WORLD IN BRIEF
Associated Press
Sources: White House
directed Bannon silence
in House interview
WASHINGTON — Steve Bannon’s attor-
ney relayed questions, in real time, to the White
House during a House Intelligence Committee
interview of the former Trump chief strategist,
people familiar with the closed-door session
told The Associated Press.
As lawmakers probed Bannon’s time work-
ing for President Donald Trump, Bannon’s
attorney Bill Burck was asking the White House
counsel’s office by phone during the Tuesday
session whether his client could answer the
questions. He was told by that office not to dis-
cuss his work on the transition or in the White
House.
It’s unclear who Burck was communicating
with in the White House or whether it was top
White House lawyer Don McGahn, who Burck
is also representing in special counsel Robert
Mueller’s investigation into contacts between
the Trump campaign and Russia.
The conversations were confirmed by a
White House official and a second person famil-
iar with Bannon’s interview. They spoke on
condition of anonymity because they were not
authorized to speak publicly.
Bannon refused to answer a broad array of
queries from the House Intelligence Committee
about his time working for Trump, leading the
committee chairman to authorize a subpoena.
Lawmakers were expecting a similar fight
today with Trump’s White House as another
senior aide, Rick Dearborn, appears for a pri-
vate interview with committee.
The developments brought to the forefront
questions about White House efforts to con-
trol what current and former aides tell Con-
gress about their time in Trump’s inner circle,
and whether Republicans on Capitol Hill would
force the issue.
It is unlikely the committee will face the
same White House objections with Trump’s for-
mer campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski,
who is also being interviewed today. He never
served in the White House.
The congressional subpoena came the same
day The New York Times reported that Bannon,
a former far-right media executive and recently
scorned Trump adversary, has been served with
a grand jury subpoena issued by special counsel
Robert Mueller.
Bannon confirmed that he had received the
subpoena from Mueller during his House Intel-
ligence Committee interview.
Ryan presses Dems
to back bill keeping
government open
WASHINGTON — House Speaker Paul
Ryan tried pressuring Democrats today to back
legislation preventing a weekend federal shut-
down. But he gave little ground on the partisan
battle over immigration, an issue many Demo-
crats say must be resolved before they’ll vote to
keep agencies functioning.
A day after conservatives expressed oppo-
sition to the short-term spending bill and said

a snowfall in Knoxville, Tenn.
Across the South, it’s snow,
ice and record-breaking cold
ATLANTA — A thin layer of snow and ice across the South closed highways, schools and
government offices and sent cars sliding off the road today, while a blast of cold air broke
records as far south as the Gulf Coast.
Icicles hung from a statue of jazz musicians in normally balmy New Orleans, and drivers
unaccustomed to ice spun their wheels across Atlanta, which was brought to a near-standstill.
The beach in Biloxi, Mississippi, got a thin coating of snow.
The snowfall sabotaged the morning rush hour before it even began, sending cars crashing
into each other in a swath of the U.S. with precious few snowplows. Officials urged people to
stay off the roads if possible and to bundle up if they ventured outside.
By midday, skies were bright and sunny, but temperatures were expected to remain below
freezing throughout the day in much of the region, and roads were likely to remain icy into
Thursday in some places.
Thousands of schoolchildren and teachers got the day off. Many cities canceled meetings
and court sessions, and some businesses closed.
Icy roads hampered travel as far south as the Gulf Coast, where ice pellets covered the
tops of sago palm trees. Stretches of Interstate 10 were closed in Louisiana and across Ala-
bama’s Mobile Bay.
Snow fell in a wide band that stretched from southeastern Texas all the way to western
Massachusetts. As much as 4 inches fell in parts of North Carolina, where the Highway Patrol
had responded to more than 500 collisions by midday.
GOP leaders lacked the votes to pass it, Ryan
declined to say if he had enough Republican
support to push it through the House this week.
Vote counters planned to gauge GOP support
later today.
Instead, Ryan, R-Wis., said it was “baffling”
why Democrats would oppose the spending
measure, noting it contains money for the mil-
itary and a widely supported children’s health
insurance program. Republicans are hoping the
money for children will pressure some Demo-
crats to back the overall bill.
“I think cool heads hopefully will prevail,”
Ryan told reporters. Congress must approve the
measure by Friday night to prevent a shutdown.
Ryan also said he wants to reach compro-
mise on immigration but won’t bring such a
measure to the House floor unless President
Donald Trump supports it. He said Trump is
being “completely rational” in demanding that
the bill have stronger border security provisions

