIER TWEET

“And I just thought ‘your life is spent on weekends not with your family, not with your friends but obsessing.’ Obsessing over great men you could never live up to. That tells you everything you need to know about his pathetic life.”

McCain closed out the rebuke by adding: “I genuinely feel bad for his family. I can’t imagine having a father that does this on the weekends.”

Trump has repeatedly tweeted about John McCain in recent days, falsely claiming the late senator graduated “last in his class” at Annapolis and slamming his role in the Russia investigation.

“So it was indeed (just proven in court papers) “last in his class” (Annapolis) John McCain that sent the Fake Dossier to the FBI and Media hoping to have it printed BEFORE the Election. He & the Dems, working together, failed (as usual). Even the Fake News refused this garbage!” Trump tweeted Sunday morning.

COURT FILES REVEAL ROLE OF MCCAIN, ASSOCIATE IN SPREADING ANTI-TRUMP DOSSIER

On Saturday, the president responded to reports McCain and an associate had shared with the FBI and various media outlets the unverified dossier alleging that Moscow held compromising information on Trump.

“Spreading the fake and totally discredited Dossier ‘is, unfortunately, a very dark stain against John McCain.’ Ken Starr, Former Independent Counsel,” Trump wrote.

“He had far worse ‘stains’ than this, including thumbs down on repeal and replace [of the Obama-era Affordable Care Act] after years of campaigning to repeal and replace!”

Meghan McCain, bristling at the remark, fired back with her own Twitter post, in which she said that “no one will ever love you the way they loved my father.”

Trump has made of habit of attacking McCain, even after the former Arizona senator’s death in August last year.

One day before the deadly crash of a Lion Air plane on Oct. 29 last year, pilots flying that Boeing 737 Max 8 lost control of the aircraft — but they were saved by an off-duty colleague riding in the cockpit, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday.

That off-duty pilot correctly identified the problem the crew was facing and guided them to disable the flight control system in order to save the plane, according to the report, which cited two people familiar with the investigation in Indonesia.

Investigators said the flight control system malfunction that day was identical to what brought down the same aircraft the next day, according to the report. The Boeing plane, operated by a different crew, crashed into Indonesia’s Java Sea, killing all 189 on board.

Lion Air did not immediately respond to CNBC’s request for comment. A Lion Air spokesman told Bloomberg that the airline has submitted all data and information to Indonesia’s National Transportation Safety Committee and cannot comment further due to the ongoing investigation.

Boeing declined to comment, while the Indonesian safety committee did not immediately reply to CNBC’s request for comment.

Less than five months after the Lion Air crash, on March 10, a Boeing 737 Max 8 operated by Ethiopian Airlines crashed. None of the 157 on board survived.

The two fatal accidents involving the same plane model led to authorities around the world — including in the U.S., Europe, China and Indonesia — to ground Boeing 737 Max planes. The U.S. Department of Transportation said on Tuesday it has asked to audit the Federal Aviation Administration’s approval of Boeing’s 737 Max 8 planes.

For the full report on what happened the day before the Lion Air plane crash, read Bloomberg.

    Co-sponsor of the ‘Discouraging Frivolous Lawsuits Act’ brings lawsuit against people who are mean to him online – Washington Examiner
    Co-sponsor of the ‘Discouraging Frivolous Lawsuits Act’ brings lawsuit against people who are mean to him online – Washington Examiner

    Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., is very mad that people make fun of him on Twitter.

    He’s so mad, in fact, that he’s bringing a $250-plus million defamation lawsuit against the social media company and his Twitter antagonists, including accounts titled “Devin Nunes’ Mom” and “Devin Nunes’ Cow.”

    Because the ranking member on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and co-sponsor of the “Discouraging Frivolous Lawsuits Act” apparently has nothing better to do.

    The lawsuit, which seeks $250 million in compensatory damages and $350,000 in punitive damages, according to Fox News, accuses Twitter of “shadow-banning” the congressman and other conservative voices by hiding their tweets. It also accuses Twitter of “ignoring” complaints of abusive behavior.

    The social media site is guilty of “knowingly hosting and monetizing content that is clearly abusive, hateful and defamatory – providing both a voice and financial incentive to the defamers – thereby facilitating defamation on its platform,” the congressman alleges.

    He also claims Twitter actively worked to undermine and delegitimize his efforts last year to investigate government surveillance abuses when he served as the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. The congressman argues further that the influential social media site has a duty to police its users.

    In 2018, Nunes “endured an orchestrated defamation campaign of stunning breadth and scope, one that no human being should ever have to bear and suffer in their whole life,” his complaint reads.

    Examples of the indignities suffered by the congressman include that someone “hijacked Nunes’ name, falsely impersonated Nunes’ mother, and created and maintained an account on Twitter (@DevinNunesMom) for the sole purpose of attacking, defaming, disparaging and demeaning Nunes.”

    The complaint adds, “In her endless barrage of tweets, Devin Nunes’ Mom maliciously attacked every aspect of Nunes’ character, honesty, integrity, ethics and fitness to perform his duties as a United States Congressman.”

    “Devin Nunes’ Mom,” it continues, “stated that Nunes had turned out worse than Jacob Wohl; falsely accused Nunes of being a racist, having ‘white supremist friends’ and distributing ‘disturbing inflammatory racial propaganda’; falsely accused Nunes of putting up a ‘Fake News MAGA’ sign outside a Texas Holocaust museum; falsely stated that Nunes would probably join the ‘Proud Boys’, if it weren’t for that unfortunate ‘nomasturbating’ rule’; disparagingly called him a ‘presidential fluffer and swamp rat’; falsely stated that Nunes had brought ‘shame’ to his family; repeatedly accused Nunes of the crime of treason, compared him to Benedict Arnold, and called him a ‘traitor.'”

