| Trump Fears The Minnesota Chaos Makes Him Look Weak Posted: 29 May 2020 06:02 PM PDT  The coronavirus pandemic stole from President Donald Trump his most prized political possession: a booming U.S. economy. Now racial unrest in Minnesota threatens to steal his second-most-prized one: an image of power and stability that he can project to supporters and adversaries alike.Hours into a spate of destruction and arrests in Minneapolis after the police killing of an unarmed black man, Trump was already threatening to send in the National Guard and warning that "looters" in the city would be shot—employing a phrase popularized by a former Miami police chief famous for "tough-on-crime" policies that targeted citizens of color.Trump walked back the latter statement a few hours later, saying he only meant that looters could end up shooting people, not that they should be shot. "I've heard that phrase for a long time. I don't know where it came from or where it originated," he declared later. "I wouldn't know a thing like that."But his immediate jump to a forceful and potentially deadly resolution to the unrest underscored what knowledgeable sources said is deep distress at events that, in Trump's view, make him appear weak. He told reporters at the White House on Friday that he didn't want Minneapolis to "descend further into lawless anarchy and chaos."There's a personal branding aspect to that desire, one senior administration official told The Daily Beast. "He sees civil disturbance as a referendum on his leadership," the source said. "A show of force like sending in the National Guard is a way to reassert that authority and show he's in control."Alarmed Minneapolis Protesters Meet National Guard with Racist PastA key component of Trump's political appeal amid his meteoric rise during in 2015 and 2016 was his reliance on old-school law-and-order rhetoric that tacitly—and sometimes explicitly—laid the blame for civil unrest at the feet of his opponents and Washington's political class. In many cases, that manifested in his reactions to previous riots and demonstrations in response to high-profile police killings."Our country is totally fractured and, with our weak leadership in Washington, you can expect Ferguson type riots and looting in other places," Trump tweeted in the wake of unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, following the police shooting of Michael Brown. That unrest, in Trump's view, made the country and its leaders look weak and ineffectual."As China and the rest of the World continue to rip off the U.S. economically, they laugh at us and our president over the riots in Ferguson!" he declared in one tweet. "Can you imagine what Putin and all of our friends and enemies throughout the world are saying about the U.S. as they watch the Ferguson riot," he said in another.In Trump's mind, he was the antidote, and his supporters latched onto that image of a strong leader in firm control. The prospect of losing that image—and winding up on the receiving end of the same sorts of barbs he threw President Barack Obama's way in 2014—makes him prone to visceral reactions when cable news networks broadcast images such as a burning American city onto his television, the former administration official said.It was the same impulse that led Trump to suggest in 2017 that he might employ the National Guard in an attempt to quell high rates of violent crime in Chicago. Just a year earlier, he'd booked a rally in the city that devolved into chaos when protesters succeeded in shutting down the event. Trump tried to turn it into a political asset. The protesters, he said at the time, "have totally energized America!"'Burn It Down. Let Them Pay': Deadly Chaos Erupts in Minneapolis as Fires Rage Over Police ViolenceThe unrest that Trump makes political hay of, in the end, is almost always the episodes that involve minority communities. As president, he notably tried to play the role of reconciliator for the white nationalist riots that upended Charlottesville and resulted in the death of a young woman. In the days prior to Minneapolis' burning, Trump urged the Democratic governor of Michigan to have empathy and even meet with the armed white protestors who were demanding that she reopen the state more quickly in the wake of the COVID-related shutdown. That dichotomous approach is part of his political appeal. And as he was walking back the harsh tones of his looter tweets, some in the conservative media were encouraging him to act on it, fearful that something perceived as less forceful would be a potential body blow to his political brand. "Where is the law and order President?" asked Spectator columnist Amber Athey on Friday. "President Trump ought to be the tough but moral leader the city needs right now," Athey wrote, "but his initial response was just as spineless as the rest."As he continues to address the matter in the coming days and weeks, it's highly unlikely that Trump will drift away from his typical "tough on crime" posturing, in part because he sees it as so integral to his political identity and victory."The president sees attacks on the police as an attack on a key constituency," said a current senior Trump administration official. "He sees his strong support for police officers...as a core part of who he is as a winner...I've heard him say several times [in recent months] things like, 'I will never abandon our police. Joe Biden will.'"But there are complications. Trump isn't simply running for office anymore. He's holding it. And a tinderbox like Minneapolis is not so easy to address when the buck now stops with you. Just as he mused they would after Ferguson, Chinese government mouthpieces were quick to seize on the unrest there Friday to try to ding the administration.

