7A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, AUGUST 21, 2018 WORLD IN BRIEF helping to elect Republican Donald Trump to the presidency by hurting his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton. Associated Press Microsoft uncovers more Russian hacking ahead of midterms Microsoft has uncovered new Russian hack- ing efforts targeting U.S. political groups ahead of the midterm elections. The company said today that a group tied to the Russian government created fake websites that appeared to spoof two American conserva- tive organizations: the Hudson Institute and the International Republican Institute. Both conser- vative think tanks said they have tried to be vigi- lant about “spear-phishing” email attacks because their global pro-democracy work has frequently drawn the ire of authoritarian governments. Three other fake sites were designed to look as if they belonged to the U.S. Senate. Microsoft didn’t offer any further descrip- tion of the fake sites, although it has previously outlined in court filings how this hacking group operated a network of fake sites designed to trick victims into installing malicious software. Russian officials dismissed the company’s claims as unfounded. Kremlin spokesman Dmi- try Peskov cited the lack of detail on the hack, and said it wasn’t clear “who the hackers in ques- tion are” and how they could distort the U.S. electoral system. The revelation of new hacking efforts arrives just weeks after a similar Microsoft discovery led Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Missouri Democrat who is running for re-election, to reveal that Rus- sian hackers tried unsuccessfully to infiltrate her Senate computer network. The hacking attempts mirror similar Russian attacks ahead of the 2016 election, which U.S. intelligence officials have said were focused on Trump plan scales back Obama’s coal plant emissions standards WASHINGTON — The Trump administra- tion came out with new rules today scaling back Obama-era constraints on coal-fired power plants, striking at one of the former administration’s leg- acy programs to rein in climate-changing fos- sil-fuel emissions. The Environmental Protection Agency called the Obama-era regulations on coal power plants “overly prescriptive and burdensome.” The Trump administration plan broadly increases the leeway given states to decide how and how much to regulate coal power plants. The EPA says it “empowers states, promotes energy independence, and facilitates economic growth and job creation.” Combined with the EPA’s proposal earlier this month to ease mileage requirements for vehicles, the move may actually increase the country’s cli- mate-changing emissions, according to some for- mer top EPA officials, environmental groups, and other opponents. The Natural Resources Defense Council called the replacement proposal Trump’s “Dirty Power Plan.” Democratic Rep. Frank Pallone of New Jer- sey cited this summer’s wildfires and increas- ing droughts and coastal flooding as evidence that man-made climate change from burning coal and other fossil fuels is already well upon the United States. “Once again, this administration is choosing polluters’ profits over public health and safety,” he said. Scientists say that without extensive study they cannot directly link a single weather event to cli- mate change, but climate change is responsible for more intense and more frequent extreme events such as storms, droughts, floods and wildfires. US deports former Nazi camp guard, 95, to Germany BERLIN — The last Nazi war crimes suspect facing deportation from the U.S. was taken from his New York City home and spirited early this morning to Germany, following years of efforts to remove him from the United States. The deportation of the 95-year-old former Nazi camp guard, Jakiw Palij, came 25 years after investigators first confronted him about his World War II past and he admitted lying to get into the U.S., claiming he spent the war as a farmer and factory worker. Palij lived quietly in the U.S. for years, as a draftsman and then as a retiree, until nearly three decades ago when investigators found his name on an old Nazi roster and a fellow former guard spilled the secret that he was “living somewhere in America.” Palij, an ethnic Ukrainian born in a part of Poland that is now Ukraine, told the Justice Department he had Ukrainian citizenship. When their investigators showed up at his door in 1993, he said: “I would never have received my visa if I told the truth. Everyone lied.” A judge stripped Palij’s U.S. citizenship in 2003 for “participation in acts against Jewish civilians” while an armed guard at the Trawniki camp in Nazi-occupied Poland and was ordered deported a year later. But because Germany, Poland, Ukraine, and other countries refused to take him, he continued living in limbo in the two-story, red brick home in Queens he shared with his late wife, Maria. His continued presence there outraged the Jew- ish community, attracting frequent protests over the years that featured such chants as “your neighbor is a Nazi!” Jury in Manafort trial: What if we can’t agree on 1 count? ALEXANDRIA, Va. — The jury in the financial fraud trial of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort asked the judge today what it should do if it cannot reach a consensus for a single count in the case. Jurors posed the question to U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis III on their fourth day of delib- erations, asking how they should fill in the ver- dict form if they are unable to agree on one of the charges. The jury in Alexandria, Virginia is weigh- ing 18 counts against Manafort, who is accused of hiding millions of dollars in foreign income from Ukraine and of lying on loan applications to maintain a lavish lifestyle. Manafort’s attorneys called no witnesses in his defense, arguing prosecutors failed to meet their burden of proof. The question was the first word from the jury since last Thursday when they asked for clarity in several areas, including for a definition of the legal concept of reasonable doubt. In response to Tuesday’s question, the judge said he would not yet ask the jurors where they stood on the indictment. The trial is the first courtroom test of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe, though the case doesn’t involve allegations of Russian election interference.
