Puerto Rico zou eenzelfde verzoek kunnen doen, maar dat hebben ze simpelweg nog nooit gedaan.

Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen likely to cooperate as his attorneys leave case, sources say (ABC News)

As attorneys for Michael Cohen rush to meet Judge Kimba Wood's Friday deadline to complete a privilege review of over 3.7 million documents seized in the April 9 raids of Cohen's New York properties and law office, a source representing this matter has disclosed to ABC News that the law firm handling the case for Cohen is not expected to represent him going forward.

To date, Cohen has been represented by Stephen Ryan and Todd Harrison of the Washington and New York firm, McDermott, Will & Emery LLP.

No replacement counsel has been identified as of this time.

Cohen, now with no legal representation, is likely to cooperate with federal prosecutors in New York, sources said. This development, which is believed to be imminent, will likely hit the White House, family members, staffers and counsels hard.

Special counsel Robert Mueller on Wednesday filed a request for 150 blank subpoenas in the Eastern District of Virginia, where former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort lives.

The two-page filing reveals little, but says that that each subpoena recipient must appear in the Alexandria, Va., courthouse on July 25 to testify in the case.

Judge T.S. Ellis III has now moved the trial date twice, first from July 10 to July 24, and then from that date to July 25.

The 150 blank subpoenas amount to 75 total possible subpoenas — in each case, a subpoena is needed for the witness and another is needed for the defense. Court documents filed in April show that Mueller's team was pushing to subpoena 35 witnesses in the trial.

In May, court documents showed he had filed 70 blank subpoenas.

A blank subpoena means the party serving the subpoena, in this case the federal government, can fill in the name later, as long as it is done so before the subpoena is served.

The document says each recipient “must also bring with you the following documents, electronically stored information or objects” — but what follows that line is under seal.

In Virginia, Manafort is facing charges including tax fraud and failing to report foreign bank accounts.

Manafort is due in court Friday in Washington, when Judge Amy Berman Jackson will hear arguments from Mueller’s team why she should revoke his bail and jail him due to allegations he sought to tamper with potential witnesses in the case against him.

Last week, Mueller unveiled a superseding indictment against Manafort, charging him with obstruction. Russian businessman Konstantin Kilimnik was also charged with obstruction.

The indictment alleged that Manafort and Kilimnik “knowingly and intentionally attempted to corruptly persuade” two people connected with the Hapsburg Group, a firm Manafort worked with while lobbying for Ukrainian clients “with intent to influence, delay, and prevent the testimony of any person in an official proceeding.”

Jackson ruled Tuesday that Mueller must reveal the identities of the unnamed people he's hoping to use in the case against Manafort.

“[The] defendant is obliged to prepare for a complex trial with a voluminous record within a relatively short period of time, and he should not have to be surprised at a later point by the addition of a new name or allegation,” Jackson wrote.

Corker: GOP becoming 'cult-like' on Trump (The Hill)

GOP Sen. Bob Corker (Tenn.) warned on Wednesday that members of his party are becoming "cult-like" in their support of President Trump, pointing to leadership's unwillingness to challenge the White House on tariffs.

"We are in a strange place. I mean, it’s almost, it’s becoming a cultish thing, isn’t it? And it’s not a good place for any party to end up with a cult-like situation as it relates to a president that happens to be of — purportedly, of the same party," Corker told reporters.

Pressed on whether he feels Republicans are currently in a "cult-like situation," Corker acknowledged that there are some GOP lawmakers who stand up to Trump and it would be "unfair to try to say" that "about every member."

"[But] is leadership in general not wishing to poke the bear? Absolutely, because it's all about the next election, right?" said Corker, who is retiring after 2018.

Corker's comments come after he was blocked from getting a vote on his bill to rein in Trump on tariffs. His bill, which is backed by roughly a dozen senators, would require congressional approval if Trump wanted to impose tariffs in the name of national security.

Corker added on Wednesday that leadership is "wary" of upsetting the president and "there's a definite fear there."

"It's not a good place for us to be. You know, I think about the things that we, generally speaking, have stood for ... sort of where the Republican Party has been traditionally and were it is today is quite divergent," Corker told reporters.

Trump sparked a backlash from GOP lawmakers with his decision to impose steep tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from the European Union, Canada and Mexico.

