Michael Cohen can’t wait for prison so he’s rejecting pardons he was never offered – Washington Examiner
Michael Cohen can’t wait for prison so he’s rejecting pardons he was never offered – Washington Examiner

That Michael Cohen is proudly declaring he doesn’t want a pardon from federal prison time doesn’t make him the hero he thinks it does.

The only reason anyone would say that, as Cohen did during his embarrassing testimony in front of Congress last week, is that he knew a pardon from President Trump was never in the cards. And that’s what the Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.

Cohen’s current attorney, Lanny Davis, confirmed to the Journal that after Cohen’s New York office was raided by the FBI last spring, he directed his then-lawyer Stephen Ryan to consult Trump’s attorneys about a possible pardon, should he face charges.

The report contradicts Cohen’s congressional testimony, wherein he boasted that he “never asked for, nor would I accept, a pardon from Mr. Trump.”

It’s was a dramatic moment in American history only paralleled by George Washington as a child vowing that he could not tell a lie.

Cohen could have stopped at the “I never asked for” and it would have been sufficient, if not truthful. But he had to go the extra mile and express his dedication to imprisonment.

The Journal’s report says that lawyers for Trump all rebuffed Cohen’s initial overture for a pardon, though one of the lawyers, Rudy Giuliani, didn’t completely shut the door on the possibility of it in the future.

Cohen wanted a pardon and when it wasn’t offered, he decided he’d say on national television that he didn’t want it anyway. Davis, his lawyer, said as far back as mid-December in an interview on CBS that Cohen “wouldn’t take a pardon from Donald Trump if it was handed to him.” Here are other things Cohen will under no circumstance accept from Donald Trump: $1 billion dollars, a chest of diamonds, and a hug.

On North Korea, Trump needs to go back to the drawing board – Washington Examiner
On North Korea, Trump needs to go back to the drawing board – Washington Examiner

In the days since President Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ended their talks in Hanoi, Vietnam, the after-action reports and commentary have fallen back on the lack of a nuclear agreement between Washington and Pyongyang. Trump administration officials have spent the preceding week defining the summit as a success due to Trump’s willingness to walk away from the table. South Korean President Moon Jae-in, meanwhile, is doing everything in his power to keep the U.S.-North Korea diplomatic track alive.

All of the coverage about who won and lost in Hanoi, however, is nothing but a substance-free Washington, D.C., parlor-game. The real takeaway of the summit is that the Kim regime will not denuclearize regardless of what the United States offers at the negotiating table. The sooner Washington finally comes to this realization, the sooner the White House can shift its concentration on the paramount U.S. national security objective: the avoidance of a war and the ushering of a peace on the Korean Peninsula.

America’s superior military capacity has kept the United States secure from a North Korean attack ever since the Korean War concluded more than 65 years ago. Deterrence and the certainty of an overwhelming, forceful U.S. response has deterred the Kim regime from even thinking about utilizing its nuclear weapons for offensive purposes. Successive U.S. administrations, however, have continued to underestimate their deterrent power and ability to keep Pyongyang in check.

U.S. policy on North Korea over the last 25 years has been based on the lofty idea that Pyongyang’s unilateral nuclear disarmament is possible. American presidents as far back as Bill Clinton have engaged the North Koreans in bilateral and multilateral diplomacy for exactly this purpose. Clinton offered political and economic normalization to North Korea as rewards for the Kim regime’s nuclear dismantlement. The George W. Bush administration did much the same thing, promising to “take steps to normalize [U.S.-North Korean] relations” in the event of Pyongyang’s denuclearization. Trump’s approach in Vietnam was in many ways a reaffirmation of previous U.S. policy — start dismantling your nukes, and you will see economic profits beyond your wildest dreams.

Predictably, the North Koreans weren’t buying it. At the end of two days of talks, the result wasn’t the one the president was looking for.

It’s time for a fresh approach. As the parties conduct an assessment of the latest summit, Washington needs to come to the unvarnished reality that Kim Jong Un is absolutely not going to eliminate his nuclear weapons arsenal — certainly not now, probably not ever.

With the exception of South Africa in the last years of apartheid, no country has spent untold billions of dollars over decades building an indigenous nuclear weapons program with tens of nuclear warheads in the stockpile, only to get rid of it for the promise of sanctions relief. Kim doesn’t appear like the kind of man who will be the first.

Just because it’s uncomfortable for the foreign policy establishment to admit doesn’t make it any less true.

If Trump hopes to make any forward progress on the North Korea issue, he must set his sights on what is realistic and most important: tranquility on the Korean Peninsula and non-adversarial relations between Washington and Pyongyang. The United States has had constructive relations with nuclear adversaries in the past, from the Soviet Union in the 1950s to Pakistan in the 1990s. U.S. officials may not have found it particularly attractive, but they recognized diplomatic communication was a necessary part of conducting effective, principled statecraft in a highly complicated and multidimensional world.

While North Korea’s denuclearization could remain a long-term aspiration, Washington should not preface the opportunity of a peace regime on the Korean Peninsula on accomplishing this ideal. Indeed, insisting on it is hardwired for the same floundering inertia that has guided Washington’s North Korea policy for more than a generation.

Before U.S. and North Korean diplomats come back to the negotiating table, Trump should radically change his strategy. Instead of re-submitting a grand denuclearization-for-normalization deal that demands a total dismantlement of Pyongyang’s weapons of mass destruction and missile programs in its entirety (one Kim Jong Un will again reject) the president should deliver a message to Kim that he is willing to explore better diplomatic relations and open to supporting specific inter-Korean economic projects if his regime ceases threatening the U.S. and its allies and stops selling weapons of mass destruction technology around the world.

Critics will harshly condemn this change-of-approach as an undeserved, U.S. reward to one of the most vile regimes on the planet. Yet many of these critics are the same people who were intricately involved in the decades of policy failure that has produced neither peace on the Korean Peninsula or a rollback of North Korea’s nuclear capability.

The Washington policy community should no longer fall into the trap of seeing peace as a leverage point or a chip to be used in exchange for concessions from the other side. This is especially the case when the concession Washington is hoping for (a North Korea stripped of its entire nuclear infrastructure) is completely unrealistic.

There may come a time in Kim’s later years when he begins to believe that a nuclear weapons deterrent is no longer required for his country’s security. Stranger things have happened in history. Yet Kim is nowhere near this point today, and it’s highly unlikely he will be anytime soon.

