Former Trump
Adviser’s Guilty
Plea Could Rattle
White House
WASHINGTON (AP) —
President Donald Trump
dismissed George Papa-
dopoulos as a “liar” and
a mere campaign volun-
teer, but newly unsealed
court papers outline
the former adviser’s
frequent contacts with
senior offi cials and with
foreign nationals who
promised access to the
highest levels of the Rus-
sian government.
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.

raelis celebrate it. Pal-
estinians despise it. 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.
