Ukrainian authorities reported limited success in securing the evacuation of Ukrainian civilians from the worst affected areas Friday.
Around Kyiv, volunteers and local authorities were able to help thousands more escape the worst affected districts to the north and west of the city.
Despite heavy outgoing and incoming fire, more than 22,000 people had been evacuated after three days from the districts of Vorzel, Hostomel, Bucha and Irpin, all of which have seen extensive destruction and are without power and water, said Oleksiy Kuleba, head of the Kyiv regional administration.
On Saturday, the administration would “be creating new routes to get to the towns which we couldn’t reach yet to evacuate people,” Kuleba added.
Chief among them is the town of Borodianka — some 25 kilometers (15 miles) northeast of Kyiv. It was again shelled on Friday as Russian forces continue their attempt to close in on the capital from the north.
Meanwhile, an attempt to evacuate more people from the town of Izium had been “disrupted by the Russian occupiers,” said Kharkiv Gov. Oleh Synehubov in a Telegram post.
The buses were shelled and barely managed to turn round and get back safely. The evidence of shelling could be seen on the buses, he continued.
In the center of Ukraine, authorities reported the successful evacuation of more women and children from Enerhodar — which fell to Russian forces a week ago — and surrounding villages.
Most of the displaced in this region are being brought to Zaporizhzia before boarding trains to western Ukraine.
Mariupol efforts: The head of Zaporizhzhia regional military administration, Oleksandr Starukh, said local priests had joined efforts to get a convoy of aid to the besieged port city of Mariupol.
Ukraine’s Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov described the situation in Mariupol as very difficult. He accused the Russians of bombing the city even during official negotiations.
Local authorities in Mariupol say that nearly 1,600 people in Mariupol have died as a result of shelling and airstrikes against the city.

Omar Mateen, estadounidense de 29 años, fue identificado como el atacante del club nocturno en Orlando.
La policía identificó a Omar Mateen cçlomo el hombre que abrió fuego en un club nocturno gay en Orlando, Florida, y dejó 49 muertos y al menos 53 heridos, en la que es considerado la peor masacre en la historia de Estados Unidos.
Mateen fue abatido por la policía después de una toma de rehenes en la discoteca Pulse que se prolongó durante tres horas..
El joven de 29 años había nacido en Nueva York de padres afganos.
El Buró de Investigaciones de EE.UU. (FBI, por sus siglas en inglés) confirmó que Mateen llamó al número de emergencia 911 antes del ataque y declararó su lealtad al grupo radical autodenominado Estado Islámico.
En sus conversaciones telefónicas con la policía durante el ataque Mateen se mostró “tranquilo y calmado”.
Image caption
Varias fotografías de Mateen estaban en un perfil de MySpace que presuntamente pertenecía al atacante.
Mateen vivía en Fort Pierce, una localidad entre las ciudades de Orlando y Miami, en la costa este de Florida.
Las autoridades dijeron que el atacante probablemente tuvo motivos ideológicos, sin embargo aún no hay confirmación de que Mateen estuviera asociado a un grupo en particular.
Un portavoz del FBI declaró este domingo que la agencia investigó a Mateen en dos ocasiones.
Primero en 2013 luego de que hiciera “comentarios incendiarios” a un colega.

La casa de Mateen en Fort Pierce, Florida, fue puesta bajo custodia federal luego del tiroteo.
En 2014 el FBI lo volvió a entrevistar, esta vez sobre una posible conexión con el atacante suicida estadounidense Moner Abu Salha, que se unió a Estado Islámico en Siria.
La empresa de seguridad privada G4S confirmó que Mateen había sido uno de sus empleados desde septiembre de 2007.
“No estaba de guardia cuando ocurrió el incidente”, indicó la compañía en un comunicado, además de asegurar que está cooperando con el FBI y otras agencias.
Este domingo el FBI confirmó que el atacante había comprado de manera legal al menos dos armas durante la semana pasada en Florida.
Una era un rifle tipo AR calibre .223, que se destaca por su alta capacidad de disparos continuos, y otra era una pistola semiautomática de 9 mm.
Además de los 49 fallecidos, otras 53 personas resultaron heridas en el ataque. Algunos de ellos se encuentran en condición crítica en hospitales de Orlando, informó el alcalde Buddy Dyer.

