Trump's SOTU Address to Go Ahead Despite Pelosi Threat, White House Confirms By Jay Greenberg

Trump's SOTU Address to Go Ahead Despite Pelosi Threat, White House Confirms

The White House has confirmed that President Donald Trump's annual State of the Union address will go ahead next week, despite a warning from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that it should be postponed until after the partial government shutdown has ended. The details of the SOTU remain up in the air, however, after Pelosi strongly urged the president to delay the speech or submit it in writing amid the government shutdown fight over border wall funding. It remains unclear at what venue the address, scheduled for January 29, will be in, and the White House may even be planning for the possibility of a speech outside of Washington DC. “We are still in a holding pattern,” one senior source told Fox News.

Former Top FBI Lawyer Admits to 'Irregularities' in Russia Probe, FISA Warrant By Jay Greenberg

Former Top FBI Lawyer Admits to 'Irregularities' in Russia Probe, FISA Warrant

A former top FBI lawyer has admitted to House investigators that he was personally involved in the FISA warrant to spy on then-Trump Campaign aide Carter Page and noted "irregularities" in both the application and the basis for Russia probe, according to a leaked transcript. During a closed-door congressional interview, ex-FBI counsel James Baker told investigators that the Bureau and the Justice Department had taken "unusual" steps in the FBI’s Russia probe in 2016. In October, Baker told House investigators he was only "aware of the [Russia] investigation," but his recent admission confirms he was directly involved in the early stages of the surveillance of Donald Trump's team. A copy of the leaked transcript was obtained by Fox News who has confirmed details of the record which is still under government review before its public release. Baker testified that he was briefed on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant “as time went by” and confirmed that he became involved early on in the process. The bases for the warrant relied heavily on the unverified anti-Trump Steele dossier, which was paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee via their law firm, Perkins Coie. “I don't want to see it at the end, like when it is about to go to the director [for] certification, because then it is hard to make changes then," Baker told House investigators when Republicans were in control of the chamber. "So I wanted to see it when it was gelled enough but before it went through the process and before it went to the director. "I wanted to see it and I wanted to read it because I knew it was sensitive."

As far as I'm aware, and again that is without official numbers, we have the same workforce reporting for duty under the shutdown as we regularly do under normal circumstances."

Merkel, Macron Sign France-Germany Treaty, Boast of Coming 'European Army' By Jay Greenberg

Merkel, Macron Sign France-Germany Treaty, Boast of Coming 'European Army'

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron signed a new pact between France and Germany on Tuesday, that they promise will pave the way for the two countries to form a "European army." The two leaders inked the Franco-German agreement in the ancient western city of Aachen, Germany, vowing to build a "common military culture" between the two nations. In a speech during the signing ceremony, Merkel declared that the new Aachen Treaty "contributes to the creation of a European army," but warned of rising nationalism and populism in Europe. The new accord was signed on the 56-year anniversary of the 1963 Elysee Treaty, which set the tone for the two countries' close relationship when the end of World War II also ended centuries of conflict between France and Germany. Both Merkel and Macron have long been pushing the idea of a joint European Army for the bloc that would be part of the broader NATO alliance. US President Donald Trump mocked both European leaders late last year by tweeting that "it was Germany in World Wars One & Two - How did that work out for France?" Emmanuel Macron suggests building its own army to protect Europe against the U.S., China and Russia. But it was Germany in World Wars One & Two - How did that work out for France? They were starting to learn German in Paris before the U.S. came along. Pay for NATO or not! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 13, 2018