    The fake “mom” account has since been suspended by Twitter.

    Another account, “Devin Nunes’ Cow,” called the congressman a “treasonous cowpoke” and an “udder-ly worthless” felon. This account is still active.

    Both the “mom” and the “cow” accounts are listed as defendants in the California lawmaker’s lawsuit.

    “As part of its agenda to squelch Nunes’ voice, cause him extreme pain and suffering, influence the 2018 Congressional election, and distract, intimidate and interfere with Nunes’ investigation into corruption and Russian involvement in the 2016 Presidential Election, Twitter did absolutely nothing,” the complaint reads.

    It also accuses GOP operative Liz Mair of publishing tweets implying the congressman had “colluded with prostitutes and cocaine addicts,” that he “does cocaine,” and that he “was involved in a ‘Russian money laundering front.’”

    “The lawsuit alleged defamation, conspiracy and negligence, as well as violations of the state’s prohibition against ‘insulting words’ – effectively fighting words that tend towards ‘violence and breach of the peace,’” Fox explained. “The complaint sought not only damages, but also an injunction compelling Twitter to turn over the identities behind numerous accounts he said harassed and defamed him.”

    The congressman’s personal attorneys said elsewhere in a statement that, “Twitter is a machine. It is a modern-day Tammany Hall. Congressman Nunes intends to hold Twitter fully accountable for its abusive behavior and misconduct.”

    The lawsuit alleges Twitter has gone well beyond merely hosting content. It claims the social media site actively curates and encourages certain types of posts, including those that make fun of Nunes.

    It’s like these people have never heard of the Streisand Effect.

    If these Twitter troll accounts are as damaging and hurtful as the congressman alleges, he just gave them a national audience. Thousands and thousands of people who otherwise would have never known about any of this now know (or will soon know) that someone once called Nunes a “treasonous cowpoke” thanks to his lawsuit.

    Since announcing his lawsuit, the “Devin Nunes’ Cow” account has gone from 1,000 to 115,000 followers.

    That’s called a “self-own.”

    Michael Cohen investigation involved secretive "Triggerfish" tracking device – CBS News
    Michael Cohen investigation involved secretive "Triggerfish" tracking device – CBS News

    The FBI wanted Michael Cohen’s cell phones, but knew they couldn’t be found at his home. The problem: Cohen and his family had moved into a hotel while renovating their apartment.

    The solution, on April 8, 2018, was to use a controversial surveillance technology to determine his exact location: Room 1728 at the Loews Regency Hotel.

    An FBI special agent wrote in an affidavit unsealed Tuesday that federal agents “sought and obtained authority to employ an electronic technique, commonly known as ‘triggerfish,’ to determine the locations” of Cohen’s two iPhones.

    Federal agents later obtained a warrant to retrieve the phones from the room. A court-ordered Special Master later determined that federal agents could review the vast majority of nearly 300,000 files on the two phones, as well as an iPad obtained in the search.

    Triggerfish devices — often referred to as Stingrays — mimic cell phone towers, allowing them to pinpoint a phone’s location, sometimes even before it makes a call or text.

    “Stingrays” secretly track cellphones

    It is not clear exactly what information other than location that law enforcement gleaned from its use of a Stingray targeting Cohen. The devices also capable of collecting the calls, text messages and even the emails sent to and from phones.

    And because they act as cell towers, they don’t just collect information from the targets of investigations. Stingrays are capable of taking in information from entire neighborhoods, which is why civil liberties groups have for years objected to their use.

    The devices are made by defense contractor Harris Corporation, and its patents indicate Stingrays and similar devices have been used for about two decades, though law enforcement rarely acknowledges their use.

    The government has even withdrawn charges against criminal defendants rather than turning over information to defense teams about the Stingray, according to a 2017 policy analysis by the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank.

    As a result, it’s not clear just how widespread use of the devices is. In a November 2018 report, the ACLU cataloged Stingray use by 75 agencies in 27 states and the District of Columbia, but that list is almost certainly incomplete. The ACLU found 14 federal agencies that use the devices, but does not currently include one identified by CBS News: the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

    In response to a 2016 Freedom of Information Act request filed by CBS News, the agency wrote it could not “disclose techniques and procedures for law enforcement investigation and prosecutions.”

    Much of the Midwest is dealing with catastrophic flooding this week along the Missouri and Mississippi river basins, the result of a hurricane-like winter storm called a “bomb cyclone” that dropped huge amounts of rain, melted existing snow and caused torrents of water to wash nearly unimpeded across the frozen ground.

    The worst flooding has been in Nebraska and Iowa, but parts of Minnesota, Wisconsin, South Dakota and bordering states were also affected and may have to contend with more flooding this week. Several people have died, and hundreds more have been driven from their homes. Access to some places has been completely cut off by high water.

    This false-color satellite image from March 15 shows snow cover to the west and flooding along the Missouri River in the very dark areas. Compared to the same area last May, the swollen tributaries of the Mississippi River are apparent. The reddish areas are vegetation, and the white areas are snow.


    Swollen tributaries of the Mississippi River appear dark in this false color image from the ESA Sentinel satellite.