Sitora Yusufiy, la exesposa de Mateen, dijo a la prensa este domingo que su expareja era alguien “inestable emocionalmente”, que la golpeó en varias ocasiones durante su breve matrimonio.
“Era un enfermo mental. Esa es la única explicación que puedo dar y estaba evidente perturbado”, dijo, además de relatar que fue “literalmente rescatada” de la casa en que vivía con Mateen.
Al saber de la noticia, Sitora dice que quedó “devastada y conmocionada”.
“Empecé a temblar y a llorar porque más que nada estaba tan profundamente herida y triste por las personas que perdieron a sus seres queridos y las familias que están sufriendo ahora”.
Algunos medios en EE.UU. señalan que Mateen tiene un hijo pequeño de una relación con otra mujer, aunque la información no ha sido confirmada-.
Padre
Seddique Mateen, el padre del atacante, afirmó que las acciones de su hijo probablemente están motivadas por su rechazo a la homosexualidad y descartó que estuvieran relacionadas con la religión.
Según dijo, su hijo había estado molesto luego de que vio a dos hombres besándose en Miami.
Medios en EE.UU. han señalado que Seddique Mateen tiene un programa en una cadena vía satélite con sede en California dedicada a Afganistán llamado Durand Jirga Show y en el que habría mostrado su apoyo al Talibán.
En un vídeo publicado en las últimas horas en su perfil de Facebook, el padre del atacante de Orlando asegura que “Dios castigará a los implicados en la homosexualidad” porque es un tema que “no corresponde a los humanos”.
La casa de Omar Mateen fue puesta bajo custodia por la policía local y agentes del FBI, que lidera la investigación de lo que fue catalogado el presidente Barack Obama como “un acto terrorista”.
Este lunes Obama declaró que no hay una evidencia concreta de que el atacante de Orlando haya actuado bajo la dirección de una red más grande, y que parecía estar inspirado por posturas extremistas en internet.
Amanda Gorman says a security guard followed her home on Friday night. The 22-year-old poet, who became the youngest inaugural poet in American history when she performed at President Joe Biden’s inauguration earlier this year, says the guard said she looked “suspicious.”
“A security guard tailed me on my walk home tonight,” Gorman wrote on Twitter. “He demanded if I lived there because ‘you look suspicious.’ I showed my keys & buzzed myself into my building. He left, no apology. This is the reality of black girls: One day you’re called an icon, the next day, a threat.”
In a follow-up tweet she wrote: “In a sense, he was right. I AM A THREAT: a threat to injustice, to inequality, to ignorance. Anyone who speaks the truth and walks with hope is an obvious and fatal danger to the powers that be.”
Gorman recited her poem “The Hill We Climb” on the steps of the United States Capitol during Mr. Biden’s inauguration ceremony on January 20. She told “CBS This Morning’s” Anthony Mason that she prepared for the big moment the way she would prepare for any other performance.
“One of the preparations that I do always whenever I perform is I say a mantra to myself, which is ‘I’m the daughter of black writers. We’re descended from freedom fighters who broke through chains and changed the world. They call me.'”
The original composition drew from her own experience, as “a skinny black girl descended from slaves” who dreams “of becoming president,” as well as the recent insurrection at the Capitol, Gorman told Mason.
Mr. Varadkar has been blunt about his objections to Mr. Johnson’s proposal, notably its requirement that Northern Ireland’s assembly — which has been suspended since its governing coalition collapsed in January 2017 in a sectarian dispute — be given a veto over the plan once every four years.
Before the meeting, Mr. Varadkar said, “Part of the difficulty at the moment, though, is the position of the U.K. government that Northern Ireland must leave the E.U. customs union and be part of the U.K. customs union, no matter what the people of Northern Ireland think. That’s their position at the moment, and that’s the one that’s of grave difficulty to us.”
British officials have floated various remedies to this problem, like having the major political parties in Northern Ireland — which represent both British unionists and Irish nationalists — sign on to an agreement, in lieu of the assembly. Another option is to impose a time limit on the deal, but set that date well in the future, giving Ireland hope that the north might never be divided from the south.
Finding a compromise on the issue of “consent” was expected to occupy most of Thursday’s meeting, though Mr. Johnson and Mr. Varadkar also said they had discussed the customs union. Of the two issues, consent is easier to resolve: Some of the details could be left until later, if the two sides reach agreement on basic principles.
The customs union is far harder: Britain argues it is necessary as a point of principle and to get a deal through Parliament. But it would require installing customs checks, although Britain insists such checks could be done away from the border between north and south.
Those are an obstacle for Ireland for practical reasons — they would interrupt the now seamless trade across the border — as well as a symbolic one — a hard border could threaten the peace that has prevailed since the 1998 Good Friday Agreement resolved years of sectarian strife in Northern Ireland.
The European Union and individual European leaders have steadfastly backed Ireland, generally echoing Mr. Varadkar’s objections. On Wednesday, Mr. Barnier told the European Parliament: “We’re not really in a position where we’re able to find an agreement.”
The U.S. economy expanded at a 2.9 percent pace last year, the Commerce Department reported Thursday, a strong rate but just shy of President Trump’s goal of 3 percent.
Last year’s growth marked the fastest gain for the economy since 2015, according to official government data. The economy received a big boost from the largest corporate tax cut in U.S. history that went into effect last year, as well as additional government spending on military and domestic programs. But that stimulus is widely expected to wear off later this year, causing growth to slow.
Growth in the final quarter of last year was 2.6 percent, above forecasts but below the 3.4 percent pace in the third quarter and 4.2 percent pace in the second quarter. Consumer and business spending were both strong, but Americans bought a little less than they did earlier in the year.
“Last year was likely the best year of this business cycle,” said Ellen Zentner, chief economist at Morgan Stanley. “We stimulated the heck out of the economy last year and that stimulus will fade this year.”
Trump and his top officials have repeatedly said they can achieve at least 3 percent annual growth for the next decade with the president even claiming it “could go to 4, 5, and maybe even 6 percent” as Republicans put the final touches on the tax cut bill in late 2017.
The White House says it achieved its goal because the growth rate for the fourth quarter of 2018 is 3.1 percent above the fourth quarter of the prior year. The Commerce Department calculation compares the average growth for 2018 to the average growth in 2017.
“Our policies are working,” said Kevin Hassett, head of Trump’s Council of Economic Advisors. “We said there would be a capital spending boom and we would get 3.1 percent growth. That is what happened.”
There’s heavy debate among economists about which measure is preferable. Using the White House’s preferred method means last year was the strongest for economic growth since before the recession.
Hassett said the White House remains “confident” that “2019 will be another 3 percent year.”
The vast majority of economists predict growth will be lower this year. The Federal Reserve is currently predicting 2.3 percent growth for 2019. Fed vice chair Richard Clarida said Thursday morning that he is likely to lower his forecast as headwinds overseas in Europe and China could drag down growth at home.
“While my baseline outlook for growth, employment, and inflation is a positive one, a number of crosscurrents that are buffeting the economy bear careful scrutiny,” Clarida said, noting that some recent economic data has been disappointing.
The Commerce Department had to delay this report because of the partial government shutdown that furloughed many employees who work on key economic data collection and calculation.
Consumer spending continues to power the economy with Americans opening their wallets on a wide range of purchases. Business investment also picked up in the final quarter last year, a sign that companies are still hiring and investing because they do not foresee a recession on the horizon.
There were especially strong gains in intellectual property and equipment purchases, but spending on residential homes declined 3.5 percent. The home building industry has continued to struggle with rising interest rates dissuading buyers and higher costs for some materials because of Trump’s tariffs.
“The consumer is trending lower, though consumption is still strong. My main concern is housing investment which fell for the fourth consecutive quarter,” said Constance Hunter, chief economist at KPMG. “If this continues into 2019, it will be a worrying signal for future growth. “
Trade was a drag on growth at the end of last year as imports heavily exceeded exports, meaning Americans brought more foreign products than they sold. There was a rush earlier in the year to sell U.S. soybeans and other products to China before Trump’s tariffs went into effect, but that trend has now reversed.
Trump and many top aides have sounded optimistic that there will soon be an agreement with China to end the trade dispute. Stocks have rallied and are back near an all-time high reached in late September as trade news has improved and the Fed announced a pause in interest rate increases.
Hassett predicted economists will likely need to revise their forecasts higher for this year once trade negotiations with China wrap up. But many economists remain more cautious, although they don’t see an imminent recession. Much will depend on whether American consumers continue to spend and whether businesses keep investing in new technology and factories.
“As we look ahead to 2019, there are good reasons to expect growth not to be as strong, but I don’t anticipate growth collapsing,” said Jim O’Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics.