Rival Koreas agree
to form first unified
Olympic team
SEOUL, South Korea — The rival Koreas
agreed today to form their first unified Olym-
pic team and have their athletes parade together
More actors expressing
regret about working
with Woody Allen
NEW YORK — A growing number of
actors are distancing themselves from Woody
Allen and his next film, heightening questions
about the future of the prolific 82-year-old film-
maker in a Hollywood newly sensitive to alle-
gations of sexual misconduct.
Timothee Chalamet on Tuesday said he will
donate his salary for an upcoming Woody Allen
film to three charities fighting sexual harass-
ment and abuse: Time’s Up, the LGBT Center
in New York and RAINN. The breakout star of
“Call Me By Your Name” announced on Insta-
gram that he didn’t want to profit from his work
on Allen’s “A Rainy Day in New York,” which
wrapped shooting in the fall.
Chalamet is just the latest cast member of
an Allen production to express regret or guilt
about being professionally associated with
the director. In recent weeks, Rebecca Hall
(“A Rainy Day in New York,” ‘’Vicky Cris-
tina Barcelona”), Mira Sorvino (“Mighty Aph-
rodite”), Ellen Page (“To Rome With Love”),
David Krumholtz (“Wonder Wheel”) and Grif-
fith Newman (“A Rainy Day in New York”)
have all in some way distanced themselves
from Allen or vowed that they wouldn’t work
with him again.
Dylan Farrow, Allen’s adopted daughter, in
2014 renewed the claim that Allen molested her
in an attic in 1992 when she was seven. Allen,
who has long denied the allegations, was inves-
tigated for the incident but not charged.

A
than a bipartisan immigration proposal from six
senators that he rejected last week.
Separately, members of the Congressional
Hispanic Caucus and other Democrats met pri-
vately in the Capitol with White House Chief of
Staff John Kelly, and some emerged citing lit-
tle progress. The talks were on legislation aimed
at shielding hundreds of thousands of young
immigrants from deportation who arrived in the
U.S. illegally as children, protections Trump has
ended and will expire in March.
for the first time in 11 years during the opening
ceremony of next month’s Winter Olympics in
South Korea, officials said.
The agreements still require approval from
the International Olympic Committee. But
they are the most prominent steps toward rap-
prochement achieved by the Koreas since they
recently began exploring cooperation during
the Olympics following a year of heightened
tension over the North’s nuclear weapons
program.
During their third day of talks at the bor-
der in about a week, senior officials reached
a package of agreements including fielding a
joint women’s ice hockey team and marching
together under a blue and white “unification
flag” depicting their peninsula in the opening
ceremony, Seoul’s Unification Ministry said.
A joint statement distributed by the ministry
said the North Korean Olympic delegation will
travel to South Korea across their heavily forti-
fied land border before the Feb. 9-25 Pyeongc-
hang Games. It said the delegation will include
a 230-member cheering group, a 30-member
taekwondo demonstration team, journalists,
athletes and officials.
Ahead of the Olympics, the Koreas will hold
a joint cultural event at the North’s scenic Dia-
mond Mountain and have non-Olympic skiers
train together at the North’s Masik ski resort,
according to the statement. It said the North
also plans to send a 150-strong delegation to
the Paralympics in March. The North earlier
said it would send a 140-member art troupe.
The agreements are highly symbolic and
emotional. But it’s still not clear how many
North Korean athletes will come to Pyeongc-
hang because none are currently qualified.