But GOP leadership, as well as many rank-and-file members, have shown little interest in legislation that would rein in Trump.

Such a move would set up a high-stakes showdown between the president and members of his own party months before a midterm election, and likely provoke Trump to lash out at individual members.

"There's no question that leadership in general is wary of doing anything that might upset the president. I mean, we're going to be here during recess, generally speaking, which is fine with me but, look, it's more about Trump being upset than it is about anything else," Corker said.

Corker's comments echo that of MSNBC's Joe Scarborough on Wednesday's "Morning Joe," with the former GOP congressman arguing that "primary voters in the Republican Party have devolved into a Trumpist cult."

"There is no more conservative person on protecting tax dollars, balancing the budget, paying down the debt," Scarborough said of GOP Rep. Mark Sanford (S.C.), who lost his primary on Tuesday night as his opponent labeled him a Trump critic. Trump also tweeted 11th-hour criticism of Sanford on Tuesday afternoon.

"But primary voters said no, we don’t care that he’s one of the most conservative people in Congress. He said one or two bad things about Trump," said Scarborough.

“Why don’t we just say it has devolved into a cult? Primary voters in the Republican Party have devolved into a Trumpist cult," the host added.

Trump Appointee Compiles Loyalty List of U.S. Employees at U.N., State (Foreign Policy)
Mari Stull’s arrival at the State Department’s International Organization Bureau is triggering an exodus of top career staffers.

A senior advisor to the State Department appointed just two months ago has been quietly vetting career diplomats and American employees of international institutions to determine whether they are loyal to President Donald Trump and his political agenda, according to nearly a dozen current and former U.S. officials.

Mari Stull, a former food and beverage lobbyist-turned-wine blogger under the name “Vino Vixen,” has reviewed the social media pages of State Department staffers for signs of ideological deviation. She has researched the names of government officials to determine whether they signed off on Obama-era policies — though signing off does not mean officials personally endorsed them but merely cleared them through the bureaucratic chain. And she has inquired about Americans employed by international agencies, including the World Health Organization and the United Nations, asking their colleagues when they were hired and by whom, according the officials.

“She is actively making lists and gathering intel,” said one of the sources, a senior diplomat. Stull was named in April as a senior advisor to the State Department’s Bureau of International Organization Affairs, which manages U.S. diplomatic relations with the United Nations and other international institutions.

Her probing, along with a highly secretive management style, has become so uncomfortable that at least three senior officials are poised to leave the bureau, according to the sources. Officials there have warned some Americans employed by the U.N. to sidestep traditional meet-and-greet sessions with the department’s upper management to avoid drawing attention to themselves.

“She is gunning for American citizens in the U.N. to see if they are toeing the line,” the diplomatic source added.

Trump: “We are paying from 60 percent of 90 percent of NATO.”

Nope, nope, nope. Trump never gets this correct.

There are two types of funding for NATO: direct funding and indirect funding. Direct funding, for military-related operations, maintenance and headquarters activity, is based on gross national income — the total domestic and foreign output claimed by residents of a country — and adjusted regularly. With the largest economy in NATO, the United States pays the largest share — about 22 percent. Germany is second, with about 15 percent. A significant portion of the U.S. share is operating the Airborne Early Warning and Control System (AWACS) fleet, according to the Congressional Research Service.

The U.S. share of the actual military budget is negotiated each year, but largely based on the cost-sharing formula, and amounts to less than $500 million a year, according to Defense Department documents. That’s chump change in a $700 billion military budget.

As for indirect funding, since 2006, each NATO member has had a guideline of spending at least 2 percent of gross domestic product on defense spending. At a 2014 summit, responding to Russian aggression in Ukraine, NATO members pledged to meet that guideline by 2024.

As of 2017, 12 of the 28 members exceed the guideline — with the United States leading the way at 3.6 percent. But this is simply money that each country would spend on its own military — or on missions that do not include NATO, such as peacekeeping in Africa.

Norway to ask US for additional Marine presence near Russia border

Norway will ask the United States to send 700 U.S. Marines to the country amid heightened concerns about Russia.

The U.S. initially sent Marines to the country in 2017 to train for fighting in winter conditions. Those troops are scheduled to leave Norway at the end of the year.