Firearms have been banned from the area around the Capitol building
Thousands of people are expected to descend on the US city of Richmond, in Virginia, on Monday for a pro-gun rally that authorities fear could turn violent.
State governor Ralph Northam declared a state of emergency ahead of the rally, banning firearms from the area around the Capitol building.
The Lobby Day rally is an annual event, but several gun-control bills passed in January by the Democrat-led Virginia legislature – in a state where gun rights have historically been permissive – have angered gun owners and activists.
The Virginia Citizens Defense League, a gun rights group which organised the rally, said it expected as many as 50,000 people. Many of the buses laid on from neighbouring states were sold out before the weekend.
Various groups including armed militia, right-wing extremists and local Antifa, or anti-fascist movement, are expected to attend.
Christian Yingling, who led the Pennsylvania Light Foot Militia during the violent clashes in Charlottesville in 2017, told the BBC he was hoping for a big turnout.
“I’d like to see a lot of people, I really would. I know from chatter online that a lot of militia types are coming in from some distance… Texas, Illinois, elsewhere,” he said.

He said he hoped the rally would pass peacefully but feared it would not. “I think there’s enormous potential for something to go wrong.”
Militia meeting
At a rural community hall about 20 miles south of Richmond, dozens of people from different militia groups gathered on Sunday night to talk about tactics for the following day and about the broader threat to gun rights they see in Virginia.
When Greg Trojan, one of the founders of the VCDL, asked how many people had travelled in from outside the state, more than half raised their hands. Many at the meeting said they hoped for a peaceful day tomorrow, some said they anticipated violence.

Militia groups gathered for a meeting ahead of Monday’s rally
“I’m dreading it. Because I was in Charlottesville, I was at the Boston free speech rally. I see what it can be and that’s what I dread,” said Tammy Lee, a militia organiser from Oklahoma.
“There’s a lot of angry people coming. There’s a lot of uneducated people coming. It’s going to be volatile. I pray I’m wrong, but I don’t think so.”
Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg was a frequent target for his spending on gun control efforts. So was the state governor Mr Northam – “Don’t let the evil bastard win,” said Mr Trojan, rounding off a speech to the room.
Cory Kepner, who travelled down from Pennsylvania, said he would go the rally on Monday, armed with his handgun, but hoped it would be peaceful.
“I’m more of a thinker than a run into trouble type of guy,” he said.