    On March 14, Spencer Dam on the Niobrara River gave way and an 11-foot wall of water rushed through. A hydroelectric plant just downstream was destroyed when the dam broke and an ice floe rammed the building.


    False-color images of Omaha show the swollen Platt and Missouri rivers, compared to the same area in February.

    About one third of Offutt Air Force Base near Omaha was underwater as of March 17, including 3,000 feet of the base’s 11,700-foot runway. At least 30 buildings were damaged, according to Air Force Times. The 55th Wing headquarters and two aircraft maintenance facilities were inundated by up to eight feet of water. U.S. Strategic Command headquarters sits at higher elevation and was not affected.

    Images from DigitalGlobe show the extent of the flooding.

    Just south of the air base, the town of La Platte was inundated.

    On the other side of the Missouri River in western Iowa, the entire town of Pacific Junction was evacuated.

    The U.S. Supreme Court in Washington where the justices ruled that the government can detain certain immigrants without bond hearings.

    Susan Walsh/AP

    The U.S. Supreme Court, narrowly divided along ideological lines, ruled Tuesday that the government may detain — without a hearing — legal immigrants long after they have served the sentences for crimes they committed.

    The 5-4 decision, which reverses a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, is widely viewed as a victory for the Trump administration and its hardline immigration policies. It, like the Obama administration, had argued that the government has the authority to pick up and detain immigrants for deportation at any time, and is not required to act only immediately after a prison or jail sentence has been served.

    Writing for the conservative majority, Justice Samuel Alito, said immigration law mandates the detention of “deportable criminal aliens” even if it is years later.

    Alito wrote that it is “especially hard to swallow” the notion that “the alien must be arrested on the day he walks out of jail.”

    “As we have held time and again, an official’s duties are better carried out late than never,” he wrote.

    Writing for the court’s dissenting liberal wing, Justice Stephen Breyer warned that the ruling gives the government too much power. The law is clear, he wrote, that the government cannot hold an immigrant without a bail hearing unless the individual is detained when released from criminal custody.

    To underscore his dissent, Breyer read aloud part of his opinion.

    “In deciphering the intent of the Congress that wrote this statute, we must decide — in the face of what is, at worst, linguistic ambiguity — whether Congress intended that persons who have long since paid their debt to society would be deprived of their liberty for months or years without the possibility of bail,” Breyer wrote.

    “We cannot decide that question without bearing in mind basic American legal values: the Government’s duty not to deprive any ‘person’ of ‘liberty’ without ‘due process of law,’ ” he added.

    The high court’s ruling comes in response to two unrelated class-action cases.

    In one case, Mony Preap, a legal permanent resident from Cambodia was arrested and convicted of marijuana possession in 2006. But he wasn’t detained by federal authorities until 2013 following another sentence for battery — a non-deportable offense. Preap remains in the U.S. after successfully challenging his deportation case.

    In the companion case before the court, Bassam Yusuf Khoury, described in court papers as “a native of Palestine,” served a 30-day sentence on a drug charge in 2011. Two years later, federal authorities detained and tried to deport him. He was held for six months before a judge ordered his release. Khoury also won his deportation case and still resides in the U.S.

    The American Civil Liberties Union represented both plaintiffs. The ACLU’s Deputy Legal Director Cecilia Wang said Tuesday’s ruling follows another decision last year that limited the rights of immigrants to bond hearings.

    “For two years in a row now, the Supreme Court has endorsed the most extreme interpretation of immigration detention statutes, allowing mass incarceration of people without any hearing, simply because they are defending themselves against a deportation charge,” said Wang in a statement. “We will continue to fight the gross overuse of detention in the immigration system.”

    Donald Trump’s feud with McCain family escalates: ‘I was never a fan’ – Fox News
    Donald Trump’s feud with McCain family escalates: ‘I was never a fan’ – Fox News

    President Donald Trump and Meghan McCain.
    (AP and Fox news)

    The feud between President Trump and John’s McCain family escalated Tuesday as a top campaign adviser clashed with daughter Meghan McCain, and the president himself declared he’s “not a fan” of the late Republican senator.

    “I was never a fan of John McCain and I never will be,” Trump told reporters at the White House, during a meeting with Brazil’s visiting president.

    The comments comes after Meghan McCain, who on Monday tore into the president during an emotional segment on “The View,” went back on the offensive on social media. The 34-year-old shared a Toronto Star cartoon on Instagram showing her late father’s military medals side-by-side with a collection of pacifiers under the heading, “Donald Trump.”

    Shortly afterward, Trump campaign senior adviser Katrina Pierson fired back by mocking her post with one of her own.

    MEGHAN MCCAIN SLAMS DONALD TRUMP IN EMOTIONAL ‘THE VIEW’ SEGMENT: ‘HE WILL NEVER BE A GREAT MAN’

    Pierson shared an edited version of the cartoon with the presidential seal replacing the pacifiers under Trump’s name. The cartoonist’s name and the Toronto Star had also been cropped out of the image.

    The latest shots were fired after McCain hammered Trump on Monday’s episode of “The View.”

    “He spends his weekend obsessing over great men because he knows it, I know it, and all of you know it, he will never be a great man,” she said.

    “My father was his kryptonite in life and he was kryptonite in death. On a personal level, all of us have love and families and when my father was alive until adulthood we would spend our time fishing, cooking, really celebrating life and I think it’s because he almost died.