Trump campaigned on being a president who would speak hard-truths to the public and shake the policy establishment out of its bad habits. A policy evolution on North Korea would be a chance for him to do both.

The North Korean nuclear weapons program is not a problem to be solved. At best, it’s one to be managed. With a decision by the president to embrace courageous diplomacy with more realistic goals, the United States will have the tools to more effectively manage it and keep the public secure.

Trump’s ex-campaign boss Paul Manafort could get 24 years at sentencing hearing Thursday – CNBC
Trump’s ex-campaign boss Paul Manafort could get 24 years at sentencing hearing Thursday – CNBC

Politics

Paul Manafort faces the first of two sentencing hearings Thursday — and special counsel Robert Mueller says President Donald Trump‘s ex-campaign chairman deserves significant prison time.

A federal judge in Alexandria, Virginia, could give the 69-year-old Manafort a sentence of 19 to 24 years in prison, along with millions of dollars in fines, as federal guidelines suggest. In a separate case in federal court in Washington, Manafort could receive a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.

Manafort’s sentencing dates, scheduled for Thursday at 3:30 p.m.ET in Virginia and Wednesday in Washington, mark the end of a long, steep and very public fall for the formerly high-powered political operative.

Manafort was convicted last year in Virginia on eight counts, including tax fraud, bank fraud and failing to file a foreign bank account report. The charges, lodged by Mueller as part of his probe of Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign, mostly related to work Manafort did years earlier as a consultant for a pro-Russia political party in Ukraine.



On the eve of his second trial in Washington, Manafort cut a plea agreement to cooperate with Mueller’s team. But that deal fell apart months later when Manafort was accused of lying to the prosecutors.

Attorneys for Manafort argued Friday that their client deserved a much lighter sentence than the one calculated by federal sentencing guidelines. Manafort is a first-time offender, they said, and “the Special Counsel’s attempt to vilify Mr. Manafort as a lifelong and irredeemable felon is beyond the pale and grossly overstates the facts.”

Mueller pushed back in a Tuesday night filing in the Virginia court, laying out a multipronged argument for why the request for leniency from the former political operative’s attorneys should be ignored at his sentencing.

The special counsel accused Manafort of failing to take responsibility for his crimes, and for the additional wrongdoing he is alleged to have done since his initial indictment. Mueller said in that filing that Manafort tampered with witnesses while on bail — a charge that landed him in jail pending trial — and lied to the government and Mueller’s grand jury on a variety of subjects after agreeing to cooperate with its investigations.

Based on this, Mueller, argued, “there is no reason to believe” that Manafort does not pose a risk of committing more crimes in the future.

“Manafort’s effort to shift the blame to others — as he did at trial — is not consistent with acceptance of responsibility or a mitigating factor. Manafort has failed to accept that he is responsible for the criminal choices that bring him to this Court for sentencing,” Mueller wrote.

Impeachment quest lets AOC types set the Democrats’ agenda – Washington Examiner
Impeachment quest lets AOC types set the Democrats’ agenda – Washington Examiner

Has the Democratic Party reduced its chances of denying President Trump a second term by continuing to concentrate on throwing him out before the end of his first? You can make a good case that it has.

Democrats have been itching to oust Trump since the days before he took the oath of office. Obama administration law enforcement and intelligence agencies launched investigations into candidate Trump’s campaign, contrary to the general rule that such agencies avoid interfering with electoral politics.

Astonishingly, they relied primarily (if not exclusively) on information bought and paid for by the Clinton campaign, the Steele dossier. FBI Director James Comey briefed its most salacious allegation to the incoming president, an act he presumably considered a form of blackmail.

The supposition, breathlessly reported almost daily by certain cable news channels, is that candidate Trump was in criminal collusion with Vladimir Putin’s Russia. But the air has fizzled out of that balloon. Special counsel Robert Mueller, after nearly two years, has produced no indictments pointing to such collusion.

The only collusion that has had a political effect is the belief, held by many Democratic voters, that the Russians somehow switched hundreds of thousands of votes by computer hacking or through a handful of diabolically clever Facebook ads. Many such people bitterly cling to their belief that Trump’s impeachment and removal from office is imminent.

Democratic politicians evidently feel compelled to cater to this delusion, even as it becomes apparent that the Mueller investigation will soon end without any recommendation or basis for it.

Incoming House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., promises that he will conduct extensive hearings. “There is an abundance of evidence of collusion,” Schiff has said, but he has not set it out. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler was not much more forthcoming on ABC News last weekend. “We do not have the evidence all sorted out and everything to do — to do an impeachment,” he said.

“Before you impeach somebody, you have to persuade the American public that it ought to happen. You have to persuade enough of the — of the opposition party voters, Trump voters, that you’re not just trying to — that you’re not just trying to steal the last — to reverse the results of the last election.” My Washington Examiner colleague Byron York takes that to mean that “Democrats have decided to impeach Trump and are now simply doing the legwork involved.” The Federalist’s Mollie Hemingway reached the same conclusion listening to a Nadler Acela cellphone chat the day after last November’s election.

If so, they’d be moving on shaky ground. Nadler says it’s “very clear” Trump has obstructed justice, but his first example — referring to the Mueller investigation as a “witch hunt” — is unpersuasive. That’s probably not an impeachable offense, even to many of the 35 percent who told Quinnipiac this month that Congress should start impeachment proceedings now.

It’s now 28 months since the last presidential election, and only 20 months until the next one. In April 2007, after Democrats had just won congressional majorities, Nadler brushed aside calls to impeach President George W. Bush. “The timing is all wrong,” he told the Washington Times back then. “If this were the first two years of his administration I would advocate impeachment. A lot of people at home say impeachment, and I’m sure he committed a lot of impeachable offenses, but think about it practically.”

“At home” for Nadler is upscale parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn — areas thick with the urban white college graduates who, with blacks and Hispanics, are Democrats’ strongest constituencies. On many issues these days, even on racial issues, they’re the party’s most left-wing bloc. And probably the voters most determined to oust and humiliate the vulgar arriviste Donald Trump.

Urban, white college grads have had the highest turnout rates in mayoral elections in New York two years ago and in Chicago this year; blacks and Hispanics, in contrast to past decades, were less interested. Urban whites also were the chief group surging Democratic in 2018 elections in Florida and Texas, according to Republican analyst Patrick Ruffini.

