ARRESTS, CITATIONS
Tuesday
One semi driver received a ticket for how he told another
driver to slow down.
William Steven Morton, 43, of Boise, was eastbound
Tuesday morning on Interstate 84 in a Volvo tractor-trailer
when he pulled over with other drivers to put on tire chains
near milepost 216, about six miles east of Pendleton,
according to Oregon State Police.
Morton was outside his vehicle when another semi in the
right lane sped by at about 60 mph, scaring and angering
him. State police also reported Morton threw a wrench at the
semi in response, which hit and cracked the semi’s upper right
window.
State police cited Morton for third-degree mischief. But
the fast-going semi driver, Ioseb Rukhadze, 43, no address
available, also could face consequences: State police asked
the Umatilla County District Attorney’s Office to charge
Rukhadze with reckless driving.
Wednesday
•Umatilla tribal police arrested Jaime Torres, 21, no address
provided, for possession of methamphetamine.
•Umatilla police arrested Sophia Evangeline Bellemy, 31, of

domestic violence. The Umatilla County District Attorney’s
Office brought initial charges against her for attempted
fourth-degree assault constituting domestic violence, harass-
ment and reckless burning. The state in court documents
accused Bellemy of using fire to damage the victim’s door.
Thursday

Sanders, 33, no address provided, for delivery and possession
of methamphetamine.

Russia’s top diplomat at
center of Trump controversy
WASHINGTON (AP) —
The Trump administration’s
back-to-back controversies
over its Russian ties now have
at least one thing in common:
Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
Moscow’s top diplomat
in the U.S. has become the
Kevin Bacon of the Trump
White House’s Russia imbro-
glio. A Washington fixture
with a sprawling network,
he has emerged as the
central figure in the investi-
gations into Trump advisers’
connections with Russia. In a
matter of weeks, contact with
Kislyak led to the firing of a
top adviser to the president
and, on Thursday, prompted
calls for the attorney general
to resign.
Separately, a White House
official confirmed Trump’s
son-in-law Jared Kushner
and ousted national security
adviser Michael Flynn met
with Kislyak at Trump Tower
in December for what the
official called a brief courtesy
meeting. Flynn was pushed
out of the White House last
month after officials said
he misled Vice President
Mike Pence about whether
he and the ambassador had
discussed U.S. sanctions
against Russia.
At issue Thursday were
two meetings between
Sessions and Kislyak —
one in July and another in
September, at the height
of concern over Russia’s
involvement in hacking of
Democratic officials’ emails
accounts. Intelligence offi-
cials have since concluded
Moscow ordered the hacks
to tilt the election toward
Trump.
Observers note Kislyak is
a somewhat unlikely figure
to cause controversy. Over
the course of a long diplo-
matic career, he’s led the life
of a somewhat typical global
envoy — making himself
Trump slump?
Signs of drop
in international
tourism to U.S.
NEW YORK (AP) —
The U.S. Travel Association
on Thursday said the Trump
administration’s immigration
policies are hurting tourism.
The nonprofit industry
organization said in a
statement that there are
“mounting signs” of “a
broad chilling effect on
demand for international
travel to the United States.”

for the National Interest in Washington.
a reliable presence on the
circuit of receptions, teas
and forums that make up the
calendar of any ambassador.
Kislyak,
who
was
appointed to his post in 2008,
is regularly spotted walking
around town, heading to
and from meetings. Early in
his tenure, he often opened
the doors of the Russian
Embassy, hosting dinners for
foreign policy professionals,
Pentagon officials, journal-
ists and Capitol Hill staffers.
Those who have attended
the events describe him
as a gracious and amiable
diplomat, although perhaps
not as polished — nor as
confrontational — as his
more famous boss, Foreign
Minister Sergey Lavrov.
In 2015, when Kislyak
invited a group of Wash-
ington-based
journalists,
including one from the
Associated Press, to the
Russian Embassy for tea,
he used the meeting to push
warmer relations between the
two nations — despite the
conflict over the seizure of
Crimea and crisis in Ukraine.
Kislyak framed U.S.-Rus-
sian relations as salvageable
and hoped specifically to
combat what he considered
added to a growing chorus
of concern from the travel
industry over the impact
of Trump administration
policies on tourism.
Earlier this week, the
tourism agency NYC &
Company revised its 2017
forecast to predict a drop
in inbound international
travel to New York City,
with 300,000 fewer visitors
compared to 2016. It would
be the first drop in visitation
to New York since the start
of the recession in 2008.
ForwardKeys reported in
February that international
bookings to the U.S. are
down 6.5 percent.

depictions of his government
in the American press.
At a press conference
where he recused himself
from the investigation into
the Trump campaign’s ties
with Russia, Sessions said he
discussed a number of things
with Kislyak, including
counterterrorism. He said the
meeting became confronta-
tional when the discussion
turned to Ukraine.
Kislyak, 66, has bounced
between the United States
and Russia for most of his
long career.
His first foreign posting
was to New York where he
worked at the Soviet delega-
tion at the United Nations in
the early 1980s. He spent the
following years as the first
secretary and then councilor
at the Soviet Embassy in
Washington before returning
to Moscow in 1989, where he
took a succession of senior
jobs at the Foreign Ministry.
He did a stint as Russian
ambassador to Belgium and
simultaneously served as
Moscow’s envoy at NATO.
He then returned to Moscow
to serve as a deputy foreign
minister, overseeing relations
with the United States and

arms control issues before
being sent to Washington.
Kislyak’s contacts have
sparked questions about his
role or involvement in the
hacking, questions that are
difficult to answer.
The U.S. and Russia,
along with many other
countries, have made it a
practice to separate their top
diplomats from espionage
activities, although it is not
uncommon for an intelli-
gence agent to operate under
the cover of a senior-level
diplomat. Foreign diplomats
to the United States likely
expect that their activities
will be monitored by U.S.
authorities in the same
manner
that American
diplomats are monitored in
countries like Russia.
Russian
ambassadors
most likely are aware of the
intelligence agents operating
under diplomatic cover, but
are not believed to part of the
security services themselves.
Russian Foreign Ministry
spokeswoman
Maria
Zakharova on Thursday ridi-
culed the claims of Kislyak’s
involvement in espionage as
“total disinformation.”
“I’ll open a military secret
for you: It’s the diplomats’
jobs to have contacts in the
country they are posted to,”
she said sarcastically. “It’s
their obligation to meet with
officials and members of the
political establishment.”
