7A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, JUNE 18, 2018 WORLD IN BRIEF allegedly tried to sell him dirt on Hillary Clinton. The meeting between Stone and a man who identified himself as Henry Greenberg was described in a pair of letters sent Friday to the House Intelligence Committee. Stone and Michael Caputo, a Trump cam- paign aide who arranged the 2016 meeting, did not disclose the contact in their interviews with the committee. But they now believe the man was an FBI informant trying to set them up in a bid to undermine Trump’s campaign. Greenberg could not immediately be reached for comment, but in a text to the Post he denied he was working for the FBI when he met with Stone. The letters written by Stone and Caputo’s law- yers say that, in late May 2016, Caputo received a call from his Russian business partner intro- ducing him to Greenberg, who claimed he had information about Clinton that he wanted to share with the campaign. Caputo suggested Greenberg meet with Stone, who had left the campaign in 2015 but remained an informal Trump adviser. At Caputo’s request, Stone met with Green- berg at a Florida cafe, where Greenberg asked for $2 million in exchange for the informa- tion, according to Stone’s lawyer. Stone swiftly rejected the offer, explaining that neither he nor Trump would ever pay for “political informa- tion,” his lawyer wrote. Both men say they quickly forgot about the episode, which marks the latest in a long list of unusual contacts between Russians and Trump campaign officials as well as offers of help. Associated Press Gunfire erupts at New Jersey arts festival; 22 people wounded TRENTON, N.J. — Gunmen opened fire at an all-night arts and music festival early Sunday morning, sending people running over each other in the scramble to safety, authorities said. One suspect was killed and 22 people, including two suspects, were injured. Of 17 people treated for gunshot wounds, four of them, including a 13-year-old boy, were criti- cally injured but three had been upgraded to sta- ble by evening, leaving only one man believed to be a suspect in critical condition, Mercer County Prosecutor Angelo Onofri. The shots rang out around 2:45 a.m. as an estimated 1,000 or more people were attending the Art All Night Trenton festival that showcases local art, music, food and films. Onofri said numerous fights inside and out- side had prompted police to tell organizers that the event needed to be shut down because “there was a report that the mood inside the venue had been changing.” Organizers were in the process of doing that when the shooting started, he said. Authorities believe several neighborhood gangs had a dispute at the venue, and multi- ple suspects began shooting at each other, with police returning fire, Onofri said. Tahaij Wells, 33, the suspect who was killed, had recently been released from prison and was on parole since February on homicide-related charges, Onofri said. Amir Armstrong, 23, listed in stable condition, was charged with a weapons offense. It was not immediately known if he had an attorney who could comment. Multiple weapons were confiscated, includ- ing a handgun with an extended-capacity maga- zine containing more ammunition than is allowed under New Jersey law, Onofri said. Merkel, allies avert collision for now in German migrant row BERLIN — Chancellor Angela Merkel’s allies in Bavaria averted an immediate collision today with the German leader, giving her two weeks to make deals on migration with other European countries instead of turning them back unilaterally at Germany’s border. In her fourth term at the helm of Europe’s largest economy, Merkel made it clear that she has no intention of being pushed around after an internal power struggle over immigration esca- lated into a threat to her government. She said she would report back July 1 on the results of her negotiations, and that as far as she’s concerned it’s not yet clear what will happen if there’s no European deal on the divisive topic. Her interior minister, Horst Seehofer, has U.S. Customs and Border Protection People who’ve been taken into custody sit in one of the cages Sunday at a facility in McAllen, Texas. Trump digs in on immigration amid family separation crisis WASHINGTON — Facing a rising tide of outrage from Democrats and some Republicans over the forced separation of migrant children and parents at the U.S.-Mexico border, President Donald Trump dug in today, again falsely blaming Democrats in the escalating political crisis. Democrats have turned up the pressure over the policy, and some Republicans have joined the chorus of criticism. Former first lady Laura Bush has called the policy “cruel” and “immoral” while GOP Sen. Susan Collins expressed concern about it and a former adviser to Trump questioned using the policy to pressure Democrats on immigration legislation. Trump tweeted, “Why don’t the Democrats give us the votes to fix the world’s worst immi- gration laws? Where is the outcry for the killings and crime being caused by gangs and thugs, including MS-13, coming into our country illegally?” Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen refused today to apologize for enforcing immigration laws that result in the separation of children from their parents. Speaking at a meeting of the National Sheriffs’ Association in New Orleans, she rejected criticism accusing DHS of inhuman and immoral actions. “We are doing none of those things. We are enforcing the laws passed by Congress,” she said, calling on Congress to reform immigration laws. Nearly 2,000 children were separated from their families over a six-week period in April and May after Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced a new “zero-tolerance” policy that refers all cases of illegal entry for criminal prosecution. U.S. protocol prohibits detaining chil- dren with their parents because the children are not charged with a crime and the parents are. Nielsen said that releasing parents with their children amounts to a “get out of jail free card” policy for those in the country illegally. been calling for Germany to turn back migrants at the border who have previously applied for asylum or registered as asylum-seekers in other European countries. Merkel opposes such unilat- eral action, arguing that it would increase pres- sure on Mediterranean countries such as Italy and Greece and weaken the entire 28-nation Euro- pean Union. Seehofer heads the Bavaria-only Christian Social Union, the sister party to Merkel’s Chris- tian Democratic Union. The CSU is determined to show that it’s tough on migration, arguing that this is the best way to cut support for the anti-mi- gration, far-right Alternative for Germany party ahead of a challenging state election in Bavaria in October. A CSU leadership meeting today in Munich 5 dead as SUV chased by Border Patrol agents crashes in South Texas unanimously backed Seehofer’s plan to give Merkel until the end of the month to find a solu- tion with other EU countries. That banished — if only for now — the specter of Seehofer pushing through his proposal in defiance of the chancellor, which would risk bringing down her government. Trump adviser Stone reveals new meeting with Russian figure WASHINGTON — Special counsel Robert Mueller is examining a previously undisclosed meeting between longtime Donald Trump con- fidant Roger Stone and a Russian figure who BIG WELLS, Texas — At least five people were killed and several others hurt Sunday as an SUV carrying more than a dozen people during a suspected “smuggling event” crashed while flee- ing from Border Patrol agents in South Texas, authorities said. The SUV carrying 14 people went out of con- trol at more than 100 mph and overturned on Texas Highway 85, ejecting most of the occu- pants, Dimmit County Sheriff Marion Boyd said. Four victims were dead at the scene, Boyd said. He said at least one and possibly two others died at a hospital. The Border Patrol said in a statement Sun- day night that two other vehicles had been trav- eling alongside the SUV earlier in the day. A bor- der agent stopped one of the vehicles and another agent stopped a second one. Multiple people from both vehicles were arrested. The third vehicle kept going when agents encountered it, and a sheriff’s deputy took over the chase prior to the fatal crash, the border patrol said. Most of the occupants in the SUV were believed in the country without legal permission. Boyd said the driver and one passenger were believed to be U.S. citizens.