| Flynn Asked Russian for Alliance Against ‘Radical Islamists’ on Infamous Phone Call Posted: 29 May 2020 03:14 PM PDT  When Donald Trump's national security adviser-designate made his fateful phone calls with the Russian ambassador, the conversations that set in motion his downfall had a goal behind them. Drawing closer to the rival power that interfered in the 2016 election didn't occur for its own sake, transcripts declassified on Friday show, but to create a new Mideast partnership against what retired Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn saw as "radical Islam." "You know that the strategic goal is stability in the Middle East," the transcripts show Flynn pressing upon Sergey Kislyak on Dec. 23, 2016. "We will not achieve stability in the Middle East without working with each other against this radical Islamist crowd. Period. I am very adamant about that." Flynn would later plead guilty – and, later still, seek to reverse his plea – for lying to the FBI in January 2017 about the discussions of U.S. sanctions on Russia that he had with Kislyak on that day and others. But the calls, declassified by former acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell and released under the auspices of confirmed successor John Ratcliffe, confirm an overlooked aspect of the Trump team's early outreach to Moscow. The reason why Flynn was keen for Moscow to tamp down its response to the Obama administration's final round of sanctions was to advance a longstanding desire on Flynn's behalf to unite the two nations against a dark vision of Islam that Flynn had come to hold. First on the agenda would be to come to terms on Syria, where both nations had deployed their militaries. It was something Flynn wanted the Pentagon to explore – and something that would lead to an encounter in the Seychelles between an infamous mercenary and the head of a sanctioned Russian fund. John Gleeson Got John Gotti. Now He's Taking on Michael Flynn.Flynn has never particularly hid that he saw Russia as a means to the end of confronting what he variously refers to as "radical Islam," "radical Islamist terror," and "radical Islamic terror." This was Flynn's takeaway after his post-9/11 tenure as the intelligence chief for the Joint Special Operations Command, which made him an instrumental figure in the war on terror. To many of Flynn's military and intelligence contemporaries, that is a hysterical and dangerous view of one of the world's major religions. At the Republican National Convention in 2016, he told Dana Priest of the Washington Post, "That's really where I'm at with Russia. We have a problem with radical Islamism and I actually think that we could work together with them against this enemy. They have a worse problem than we do." He would later put it in harsher terms, comparing Islam to a "malignant cancer" and calling it a "political ideology" that "hides behind this notion of being a religion."On the phone with Flynn in December 2016 – something surreptitiously intercepted by the FBI as a matter of course for the Russian ambassador's conversations – Kislyak saw the leverage Flynn's perspective provided.Talking about Obama's sanctions, which included the expulsion of Russian diplomatic and intelligence personnel, Kislyak told Flynn that the sanctions seemed to indicate the U.S. was unwilling to work together against "terrorist threats." Kislyak added that he viewed Obama sanctions as aimed "not only against Russia, but also against the president elect." Flynn, urging Kislyak to convince Vladimir Putin to take a restrained approach to the sanctions, reiterated: "We definitely have a common enemy. You have a problem with it. We have a problem with it in this country and we definitely have a problem with it in the Middle East."But Flynn's vision of the U.S. and Russia as natural allies against "Islam" overlooked much. Russia was aligned with Iran, to which it had sold powerful anti-aircraft defenses, while Flynn's brief tenure famously put Iran "on notice" that the Trump administration would be aggressive against Tehran. Nor were the Russians concerned about ISIS in Syria. Their concerns were the survival of their client, Bashar Assad, and the transcripts indicate that Kislyak saw in Flynn's outreach an opportunity to get Washington to acquiesce to Assad's continued rule. Their plan came to a head in a Dec. 29, 2016 call. According to the newly declassified transcripts, Kislyak tells Flynn that although Russia wants to work with the new administration on coordinating in the Middle East, it would stand back to wait and see what the Trump team proposed as policy."We had ... significant reservations about the idea of adopting now the principles for the Middle East … that our American colleagues are pushing for. So we are not going to support it to - in the quartet, or in the Security Council. And we have conveyed to our American colleagues," Kislyak tells Flynn on the call. "So in the spirit of full transparency I was asked to inform you as well."But Kislyak offered a way forward: He tells Flynn that Russia's Middle East advisors would be willing to work with a team of "specialists" from the U.S. on discussing new policies and ways to work together. But it would have to happen before the inauguration."Our specialist[s] on the Middle East say that they are very much interested in working with your specialists on these issues and if you're available - not you personally, but your specialists - are available even before the … President Elect ... has his inauguration on the twentieth. We are perfectly available," Kislyak says. "But also, something more specific, we, … as you might have seen, are trying to help... the peace process in Syria."Two weeks later, Erik Prince, the former founder of Blackwater and an active contractor throughout the Middle East region, flew to the remote Seychelles island. In his testimony with Congress in 2018 during the Russia investigation, Prince told lawmakers that he had a chance meeting with a Russian banker. He said he didn't know who he was and that he did not fly to the island to meet him. Mueller Exposes Erik Prince's Lies About His Rendezvous with a Top RussianBut Robert Mueller's report on that investigation showed Prince lied about much of his interactions with Kirill Dmitriev, the head of the Russiand Direct Investment Fund, one of Moscow's sovereign wealth funds. Dmitriev and Prince met in the Seychelles on January 11, 2017, at the Four Seasons Hotel in a bar overlooking the Indian Ocean. George Nader, a Lebanese-American businessman who advised the crown prince of the United Arab Emirates, was also present. The two discussed cooperation between the U.S. and Russia in the Middle East, particularly in Syria.The Daily Beast previously obtained a memo Dmitriev sent after the meeting summarizing portions of his Seychelles conversation. The memo listed four potential areas of cooperation and called for an action plan to improve U.S.-Russian relations over a one year period.The first bullet point proposed the U.S. and Russia work together on "military coordination and joint actions in Syria against ISIS." It's an idea that appealed to some of the most important players in the early Trump administration; Mike Flynn, Trump's first and famously Kremlin-friendly national security adviser, pushed to expand U.S.-Russian military communications in Syria, a move that may have been illegal and which the Pentagon strenuously resisted as folly. The idea, according to the memo, was to set up a "joint special forces mission where together the U.S. and Russia take out a key ISIS person or place or frees an area then announces it after." Prince, for his part, has publicly supported the prospect of closer U.S.-Russia cooperation on counterterrorism.'You Keep Telling Me That': How Michael Flynn Kissed Up to Russia's AmbassadorThe day after Prince meets Dmitriev in the Seychelles, Flynn speaks with Kislyak on the phone again, according to the transcripts. Kislyak inquires about whether Flynn had assembled a team to send to Astana, Kazakhstan to meet with the Russians about Syria. The U.S. never ended up sending a team. It's unclear why.All this would cost Flynn much. First, in February, he lost his job as national security adviser after he lied to Vice President Mike Pence about what his conversations with Kislyak concerned. Later, he would come under prosecution for his lies to the FBI – something Trump and his allies portray as getting railroaded by an out of control FBI and Robert Mueller, which has now led to the transcript's declassification. It's the center of an ongoing legal battle, as a federal judge is resisting the Justice Department's extraordinary decision to drop charges against a man who has pleaded guilty. And all of that has drifted far from the original geopolitical – in Flynn's view, even civilizational – rationale behind Flynn's secret colloquy with Kislyak. Read more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?

