WORLD IN BRIEF
Associated Press
Prosecutors recommend
no jail time for
cooperative Flynn
Wisconsin Republicans
weaken incoming Dem
governor, AG
MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin Republicans
passed sweeping legislation today that shifts
power to the Republican-controlled Legislature
and weakens the Democrat replacing Republi-
can Gov. Scott Walker.
Republicans pushed on through protests,
internal disagreement and Democratic opposi-
tion in a lame-duck legislative session to reduce
the powers of Gov.-elect Tony Evers and Dem-
ocratic Attorney General-elect Josh Kaul. Both
Evers and Kaul warned that resulting law-
suits would bring more gridlock to Wisconsin
when the new administration — and the first
divided government in 10 years — takes over
in January.
Republicans were battered in the midterm
election — losing all statewide races amid
strong Democratic turnout — but they retained
legislative majorities thanks to what Democrats
say are gerrymandered districts that tilt the map
against them. The GOP power grab comes after
North Carolina lawmakers took similar steps
two years ago, and as Michigan Republicans are
discussing taking action before a Democratic
governor takes over there.
Republicans passed the legislation in an
all-night session marked by stops and starts as
GOP leaders tried to muster enough votes in the
Senate. That chamber ultimately approved the
package 17-16, with just one Republican vot-
ing against it, around sunrise. The Assembly
approved it on a 56-27 vote about two hours
later, sending it on to Walker, with just one
Republican defecting.
WASHINGTON — President Donald
Trump’s former national security adviser pro-
vided so much information to the special coun-
sel’s Russia investigation that prosecutors say
he shouldn’t do any prison time, according to
a court filing that describes Michael Flynn’s
cooperation as “substantial.”
The filing by special counsel Robert Muel-
ler provides the first details of Flynn’s assistance
in the probe into Russian meddling in the 2016
election and possible contacts with the Trump
campaign.
Flynn participated in 19 interviews with
prosecutors and cooperated extensively in a sep-
arate and undisclosed criminal probe, according
to the filing. But the document’s lengthy redac-
tions also underscore how much Mueller has yet
to reveal.
It was filed Tuesday, two weeks ahead of
Flynn’s sentencing and just over a year after he
became one of five Trump associates to plead
guilty in the Russia probe — in his case admit-
ting to lying to the FBI about conversations
with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. before
Trump took office.
After CIA briefing,
senators lay blame on
Saudi crown prince
WASHINGTON — Breaking with Presi-
dent Donald Trump, senators leaving a briefing
with CIA Director Gina Haspel on Tuesday said
they are even more convinced that Saudi crown
prince Mohammed bin Salman was involved in
the death of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chair-
man Bob Corker, R-Tenn., said he believes if
the crown prince were put on trial, a jury would
find him guilty in “about 30 minutes.”
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., who
demanded the briefing with Haspel, said there is
“zero chance” the crown prince wasn’t involved
in Khashoggi’s death.
“There’s not a smoking gun. There’s a smok-
ing saw,” Graham said, referring to reports from
the Turkish government that said Saudi agents
used a bone saw to dismember Khashoggi after
he was killed in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
Graham said “you have to be willfully blind”
not to conclude that this was orchestrated and
organized by people under the crown prince’s
command.
Trump has equivocated over who is to blame
for the killing, frustrating senators who are now
looking for ways to punish the longtime Middle
East ally. The Senate overwhelmingly voted last
week to move forward on a resolution curtailing
U.S. backing for the Saudi-led war in Yemen.
protesters were demanding much more.
Students set fires outside high schools to
protest a new university application system.
Small-business owners blocked roads to protest
high taxes. Pensioners marched to protest the
president’s perceived elitism.
Trade unions have not so far played a role
in the improvised movement, but are now try-
ing to capitalize on the growing public anger.
A joint statement from the CGT and FO truck-
ing unions called for action beginning Sun-
day night to protest a cut in overtime rates, and
asked for an urgent meeting with the transporta-
tion minister.
French police have cleared most of the
fuel depots that protesters had blocked, but
fuel shortages continued to hit several parts of
France on today, with hundreds of gas stations
affected.
Protesters, now
joined by unions, reject
French concessions
LONDON — A U.K. Parliament commit-
tee accused Facebook today of cutting special
deals with some advertisers to give them more
access to data as it released 250 pages worth of
documents on the tech giant’s internal dis-
cussions about the value of users’ personal
information.
Parliament’s media committee seized con-
fidential Facebook documents from the devel-
oper of a now-defunct bikini photo searching
app as part of its investigation into fake news.
The committee says Facebook “whitelisted” or
gave preferential access to certain companies,
such as Airbnb and Netflix, even after the tech
giant announced changes in 2015 to end access
to a user’s “friends.”
PARIS — Trade unions and farmers pledged
today to join nationwide protests against Presi-
dent Emmanuel Macron, as concessions by the
government failed to stem the momentum of the
most violent demonstrations France has seen in
decades.
The “yellow vest” protests began over a plan
to raise fuel taxes, but by the time Prime Min-
ister Edouard Philippe bowed to three weeks of
violence and suspended the plan Tuesday, the
Facebook emails
show how it sought
to leverage user data