    MEGHAN McCAIN HAS SHARP RESPONSE TO TRUMP’S JOHN MCCAIN DOSSIER TWEET

    “And I just thought ‘your life is spent on weekends not with your family, not with your friends but obsessing.’ Obsessing over great men you could never live up to. That tells you everything you need to know about his pathetic life.”

    McCain closed out the rebuke by adding: “I genuinely feel bad for his family. I can’t imagine having a father that does this on the weekends.”

    Trump has repeatedly tweeted about John McCain in recent days, falsely claiming the late senator graduated “last in his class” at Annapolis and slamming his role in the Russia investigation.

    “So it was indeed (just proven in court papers) “last in his class” (Annapolis) John McCain that sent the Fake Dossier to the FBI and Media hoping to have it printed BEFORE the Election. He & the Dems, working together, failed (as usual). Even the Fake News refused this garbage!” Trump tweeted Sunday morning.

    COURT FILES REVEAL ROLE OF MCCAIN, ASSOCIATE IN SPREADING ANTI-TRUMP DOSSIER

    On Saturday, the president responded to reports McCain and an associate had shared with the FBI and various media outlets the unverified dossier alleging that Moscow held compromising information on Trump.

    “Spreading the fake and totally discredited Dossier ‘is, unfortunately, a very dark stain against John McCain.’ Ken Starr, Former Independent Counsel,” Trump wrote.

    “He had far worse ‘stains’ than this, including thumbs down on repeal and replace [of the Obama-era Affordable Care Act] after years of campaigning to repeal and replace!”

    Meghan McCain, bristling at the remark, fired back with her own Twitter post, in which she said that “no one will ever love you the way they loved my father.”

    Trump has made of habit of attacking McCain, even after the former Arizona senator’s death in August last year.

    Updated at 6:15 p.m. ET

    The White House says President Trump will nominate Stephen Dickson, a former executive and pilot at Delta Air Lines, to lead the Federal Aviation Administration.

    The FAA has come under criticism for failing to quickly ground the Boeing 737 Max after the crash of an Ethiopian Airlines jet this month, the second fatal crash of the Boeing plane in recent months. The FAA grounded the planes only after other nations did so.

    Acting Administrator Daniel Elwell told NPR’s Morning Edition that the agency had been waiting for data to establish a “common thread” between the two crashes before grounding the planes.

    The FAA has not had a permanent administrator since Michael Huerta, an Obama administration holdover, resigned in early 2018. Elwell has been serving as acting administrator in the interim.

    According to a White House statement, Dickson recently retired as the senior vice president for flight operations at Delta, where he was “responsible for the safety and operational performance of Delta’s global flight operations, as well as pilot training.”

    There have been reports that pilots were upset at the lack of training provided by Boeing for the new plane, as well as criticism that the agency has grown too chummy with the company.

    In choosing Dickson to lead the agency, the White House has nominated a former pilot who has flown Boeing jets, including the 737, during his career at Delta and whom it calls “a strong advocate for commercial aviation safety and improvements to our National Airspace System, having served as chairman of several industry stakeholder groups and Federal advisory committees.”

    The nomination was announced after the FAA’s inspector general launched a probe of the agency’s decision to certify the 737 Max, first reported by the Wall Street Journal on Sunday. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao confirmed the audit on Tuesday, asserting in a statement that “safety is the top priority of the Department, and all of us are saddened by the fatalities resulting from the recent accidents involving two Boeing 737-MAX 8 aircraft in Indonesia and Ethiopia.”

    Saagar Enjeti deserves better than Jim Acosta’s scorn – Washington Examiner
    Saagar Enjeti deserves better than Jim Acosta’s scorn – Washington Examiner

    CNN Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta is wrong. Saagar Enjeti’s question to President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil on Tuesday was both justified and sensible. The Daily Caller’s White House reporter asked Bolsonaro how the election of a socialist president might alter his policy towards the U.S.

    The Brazilian president’s interest in U.S. relations is focused on closer economic and national security partnerships. The socialistic policies now being promoted by top 2020 Democratic presidential aspirants would feasibly weaken the U.S. military, damage the U.S. economy, and obstruct trade opportunities with Brazil. In that sense, Bolsonaro would have good rationale to think more cautiously of U.S. engagement under a Democratic president.

    Enjeti thus deserves credit for raising the question. Acosta sees it differently. He described Enjeti’s question as a “softball.”

    Acosta does himself and his network no service by attacking another journalist with such a petulant rebuke. Yes, Enjeti gets called on by the president quite frequently. And yes, there’s a good argument to make that CNN’s staple of White House reporters deserve more questions. We are a democracy of pluralistic viewpoints, after all.

    But Enjeti is a good reporter and one who always asks pertinent questions of political import. Just before his question for Bolsonaro, Enjeti asked President Trump two very relevant questions about Democrats wanting to expand the Supreme Court and California Republican Rep. Devin Nunes’ lawsuit against Twitter.

    Suggesting otherwise without merit, Acosta lends to the idea that his interest is not in straight news reporting, but rather in opinion messaging.

    2020 Democrats push for increasing the number of Supreme Court justices

    Republican lawmakers announced Tuesday that they would be introducing a constitutional amendment this week that would stop the recent push by some Democrats to increase the number of justices on the Supreme Court.

    Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., slammed calls by 2020 Democratic hopefuls to increase the number of sitting judges as “dangerous” and a threat to the balance of power among the three branches of government.