| Trump Says He’ll Terminate US Relationship With WHO Posted: 29 May 2020 03:08 PM PDT  Accusing the World Health Organization of protecting China during the coronavirus pandemic, President Trump said Friday that the U.S. would sever its relationship with the agency."We will be today terminating our relationship with the World Health Organization and redirecting those funds to other worldwide and deserving urgent global public health needs," Trump announced in the White House Rose Garden. "The world needs answers from China on the virus."Earlier this month, Trump announced a temporary funding halt for the WHO, and threatened a permanent withdrawal if it did not "commit to major substantive improvements in the next 30 days."Trump has repeatedly criticized the WHO for its response to the coronavirus pandemic, alleging that the organization pushed misinformation from China and allowed Beijing to exert control over the United Nations health agency. Critics said Trump was blatantly trying to shift blame for his administration's own failures in halting the spread of the coronavirus in the U.S., where it has resulted in more than 100,000 deaths so far.Currently, the U.S. provides about 15% of the WHO's roughly $2.3 billion annual budget, or about $450 million per year. It's not clear, however, that Trump can end U.S. funding for the health organization without the intervention of Congress, which controls the power of the federal purse.Mike Ryan, the Irish doctor who leads the emergencies program at the agency, said the funding loss would be difficult, but hoped to find the money from other nations. "[T]his is going to have major implications for delivering essential health services to some of the most vulnerable people in the world," Ryan told Stat News, "and we trust that other donors will if necessary step in to fill that gap."Like what you're reading?