But Oslo is expected to ask the U.S. to send 700 Marines in 2019, Norwegian Foreign Minister Ine Eriksen Soereide told reporters, according to Reuters. The additional troops would be based near the border with Russia.

Soereide said that the Marines' presence in Norway is not intended to establish a permanent U.S. military base nor is the move intended to target Russia.

"There are no American bases on Norwegian soil," she said.

Still, Oslo has become increasingly wary of Russia's intentions after Moscow annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014, Reuters noted. The U.S. Marines are the first foreign troops to be stationed in the country since World War II.

quote:

Norway and the United States enter into political talks about an increased US military presence in Norway. This confirms defense minister Frank Bakke-Jensen. But he does not want to say what the United States wants to deploy in Norway.

We have received some inquiries from the USA, says Bakke-Jensen.

- Then we'll see what's appropriate for us, and we'll take it in the political channels before it can be published.

- Can you say something about what the United States really wants to do in Norway, beyond what they do today?

"No," replies Bakke-Jensen.

From before, it is known that the United States wants to place a larger portion of the US Marine Corps at Værnes in Trøndelag, beyond the American soldiers who have so far practiced there.

Since 2016, Norway and the United States have had an agreement on rotation training for up to 330 troops from the Navy Corps. The agreement was renewed in 2017.

Last year, VG announced that the US Marine Corps wanted to make Værnes its main base in Europe.

Last week, Colonel Doug Bruun told the Adresseavisen that they wanted to double the framework for soldiers to 650.

Also, Rygge and Andøya can get American aircraft for shorter or longer periods.

In President Donald Trump's defense budget, $ 12 million has been set up for rebuilding Rygge Airport in Østfold, and preparing the airport for a progressive base for a group of American combat aircraft, according to the Air Force Times news site.

Here it is a matter of advance equipment, and then rotating training at Rygge and another eight flight stations around Europe.

Andøya can also be the base for increased American activity. On Tuesday, the Storting confirmed that the airplane should be shut down and the Norwegian navy surveillance aircraft will be moved to Evenes when delivered in a few years.

But this week, the site Aldmer.no announced that up to five P-8A Poseidon from the US Navy is waiting for Andøya to commute in June.

Bakke-Jensen does not want to say anything about the different bases. But he confirms that the government and parliamentary majority want more Allied forces to work in Norway:

"We have said in the Armed Forces' long-term plan that we will have increased allied training, so it's a little bit insightful with the different processes. In the United States, you can often raise ideas and start budgeting processes before contacting us, "he says.

Frank Bakke-Jensen will also not respond when the government is ready to answer the US request.

"We'll look at that," he answers.

- Will it be this year?

"We'll see," said the minister of defense.

Shah is also considering his exit, but he has not yet settled on an exact date. Neither Sanders nor Shah immediately responded to repeated requests for comment.

Several other lower-level positions in the communications department left vacant in recent weeks are likely to remain unfilled, with more departures expected in the coming weeks, according to a former official.

Currently 196 countries are parties to the treaty (some with stated reservations or interpretations). This includes every member of the United Nations (except the United States), plus the Cook Islands, Niue, the State of Palestine, and the Holy See.[5][7] The United States has not ratified it.[18] South Sudan did not sign the convention, however ratification was complete in January 2015.[19] Somalia's domestic ratification finished in January 2015 and the instrument was deposited with the United Nations in October 2015.[20]

All successor states of Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Czech Republic, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Slovenia, and Slovakia) made declarations of succession to the treaty and currently apply it.[18]

The convention does not apply in the territories of Akrotiri and Dhekelia, Gibraltar, Guernsey and Tokelau.[18]

[...]

The United States government played an active role in the drafting of the Convention and signed it on 16 February 1995, but has not ratified it. It has been claimed that American opposition to the Convention stems primarily from political and religious conservatives.[55] For example, The Heritage Foundation sees "a civil society in which moral authority is exercised by religious congregations, family, and other private associations is fundamental to the American order".[56] and the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) argues that the CRC threatens homeschooling.[57]

The United States had permitted the execution and life imprisonment of juvenile offenders, in contravention of the Article 37 of the Convention.[1] In 2005, a Supreme Court decision declared juvenile executions to be unconstitutional as "cruel and unusual punishment";[58][59][60] in 2012, the Court held that mandatory sentences of life without the possibility of parole are unconstitutional for juvenile offenders.[61]

State laws regarding the practice of closed adoption may also require overhaul in light of the Convention's position that children have a right to identity from birth.