It was young, white college grads and gentrifiers who elected Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in her Queens-Bronx upset last June, and her Green New Deal proposals, such as the move toward eliminating beef and private cars, appeal more to that group than to blacks and Hispanics.

The pursuit of impeachment looks like one more example of Democrats letting AOC types set their agenda. It will distract them from developing policies that will enthuse minorities and appeal to suburbanites whose votes they’ll need next year.

    Rank-and-file Dems revolt against Pelosi over resolution to condemn anti-Semitism – Fox News
    Rank-and-file Dems revolt against Pelosi over resolution to condemn anti-Semitism – Fox News

    Accusations of anti-Semitism against Rep Omar dividing Congress

    Author Victor Davis Hanson weighs in on Democrats’ divide over Omar’s controversial comments.

    House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is “taken aback” by the growing dissent and anger among rank-and-file Democrats over a possible resolution to formally condemn anti-Semitism, a Democratic source told Fox News on Wednesday — highlighting Pelosi’s tenuous grip on control over the House and underscoring the growing power of the party’s nascent far-left progressive wing.

    Pelosi even reportedly walked out of a meeting Wednesday with Democrat House members, setting down her microphone and telling attendees, “Well if you’re not going to listen to me, I’m done talking.”

    The stalled resolution originated after freshman Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, for at least the second time in recent months, ignited an uproar for echoing tropes critics have deemed anti-Semitic. In February, she suggested on Twitter that supporters of Israel have been bought. The congresswoman then accused American supporters of Israel of pushing people to have “allegiance to a foreign country.”

    Omar — who also tweeted in 2012 that “Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel” — refused to address questions on Wednesday about accusations that she’s anti-Semitic.

    Meanwhile, debate over how to address her latest remarks has overtaken House Democrats in recent days.

    A frustrated senior House Democratic aide told Fox News on Tuesday: “Here we are again, fighting with ourselves. I’ve spent another week dealing with this and not on policy.”

    ON THE STREETS IN OMAR’S DISTRICT: SOMALI GANGS, LITTLE COMMUNICATING WITH COPS

    A vote on the resolution, which was originally planned for earlier this week, did not appear on the House’s official docket for Thursday.

    President Trump, turning to Twitter on Wednesday, highlighted Democrats’ troubles getting the resolution passed. He wrote that their failure to “take a stronger stand” against anti-Semitism was “shameful.”

    Fox News has been told that the Democratic caucus is trying to get the language of the proposed anti-Semitism language “right,” and that there is concern about mentioning Omar by name — a non-starter for many members of the Congressional Black Caucus.

    Two knowledgable sources said such a scenario could increase security threats against Omar, who is a Muslim.

    Republicans did not specifically name Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, in a bipartisan disapproval measure that followed comments that seemingly defended white nationalism earlier this year. But GOP leaders stripped King of his committee assignments as punishment — while Omar remains on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Democrats say they have no plans to oust her.

    By the same token, Fox is told Democrats are also concerned about making “a martyr” out of Omar if they don’t address some of her controversial comments.

    TRUMP, WHO MOVED US EMBASSY TO JERUSALEM, CALLS OMAR’S COMMENTS ‘SHAMEFUL’ AND SAYS SHE NEEDS TO GO

    “I’ve spent another week dealing with this and not on policy.”

    Pelosi, for her part, was stunned by criticism among some Democratic members who complained they weren’t informed in detail about the resolution; freshman Rep. Jahana Hayes, D-Conn., for example, asserted the Democratic leadership team failed in its duty to inform members about the resolution’s details.

    But senior leadership sources scofffed at that assertion, saying Pelosi spoke with multiple lawmakers all weekend long about the measure.

    Fox News was also told one senior House Democratic lawmaker expressed concern about the influence pro-Israel interest groups have over the Democratic caucus, prompting debate about a resolution to condemn anti-Semitism in the first place. Their complaints came in contrast to the push by a trio of Jewish lawmakers who have pushed hardest for the resolution: House Ethics Committee Chairman Ted Deutch, D-Fla., House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., and House Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Nita Lowey, D-N.Y.

    One senior House Democrat even suggested the rift in the caucus was emblematic of age-old tensions between Pelosi and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md.

    “He’s more AIPAC,” said the Democrat. “She’s more J Street. The caucus is more J Street these days.” That’s a reference to two major, pro-Israel lobbying organizations in Washington.

    FARRAKHAN TELLS ‘SWEETHEART’ OMAR NOT TO APOLOGIZE FOR SAYING JEWISH POLITICAL SUPPORT IS ALL ABOUT MONEY

    The apparent tension comes as freshman Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib — who herself has been accused of recent anti-Semitic comments — also clashed with party leadership on Wednesday, after joining protesters to say she’d introduce a resolution this month urging the Judiciary Committee to move forward with impeachment proceedings against President Trump. Pelosi has consistently resisted calls to impeach Trump, saying such an effort would be premature.

    A senior House Democratic leadership aide, however, disputed the divide between Pelosi and Hoyer.

    Lawmakers are also buzzing about if they should even address the comments by Omar at all. There’s a concern about precedent.

    “Should the House condemn [House Minority Leader] Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., for what he said about George Soros?” asked one lawmaker who requested to not be identified. In 2018, McCarthy tweeted: “We cannot allow Soros, Steyer and Bloomberg to BUY this election! Get out and vote Republican November 6th. #MAGA.” (Soros, Steyer and Bloomberg all are of Jewish heritage.

    McCarthy has since deleted the tweet.

    One source questioned if House Democrats ever attempted to rebuke former Rep. Cynthia McKinney, D-Ga., who was known for questioning if President George W. Bush knew of the 9/11 attacks ahead of time. She also questioned U.S. support for Israel and demanded a more balanced approach when dealing with the Palestinians.

    The prolonged delay in passing an anti-Semitism resolution — which threatens to become a public-relations headache for Democrats with each passing day — spilled over into the 2020 presidential race as well on Wednesday, as White House contender Bernie Sanders, who is Jewish, defended Omar in a statement.

    “Anti-Semitism is a hateful and dangerous ideology which must be vigorously opposed in the United States and around the world,” Sanders wrote. “We must not, however, equate anti-Semitism with legitimate criticism of the right-wing, Netanyahu government in Israel. Rather, we must develop an even-handed Middle East policy which brings Israelis and Palestinians together for a lasting peace. What I fear is going on in the House now is an effort to target Congresswoman Omar as a way of stifling that debate. That’s wrong.”

