7A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 15, 2018 WORLD IN BRIEF bulent 2018 primary season lurched toward its finale. A one-time Trump critic, former two- term Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, lost a comeback attempt he was expected to win. Trump fired off a celebratory tweet Wednes- day, hailing “Great Republican election results” and adding “Red Wave!” He also endorsed a series of candidates in Wisconsin, includ- ing Bryan Steil who won the GOP primary for the House seat held by Speaker Paul Ryan and Leah Vukmir, who will face Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin in November. Associated Press Report: Pennsylvania priests molested over 1,000 children HARRISBURG, Pa. — Hundreds of Roman Catholic priests in Pennsylvania molested more than 1,000 children — and possibly many more — since the 1940s, and senior church officials, including a man who is now the archbishop of Washington, D.C., systematically covered up the abuse, according to a grand jury report released Tuesday. The “real number” of abused children might be in the thousands since some secret church records were lost, and victims were afraid to come forward, the grand jury said. “Priests were raping little boys and girls, and the men of God who were responsible for them not only did nothing. They hid it all,” Attorney General Josh Shapiro said. The report put the number of abusive clergy at more than 300. In nearly all of the cases, the statute of limitations has run out, meaning that criminal charges cannot be filed. More than 100 of the priests are dead, and many others are retired or have been dismissed from the priest- hood or put on leave. “We are sick over all the crimes that will go unpunished and uncompensated,” the grand jury said. Authorities evaluated each suspect and were able to charge just two, including a priest who has since pleaded guilty. Shapiro said the inves- tigation is ongoing. The grand jury accused Cardinal Donald Wuerl, who leads the Washington archdiocese, of helping to protect abusive priests when he was Pittsburgh’s bishop. Wuerl, who led the Pittsburgh diocese from 1988 to 2006, disputed the allegations. Dems pick ‘firsts,’ GOP goes for Trump fave in primaries ST. PAUL, Minn. — In a night of firsts, Democrats in Vermont’s primary chose the nation’s first transgender gubernatorial nomi- nee. In Minnesota, they picked a woman who would be the first Somali-American member of Congress. Connecticut Democrats nominated a candidate who could become the first black woman from the state to serve in Congress. US, Mexico to announce new plans on cartels AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin Paul Manafort’s lawyers walk to federal court for closing arguments. Prosecution: ‘Manafort and his lies’ at heart of case ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Paul Manafort lied to keep himself flush with cash and to maintain his luxurious lifestyle when his income dropped off, prosecutors told jurors today in closing arguments in the former Trump campaign chairman’s financial fraud trial. The government’s case boils down to “Mr. Manafort and his lies,” prosecutor Greg Andres said. “When you follow the trail of Mr. Manafort’s money, it is littered with lies,” Andres said as he made his final pitch that the jury should weigh a trove of evidence presented over the past few weeks and find Manafort guilty of 18 felony counts. Attorneys for Manafort, who is accused of tax evasion and bank fraud, will have their chance in front of jurors later in the day. Andres took jurors through a methodical rundown of the 18 charges, and the documentary evi- dence supporting each. A screen showed jurors emails written by Manafort that contained some of the most damning evidence indicating he was aware of the fraud, and not simply a victim of underlings who managed his financial affairs. Andres highlighted one email in which he said Manafort sent an inflated statement of his income to bank officers reviewing a loan application he submitted. He highlighted another in which Manafort acknowledged his control of one of more than 30 holding companies in Cyprus that prosecutors say Manafort used to funnel more than $60 million he earned advising politicians in Ukraine. Prosecutors say Manafort falsely declared that money to be loans rather than income to keep from paying taxes on it. Manafort chose not to testify or call any witnesses in his defense. Democrats embraced diversity in Tuesday primaries, while Republicans in Minnesota rejected a familiar face of the GOP old guard in favor of a rising newcomer aligned with Presi- dent Donald Trump. But Minnesota Democrats also backed a national party leader who is facing accusations of domestic violence. He has denied the allega- tions, yet they threaten to undercut enthusiasm in his state and beyond. On the other side, Trump tightened his grip on the modern-day Republican Party as the tur- CHICAGO — Top U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration officials will unveil new plans to combat Mexican drug cartels today in Chi- cago alongside members of the Mexican gov- ernment, military and federal police, officials said. The announcement at a joint news confer- ence will be a public display of bilateral coop- eration amid ongoing tensions over President Donald Trump’s trade and immigration pol- icies, including over his vow to build a wall along the nearly 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexican border. The new plans include putting greater emphasis on attacking cartels’ financial infra- structure. Plans also call for a new enforcement group based in Chicago that will concentrate on international investigations of cartels. Matthew G. Donahue, director for the DEA’s North and Central American Region, said Tues- day that the U.S. wants to rely more on changes in the Mexican legal system in recent years designed to make evidence gathering and pros- ecutions more efficient. “The new game plan is ... pick up the speed and arrest more people, faster,” Donahue said. “That’s what we’re really trying to push — the cooperation that we currently have with Mex- ico to be a little more efficient, a little bit more aggressive.” He said the U.S. also intends to do more to help stem the flow of guns into Mexico that contributes to deadly violence in the country. Around 31,000 people were killed in Mexico last year, a record for a single year. Donahue said the targeting of top cartel brass will remain a core component of bids to disrupt the powerful syndicates. The biggest trophy in this long-standing kingpin strategy was Sinaloa Cartel leader Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, extradited to New York in 2017 to face U.S. trafficking charges.