During his 2008 campaign for President, Senator Barack Obama described the failure to ratify the Convention as "embarrassing" and promised to review the issue[62][63] but he never did. No President of the United States has submitted the treaty to the United States Senate requesting its advice and consent to ratification since the US signed it in 1995.[64]

The United States has ratified two of the optional protocols to the Convention,[9][10] the Optional Protocol on the Involvement of Children in Armed Conflict, and the Optional Protocol on the Sale of Children, Child Prostitution and Child Pornography.

NEW YORK (AP) -- New York's attorney general says President Donald Trump's foundation served as a personal piggy bank for his businesses, legal bills and presidential campaign.

Democratic Attorney General Barbara Underwood filed a lawsuit Wednesday against the foundation and its directors, Trump and his children Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump. The suit seeks $2.8 million in restitution and the dissolution of the foundation.

Underwood says the foundation illegally helped support the Republican's campaign by raising money at a nationally televised fundraiser in January 2016, then allowing campaign staffers to dictate how the money was spent in grants.

Republican Reps. Andy Biggs (Ariz.), Ron DeSantis (Fla.) and Matt Gaetz (Fla.) are requesting all unrevised drafts of the Department of Justice's (DOJ) report on the procedures it used during the investigation into Hillary Clinton's email use.

In a letter sent to DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz on Thursday, the lawmakers -- all members of the House Judiciary Committee -- argue congressional oversight is needed, as drafts were circulated within the DOJ and FBI before the report was made public.

"Your team has worked to ensure that this report is thorough and accurate; however, an investigation of this magnitude and consequence deserves heightened scrutiny to ensure that the process has not been compromised in any way," they wrote. "The trust of the America people depends on it. We are concerned that during this time, people may have changed the report in a way that obfuscates your findings."
The lawmakers noted the DOJ has previously rebuked requests for documents related to the investigation, adding they don't believe the security concerns cited by the agency are valid.

"Unfortunately, over the past year, the DOJ has repeatedly fought requests by Congress to produce documents related to this investigation, and when the DOJ actually provided documents, the materials have been heavily redacted," they continued. "Past and present DOJ officials have asserted security concerns, even though the documents have not legitimately contained security issues."

The lawmakers said they have "every confidence" the investigation was "thorough and accurate,"

"We request the various drafts of the report, particularly the draft provided to the DOJ and FBI, before those agencies made any changes to the draft report, be provided to us," they wrote.

Former FBI Director James Comey “deviated” from bureau and Justice Department procedures in handling the probe into Hillary Clinton, damaging the agencies’ image of impartiality even though he wasn’t motivated by politics, the department’s watchdog found in a highly anticipated report.

"While we did not find that these decisions were the result of political bias on Comey’s part, we nevertheless concluded that by departing so clearly and dramatically from FBI and department norms, the decisions negatively impacted the perception of the FBI and the department as fair administrators of justice,” Inspector General Michael Horowitz said in the report’s conclusions, which were obtained by Bloomberg News.

quote:

Speaking in an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier about the G-7 summit, which Trump attended in Canada, the president touched on the fact he had suggested Russia be permitted to rejoin the group, despite Russia being ousted in 2014 for annexing Crimea.

“I’m not for Russia. I’m for the United States. But as an example, if Vladimir Putin were sitting next to me at a table instead of one of the others and we were having dinner the other night in Canada, I could say, ‘Would you do me a favor? Would you get out of Syria?’ ‘Would you do me a favor, would you get out of Ukraine? You shouldn’t be there. Just come on,” he said.

"It was an inappropriate for him to do from a protocol perspective, but now he's played right into the North's propaganda about their legitimacy on the world stage."
Kirby said the appropriate thing for Trump to do in that situation would have been to nod his head and shake the general's hand.
"(Trump's) the commander in chief. He doesn't even salute his own generals. They salute him. That's the way it works. You don't certainly don't do it with leaders of foreign military and you most certainly don't do it with the leaders of foreign militaries of an adversary nation."