    Added Elizabeth Warren: “Branding criticism of Israel as automatically anti-Semitic has had a chilling effect on our public discourse and makes it harder to achieve a peaceful solution between Israelis and Palestinians.”

    ‘Not my fault’: Trump struggles to defend his record amid setbacks on immigration, trade, North Korea – The Washington Post
    ‘Not my fault’: Trump struggles to defend his record amid setbacks on immigration, trade, North Korea – The Washington Post

    March 6 at 6:54 PM

    President Trump proclaimed in a freewheeling speech to a conference of conservatives last weekend that “America is winning again.” But his administration has been on a pronounced losing streak over the past week.

    Trump is losing ground on top priorities to curb illegal immigration, cut the trade deficit and blunt North Korea’s nuclear threat — setbacks that complicate his planned reelection message as a can-do president who is making historic progress.

    Late last week, Trump flew home empty-handed from a summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Hanoi — and, within days, new satellite images appeared to show that the North was secretly rebuilding a rocket-launching site.

    On Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security announced that unauthorized border crossings have spiked to the highest pace in 12 years — despite Trump’s hard-line rhetoric and new policies aimed at deterring migrants.

    And on Wednesday, the Commerce Department said that the nation’s trade deficit is at a record high — in part due to punitive tariffs Trump imposed on allies and adversaries. Trump vowed throughout his 2016 campaign and during his presidency to shrink the trade deficit, which he views as a measure of other nations taking advantage of the United States.

    “The president hasn’t shown much of an ability to cut good deals with Congress or anyone else,” said Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Tex.), who is mulling a Senate run in 2020. “Almost the only time he has been successful at one of his goals is when he can set the terms unilaterally. That’s why he’s done a lot of executive orders, executive actions, like the travel ban, deregulations, emergency declaration. Those are things that don’t require any negotiation at all.”

    Trump took office on a pledge to buck conventional wisdom, sideline Washington’s political class and tackle long-standing problems with a mix of outside-the-box improvisation and dealmaking skills honed during his real estate career. “I alone can fix it,” he declared at the Republican National Convention in 2016.

    Yet as he has struggled to fulfill some of his signature campaign promises, Trump has consistently blamed others for his woes.

    He has criticized the administrations of President Barack Obama and President George W. Bush for not reforming the immigration system or reining in North Korea. He has railed at Democrats for failing to support his proposed border wall and implored them to ratify new trade deals. And he has even attacked fellow Republicans, obliquely slamming former House speaker Paul D. Ryan (Wis.) during a Rose Garden news conference last month for not having pushed faster to get a deal on the wall.

    White House officials argued that rather than being a setback, the immigration trends could bolster Trump’s argument that he is justified in taking unilateral action on the border. Federal authorities detained 76,103 migrants at the southern border in February, up from 58,207 a month earlier.

    Press secretary Sarah Sanders said Wednesday that the numbers were clear evidence that Trump was right to declare a national emergency last month.

    “If that doesn’t define crisis, I don’t know what does,” she said. “Congress should have fixed this problem. The president tried multiple times to get Congress to work with him to address the crisis. They failed to do so, and now the president has to do what is absolutely necessary.”

    Republican allies praised the president for eliminating business regulations, helping pass a major tax cut in 2017, appointing two conservative Supreme Court justices and scores of lower-level judges, and nurturing an economy with low unemployment.

    They emphasized that challenges such as North Korea will take time and chided Democrats for blocking Trump’s agenda.

    “The House is just involved in investigations and really not concerned about legislation,” said Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.).

    Sen. David Perdue (R-Ga.) said Trump is “very frustrated right now with all of us. He wants to get results and we’re looking at a two-year period where it’s pretty obvious the other side doesn’t want to do anything.”

    But Trump’s critics said his policies have made things worse.

    On immigration, the administration has sought to block asylum seekers at legal ports of entry along the border, prompting them to try to find alternative pathways into the country. The president shut down parts of the federal government for 35 days — the longest such closure in U.S. history — in an ill-fated fight for border wall funding, even though experts said the surge of migrant families is not a threat to national security and that a wall would do little to curb it.

    On trade, Trump’s tariff war with China has harmed U.S. farmers as Beijing slashed agricultural imports. Although the president has signaled that a trade deal is close, analysts said an accord would not fundamentally alter the U.S. trade relationship with the world’s second-largest economy.

    And on North Korea, officials have said, the president’s decision to rush forward with bilateral summits with Kim have led to difficulties for U.S. negotiators engaging with their counterparts over technical and complicated nuclear matters, as Kim has preferred to deal directly with Trump.

    Simon Rosenberg, founder of NDN, a liberal think tank, noted that the tax cut has not met GOP projections for economic growth and could add significantly to the ballooning federal deficit.

    “The reality is he can’t point to a single thing that’s better today than when he came to office,” Rosenberg said.

    Although he has projected confidence, Trump has fretted in private over his difficulties. During the government shutdown, the president’s approval ratings dipped to 37 percent in a Washington Post/ABC News poll, one of the lowest marks of his tenure.

    Since then, his numbers have fluctuated. This week, a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll put his approval at 46 percent, while a Quinnipiac University survey pegged it at 38 percent.

    During a marathon speech Saturday to the Conservative Political Action Committee, Trump veered off script, spending much of the time attacking his rivals, including congressional Democrats, special counsel Robert S. Mueller III and news organizations. Trump spent less time on his governing record.

    On trade, he defended his use of tariffs and suggested the United States had accrued large trade deficits because past administrations were afraid to use that tool as leverage. On North Korea, he blamed the Obama administration for allowing the Kim regime to send “rockets flying all over the place” and said his team was “making a lot of progress.” On immigration, Trump called current U.S. laws “crazy” and said he felt empowered to declare a national emergency “because our Congress can’t act.”

    “Not my fault I inherited this mess, but we’re fixing it,” he said during the speech.

    Trump at times also appears determined to prove that he is making progress. He publicly contradicted his own intelligence chiefs, who testified to Congress in January that there is no evidence that North Korea is willing to give up its nuclear program.

    Asked by a reporter Wednesday about the satellite images that showed construction work at the ­Sohae Satellite Launching Station, Trump said he would be “very disappointed” if the news is confirmed, but he added that it was “a very early report.”

