The House of Representatives is now investigating whether President Donald Trump lied to special counsel Robert Mueller in written answers he provided in the Russia investigation, the House's general counsel said in federal court Monday.

"Did the President lie? Was the President not truthful in his responses to the Mueller investigation?" House general counsel Douglas Letter told the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit about why the House now needs access to grand jury material Mueller collected in his investigation.

The US has shifted its position on Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, no longer viewing them as inconsistent with international law.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the status of the West Bank was for Israelis and Palestinians to negotiate.

Israel immediately welcomed the move - a reversal of the US position under Mr Trump's predecessor Barack Obama.

Settlements are communities established by Israel on land occupied in the 1967 Middle East war. They have long been a source of dispute between Israel and the international community, and the Palestinians.

President Donald Trump's administration has displayed a much more tolerant attitude towards settlement activity than his predecessor, Barack Obama.

Israel's Public Security and Strategic Affairs Minister, Gilad Erdan, tweeted: "I applaud the courageous decision of the American administration."

What is the Jewish settlements controversy?

The issue of Jewish settlements is one of the most contentious between Israel and the Palestinians, who see them as an obstacle to peace.

About 500,000 Jews live in about 140 settlements built since Israel's 1967 occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The settlements are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this.

What US position is Mr Pompeo overturning?

In 1978, the Carter administration concluded that the establishment of civilian settlements was inconsistent with international law, although in 1981 President Reagan disagreed with that conclusion, saying he didn't believe the settlements were inherently illegal.

For decades, the US had described the settlements as "illegitimate", refraining from calling them "illegal" and sheltering Israel from condemnatory resolutions on the issue at the United Nations.

However one of the last acts of the Obama administration, at the end of 2016, was to refrain from usual US practice by not vetoing a UN resolution that urged an end to illegal Israeli settlements.

Mr Pompeo said the Trump administration had studied all sides of the debate and agreed with President Reagan, adding: "The establishment of Israeli civilians settlements in the West Bank is not per se in consistent with international law."

quote:

U.S. State Department officials were informed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy was feeling pressure from the Trump administration to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden even before the July phone call that has led to impeachment hearings in Washington, two people with knowledge of the matter told The Associated Press.

In early May, officials at the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, including then-Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, were told Zelenskiy was seeking advice on how to navigate the difficult position he was in, the two people told the AP. He was concerned President Donald Trump and associates were pressing him to take action that could affect the 2020 U.S. presidential race, the two individuals said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because of the diplomatic and political sensitivity of the issue.

State Department officials in Kyiv and Washington were briefed on Zelenskiy’s concerns at least three times, the two sources said. Notes summarizing his worries were circulated within the department, they said.

The briefings and the notes show that U.S. officials knew early that Zelenskiy was feeling pressure to investigate Biden, even though the Ukrainian leader later denied it in a joint news conference with Trump in September.

Zelenskiy's office has not replied to requests for comment about the May 7 meeting.

Notes circulated internally at the State Department indicated that Zelenskiy tried to mask the real purpose of his May 7 meeting __ which was to talk about political problems with the White House __ by saying it was about energy, the two people with knowledge of the matter said.

White House official sues Politico for story about his role in Trump's Ukraine dealings

An official on the White House's National Security Council (NSC) sued Politico and one of its reporters on Monday over a story claiming the staffer had passed information on Ukraine to President Trump.

Court filings uploaded by Breitbart News reveal that Kashyap Patel, a senior director with the NSC, is suing the news outlet for more than $25 million in damages over a story published earlier in November claiming that Patel had fed the president information on Ukraine that depicted the nation as rife with corruption.

Patel, a former staffer with ranking House Intelligence Committee member Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), denied the claim at the time through the White House press office, which called the story "fake news."

"This case is about Politico’s malicious efforts in 2019 to target and destroy the stellar career and reputation of a dedicated attorney, senior adviser and civil servant. In a series of articles and tweets, Politico, directly and by implication, falsely accused Kash Patel of lying, deceit and unethical conduct," reads Patel's lawsuit.

"Politico intentionally published the false statements in order to undermine Kash’s credibility and impair his ability to serve the United States of America and the President," the lawsuit continued. "Because Politico, [reporter Natasha] Bertrand and [owner Robert] Allbritton acted intentionally and with actual malice, ill-will, spite and an unbridled desire to injure, Kash also seeks an award of punitive damages to punish these Defendants and to deter other so-called 'journalists' from using their pens as swords in a similar way."

Patel's lawsuit contends that the staffer did not speak with Trump about Ukraine-related issues before Oct. 30, refuting the report based on an account of claims made by Fiona Hill, a former adviser to the president, to investigators in the House's impeachment inquiry related to Patel's involvement.

Als die naam blacked out is wil ik nog aannemen dat hij één of andere reden heeft om het te ontkennen, ook al zal het uitkomen. Maar als ze hem noemt en het staat in de transcripts, dan zou naar de rechter stappen onzinnig zijn..

quote:

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) described the House impeachment inquiry as an effort to sabotage President Trump’s administration and raised questions about the credibility of a key witness on the eve of that person's public testimony.

Johnson, a Trump ally, suggested in a letter that Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a National Security Council official who is slated to testify publicly before the House Intelligence Committee Tuesday morning, may be among a class of government bureaucrats who aim to push back on Trump’s policies “by leaking to the press and participating in the ongoing effort to sabotage his policies and, if possible, remove him from office.”

“I view this impeachment inquiry as a continuation of a concerted, and possibly coordinated, effort to sabotage the Trump administration that probably began in earnest the day after the 2016 presidential election,” Johnson wrote in the letter Monday to Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), the top Republicans on the House Oversight and Intelligence Committees, respectively. Jordan was recently moved onto the Intelligence Committee, which is conducting the public hearings.