President Donald Trump risked ratcheting up tensions when he tweeted on Saturday: “Your 2nd Amendment is under very serious attack in the Great Commonwealth of Virginia. That’s what happens when you vote for Democrats, they will take your guns away.”
The ban on guns around the Richmond Capitol building was challenged by gun rights groups, but upheld by state Supreme Court over the weekend, and the organisers, the VCDL, called for “10,000 patriots” to hand their guns to someone else and enter the Capitol unarmed.
The arrests underscored the extent to which the Lobby Day rally had been seized upon by far-right extremists. Some of those groups, including The Base, explicitly state their aim as inciting a race war in the US.

Megan Squires, an expert in online extremism from the University of North Carolina, said the open talk of inciting violence in extremist online chat groups had suddenly quietened down in the wake of the FBI arrests.
“In December, when this event was announced, those types of groups were very excited about this event – calling it the boogaloo and saying it was going to kick off the race war,” she said.
“But about 48 hours ago the tenor in those Telegram groups shifted considerably, and I think that’s because of the seven arrests.”
The event has been compared to the deadly white nationalist rally in Charlottesville in 2017, where a 32-year-old counter protester was killed by a rally goer and violent clashes broke out around the city.
Media captionFootage captured the moment a car rammed into a crowd of counter-protesters in Charlottesville in 2017
But the local Antifa chapter and other left-wing groups indicated they intended to march with the pro-gun protesters, rather than against them – seemingly reducing the likelihood of violent clashes.
The rally will take place on Martin Luther King Day – a public holiday in honour of the civil rights leader.
In Richmond, police set up chain-link barriers around the Capitol in anticipation of the crowds and roads were closed off. Anyone attempting to enter the area around the Capitol will have to pass through a metal detector.
Mr Yingling said he thought the sheer number of firearms present would act as a deterrent to anyone minded to act violently.
“When you have that many guns floating around, people tend to act respectful”, he said.
Beijing (CNN)The Chinese government has accused pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong of committing “evil and criminal acts” that have seriously damaged the semi-autonomous city’s “reputation” and “stability.”

El jefe del Instituto Nacional Penitenciario, Julio Magán, afirmó que tras recibir la orden de comparecencia restringida, mañana “a partir del mediodía en adelante y hasta antes de las 3 de la tarde”, el ex candidato a la presidencia Gregorio Santos saldrá del penal Ancón. Horas antes, Fernando Ugaz, abogado de Santos, había asegurado que su patrocinado saldrá en libertad en las próximas horas, luego que la Sala Penal Nacional denegara el pedido fiscal para ampliar la prisión preventiva por siete meses más. Luego, a través de un comunicado se confirmó que la Segunda Sala Penal de Apelaciones Nacional revocó la medida de prisión preventiva del investigado Gregorio Santos.
No se amplía carcelería. “La Sala Penal Nacional ha logrado emitir una resolución ejecutando lo descrito por la casación. Esto es darle la inmediata libertad al señor Gregorio Santos y, por tanto, se declara la nulidad de la resolución de la jueza de primera instancia, mediante el cual quería ampliarse a siete meses más, hasta febrero del próximo año, para que siga preso Gregorio Santos”, dijo Fernando Ugaz a RPP Noticias.
Afrontará proceso en libertad. “Ya no hay nada pendiente, ya no hay más pedidos (de prisión preventiva). Esto significa en la práctica que el señor Gregorio Santos va a poder enfrentar su proceso en libertad, ir al juicio, a las audiencias, en plena libertad”, sentenció Ugaz.

Recupera cargo. Fernando Ugaz indicó que una vez en libertad Gregorio Santos podrá reincorporarse en sus funciones como gobernador regional de Cajamarca tras pasar un proceso administrativo, al recordar que su patrocinado fue sentenciado a prisión preventiva, pero no se le quitó otro derecho.
Seguirá siendo investigado. La Sala también valoró que Santos Guerrero está recluido 25 meses sin que se haya resuelto, de manera definitiva, su situación jurídica y, además porque se presentó voluntariamente a la audiencia cuando se ordenó su prisión preventiva. Añaden que esta decisión judicial, sin embargo, no significa que el referido investigado haya sido absuelto del proceso judicial, sino que continuará afrontando el mismo en libertad con mandato de comparecencia con restricciones.
Reglas de conducta. La Sala fijó una serie de reglas de conducta que Santos Guerrero deberá cumplir, caso contrario, se ordenará su reingreso al establecimiento penitenciario. Entre estas, figura el pago de una caución de 100,000 soles en el plazo de 15 días útiles contados a partir de la notificación, pago que podrá hacer estando fuera de la cárcel según dijo el jefe del INPE, Julio Magán. Tampoco podrá ausentarse del lugar donde reside ni cambiar de domicilio sin previo aviso de la autoridad judicial y fiscal.
La denuncia. Con esta decisión, Gregorio Santos afrontará en libertad el proceso que se le sigue por presuntos actos ilegales durante su gestión como gobernador de Cajamarca. Entre las acusaciones, se lo relaciona con el empresario Wilson Vallejos y las millonarias licitaciones que obtuvo, según refiere el diario La República.