    Senior White House aides have sought to cast the Hanoi summit as a sign of Trump’s negotiating fortitude and unwillingness to settle for a bad deal. Yet Trump has grown frustrated by the largely negative coverage of the summit, a senior White House official said, and his aides briefed lawmakers this week to explain his goals. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity to characterize internal discussions.

    “He thought they closed the gap on some issues,” Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) said. “He just said, ‘North Korea isn’t ready to make a deal.’ ”

    Last year, Trump berated Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen over the rising border crossings. Though he no longer blames Nielsen, aides said, Trump told his staff that the shutdown dispute sent an important message to his conservative base that he is fighting for them.

    On trade, Trump postponed a March 1 deadline to impose another round of tariffs on China in hopes of a deal. White House aides are planning events for Trump and Vice President Pence in the Midwest this spring to tout an updated trade deal reached last year with Canada and Mexico that Congress has yet to ratify.

    Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) said in an interview that farmers support Trump but are growing antsy.

    “These folks are with you, they want to see you be successful,” Rounds said, speaking as if he was sending a message to Trump. “But you’re going to have to deliver some results.”

    John Kelly differs with Trump on immigration, mum on security clearances – NBC News
    John Kelly differs with Trump on immigration, mum on security clearances – NBC News

    DURHAM, N.C. — Former White House chief of staff John Kelly said he disagreed with some Trump administration policies — particularly on immigration — but dodged questions Wednesday about the president reportedly intervening to secure top-secret security clearances for his daughter Ivanka Trump and son–in–law, Jared Kushner.

    Kelly, in an appearance at Duke University, did not deny reports that President Donald Trump circumvented the usual process to grant the security clearances or that he later wrote a memo outlining his concerns about it. He simply said he believes any such conversations with the president would be privileged and that he’s not at liberty to discuss security clearances.

    It was a notable contrast to Kelly’s aggressive pushback on news reports while in the White House about his actions and relationship with Trump. On Wednesday he even stressed several times the importance of a free press.

    Relatively subdued and cautious, Kelly landed some gloved swipes on his former boss — at one point saying if Trump’s former Democratic rival had won the presidency and asked him to serve, he would have worked for her.

    “If Hillary Clinton had called me, I would have done it,” Kelly said.

    The wide-ranging question-and-answer session before several hundred people marked the first time Kelly, who left the White House at the end of 2018 after a rocky tenure, has publicly addressed the president’s role in his family members’ security clearances.

    A retired four-star general, Kelly initially served as Trump’s Homeland Security secretary. But it was the chief of staff job he took in July 2017 that he said was “the least enjoyable job I’ve ever had.”

    “But it was he most important job I’ve ever had,” he said.

    Kelly, though diplomatic, showed repeatedly where he disagreed with Trump on immigration issues.

    On the administration’s handling of children at the southern border, he was critical, though he blamed then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions for catching the White House by surprise with the adoption of a “zero tolerance” policy.

    Contrary to Trump’s comments that many immigrants coming to the U.S. border are criminals, Kelly added: “And by the way, they’re overwhelmingly not criminals. They’re people coming up here for economic purposes. I don’t blame them for that.”

    He didn’t defend Trump’s decision to declare a national emergency to get funding for a border wall and said: “We don’t need a wall from sea to shining sea.”

    Kelly also expressed disagreement with deploying U.S. troops, even National Guard troops, to the border, as Trump did last fall before the midterm elections.

    “Generally speaking I would always look for another way to do it,” Kelly said.

    Asked about Trump’s executive order establishing a travel ban just days after taking office — while Kelly was Homeland Security secretary — he said it was a mistake made by inexperienced White House staff who didn’t run the policy through the usual process-gathering process for input from relevant government agencies.

    The White House staff “got a little bit maybe out in front if their skis,” he said.

    Kelly also defended the cost of maintaining the NATO alliance, the merits of which Trump has repeatedly questioned. And he took credit for initially organizing a series of briefings that convinced Trump not to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan and Syria.

    When Trump tapped Kelly as his chief of staff the White House had little internal structure and was largely seen as chaotic. Kelly didn’t seem eager for the job and spent his initial weeks trying to install process and order to the West Wing.

    Despite reports by NBC News and others that Kelly saw himself as the “adult in the room,” he denied taking that view.

    “In my view everyone in the room was an adult,” he said.

    When he decided it was time to leave, saying the job exhausted him, he joked that the advice he gave to his successor, acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, was: “Run for it.”

    Martha McSally Says She Is a Survivor of Sexual Assault in the Military – The New York Times
    Martha McSally Says She Is a Survivor of Sexual Assault in the Military – The New York Times

    Ms. McSally’s testimony was met with an outpouring of support from her fellow lawmakers, including her female colleagues who have pushed the Pentagon to more forcefully address the issue of sexual assault.

    Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Democrat of New York, who is running for president and who has made curbing sexual assault in the military one of her central policy goals, said she was grateful that Ms. McSally was present “and spoke that truth.”

    Ms. Gillibrand, the top Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Personnel that Ms. McSally addressed, offered a measure in 2013 that would have taken sexual assault cases outside of the military chain of command and given military prosecutors, rather than accusers’ commanders, the power to decide which cases to try, a potential sea change to the military justice system.

    That attempt failed, but in recent years, lawmakers have made changes to the military’s legal system, including ending the statute of limitations on assault and rape cases, making it a crime to retaliate against victims who report assaults and requiring the dishonorable discharge or the dismissal of anyone convicted of sexual assault or rape.

    In a Congress with historic numbers of women, Ms. McSally’s revelation was another instance of a female lawmaker stepping forward to share a personal experience of trauma.

    Senator Joni Ernst, Republican of Iowa, came forward in January to say that she had been sexually assaulted by her husband. Representative Katie Porter, Democrat of California and a single mother of three, has spoken openly about the domestic abuse she said she suffered in her marriage.

    Ms. Ernst said she sent Ms. McSally a message after her testimony, saying, “I love you and I support you.”

    Trump admin directed border agents to target Spanish speakers, Latin Americans: AP | TheHill – The Hill
    Trump admin directed border agents to target Spanish speakers, Latin Americans: AP | TheHill – The Hill

    The Trump administration has instructed border agents running an asylum program to target Spanish speakers and Latin American migrants, according to memos obtained by The Associated Press.

    The program was launched in late January to handle the cases of immigrants seeking asylum in the U.S. and initially only was applicable to those turning themselves in at border crossings.