    “Schemes to pack the court are dangerous to the Founders’ vision of an independent judiciary that serves as a check on both the Executive and Legislative branches of government,” he wrote on Twitter.

    Green said he intends to file a constitutional amendment Thursday that would limit the number of justices to 9 – the number it has been since 1869.

    “The Supreme Court must remain a fair and impartial branch of government not beholden to party.”

    Several Democrats on the campaign trail, including former Rep. Beto O’Rourke and Sens. Cory Booker, D-N.J., Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Kamala Harris, D-Calif., and Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., have signaled their openness to expanding the number of judges on the court if they enter the White House.

    2020 DEMOCRATS EYE DRAMATIC INCREASE IN SUPREME COURT JUSTICES: ‘ALL OPTIONS ARE ON THE TABLE’

    But Republicans fired back, with even the President saying “it will never happen.”

    Trump told reporters in the Rose Garden on Tuesday that the move to increase seats comes after the new administration was able to seat two new judges -Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh – following the Dems’ loss in the 2016 elections.

    “I wouldn’t entertain that. The only reason that they’re doing that is they want to try and catch up, so if they can’t catch up through the ballot box by winning an election, they want to try doing it in a different way,” he said.

    TRUMP FIRES BACK AT DEM’S COURT-PACKING PUSH: ‘IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN’

    Other Republican lawmakers have backed Green’s proposal, including Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., who also announced plans to introduce a similar measure in the Senate.

    “We must prevent further destabilization of essential institutions,” he wrote on Twitter. “Court packing is quickly becoming a litmus test for 2020 Democratic candidates.”

    Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., called increasing calls for expanding the court “ironic.”

    “I find it ironic Democrats want to increase the size of the Supreme Court, but gut the military.”

    Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, called the idea to expand the courts “radical.”

    The Constitution does not establish a set number of justices; that is up to Congress. There were initially six members of the high court — then seven, then nine, then down to eight, then up to ten for a while, then back down to eight, and then ticking up to nine in 1869.

      Mozambique Cyclone Rescuers Struggle to Reach Victims in ‘Inland Ocean’ – The New York Times

      MAPUTO, Mozambique — Rescue workers struggled Tuesday to reach areas devastated by a huge cyclone in Mozambique, as heavy rains swelled rivers and further isolated flooded communities in what aid agencies called the worst natural disaster in southern Africa in two decades.

      In central Mozambique, the area hit hardest by Cyclone Idai, overflowing rivers created “an inland ocean” where countless people were still marooned, a United Nations official said.

      Rescue workers reported seeing people on rooftops and in trees days after the storm struck. In areas near the rivers, homes were submerged, with water rising near the tops of telephone poles.

      “We took an aerial survey, and as far as the eye can see, there was flooding, and deep as well,” said Jamie LeSueur, who was leading rescue efforts in central Mozambique for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. “What we are now facing is large-scale flooding on top of an area already devastated by the cyclone.”

      WASHINGTON—Negotiators for the U.S. and China have scheduled a new round of high-level trade talks in Beijing and Washington, aiming to close a deal by late April to end the yearlong dispute between the world’s two largest economies.

      U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin plan to fly to Beijing next week to meet with Chinese Vice Premier Liu He, Trump administration officials said. The following week, a Chinese delegation led by Mr. Liu is expected to continue talks in Washington,…

      Supreme Court hands Trump administration a victory in immigration battle – Fox News
      Supreme Court hands Trump administration a victory in immigration battle – Fox News
      Video

      DHS reports illegal immigration at highest rate since 2007

      The crisis at the border appears to be reaching a breaking point.

      The Supreme Court on Tuesday handed the Trump administration a victory in its battle to clamp down on illegal immigration by making it easier to detain immigrants with criminal records.

      The ruling that federal immigration authorities can detain immigrants awaiting deportation anytime after they have been released from prison on criminal charges represents a victory for President Trump.

      In the case before the justices, a group of mostly green card holders argued that unless immigrants were picked up immediately after finishing their prison sentence, they should get a hearing to argue for their release while deportation proceedings go forward. But in the 5-4 decision on Tuesday, the Supreme Court ruled against them, deciding that federal immigration officials can detain noncitizens at any time after their release from local or state custody. The court also ruled the government maintains broad discretion to decide who would represent a danger to the community in deciding who to release or detain.

      BORDER PATROL UNION LEADER: CONGRESS IS WRONG, NATIONAL EMERGENCY ON THE BORDER IS REAL

      During oral arguments in October the Trump administration argued that given the limited money and manpower available, it was nearly impossible for the federal government to immediately detain every immigrant upon their release from custody.

      Video

      Associate Justice Samuel Alito wrote the majority opinion, stating that “neither the statute’s text nor its structure” supported the immigrants’ argument. The court’s conservative justices sided with the Trump administration, which argued as the Obama administration did, against hearings for those convicted of crimes and affected by the law.

      The case before the justices involved a class-action lawsuit brought by non-citizens in California and a similar class-action lawsuit brought in the state of Washington. One of the lead plaintiffs, Mony Preap, has been a lawful permanent resident of the United States since 1981 and has two convictions for possession of marijuana. He was released from prison in 2006 but was not taken into immigration custody until 2013.

      Preap won in lower courts, and the government was ordered to provide him and other class members a bond hearing. Preap has since won his deportation case.

      The ruling was the first in the court’s current term – which began in October – and the first for Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who, along with Chief Justice John Roberts, wrote a concurring opinion. The court’s four more liberal justices dissented, and Justice Stephen Breyer took the unusual step of reading an oral dissent from the bench.