The office of New York state Attorney General Letitia James issued a statement to Fox News on Tuesday night, confirming a change in its investigation of the Trump Organization.
The case has now become a criminal investigation after initially being a civil matter, the statement said.
“We have informed the Trump Organization that our investigation into the organization is no longer purely civil in nature,” James spokesman Fabien Levy wrote in a statement to Fox News.
“We are now actively investigating the Trump Organization in a criminal capacity, along with the Manhattan DA. We have no additional comment at this time.”
James’ office has been investigating possible violations by the Trump Organization over the way it has valued its holdings as it has sought tax breaks and loans, WABC-TV of New York City reported.
The Trump Organization was already informed about the status change for the investigation in late April, The Washington Post reported.
If the investigation results in any criminal charges, those charges would be brought forth by the Manhattan district attorney’s office, not James’ state office, WABC reported.

Both James and Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance Jr. are Democrats. Vance’s office has been investigating the Trump Organization since 2018, the Post reported.
As James’ office pursued civil charges, the potential risk to the Trump Organization was believed to be only financial. But the change in status to a criminal case raises the possibility of other penalties for any Trump Organization officials, should they be convicted of a crime, the Post reported.
The Trump Organization also declined to comment. The organization has previously denied any wrongdoing, the Post reported.
Eric Trump, a son of former President Donald Trump, declined to comment but sent to the Post a video montage of past statements James has made about his father, including calling him an “illegitimate president,” the Post reported.
In another clip, James says, “We’re definitely going to sue him. … He’s going to know my name personally.”
James’ office is also investigating New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a fellow Democrat, over allegations that include sexually harassing woman and misusing state resources to produce a memoir.
Cuomo also has denied any wrongdoing.

Israel muestra su decepción por la decisión del gobierno de un país amigo, con el que comparte más de medio siglo de buenas relaciones bilaterales, una intensa agenda de cooperación y una significativa presencia de inversiones israelíes.
El gobierno de Israel lamentó la decisión del Gobierno peruano de llamar a consulta a su embajador en Israel.
A continuación el comunicado:
Israel muestra su decepción por la decisión del gobierno de un país amigo, con el que comparte más de medio siglo de buenas relaciones bilaterales, una intensa agenda de cooperación y una significativa presencia de inversiones israelíes.
Israel siempre se identificó con el sufrimiento del pueblo peruano durante todos los años de su lucha contra el terrorismo. A pesar de la cercanía entre ambos pueblos, hoy nos sorprende que el Perú no apoye a Israel en sus esfuerzos de proteger la vida de sus ciudadanos y en su lucha contra el terrorismo.
No hay duda que, si terroristas extremistas atacaran al Perú con 3000 cohetes y misiles en un mes, el gobierno peruano hubiera reaccionado de la misma manera que hoy lo hace Israel, con tal de proteger la vida de todos los peruanos. Ese es el compromiso de todo país libre y democrático.
Los únicos responsables de los daños civiles en ambos lados, son los terroristas del Hamas, que utilizan a su población como escudos humanos y tienen como objetivo, la muerte de civiles israelíes y la destrucción del Estado de Israel.
El gobierno de Israel hace un llamado al gobierno peruano para insistir con el desarme y la desmilitarización de grupos terroristas en la Franja de Gaza, que amenazan la vida y el desarrollo tanto de israelíes como de palestinos.
La Embajada de Israel en el Perú, ha recibido de parte de diversos sectores de la sociedad peruana, constantes muestras de apoyo incondicional a nuestra justa lucha contra el terror.
Es nuestro deseo alcanzar lo más pronto posible la paz y la tranquilidad en nuestra región para bienestar de ambos pueblos.