    According to The Associated Press, a memo from a top Border Patrol official says the program expanded last week to include those illegally crossing the border.

    The memo also reportedly laid out instructions on who to allow through the traditional asylum process and who to send back to Mexico. Those allowed to go through traditional processes include LGBT migrants, pregnant women, Mexican asylum seekers, children traveling alone, and those in medical distress, according to the AP.

    Another directive in the memo reportedly orders border officials to check if those seeking asylum are convicted of any felonies and to notify Mexico at least 12 hours prior to their return. 

    Critics have pointed out that the program’s guidelines almost solely target Central Americans. 

    A second memo sent to top Border Patrol officials on Tuesday reportedly revealed that the agency is being pressured to employ the program as much as possible. Another memo obtained by the AP showed that the program is being expanded to include people who cross the border illegally between crossing points. 

    The news of the reported memos comes as the southwest border saw a significant jump last month in apprehensions and denials of people attempting to enter the United States.

    U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data shows that 66,450 people were apprehended after crossing the border between ports of entry in February, compared to 47,986 the previous month.

    The sharp increase in apprehensions was led by a continuing upward trend in crossings by family units, according to figures released by the administration.

    It’s unclear to what extent the higher numbers are due to a sustained increase in migrants fleeing Central America, or if the data are skewed by the behavioral changes of migrants, such as traveling in caravans and generally surrendering to authorities rather than sneaking in.

    Jeopardy’s Alex Trebek diagnosed with late-stage pancreatic cancer – Washington Examiner
    Jeopardy’s Alex Trebek diagnosed with late-stage pancreatic cancer – Washington Examiner

    Longtime host of the game show “Jeopardy!” Alex Trebek has been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer but vowed to fight the disease and continue to host the show as long as he can.

    “Just like 50,000 other people in the United States each year, this week I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer,” Trebek said in a video announcement. “Now normally, the prognosis for this is not very encouraging, but I’m going to fight this, and I’m going to keep working and with the love and support of my family and friends and with the help of your prayers also, I plan to beat the low survival rate statistics for this disease. Truth told, I have to, because under the terms of my contract, I have to host ‘Jeopardy’ for three more years. So, help me, keep the faith, and we’ll win. We’ll get it done. Thank you.”

    The 78-year-old Trebek said he wanted to publicly announce his diagnosis to keep with the spirit of transparency of the show and to avoid the spread of misinformation.

    The Canadian-American has hosted game shows in the U.S. since 1973 and began hosting the “Jeopardy!” reboot in 1984. He has helmed the show ever since.

    Trebek holds the record for the most game show episodes hosted by the same presenter from the Guinness Book of World Records. Trebek has recorded more than 7,000 episodes.

    Can Democrats love the voters Hillary hated? – Washington Examiner
    Can Democrats love the voters Hillary hated? – Washington Examiner

    Hillary Clinton rolled out new excuses for her loss, disenfranchisement in particular, but also promised not to run again. If Democrats are smart, they’ll ignore her excuses and take to heart the real lessons of 2016.

    The most important lesson from Hillary’s loss is this: Don’t hate the swing voters.

    Donald Trump won the White House by swinging tens of thousands or hundred of thousands of voters from Obama, and by bringing many other prior nonvoters out of the woodwork. Also, millions of Obama voters stayed home — a group that included hundreds thousands of working-class whites.

    With all these swings, Trump swung working-class counties in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin, enough to win all four states and the White House.

    Trump, at the same time, underperformed earlier Republicans in the wealthier parts of America.

    Hillary showed her true colors when she declared this result some sort of a victory. “If you look at the map of the United States,” she explained to an overseas audience, “there’s all that red in the middle where Trump won. I win the coast, I win, you know, Illinois and Minnesota, places like that.”

    What are the “places like that”?

    “I won the places that represent two-thirds of America’s gross domestic product,” she explained. “So I won the places that are optimistic, diverse, dynamic, moving forward. And his whole campaign, ‘Make America Great Again,’ was looking backwards.”

    The 2018 election furthered this division. Democrats took over the House of Representatives in part by picking up dozens of seats in upper-middle-class suburban districts. The new bragging point for Democrats is that they are the party of the highly educated and the successful. It allows for the self-serving explanation that people who know the real deal vote Democratic, and only the clueless bitter clingers vote Republican.

    The choice for 2020 is: Do Democrats prefer the pride of being the party of the elites, or are they willing to sully themselves by trying to win over the “backwards” places full of deplorable bitter clingers?

    If they want to win, they need to tune out Hillary and the commentators who insist that Trump’s base was purely racists —the folks who declare “ There’s no such thing as a good Trump voter.”

    This will involve accepting that working-class suffering is real — even for white people.

    The data tell the story clearly. Life expectancy in the U.S. is falling, driven by a sharp decline among working-class whites. Labor-force participation remains low, and the rates of men on disability remains high. Working-class marriage rates are falling, and out-of-wedlock births are rising among the working class.

    Behind all of this are decades of stagnating wages. But there’s something more important at play here: the collapse of community cohesion and local institutions of civil society.

    Too many liberal critics wave away the nostalgic-sounding laments about how America used to be great. To them, this is just the revanchist griping of old, straight, white dudes who are upset that their privilege is eroding. But when the population of your town is shrinking, when the churches and coffee shops are closing down, when the Memorial Day Parade has disappeared, there’s a real loss.

    Trump exploited that loss by promising he could bring back what used to be. Of course he can’t — in fact, turning to a strongman just exacerbates the problem of community erosion by drawing power and attention away from the human level. But Hillary played into Trump’s hands by trying to deny that the suffering was real, and by portraying all the changes as progress.

    Can any 2020 Democrats do better? Maybe. But right now it appears doubtful. Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio is reaching out for the working class, and willing to talk about the “dignity of work” — a concept many on the Left like to mock. But even he demeans the importance of community connections. He penned a snarky retort to an insightful David Brooks column recently.

    “Brooks, in ‘ It’s Not the Economy, Stupid’, writes: ‘It’s not jobs, jobs, jobs anymore. It’s relationships, relationships, relationships,’” Brown wrote. “Actually it’s wages, wages, wages.”

    This denial that social dissolution is a problem is the same sort of coldness that sunk Hillary.

    The suffering is real. The condescension is both heartless and politically destructive. Can the Democrats have enough heart to have a chance at beating Trump?