      What’s in the Cohen warrant documents: Live updates – CNN

      Prosecutors asked for historic data from Michael Cohen’s cell phones the month before the 2016 election, according to exhibit 7 of the documents.

      They also had the pen registers, which records numbers called, in and out of Cohen’s cell for two months after the raid, when he was in touch with Trump and his lawyers.

      The government obtained a warrant for the cell location data pinging from cell towers for two cell phones subscribed by Cohen from April 7, 2018 for 45 days.

      In addition, the judge granted the government’s request for historical cell location for the month before the election — Oct 1, 2016 until election day on Nov. 8, 2016. There was also a request for Jan. 1 to April 7, 2018. 

      The pen register that identifies the phone number attached to incoming and outgoing calls was ordered for two months from the date of the application – April 7, 2018 – meaning they knew about any calls after the raid for two months, including his calls with Trump, Trump’s lawyers etc.

      A small fraction of the 81 individuals and entities connected to President Donald Trump have turned over documents to the House Judiciary Committee by Monday’s deadline as part of the panel’s sweeping obstruction of justiceinvestigation, according to Republican aides.

      The committee had received just eight responses as of Tuesday morning, GOP counsels to the committee said. The vast majority of the 8,195 pages of material in those responses was provided by former Trump adviser Steve Bannon, who handed over 2,688 pages; Trump confidant Thomas Barrack, who supplied 3,349 pages; and the National Rifle Association, which turned over 1,466 pages, the Republicans said.

      Donald Trump’s feud with McCain family escalates: ‘I was never a fan’ – Fox News
      Donald Trump’s feud with McCain family escalates: ‘I was never a fan’ – Fox News

      President Donald Trump and Meghan McCain.
      (AP and Fox news)

      The feud between President Trump and John’s McCain family escalated Tuesday as a top campaign adviser clashed with daughter Meghan McCain, and the president himself declared he’s “not a fan” of the late Republican senator.

      “I was never a fan of John McCain and I never will be,” Trump told reporters at the White House, during a meeting with Brazil’s visiting president.

      The comments comes after Meghan McCain, who on Monday tore into the president during an emotional segment on “The View,” went back on the offensive on social media. The 34-year-old shared a Toronto Star cartoon on Instagram showing her late father’s military medals side-by-side with a collection of pacifiers under the heading, “Donald Trump.”

      Shortly afterward, Trump campaign senior adviser Katrina Pierson fired back by mocking her post with one of her own.

      MEGHAN MCCAIN SLAMS DONALD TRUMP IN EMOTIONAL ‘THE VIEW’ SEGMENT: ‘HE WILL NEVER BE A GREAT MAN’

      Pierson shared an edited version of the cartoon with the presidential seal replacing the pacifiers under Trump’s name. The cartoonist’s name and the Toronto Star had also been cropped out of the image.

      The latest shots were fired after McCain hammered Trump on Monday’s episode of “The View.”

      “He spends his weekend obsessing over great men because he knows it, I know it, and all of you know it, he will never be a great man,” she said.

      “My father was his kryptonite in life and he was kryptonite in death. On a personal level, all of us have love and families and when my father was alive until adulthood we would spend our time fishing, cooking, really celebrating life and I think it’s because he almost died.

      MEGHAN McCAIN HAS SHARP RESPONSE TO TRUMP’S JOHN MCCAIN DOSSIER TWEET

      “And I just thought ‘your life is spent on weekends not with your family, not with your friends but obsessing.’ Obsessing over great men you could never live up to. That tells you everything you need to know about his pathetic life.”

      McCain closed out the rebuke by adding: “I genuinely feel bad for his family. I can’t imagine having a father that does this on the weekends.”

      Trump has repeatedly tweeted about John McCain in recent days, falsely claiming the late senator graduated “last in his class” at Annapolis and slamming his role in the Russia investigation.

      “So it was indeed (just proven in court papers) “last in his class” (Annapolis) John McCain that sent the Fake Dossier to the FBI and Media hoping to have it printed BEFORE the Election. He & the Dems, working together, failed (as usual). Even the Fake News refused this garbage!” Trump tweeted Sunday morning.

      COURT FILES REVEAL ROLE OF MCCAIN, ASSOCIATE IN SPREADING ANTI-TRUMP DOSSIER

      On Saturday, the president responded to reports McCain and an associate had shared with the FBI and various media outlets the unverified dossier alleging that Moscow held compromising information on Trump.

      “Spreading the fake and totally discredited Dossier ‘is, unfortunately, a very dark stain against John McCain.’ Ken Starr, Former Independent Counsel,” Trump wrote.

      “He had far worse ‘stains’ than this, including thumbs down on repeal and replace [of the Obama-era Affordable Care Act] after years of campaigning to repeal and replace!”

      Meghan McCain, bristling at the remark, fired back with her own Twitter post, in which she said that “no one will ever love you the way they loved my father.”

      Trump has made of habit of attacking McCain, even after the former Arizona senator’s death in August last year.

      Vice President Pence To Visit Nebraska Amid Record Floods – NPR

      A railroad crossing is flooded with water from the Platte River in Plattsmouth, Neb. Record high floodwaters inundated regions of the Midwest following an intense winter storm and rapid snowmelt.

      Updated at 3:20 p.m. ET

      As floodwaters begin to recede, Vice President Pence announced in a tweet that he would visit Nebraska on Tuesday to take stock of the devastation.