Louisiana Republican Sen. John Kennedy says former FBI Director James Comey didn’t think the American people were smart enough to pick a president in 2016 so he put his thumb on the scale.
In the two years since President Trump fired James Comey, the former director of the FBI has gone from the left’s folk hero – rewarded with a book deal for his supposed selfless public service – to someone at the epicenter of an FBI “spying” scandal that threatens to tarnish the bureau’s reputation.
Trump dismissed Comey on May 9, 2017, for his handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server.
Following Comey’s ouster, his former boss Robert Mueller was appointed special counsel of the Russia investigation, which went on to find no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia — and could not reach a conclusion on whether to charge Trump with obstruction of justice.
Initially, Comey enjoyed relative success after losing his job, getting showered with media attention for his anti-Trump talking points. This propped up his book — “A Higher Loyalty,” published last year — for which Comey reportedly received $2 million and which posted sales of 600,000 copies in just one week.
But Comey’s star has undoubtedly faded amid allegations that the FBI under his command not only used an unverified dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele to justify surveillance of Trump campaign official Carter Page, but also that the bureau sent an undercover investigator to meet with ex-Trump aide George Papadopoulos in 2016.
Attorney General Bill Barr alleged, in the wake of the Mueller report, that the bureau engaged in spying against Trump associates during the 2016 presidential campaign.
“I think spying did occur,” Barr said during a hearing on Capitol Hill last month. “The question is whether it was adequately predicated. … Spying on a political campaign is a big deal.”
“I think spying did occur … The question is whether it was adequately predicated. … Spying on a political campaign is a big deal.”
— Attorney General Bill Barr
Barr later clarified in the hearing: “I am not saying that improper surveillance occurred; I’m saying that I am concerned about it and looking into it, that’s all.”
Comey dismissed Barr’s comments at the time, saying he “never thought of” electronic surveillance as “spying.”
“When I hear that kind of language used, it’s concerning because the FBI and the Department of Justice conduct court-ordered electronic surveillance,” Comey added. “I have never thought of that as spying.”
But Comey was put on the defensive again following a recent bombshell New York Times report detailing the FBI efforts to investigate the Trump campaign.
The FBI reportedly sent a woman to meet with Papadopoulos at a bar in London during the campaign. The woman, who identified herself as Azra Turk, asked Papadopoulos point-blank if Trump was collaborating with Russians to swing the 2016 election.
Comey issued only a scant defense of the issue, telling Los Angeles radio station KNX 1070 AM that the practice was justified due to the ongoing threats from Russia.
“Really? What would you have the FBI do? We discover in the middle of June of 2016 that the Russians were engaged in a massive effort to mess with this democracy to interfere in the election,” Comey said.
“We’re focused on that and at the end of July we learn that a Trump campaign adviser — two months earlier, before any of this was public — had talked to a Russian representative about the fact that the Russians had dirt on Hillary Clinton and wanted to arrange to share it with the Trump campaign.”
He added: “What should the FBI do when it gets that information? It should investigate to figure out whether any Americans are hooked up with this massive interference effort. And that’s what we did.”
But as Comey continues making the rounds to publicly defend his actions as FBI director — including plans to participate in a town hall event on CNN on Thursday night — he’s likely to face further questions and controversies amid Barr’s formation of a team to “investigate the investigators.”
A Trump administration official briefed on the matter told Fox News that Barr assembled a “team” to investigate the origins of the FBI’s counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign.
Fox News also has been told the Justice Department’s inspector general (IG) was looking separately into whether Comey mishandled classified information by including a variety of sensitive matters in his private memos that include the name and code name of a confidential human source.

The Islamic State (IS) group may be linked to bomb blasts which killed 321 people and wounded 500 in Sri Lanka, the country’s prime minister has said.
Ranil Wickremesinghe said the government believed Sunday’s attacks could not have been carried out without links to terror groups abroad.
The first mass funeral was held on Tuesday as Sri Lanka marked an official day of mourning for the victims.
A state of emergency remains in effect to prevent further attacks.
Police have now detained 40 suspects in connection with the attack, all of whom were Sri Lankan nationals.
“This could not have been done just locally,” Mr Wickremesinghe said. “There had been training given and a coordination which we are not seeing earlier.”
The Islamic State (IS) group claimed the attack on Tuesday via its Amaq news outlet. Sri Lanka’s government had previously blamed the blasts on local Islamist group National Thowheed Jamath (NTJ).
Eight blasts were reported, including at three churches during Easter services.
Three hotels in the capital, Colombo – the Shangri-La, Kingsbury and Cinnamon Grand – were also targeted.
An attack on a fourth hotel on Sunday was foiled, Mr Wickremesinghe said. He did not name the hotel. He also warned that further militants and explosives could still be “out there” following the attack.

Who could be behind the attacks?
IS said it had “targeted nationals of the crusader alliance [anti-IS US-led coalition] and Christians in Sri Lanka”.
It provided no evidence for the claim but shared an image on social media of eight men purported to be behind the attack.
The group’s last stronghold was declared “freed” by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on 23 March.
Although the declaration marked the last territorial victory over the group’s caliphate, experts warn it does not mean the end of IS or its ideology.
Mr Wickremesinghe said that only Sri Lankan nationals had been arrested in connection with the attack so far, but that some of the attackers may have travelled abroad before the bombings.
”We, certainly the security apparatus, are of the view there are foreign links and some of the evidence points to that. So if the IS (Islamic State) claimed it, we will be following up on this claim,” he added.

Authorities have declared a state of emergency
Earlier, the country’s defence minister Ruwan Wijewardene told parliament that NTJ was linked to another radical Islamist group he named as JMI,.
NTJ has no history of large-scale attacks but came to prominence last year when it was blamed for damaging Buddhist statues. The group has not said it carried out Sunday’s bombings.
Sunday’s attacks have highlighted rifts in Sri Lanka’s leadership, after it emerged that authorities were warned about an imminent threat from the NTJ jihadist group.
But Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe and the cabinet were not informed, ministers said.
‘Targets in line with IS ideology’
Analysis by BBC Security Correspondent Gordon Corera
The Sri Lankan government has said locals from two known groups carried out the attack. But from the start – because of the scale and sophistication of it – they have also said they thought there was an external role.
In the past, IS has sometimes claimed attacks that it was not involved in or which it simply inspired. But the details from so-called Islamic State would seem to back up the government’s assessment.
The choice of targets is much more in line with IS ideology than with the traditional types of communal violence seen in Sri Lanka.
There are still questions – did the local men affiliate themselves to IS or receive direct support? Did they travel to Syria or to other countries? The Sri Lankan government has said it believes some of them had spent time abroad, but how significant was that to the plot?
Answering questions like these will be important not just for Sri Lanka but other countries as they try and understand whether other relatively small, locally focused groups could be capable of transforming a threat into violence on such a massive scale.
Who were the victims?
Most of those who died were Sri Lankan nationals, including scores of Christians attending Easter Sunday church services.
One of the first victims to be publicly identified was Sri Lankan celebrity chef Shantha Mayadunne and her daughter Nisanga Mayadunne, who had posted a picture of the family having breakfast in the Shangri-La Hotel in Colombo shortly before the deadly blast.
Sri Lankan officials said 38 foreign nationals were among the dead, with another 14 unaccounted for. The death toll includes at least eight British citizens and at least 10 Indian nationals.