| Analysis: Trump fuels new tensions in moment of crisis Posted: 29 May 2020 02:39 PM PDT  Over 48 hours in America, the official death toll from the coronavirus pandemic topped 100,000, the number of people who filed for unemployment during the crisis soared past 40 million, and the streets of a major city erupted in flames after a handcuffed black man was killed by a white police officer. It's the kind of frenetic, fractured moment when national leaders are looked to for solutions and solace. President Donald Trump instead threw a rhetorical match into the tinderbox.

| Transcripts released of Flynn's calls with Russian diplomat Posted: 29 May 2020 02:38 PM PDT  Transcripts of phone calls that played a pivotal role in the Russia investigation were declassified and released Friday, showing that Michael Flynn, as an adviser to then-President-elect Donald Trump, urged Russia's ambassador to be "even-keeled" in response to punitive Obama administration measures, and assured him "we can have a better conversation" about relations between the two countries after Trump became president. Democrats said the transcripts showed that Flynn had lied to the FBI when he denied details of the conversation, and that he was undercutting a sitting president while ingratiating himself with a country that had just interfered in the 2016 presidential election.

Diplomats said China's U.N.

| 'I can't breathe' a rally cry anew for police protests in US Posted: 29 May 2020 01:04 PM PDT  Eric Garner uttered those words six years ago, locked in a police chokehold. Then came the 2016 presidential election of Donald Trump. As the political divide widened, so much competed for the nation's attention — Russian interference in the election, debates over immigration, and impeachment — and with a new Justice Department shifting civil rights priorities, the moment slowly faded from the national stage.

| US: Russian jets in Libya present broader worries for region Posted: 29 May 2020 12:58 PM PDT  U.S. Africa Command flatly rejected Russian claims that Moscow did not deploy fighter jets to Libya, saying Friday that the 14 aircraft flown in reflect Russia's longer term goal to establish a foothold in the region that could threaten NATO allies. Brig. Gen. Gregory Hadfield, deputy director for intelligence, said the U.S. tracked the MiG-29 fighter jets and SU-24 fighter bombers that were flown in by Russian military, passing through Iran and Syria before landing at Libya's al-Jufra air base. The base is the main forward airfield for Khalifa Hifter and his self-styled Libyan National Army, that have been waging an offensive to capture Tripoli.

| AP photo of flag-bearing protester rockets around the world Posted: 29 May 2020 12:24 PM PDT  It had been a tense, challenging Thursday evening in the riot-torn Twin Cities for Associated Press photographer Julio Cortez. Midnight was fast approaching, and so was a lone protester carrying an upside-down U.S. flag. Aware of the flag's power as a visual symbol, Cortez followed the man down the rubble-strewn street and took a photograph that soon rocketed around the world – the protester silhouetted against the flames of a burning liquor store, the light of the fire glowing through the fabric of the flag.