      Following a report about the close relationship between the network and the Trump White House, DNC Chairman Tom Perez said the party will not allow Fox News to host any of its primary debates in 2020.

      Updated at 3 p.m. ET

      The Democratic National Committee will not allow Fox News to broadcast any of its 2020 presidential primary debates, citing a recent report about the close relationship between the Trump administration and the conservative cable network.

      “I believe that a key pathway to victory is to continue to expand our electorate and reach all voters. That is why I have made it a priority to talk to a broad array of potential media partners, including FOX News,” DNC Chairman Tom Perez said in a statement Wednesday.

      “Recent reporting in the New Yorker on the inappropriate relationship between President Trump, his administration and FOX News has led me to conclude that the network is not in a position to host a fair and neutral debate for our candidates. Therefore, FOX News will not serve as a media partner for the 2020 Democratic primary debates,” the statement adds.

      The decision comes after a lengthy article by Jane Mayer in The New Yorker detailed the increasing coziness between President Trump and the network, which has long had a conservative tilt but that one source in the piece calls simply “propaganda” and effectively Trump’s “own press organization.”

      Former Fox News President Bill Shine is now the White House communications director, and Trump has given dozens of exclusive interviews to Fox while eschewing other networks, often deriding them as “fake news.” Host Sean Hannity has appeared as a special guest at Trump rallies, and in the New Yorker story, he is referred to as essentially “a West Wing adviser.”

      Among many other details in The New Yorker article, Mayer also writes that former Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes, who died in 2017, had tipped Trump off to some debate questions during the 2016 cycle. This includes a now-infamous clash with then-Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly over his past comments about women, though Kelly has said she does not believe Trump received the question in advance. Another source had allegedly alerted Trump there would be a question about whether he would eventually support the GOP nominee.

      In a statement, Fox News Senior Vice President Bill Sammon pointed to the network’s intent to have a debate hosted by its news anchors, as opposed to its prime-time opinion hosts, as evidence of why Democratic Party leadership should rethink the decision. Fox News was set to host one Democratic primary debate in 2016, but it was late in the primary campaign and never happened.

      “We hope the DNC will reconsider its decision to bar Chris Wallace, Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, all of whom embody the ultimate journalistic integrity and professionalism, from moderating a Democratic presidential debate,” Sammon said. “They’re the best debate team in the business, and they offer candidates an important opportunity to make their case to the largest TV news audience in America, which includes many persuadable voters.”

      Wallace, who also hosts Fox News Sunday, has often pushed back on the Trump administration, including a recent inaccurate talking point over how many terrorists were coming through the Southern border.

      Party committees expressing their frustration over news coverage by denying networks debates is nothing new. In 2015, the Republican National Committee announced they were suspending NBC News from hosting any future debates, citing “inaccurate or downright offensive” questions from a CNBC primary debate.

      Sean Spicer will cooperate with Judiciary Committee probe: "There’s nothing that I have to hide” – AOL

      Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer vowed to cooperate with the House Judiciary Committee probe into President Donald Trump’s businesses,  campaign and administration.

      “I will do everything to facilitate this investigation, and there’s nothing that I have to hide,” Spicer told Fox News in an interview Tuesday. “So I want a swift conclusion to this whole thing as soon as possible.”

      Spicer is one of the 81 individuals from whom Democrats are requesting documents as part of their investigation of possible power abuses. The extensive list includes Trump associates and family members, federal agencies and other organizations.

      Sean Spicer resigned as White House press secretary Friday in protest at a major shakeup of Donald Trump’s embattled administration, an official told AFP. Spicer — the administrations most recognizable face after the president — resigned after just six months in office, having been increasingly sidelined in recent weeks. Spicer reached breaking point on Friday, the White House official said, when Trump appointed Anthony Scaramucci to be the new communications director, a bid to reset the scandal-wracked administration.

      While Spicer acknowledged the committee’s responsibility to serve as a check on the executive branch, he called its work a “potential fishing expedition,” arguing that going through the president’s history of financial dealings seems a step too far.

      The motivation behind the committee’s dig for documents, Spicer implied, was a realization on behalf of Democrats “that while some people did some bad things, that there were some people that clearly interfered with the last election, that there was no collusion.”

      However, that assessment amounts to mere speculation, since special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election has yet to be released.

      MUST WATCH

      (CNN)President Donald Trump’s second summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un was floundering from the start — and it ended with a last-ditch effort by the North Koreans to keep the US at the negotiating table and stop Trump from walking away.

        Homeland Security secretary testifies: Live updates – CNN
        Homeland Security secretary testifies: Live updates – CNN

        According to her prepared testimony, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen will call the situation along the US-Mexico border a national security and humanitarian crisis, and double down on her support of President Donald Trump’s national emergency declaration.

        “Today we are seeing the results of a failure to act and a broken system,” she says in the testimony posted ahead of her appearance before the House Homeland Security Committee at 10am.  

        Her remarks draw on Customs and Border Protection data that show an influx of migrants crossing the border and paint a picture of an overwhelmed system.

        According to recently released CBP data, more than 76,000 people were apprehended or deemed inadmissible at a port of entry in February. Nielsen will testify that those figures are projected to increase and warn that DHS capacity is “already severely strained.”

        She also briefly touches on the so-called Migrant Protection Protocols, a policy that requires some asylum seekers to return to Mexico while they await their immigration court hearing, and describes it as a way to “dissuade those who intend to file false claims.”

        Nielsen urges Congress to pass legislation “to fix outdated laws and gaps in our authorities” — for example, doing away with the Flores Agreement, which requires that children be released from detention within 20 days, and reform asylum standards.

        While immigration and border security make up the bulk of her testimony, Nielsen will also highlight DHS efforts to respond to natural disasters and drug smuggling, and strengthen cybersecurity.

        Trump dealt blow as US trade deficit jumps – BBC News
        Trump dealt blow as US trade deficit jumps – BBC News

        The US trade gap with the rest of the world jumped to a 10-year high of $621bn (£472.5bn) last year, dealing a blow to President Donald Trump’s deficit reduction plan.

        The trade deficit is the difference between how much goods and services the US imports from other countries and how much it exports.

        Reducing the gap is a key plank of Mr Trump’s policies.

        But in 2018, the US exported fewer goods compared with how much it bought.