The mass funeral for about 30 victims took place at St Sebastian’s church in Negombo, north of Colombo, which was one of the places targeted in Sunday’s blasts. Another funeral service was scheduled for later on Tuesday.
A moment of silence was also observed at 08:30 on Tuesday, reflecting the time the first of six bombs detonated. Flags were lowered to half-mast and people, many of them in tears, bowed their heads in respect.

A lengthy hand recount of ballots conducted as part of the Arizona GOP-led Senate’s review of Maricopa County’s 2020 ballots and election equipment affirmed the results certified nearly 10 months ago: President Joe Biden won Arizona.
That outcome appears in a draft copy of the report about the ballot review, which was obtained by CBS News Thursday night via a public records request with the Arizona Secretary of State’s office.
According to the draft, Mr. Biden’s approximately 45,000-vote victory in the state’s most populous county even expanded by a few hundred votes.
The report surfaced less than 24 hours before the Arizona Senate is set to go over the report with the contractors, led by cybersecurity firm Cyber Ninjas, who were hired to conduct the review.
Republican Arizona Senate President Karen Fann has not responded to a request for comment. An audit spokeswoman noted that more of the report will be released Friday. A separate audit spokesman told KJZZ, which posted similar documents of the draft report, that “it’s not the final report, but it’s close.”
“This means the tabulation equipment counted the ballots as they were designed to do, and the results reflect the will of the voters,” Maricopa County Board of Supervisors Chairman Jack Sellers, a Republican, said in a statement. “That should be the end of the story. Everything else is just noise.”
While the draft report raises concerns issues with the election administration, it asserts that votes were counted accurately.
“What has been found is both encouraging and alarming. On the positive side there were no substantial differences between the hand count of the ballots provided and the official canvass results for the County,” the draft report says.
Still, the authors criticized the county’s recordkeeping, cited issues with some of its election systems and proposed some reforms to the state’s election processes. The contractors who wrote the report chided Maricopa County for not fully cooperating with the process and said that this prevented “a complete audit.”
“Had Maricopa County chosen to cooperate with the audit, the majority of these obstacles would have easily been overcome,” the draft report says.
One of the biggest proponents of the ballot review, GOP state Senator Wendy Rogers tweeted that she had spoken with Doug Logan, Cyber Ninjas CEO, and he noted that the leaked draft is “only a partial report” and said “tomorrow’s hearings will render findings of great consequence.”
I just talked to Doug Logan via phone. The leaked draft is simply a draft and is only a partial report. Tomorrow’s hearing will render findings of great consequence. Then he said “God is in control”. Please pray for our audit team tomorrow as they present their findings.
Sellers said in his statement, which was released before the draft report, “How could we cooperate with an inquiry that was led by people who have no idea how to run any election, let alone one in the second largest voting district in the United States?”
“The Board approved the election plan, we hired and supported our election experts, and they produced a well-run and accurate election in accordance with Arizona law,” he added.
Democratic Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, who is running for governor, called the review a waste of resources.
“The Cyber Ninjas embarrassed Arizona for months, violated voters’ trust, refused transparency, and stuck AZ taxpayers with a multi-million dollar bill. What’d they find? Biden won,” Hobbs tweeted. “The so-called leaders who allowed and encouraged this need to be held accountable in 2022.”
House Minority Whip Rep. Steve Scalise joins ‘Fox & Friends’ to talk damage from the tropical depression and the debate on Capitol Hill on reforming police departments.
House Minority Whip Steve Scalise on Monday blasted Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden for “quietly embracing” the movement to defund the police while avoiding to take a clear position on the issue.
“You’re even seeing on the left the debate, where the mayor of New York City and the governor of New York are not [avoiding the issue]” the Louisiana Republican told “Fox & Friends.”
“Joe Biden is trying to play both ends of this and then hide out in his bunker and not directly address it, while yet trying to quietly embrace the defund movement.”
Scalise made the comments after a recent push to rein in law enforcement in the wake of the May 25 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody.
The calls to defund police departments come as uniformed law enforcement officers across the nation suffered injuries during George Floyd protests that turned violent in some cities, with officers being pelted with bricks and bottles.
A police officer in Las Vegas was shot in the head, while police in New York and New Jersey were injured by bricks and rocks. In Los Angeles, one officer suffered a fractured skull and officers in other cities suffered injuries in hit-and-run incidents.
Fox News’ Ronn Blitzer, Maria Bartiromo and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