| Boris Johnson urged by senior Tories to relax two-metre rule within a fortnight to avoid large-scale redundancies Posted: 29 May 2020 12:22 PM PDT  Boris Johnson has been urged by senior Conservatives to consider relaxing the two-metre social distancing rule within a fortnight to prevent large-scale redundancies. Greg Clark, the chairman of the Commons science committee, has written to the Prime Minister asking him to "urgently review" the rule and consider whether a reduction to 1.5 metres may be possible in light of newly available evidence. Mr Clark said he hoped any change would be implemented before non-essential shops reopen on June 15, pointing out that Mr Johnson had himself expressed hope this week that the distance could be shortened. With Rishi Sunak on Friday confirming that firms will have to start paying towards the costs of furloughed staff in August, there is mounting concern that thousands of hospitality employees unable to return to work could be laid off unless the two-metre rule is relaxed imminently. Speaking to The Telegraph beforehand, Mr Clark said: "The difference between two metres and 1.5 metres may seem small but it can be the difference between people being able to go to work and losing their jobs." David Davis, the former Brexit secretary, said that changes to the furlough scheme must be implemented "in-step" with a relaxation of social distancing rules. He added that firms would face an "unnatural justice" if they were forced to start paying towards staff costs again whilst remaining shut under the two-metre rule. "What will happen is that they will shut, meaning the furlough money is wasted, and there will be no tax revenue from that business," he said.

| Ruling means Missouri's last abortion clinic stays open Posted: 29 May 2020 09:59 AM PDT  O'FALLON, Mo. (AP) — Missouri's only abortion clinic will be able to keep operating after a state government administrator decided Friday that the health department was wrong not to renew the license of the Planned Parenthood facility in St. Louis. Missouri Administrative Hearing Commissioner Sreenivasa Rao Dandamudi's decision means Missouri will not become the first state without a functioning abortion clinic since 1974, the year after the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision. "In over 4,000 abortions provided since 2018, the Department has only identified two causes to deny its license," Dandamudi wrote, adding that Planned Parenthood has "substantially complied" with state law.

| CNN Reporter Omar Jimenez Was Arrested On Live TV. The Police Who Killed George Floyd Are Free. Posted: 29 May 2020 08:23 AM PDT  A Black CNN reporter was arrested early Friday morning while covering the ongoing protests on the ground in Minneapolis. Omar Jimenez was arrested and taken into custody during a live broadcast of the protests responding to the police killing of George Floyd. Jimenez was reporting live from where the Third Police Precinct had been set on fire overnight. CNN's camera crew was also detained. The entirety of the arrest was broadcast live. Jimenez can be heard at the start of the broadcast telling state patrol the crew is "getting out of your way," and tells them "wherever you want us, we will go." Just moments later, state patrol told Jimenez he was under arrest, reportedly telling the crew they were being detained because they were told to move and didn't. Minnesota State Patrol is already trying to re-frame the narrative, despite the fact that the entire arrest can be witnessed on video. Officers said in a misleading tweet that the crew was released "once they were confirmed to be members of the media." However, Jimenez and his camera crew had identified themselves to police and were complying with police orders before their arrest. In a statement, CNN called the arrest "a clear violation of their First Amendment rights" and urged the authorities and the governor of Minnesota to "release the three CNN employees immediately." After being taken to the Minneapolis public safety building, Jimenez, producer Bill Kirkos, and photojournalist Leonel Mendez were all released after 6 a.m. local time."We're doing OK, now. There were a few uneasy moments there," Jimenez said. While recounting his arrest in a later report, Jimenez told CNN, " I am thankful that it happened on live TV, so that you are able to see it, I was able — I lived it, and people around the country were able to watch and see how it unfolded so there is no doubt as to what happened." He is now back reporting from the streets. Not far from where Jimenez was reporting, another CNN reporter Josh Campbell, who is white, was "treated much differently" after identifying himself to police, he said. Campbell was not arrested, and was allowed to continue reporting in the area. CNN's chief national security correspondent also noted the difference in treatment of white reporters in the U.S."As a reporter, I've been detained in Iran, spied on in China, and followed and harassed in Russia. I've never had colleagues arrested and handcuffed while doing their job here in the US.," he tweeted.Many people have responded to Jimenez's arrest online. Rebecca Kavanaugh, a Criminal Defense and Civil Rights Attorney pointed to the fact that the four officers involved in Floyd's death have still not been arrested, but a Black journalist was arrested "live on TV for reporting about [the] failure to do just that." Filmmaker Ava Duverney called Jimenez's arrest "a turning point in the war that Trump is waging," asking, "what will you do?" Jimenez's arrest occurs at a time when the city has been under distress for several days following Floyd's murder. The community has taken to the streets with grief and rage, in their demands for the arrests of the four officers who killed him. Like what you see?