      His visit comes as 74 cities, 65 counties and four tribal areas have declared states of emergency in Nebraska, according to the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency.

      Additionally, nearly half of Iowa’s counties are covered by Gov. Kim Reynolds’ disaster proclamations.

      Water submerged large swaths of those states, as well as parts of Kansas, Missouri, South Dakota and Wisconsin, ravaging farms and swamping homes. At least four people have been killed and hundreds of others have been displaced.

      White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders tweeted that Pence would be joined by Gov. Pete Ricketts of Nebraska and by Reynolds.

      Reynolds told reporters on Tuesday that the visit would help the vice president get a sense of the severity of the damage caused by floods.

      She said 41 of Iowa’s 99 counties are included in her state disaster declaration.

      Steve Hespen, the sheriff of Nebraska’s Dodge County, told NPR that several levees were breached in the region he patrols after a “bomb cyclone” poured torrents of rain across the region, compounded with snowmelt filling rivers and streams.

      “I’ve lived in this area of Dodge County and Fremont all my life and this is the worst flood situation that I’ve ever encountered,” Hespen said.

      Until Monday evening, flooding around Fremont, Neb., was so severe that traffic was largely cut off from the city as most highway lanes were underwater.

      Private pilots offered free flights to shuttle stranded residents in and out of the city before roads reopened, The Associated Press reported.

      The Nebraska Department of Transportation has been updating residents via Twitter regarding road closures and reopenings.

      Among the areas hardest hit is the agriculture business, Nebraska’s leading industry, with the state’s Department of Agriculture reporting up to $1 billion in expected damage to farms and livestock.

      Nebraska Department of Agriculture Director Steve Wellman told reporters that the floods will have ripple effects throughout the country. “We process more red meat here than any other state,” he said. Flooding of farms and barns, in addition to last week’s blizzard conditions, struck as calving season — the time of year when new calves are born — was underway, he explained. “That could affect the consumer.”

      Wellman said it’s still too early to provide a definitive stock of all the damage to the industry, but reminded reporters that the estimate he provided does not include the significant damage to roads and other infrastructure crucial to transporting products.

      “I believe recovery will be a long process,” he said.

      This is the latest blow to Nebraska’s farmers, who have seen a 60 percent decrease in income in the past five years, Wellman said, and who lost more than $1 billion between June and November of last year because of international trade wars, according to the Nebraska Farm Bureau.

      Even as waters recede from parts of the affected areas, the waters of the Missouri River — which runs from South Dakota, along the borders of Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas, and through Missouri — will continue to rise throughout the week as the flooding makes it way downstream.

      High-stakes Boeing inquiry hinges on Ethiopia black box secrets – Reuters

      ADDIS ABABA/PARIS/WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Europe and Canada said they would seek their own guarantees over the safety of Boeing’s 737 MAX, further complicating plans to get the aircraft flying worldwide after they were grounded in the wake of two accidents killing more than 300 people.

      As the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) analyses Boeing’s plans for a software fix prompted by the first crash five months ago, the European Union’s aviation safety agency EASA promised its own deep look at any design improvements.

      “We will not allow the aircraft to fly if we have not found acceptable answers to all our questions,” EASA Executive Director Patrick Ky told an EU parliament committee hearing.

      “This is a personal guarantee that I make in front of you,” he added.

      Canada said it would independently certify the 737 MAX in the future, rather than accepting FAA validation. It also said it would send a team to help U.S. authorities evaluate proposed design changes and decide if others were needed.

      Boeing Co declined to comment.

      U.S. government officials do not believe the crash will lead to a worldwide shift away from FAA certifications but U.S. lawmakers, as well as federal prosecutors, are scrutinizing the certification of the Boeing 737 MAX.  

      The FAA declined to comment on individual actions by Canada or other countries, but said in a statement that “the current, historic aviation safety record in the U.S. and globally is achieved through the FAA’s robust processes and full collaboration with the aviation community.”

      The U.S. Transportation Department’s inspector general plans to audit the FAA’s certification of the jet, an official with the office said on Tuesday.

      The unusual public intervention by two leading regulators came as a probe into the final minutes of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 turned toward secrets hidden in the cockpit voice recorder.

      The voices of Captain Yared Getachew and First Officer Ahmednur Mohammed could help explain the March 10 crash of the Boeing 737 MAX that has worrying parallels with another disaster involving the same model off Indonesia in October.

      The twin disasters killed 346 people, but there is no conclusive evidence so far that they are linked.

      Black box data was downloaded in France but only Ethiopian experts leading the probe have access to the dialogue between Getachew, 29, and Mohammed, 25. The data was back in Addis Ababa on Tuesday, sources familiar with the probe told Reuters.

      Related Coverage

      Experts believe a new automated system in Boeing’s flagship MAX fleet – intended to stop stalling by dipping the nose – may have played a role in both crashes, with pilots unable to override it as their jets plunged downwards.

      Both came down just minutes after take-off after erratic flight patterns and loss of control reported by the pilots. However, every accident is a unique chain of human and technical factors, experts say.

      The prestige of Ethiopian Airlines, one of Africa’s most successful companies, and Boeing, the world’s biggest planemaker and a massive U.S. exporter, are at stake.