(CNN)As a drunk Jennifer Hart drove her six adopted children in their family SUV, her wife, Sarah, sat in the passenger seat looking up different ways to end a life.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who three years ago placed a moratorium on executions, now is moving to dismantle the United States’ largest death row by moving all condemned inmates to other prisons within two years.
The goal is to turn the section at San Quentin State Prison into a “positive, healing environment.” Newsom said Monday it’s an outgrowth of his opposition to what he believes is a deeply flawed system, one that “gets my blood boiling.”
“The prospect of your ending up on death row has more to do with your wealth and race than it does your guilt or innocence,” he said. “We talk about justice, we preach justice, but as a nation, we don’t practice it on death row.”
California, which last carried out an execution in 2006, is one of 28 states that maintain death rows, along with the U.S. government, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. While other states like Illinois have abolished executions, California is merging its condemned inmates into the general prison population with no expectation that any will face execution anytime in the near future.
“We are starting the process of closing death row to repurpose and transform the current housing units into something innovative and anchored in rehabilitation,” California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation spokeswoman Vicky Waters told The Associated Press.
Oregon similarly transferred its much smaller condemned population to other inmate housing two years ago.
Newsom, a Democrat, imposed a moratorium on executions in 2019 and shut down the state’s execution chamber at San Quentin, north of San Francisco. Now his administration is turning on its head a 2016 voter-approved initiative intended to expedite executions by capitalizing on one provision that allowed inmates to be moved off death row.
“The underlying motive of the administration is to mainstream as many of these condemned murderers as possible,” said Michael Rushford, president of the Criminal Justice Legal Foundation, which backed the initiative. “Our objective was to speed up the process.”
He added he doesn’t think victims are happy with the administration’s decision.
“They’re moving condemned murderers into facilities that are going to make their lives better and offer them more amenities, while the victims still mourn the death of their family member,” Rushford said.
Newsom said voters approved the move, though he doubts many understood the provision.
“When they affirmed the death penalty, they also affirmed a responsibility … to actually move that population on death row out and to get them working,” Newsom said.
Newsom is “pouring more salt on the wounds of the victims,” countered Crime Victims United of California president Nina Salarno. “He’s usurping the law.’”
Actor Mike Farrell, president of the group Death Penalty Focus, which opposes the death penalty, said he is thrilled with the idea but concerned by transfers he said could turn condemned inmates into “very ripe targets” for other prisoners.
“We’re talking about people who have been in a specific kind of isolation for decades,” living with the prospect of execution, Farrell said. “To simply move them without very serious consideration of their needs, their personal issues, their psychological state and their safety would be a hideous mistake.”
Corrections officials began a voluntary two-year pilot program in January 2020 that as of Friday had moved 116 of the state’s 673 condemned male inmates to one of seven other prisons that have maximum security facilities and are surrounded by lethal electrified fences.
They intend to submit permanent proposed regulations within weeks that would make the transfers mandatory and “allow for the repurposing of all death row housing units,” Waters said.
The ballot measure approved six years ago also required condemned inmates to participate in prison jobs, with 70% of the money going for restitution to their victims, and corrections officials said that’s their goal with the transfers. By the end of last year, more than $49,000 in restitution had been collected under the pilot program.
Newsom’s proposed budget for the fiscal year starting July 1 seeks $1.5 million to find new uses for the vacant condemned housing.
It notes that death row and its supporting activities are in the same area as facilities used for rehabilitation programs for medium-security San Quentin inmates. The money would be used to hire a consultant to “develop options for (the) space focused on creating a positive, healing environment to provide increased rehabilitative, educational and health care opportunities.”
San Quentin’s never-used $853,000 execution chamber is in a separate area of the prison, and there are no plans to “repurpose” that area, Waters said.
California voters supported the death penalty in 2012 and 2016. An advisory panel to Newsom and lawmakers, the Committee on Revision of the Penal Code, in November became the latest to recommend repealing the death penalty, calling it “beyond repair.”
Under the state’s transfer program, condemned inmates moved to other prisons can be housed in solitary or disciplinary confinement if officials decide they cannot be safely housed with others, although they are supposed to be interspersed with other inmates. Inmates on death row are housed one to a cell, but the transferred inmates can be housed with others if it’s deemed safe.
“There have been no safety concerns, and no major disciplinary issues have occurred,” Waters said.
When it comes to jobs and other rehabilitation activities, condemned inmates outside death row are treated similarly to inmates serving sentences of life without parole. That includes a variety of jobs such as maintenance and administrative duties, according to prison officials.
The condemned inmates are counted more often and are constantly supervised during activities, officials said.
Before they are moved, they are “carefully screened to determine whether they can safely participate in the program,” according to the department. That includes things like each inmate’s security level, medical, psychiatric and other needs, their behavior, safety concerns and notoriety.
Female condemned inmates are housed at the Central California Women’s Facility in Chowchilla. They can transfer to less restrictive housing within the same prison, and eight of the 21 have done so.
