They also hint at more headaches for the White House and former cam- paign offi cials. Papado- poulos is now cooperat- ing with special counsel Robert Mueller as he in- vestigates possible coor- dination between Russia and Trump’s 2016 White House campaign. Records made public Monday in Papadopou- los’ case list a gaggle of people who were in touch with him during the campaign but only with such identifi ers as “Campaign Supervisor,” ‘’Senior Policy Advisor” and “High-Ranking Cam- paign Offi cial.” Two of the unnamed campaign offi cials referenced are in fact former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and his business associ- ate Rick Gates. Both were charged with fi nancial crimes in an indictment unsealed Monday. The conversations described in charging documents refl ect Pap- adopoulos’ eff orts to ar- range meetings between Trump aides and Russian government intermedi- aries and show how he learned the Russians had “dirt” on Hillary Clinton in the form of “thousands of emails.” Though the contacts may not by themselves have been illegal, the oblique but telling refer- ences to unnamed people — including “Professor” and “Female Russian Na- tional” — make clear that Mueller’s team has iden- tifi ed multiple people who had knowledge of back-and-forth outreach eff orts between Russians and associates of the Trump election eff ort.

The Balfour Declaration, Britain’s promise to Zi- onists to create a Jewish home in what is now Is- rael, turns 100 this week, with events in Israel, the Palestinian territories and Britain drawing at- tention to the now yel- lowing document tucked away in London’s British Library. Historians still muse about Britain’s motiva- tions and its commit- ment to the declaration waned in the decades aft er it was issued. Yet the 67 words penned by a British Cabinet minister still resonate loudly 100 years later, with both the Israelis and Palestinians seizing the anniversary to reinforce its narrative and justify its positions. Each side is marking the centenary in starkly diff erent ways, shining a light on the chasm be- tween Israel and the Pal- estinians that some say was cleaved on Nov. 2, 1917. “It’s so divisive even today because Zionists think that the Balfour Declaration laid the foundation stone for modern Israel — and they’re right to think that — and by the same token non-Jewish Palestin- ians and Arabs see it as the foundation stone of their dispossession and misery,” said Jonathan Schneer, a historian who authored a book on the document. “Everything stems from the Balfour Decla- ration,” he said. Trump Chooses Visit to Military Base Over DMZ WASHINGTON (AP) — It has become something of a ritual for U.S. pres- idents trying to demon- strate their resolve against North Korea’s ev- er-escalating aggression. Beginning with Dwight Eisenhower’s visit to the front lines of wartime Korea, U.S. leaders have traveled to the barbed and mined demilitarized zone dividing the Kore- an Peninsula, peering across the barren north through binoculars, hearing broadcast pro- paganda, and reaffi rm- ing their commitment to standing with the South. Aft er leaving the pos- sibility of the visit dan- gling, the White House announced defi nitively Tuesday that President Donald Trump would not be following in their footsteps and will be forgoing a visit to the DMZ as he sets out on his maiden Asia trip. A senior adminis- tration offi cial told re- porters during a White House briefi ng that Trump will instead be visiting Camp Hum- phreys, a military base about 40 miles south of Seoul, to highlight the U.S.-South Korean part- nership and South Ko- rea’s burden-sharing. His tight schedule, offi cials said, wouldn’t accommo- date both stops.
