WORLD IN BRIEF
Cohen returns to Capitol Hill
after slamming Trump as liar
Associated Press
Trump, Kim end summit
with standoff over
easing US sanctions
HANOI, Vietnam — Talks between
President Donald Trump and North
Korea’s Kim Jong Un collapsed today
after the two sides failed to bridge a stand-
off over U.S. sanctions, a dispiriting end
to high-stakes meetings meant to disarm a
global nuclear threat.
Trump blamed the breakdown on North
Korea’s insistence that all the punishing
sanctions the U.S. has imposed on Pyong-
yang be lifted without the North commit-
ting to eliminate its nuclear arsenal.
“Sometimes you have to walk,” Trump
explained at a closing news conference
after the summit was abruptly cut short.
He said there had been a proposed agree-
ment that was “ready to be signed.”
Mere hours after both nations had
seemed hopeful of a deal, the two leaders’
motorcades roared away from the down-
town Hanoi summit site within minutes
of each other, their lunch canceled and
a signing ceremony scuttled. The presi-
dent’s closing news conference was hur-
riedly moved up, and he departed for
Washington more than two hours ahead of
schedule.
Trump insisted his relations with Kim
remained warm, but he did not commit
to having a third summit with the North
Korean leader, saying a possible next
meeting “may not be for a long time.”
WASHINGTON — President Donald
Trump’s former lawyer returned to Capitol
Hill today for hours of closed-door ques-
tioning after publicly branding his former
boss a racist and a con man who lied about
business dealings in Russia and directed
him to conceal extramarital relationships.
Cohen was speaking privately today to
the House intelligence committee, the last
of three appearances before Congress this
week.
Cohen, who pleaded guilty last year
to lying to Congress and soon reports to
prison for a three-year sentence, gave
harsh testimony about Trump on Wednes-
day. He said Trump knew in advance that
damaging emails about Democrat Hillary
Clinton would be released, something the
president has denied, and accused Trump
of lying during the 2016 campaign about a
Moscow real estate protect.
Cohen also said Trump directed him to
arrange a hush money payment to a porn
actress who said she had sex with the pres-
ident a decade earlier. He said the presi-
dent arranged to reimburse Cohen, and
Cohen brought to the hearing a check that
he said was proof of the transaction.
Cohen, shaking off incessant criticism
from Republicans anxious to paint him as
a felon and a liar, became the fi rst Trump
insider to pull back the curtain on a ver-
sion of the inner workings of Trump’s
political and business operations. He lik-
ened the president to a “mobster” who
demanded blind loyalty from underlings
and expected them to lie on his behalf.
Transgender troops
tell Congress they excel
in military
California river receding
after fl ooding 2,000 buildings
SAN DIEGO — Transgender troops
testifying for the fi rst time to Congress on
Wednesday said transitioning to another sex
made them stronger, while Pentagon offi -
cials defended the Trump administration’s
desire to bar people like them from enlisting
in the future.
Army Capt. Alivia Stehlik, an infan-
try offi cer and graduate of the U.S. Mil-
itary Academy at West Point, N.Y. and
Ranger School, told lawmakers she
became a more “effective soldier” after
she transitioned from male to female in
2017.
With the ban now blocked by lawsuits,
active-duty transgender service members
were invited to testify at the hearing called by
Democratic Rep. Jackie Speier, chairwoman
of the military personnel subcommittee of
the House Armed Services Committee.
Retired Air Force Gen. James N. Stew-
art, who is now performing the duties of the
undersecretary of defense for personnel and
readiness, defended the Trump administra-
tion’s policy, which is currently blocked by
litigation.
Military chiefs testifi ed before Congress
last year that they found no problems with
transgender troops on morale or unit cohe-
sion. The fi ve transgender troops who tes-
tifi ed Wednesday said their medical tran-
sitions took anywhere from four weeks to
four months and they did most of it on their
own time. All were fi t to return to deploying
afterward.
GUERNEVILLE, Calif. — Floodwa-
ters that turned two Northern California
wine country communities into islands
reachable only by boat began receding
today after a rain-engorged river fi nally
peaked after swamping thousands of
homes and businesses.
The Russian River in wine country
north of San Francisco crested at more
than 46 feet Wednesday night. The water
is not expected to return to the river’s
banks until late today.
The Sonoma County Sheriff’s Offi ce
said offi cials received no calls for help
overnight from hundreds of people who
stayed in their homes instead of heeding
evacuation orders.
The river frequently fl oods in rainy
weather but it had not reached that level in
25 years. The estimated 2,000 inundated
buildings were mainly in and around the
community of Guerneville.
The river was one of several in North-
ern California that was engorged by days
of rain from western U.S. storms that also
dumped heavy snow in the Sierra Nevada,
throughout the Pacifi c Northwest and
into Montana, where Gov. Steve Bullock
issued an emergency order to help keep
up the supply of heating fuel amid frigid
temperatures.