      AWKWARD QUESTIONS FOR INDUSTRY

      Lawmakers and safety experts are questioning how thoroughly regulators vetted the MAX model and how well pilots were trained on new features. For now, global regulators have grounded the existing fleet of more than 300 MAX aircraft, and deliveries of nearly 5,000 more – worth well over $500 billion – are on hold.

      Pressure on Chicago-headquartered Boeing has grown with news that federal prosecutors are scrutinizing how carefully the MAX model was developed, two people briefed on the matter said.

      The U.S. Justice Department is also looking at the FAA’s oversight of Boeing, one of the people said. And a federal grand jury last week issued at least one subpoena to an entity involved in the plane’s development.

      In the hope of getting its MAX line back into the air soon, Boeing has said it will roll out a software update and revise pilot training. In the case of the Lion Air crash in Indonesia, it has raised questions about whether crew used the correct procedures.

      Development of the 737 MAX, which offers cost savings of about 15 percent on fuel, began in 2011 after the successful launch by its main rival of the Airbus A320neo. The 737 MAX entered service in 2017 after six years of preparation.

      Argus Research cut Boeing stock to “hold” from “buy”, giving the planemaker at least its fourth downgrade since the crash, Refinitiv data showed. Its shares, however, were enjoying a rare respite on Tuesday, up 0.4 percent at $373.62.

      GLOBAL RAMIFICATIONS

      Various firms are reconsidering Boeing orders, and some are revising financial forecasts given they now cannot count on maintenance and fuel savings factored in from the MAX.

      Air Canada said it intended to keep its MAX aircraft grounded until at least July 1, would accelerate intake of recently acquired Airbus A321 planes, and had hired other carriers to provide extra capacity meantime.

      Beyond the corporate ramifications, anguished relatives are still waiting to find out what happened.

      Many have visited the crash site in a charred field to seek some closure, but there is anger at the slow pace of information and all they have been given for funerals is earth.

      “I’m just so terribly sad. I had to leave here without the body of my dead brother,” said Abdulmajid Shariff, a Yemeni relative who headed home disappointed on Tuesday.

      ‘You’ll all be my guests at Mar-a-Lago’: An explosive New York Times report highlights Deutsche Bank’s $2 billion in loans to Trump – Business Insider
      ‘You’ll all be my guests at Mar-a-Lago’: An explosive New York Times report highlights Deutsche Bank’s $2 billion in loans to Trump – Business Insider

      The New York Times just reported an explosive piece about President Donald Trump’s history with Deutsche Bank, saying the German bank lent the real-estate mogul about $2 billion during their relationship.

      The president’s association with the struggling German lender was born in the late 1990s, when major Wall Street firms stopped loaning Trump money after a series of disastrous ventures such as the Trump Shuttle airline and Trump’s Atlantic City, New Jersey, casinos.

      Read more: New report claims Trump received about $2 billion in loans from Deutsche Bank

      Trump’s history with Deutsche Bank is part of multiple investigations into the president and his businesses. The special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation is reportedly looking in to the relationship, as are congressional committees and the New York Attorney General’s Office.

      Some of the highlights from The Times:

      • Deutsche Bank cumulatively loaned Trump more than $2 billion over two decades when he was in real estate, according to The New York Times. He reportedly owes the bank about $360 million.

      • The Times described Trump as once making promises to the reluctant Deutsche bond salesmen tasked with raising buyers for Trump’s bonds. “If you get this done, you’ll all be my guests at Mar-a-Lago,” Trump reportedly said of his private club in Florida. Trump flew about 15 salesmen to the resort on his private plane, The Times said. A year later, in 2004, Trump Hotels & Casino Resorts defaulted on the bonds.

      • He filed a lawsuit against the bank in 2008, days before part of a loan used to build Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago was due, claiming the financial collapse that year was an act of God.

      • Trump borrowed money from one part of Deutsche Bank to pay off a loan from another, in what The Times called “an extraordinary act of financial chutzpah.”

      • “Deutsche Bank’s leaders repeatedly saw red flags surrounding Mr. Trump,” The Times said.
      • The Times said that Deutsche Bank, bracing for more scrutiny after Trump was elected president, ordered employees not to “publicly utter the word ‘Trump.'”
      • Trump inflated his net worth on several occasions. He once said he was worth about $3 billion, but the bank said it was more like $788 million — yet Deutsche Bank continued to work with him.
      • Trump continued to get loans from the bank as recently as 2015, when a $170 million loan was underwritten for the transformation of the Old Post Office building in Washington.

      The New York Times piece adds to other explosive details about the links between Trump and Deutsche Bank in recent years:

      • Prior to Trump’s election, The Washington Post reported that he owed roughly $360 million to the bank, with about $125 million in two mortgages for one of the president’s major Florida golf courses, Trump National Doral.
      • Deutsche Bank has been accused of doing inadequate due diligence on its clients after it was linked to both the Danske Bank and Troika Laundromat money-laundering scandals.
      • Deutsche Bank, the biggest bank in Germany, was, according to Bloomberg, worried about chasing $340 million in loans from a sitting president so considered rewriting the terms.
      • It has been a rough time for Deutsche Bank: The share price has tumbled dramatically in recent months after its offices were raided and it missed its fourth-quarter revenue targets.

      “We remain committed to cooperating with authorized investigations,” Kerrie McHugh, a Deutsche Bank spokeswoman, told The Times, which also said the White House referred questions to the Trump Organization. A company spokeswoman, Amanda Miller, declined to comment to The Times.

      Deutsche Bank did not immediately respond to Business Insider requests for comment.