| German virus 'guru' in crosshairs of lockdown critics Posted: 29 May 2020 08:05 AM PDT  One of Germany's top virologists has become a hate figure for conspiracy theorists and the anti-lockdown movement, leading to an ugly spat with the country's top-selling newspaper and exposing a growing rift over scientists' role in fighting the pandemic. Christian Drosten, a global expert on coronaviruses, has advised Chancellor Angela Merkel's government on COVID-19 measures credited with bringing the outbreak under control by early May and keeping the death toll relatively low.

| The Latest: US agency calls back drone it sent to Minnesota Posted: 29 May 2020 08:03 AM PDT  U.S. Customs and Border Patrol says it dispatched a drone to Minneapolis following three nights of violent protests there but ended up sending it back to its base because the unmanned aerial vehicle wasn't needed. The agency, which typically patrols the nation's border and ports of entry, said the drone was going to provide live video to assist law enforcement in Minneapolis as they responded to protests that have left dozens of stores burned and looted. President Donald Trump says he talked to members of George Floyd's family on Friday and "expressed my sorrow."

| Trump Officials Consider Defying Congress to Sell More Weapons to Saudi Arabia Posted: 29 May 2020 07:04 AM PDT  WASHINGTON -- The Trump administration is moving to sell another cache of munitions to Saudi Arabia, according to lawmakers and congressional aides, a step that would again defy Congress and ignore the objections of lawmakers in both parties about Riyadh's human rights record.The State Department informally notified lawmakers in January that it was planning to move forward with the sale of precision-guided missiles worth $478 million to Saudi Arabia and to approve licenses to allow Raytheon to expand its manufacturing footprint inside the kingdom. The top Democrats on the Senate and House foreign affairs committees have both withheld their support for the plan, effectively blocking it, but they fear State Department officials will push the sales through anyway.Such a move would infuriate lawmakers in both parties, who have repeatedly objected to the United States continuing to supply Riyadh with weapons it has used in strikes on civilians since it began fighting a war in Yemen. Republicans and Democrats were enraged last year when the administration declared an emergency over Iran to bypass Congress and move forward with an $8 billion arms sale to Saudi Arabia and other Persian Gulf nations."I have strong concerns about sending weapons to Saudi Arabia that could be used to kill civilians in Yemen or perpetrate human rights abuses, and I've tried to block those sales from going forward," said Rep. Eliot Engel of New York, the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee. "The Trump administration has disregarded every safeguard meant to prevent the abuses of American weapons, so it's up to Congress to ensure strict adherence to these guidelines."The proposal draws further scrutiny to an already fraught issue. The State Department inspector general, Steve Linick, who was fired this month by President Donald Trump at the suggestion of Mike Pompeo, the secretary of state, was in the final stages of an investigation into whether the administration had acted illegally when officials declared the emergency. Linick had presented preliminary findings to senior State Department officials in early March.The new proposal would effectively build off the sale pushed through over Congress' objections last year, sending an additional 7,500 precision-guided missiles from Raytheon to Riyadh on top of the 60,000 bombs Saudi officials bought last summer, according to a congressional aide who described it on the condition of anonymity because it had not yet been officially turned over to Congress. As of December, roughly a third of those munitions had been delivered.Perhaps more significant, it would allow Raytheon to expand an already approved relationship with the Saudis to build high-tech bomb parts in Saudi Arabia. That provision was initially included in last year's emergency declaration, but the proposal currently being considered would authorize additional manufacturing, the aide said, including an earlier version of the precision-guided missile the Saudis have already bought from Raytheon.Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said the plan to expand an existing manufacturing relationship was particularly objectionable given that Trump has defended the weapons sales as vital to creating new U.S. jobs."I don't think we should ever sell arms to a dangerous country because it creates jobs," Murphy said, but "this frankly robs the president of one of his primary arguments for why these sales are so necessary.""If they're going to kill civilians, further destabilize the Middle East, and it's not going to create jobs, then what the hell is the point?" he added in an interview.A State Department official declined to comment, citing a policy of not addressing or confirming proposed defense sales until Congress has been formally notified. The existence of the proposal was first reported by The Daily Beast and confirmed by Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, the top Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee, in an op-ed article for CNN.Bipartisan outrage erupted in Congress last year over the United States' relationship with Saudi Arabia after the administration's tepid response to the death of Jamal Khashoggi, the Washington Post columnist and Virginia resident. Lawmakers have also blamed the administration for aggravating the Yemen crisis and for the killing of civilians there in the five-year civil war, which has helped create the world's greatest humanitarian crisis.But each time lawmakers have tried to curtail Washington's relationship with Riyadh, Trump has intervened. The president used his first veto to reject legislation that would have ended U.S. military involvement in Saudi Arabia's war in Yemen, and he later vetoed a bipartisan measure blocking the sale of billions of dollars of munitions to the kingdom."This resolution would weaken America's global competitiveness and damage the important relationship we share with our allies and partners," Trump said in a statement after vetoing that bill. He added that "Saudi Arabia is a bulwark against the malign activities of Iran and its proxies in the region."If the State Department were to advance the munitions sale over lawmakers' objections, it is unlikely Congress could block it. Both chambers would need to muster enough support to form a veto-proof majority opposing the sale.But Murphy, who has been one of the most vocal proponents of ending U.S. military involvement in Saudi Arabia, suggested that lawmakers could be more resistant to the sales after an FBI report that found that the gunman in last year's deadly shooting at a military base in Florida, a Saudi Air Force cadet, was regularly in touch with al-Qaida for years."There are more questions now than ever about the nature of our relationship with Saudi Arabia, and I have no idea why we would reward them with another arms sale after we just got confirmation that they sent an al-Qaida recruit onto one of our military bases," he said.A New York Times investigation found that Trump's aggressive arms sale policies were met with alarm by some in the State Department, in part because the administration did not seem concerned with human rights issues. Within the department, veteran Foreign Service officers strongly opposed Pompeo's decision last year to declare an emergency over Iran to circumvent Congress, but Pompeo told department officials to find a way to push the sales through.This article originally appeared in The New York Times.(C) 2020 The New York Times Company

