Sessions vigorously denies
improper Russia contacts
WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General
Jeff Sessions heatedly denied on Tuesday
having an undisclosed meeting with Russia’s
ambassador to the U.S. and declared it was a
“detestable and appalling lie” to suggest he
was aware of or took part in any collusion
between Russia and the election campaign that
sent Donald Trump to the White House.
Testifying at a packed Senate hearing,
Sessions, who was a close Trump adviser
during the battle for the presidency, also
rejected any idea of misconduct in the ouster
of FBI Director James Comey and vowed to
defend his honor “against scurrilous and false
allegations.”
In his dramatic appearance before former
colleagues, Sessions contradicted a contention
made by Comey at a hearing before the same
panel last week. Comey told the intelligence
committee that, after an encounter with
President Trump in which he said Trump
pressured him to back off an investigation
into the former national security adviser,
Comey implored Sessions to make sure he
was never left alone with the president again
— but Sessions didn’t respond.
“He didn’t recall this, but I responded to
his comment by agreeing that the FBI and
Department of Justice needed to be careful
to follow department policy regarding
appropriate contacts with the White House,”
Sessions said.
The former Alabama senator also
defended himself against accusations that he
misrepresented himself during his confirmation
hearing when he said he hadn’t met with
Russian officials during the campaign.
Trump tells senators
House health bill is ‘mean’
WASHINGTON (AP) — President
Donald Trump told Republican senators
Tuesday that the House-passed health
care bill he helped revive is “mean” and
urged them to craft a version that is “more
generous,” congressional sources said.
Trump’s remarks were a surprising slap at
a Republican-written House measure that was
shepherded by Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis.,
and whose passage the president lobbied for
and praised. At a Rose Garden ceremony
minutes after the bill’s narrow House passage
on May 4, Trump called it “a great plan.”
The president’s criticism, at a White
House lunch with 15 GOP senators, also
came as Senate Republican leaders’ attempts
to write their own health care package have
been slowed by disagreements between their
party’s conservatives and moderates.
Trump’s characterizations seemed to
undercut attempts by Senate leaders to
assuage conservatives who want restrictions
East Oregonian
in their chamber’s bill, such as cutting the
Medicaid health care program for the poor
and limiting the services insurers must cover.
Moderate GOP senators have been pushing to
ease those restrictions.
Facing expected unanimous Democratic
opposition, Republicans will be unable
to pass a Senate bill if just three of the 52
GOP senators vote “no.” Alienating any of
them could make approving the measure
trickier for Senate Majority Leader Mitch
McConnell, R-Ky., who’s been hoping for a
vote before Congress’ July 4 recess.
North Korea frees American;
parents say he’s in coma
WASHINGTON (AP) — An American
college student whose parents say has been
in a coma while serving a 15-year prison
term in North Korea was released and
returned to the United States Tuesday as
the Trump administration revealed a rare
exchange with the reclusive country.
An airplane carrying Otto Warmbier,
who’s from Ohio, arrived in Cincinnati
shortly before 10:20 p.m. Two ambulances
were parked near an airport hangar.
Warmbier’s release came during a visit
to North Korea by former NBA star Dennis
Rodman, one of few people to have met
both North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and
President Donald Trump.
Page 7A
Department of State spokeswoman Heather
Nauert told reporters Rodman had nothing to
do with Warmbier’s release. Rodman had told
reporters before arriving in Pyongyang that the
issue of Americans detained by North Korea is
“not my purpose right now.”
Securing Warmbier’s release “was a
big priority” for President Donald Trump,
who worked “very hard and very closely”
with Secretary of State Rex Tillerson,
spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said.
Jury in Bill Cosby sex assault
case adjourns without verdict
NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Jurors in
the Bill Cosby sexual assault case, weighing
charges that could send him to prison for the
rest of his life, drilled down Tuesday on what
the TV star said happened inside his suburban
Philadelphia home and how he characterized
his relationship with the accuser.
But they didn’t come up with a verdict,
leaving them tired and spent after a long day
in the jury room.
The jury ended a second day of
deliberations without reaching a decision
on whether Cosby drugged and molested a
woman at his suburban Philadelphia home
in 2004, quitting for the night around 9 p.m.
Jurors have spent a total of about 16 hours
over two days discussing the case and going
over evidence with the judge.