        Mr Trump claims that the US is being “ripped off” by other nations and wants countries to lower their tariffs on US goods and buy more of them.

        However, official data shows that while exports of US goods and services rose by $148.9bn last year, imports jumped by $217.7bn.

        It means that the gap is the widest since 2008, when the global financial crisis hit and the US fell into recession.

        The deficit in goods and services during December also hit a near 10-year high of $59.8bn.

        Exports to the rest of the world fell 1.9% to $205.1bn, while imports rose by 2.1% to $264.9bn.

        ‘Tariff man’

        The US is currently locked in a trade battle with China over what it claims are unfair trade practices, resulting in tit-for-tat tariff increases on each others’ goods.

        Both nations are in discussions and there is speculation they could reach an agreement by the end of March.

        New data shows that the trade gap between the US and China widened last year by $43.6bn to $419.2bn as exports of American products and services fell, but imports from China rose.

        Analysis: Michelle Fleury, BBC North America business correspondent

        It was one of Donald Trump’s signature campaign promises.

        Back in June 2016, he stood before a large crowd in Monessen, Pennsylvania and said that as President, he would reduce America’s ballooning trade deficit.

        Image copyright

        He called it “a political and politician-made disaster” and said “it can be corrected”.

        Only it hasn’t exactly turned out that way.

        Last year, Mr Trump introduced tariffs on steel and aluminium from around the globe and on a range of imports from China.

        The idea was that the tariffs would make imports more expensive, thereby discouraging Americans from buying foreign goods and services and shrinking the trade deficit.

        But the opposite has happened.

        Instead, Donald Trump goes into the presidential re-election race having failed to deliver on his campaign promise to close the US trade deficit.

        Part of the problem is Mr Trump’s own tax policies. They boosted US consumption and a lot of that spending went abroad.

        This happened as growth was slowing in other parts of the world, contributing to a rising dollar. That made US exports more expensive and less competitive.

        Of course, an economic downturn would help reduce the trade deficit.

        But who wants that?

        Mr Trump warned in December that if the two countries failed to reach an agreement on trade, he would take action, dubbing himself “a Tariff Man”.

        ‘National security’

        The deficit between the US and the European Union also increased in 2018, up by $17.9bn to $169.3bn.

        Following the same trend as with China, US export growth to the EU was eclipsed by imports of European goods and services to America, which last year rose to $487.9bn.

        Donald Trump and Jean-Claude Juncker reached a truce on trade last year

        Following a spat between the US and the EU when America lifted tariffs on steel and aluminium, Mr Trump and European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker last year reached a truce.

        However, Mr Trump may choose to lift tariffs on European cars and parts after the US Commerce Department produced a report examining whether the imports threaten national security.

        Meanwhile, US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and EU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom are meeting on Wednesday in Washington, where the issue of allowing America’s agriculture industry access to Europe is expected to be discussed.

        Melania Trump closes ‘Be Best’ tour with criticism of the media – NBC News
        Melania Trump closes ‘Be Best’ tour with criticism of the media – NBC News

        WASHINGTON — First lady Melania Trump criticized the media Tuesday for spending more time on “idle gossip [and] trivial stories” than on coverage of the opioid crisis.

        “I challenge the press to devote as much time to the lives lost and the potential lives that could be saved by dedicating the same amount of coverage that you do to idle gossip or trivial stories,” Trump said at a Las Vegas town hall held in connection with her “Be Best” effort.

        “I wish the media would talk about more and educate more children, also adults, parents, about the opioid crisis that we have in the United States,” she told former Fox News host Eric Bolling, who lost his son to an overdose, during a moderated question and answer session later in the event. “They do it already, but I think not enough.”

        The town hall — the final stop in a three-state swing this week that included events at an Oklahoma school and at Microsoft headquarters in Washington state — marked her first overnight domestic solo tour for the child-focused initiative, which calls for greater civility in social media use, fighting opioid abuse and promoting general well-being.

        Stephanie Grisham, spokeswoman for the first lady, told NBC’s TODAY that while the first year of the initiative had been geared toward “learning,” the focus moving forward would be on action. “We’re going to start looking at possible legislation that might…be something she would want to get on board with,” she said.

        The first lady’s “Be Best” effort has faced criticism in the past over the gap between her message about the importance of being kind and avoiding bullying on social media and President Trump’s often combative online persona. Ahead of the tour, Grisham dismissed the complaints.

        “One thing doesn’t have anything to do with the other, and [the first lady] is focused on helping children,” she told CNN over the weekend. “She has said many times that her husband is an adult. He is president of the United States and he knows what he’s doing. She’s focused on ‘Be Best,’ focused on helping children.”

        Courtney Buble reports for NBC News from Washington.

        Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders announces his entry into crowded 2020 Democratic field for President.
        USA TODAY

        WASHINGTON – Sen. Bernie Sanders signed a pledge, required under new Democratic National Committee rules, that declared he was a Democrat and would serve as one if elected president, according to media reports. 

        Sanders, an independent from Vermont, is one of more than a dozen candidates who has launched a presidential bid or announced an exploratory committee for a White House run. He signed the pledge, which was given to all 2020 candidates for their signature, on Tuesday, according to a copy obtained by NBC News. 

        “I am a member of the Democratic Party,” the document signed by Sanders reads. “I will run a Democrat, accept the nomination of my Party, and I will serve as a Democrat if elected.”

        The document also states that the DNC has the authority to determine whether a candidate is indeed a “bona fide Democrat,” saying the committee would examine the candidate’s record, writings and accomplishments. 

        The new DNC rule is part of a number of changes within the organization.

        It was partially enacted as a response to Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign, which he lost to Hillary Clinton. Sanders ran as a Democrat but was a longtime independent and self-described democratic socialist. Some Democrats had worried during the primary fight that Sanders could run as an independent if he lost to Clinton, something Sanders did not do. 

        There was also question over whether Sanders should qualify for the primaries since he was registered as a Democrat. 

        Sanders caucuses with Democrats but has consistently run for office as an independent, including on Monday when Sanders filed to run again for his Senate seat in 2024, according to NBC News. 

        Since the 2016 race, the DNC has also scaled back the role of superdelegates in presidential nominations, which Sanders and his supporters rallied for. 

        The change came after complaints about party insiders’ incredible influence in the primary process. Superdelegates announcing support for Clinton gave her an early advantage in the primary, and their role was a major point of contention for Sanders’ supporters.