| Isolation for 14 days 'unnecessary', claims Germany's top government scientist Posted: 29 May 2020 06:48 AM PDT  Fourteen-day isolation periods are not necessary to defeat the coronavirus and a second wave of infections can be avoided, Germany's leading government scientist said on Friday. With what is now known about the virus, it is possible to contain further outbreaks, claimed Prof Christian Drosten, chief advisor to Angela Merkel's government on the crisis. One week's isolation is enough to prevent the spread of infection, rather than the 14 days currently recommended by the UK and elsewhere, he said. "In the beginning, of course, we needed the whole wide range of measures because we didn't know exactly what would help. Now we know the virus better, we know better how it spreads," Prof Drosten said in an interview with Germany's Spiegel magazine. "The incubation period and the time in which you are contagious are all much shorter than originally thought." There is still no sign of a second wave in Germany almost six weeks after the country began lifting its lockdown, and Prof Drosten said it may be possible to avoid one completely. "There is a theoretical possibility that we can get through without a second wave," he said. The way the virus is spread by relatively few people — the so-called "superspreaders" — means it is easier to control than initially feared, he explained.

| Probe: Top US official misused office to get son-in-law job Posted: 29 May 2020 06:04 AM PDT  A senior Trump administration official misused his office for private gain by capitalizing on his government connections to help get his son-in-law hired at the Environmental Protection Agency, investigators said in a report obtained by The Associated Press. The Interior Department's Inspector General found that Assistant Interior Secretary Douglas Domenech reached out to a senior EPA official in person and later by email in 2017 to advocate for the son-in-law when he was seeking a job at the agency. Investigators said Domenech also appeared to misuse his position to promote a second family member's wedding-related business to the same EPA official, who was engaged at the time.

The Anti-Defamation League also has decried the appointment of Mark Kevin Lloyd. Lloyd shared a post calling Islam "a barbaric cult" that year, The Associated Press reported at the time, and shared a meme — days after a mass shooting in Orlando by a Muslim pledging allegiance to the Islamic State — saying people should be forced to eat bacon before they can purchase firearms.

| VIRUS DIARY: For boy with Down syndrome, new path of therapy Posted: 29 May 2020 05:42 AM PDT  It was the first time I had heard Pablo say an approximation of an animal name. In early March, fear over how the virus could impact Pablo pushed us to pull him from therapies.
