I am writing as I have been asked to update everyone on the continuing problems at the facility.
Mr. Tartaglione has not has books swapped out since
was kind enough to do it himself on
August 15th. His radio has needed batteries for several days. The guards simply refuse to provide him
with the batteries and new books he believes are in his property. Several guards have been making
comments to him such as "You're threatening our lives" and "Give the big mouth his try" and similar
remarks aimed at intimidating him and conveying to him their displeasure with his complaints.
As for visiting I arrived on Sunday and waited nearly 50 minutes because there was not staff in the
lobby to process legal visits. I was able to see my client by 9;10, but I couldn't stay through the count
so I had to leave before 9:30. I know I did not make an appointment but the issue wasn't a free room,
but adequate staffing in the lobby. Yesterday I was able to see my client at 5:00 as scheduled.

I am writing as I have been asked to update everyone on the continuing problems at the facility.
Mr. Tartaglione has not has books swapped out since
was kind enough to do it himself on August 151h. His
radio has needed batteries for several days. The guards simply refuse to provide him with the batteries and new
books he believes are in his property. Several guards have been making comments to him such as "You're
threatening our lives" and "Give the big mouth his try" and similar remarks aimed at intimidating him and conveying
to him their displeasure with his complaints.
As for visiting I arrived on Sunday and waited nearly 50 minutes because there was not staff in the lobby to process
legal visits. I was able to see my client by 9;10, but I couldn't stay through the count so I had to leave before 9:30. I
know I did not make an appointment but the issue wasn't a free room, but adequate staffing in the lobby. Yesterday I
was able to see my client at 5:00 as scheduled.

Thank you, Your Honor,
I have advised the Warden and he will be prepared to speak as to language issues in medical and
mental health. However, due to the ongoing outside investigation, we have no new information
as to the Epstein investigation. To our knowledge, the matter is still under review by FBI, OIG,
and the USAO.
I also wanted to let you know personally before announcing it to the group that I have been
selected as the incoming Deputy Regional Counsel for the Northeast Region in Philadelphia, PA,
starting December 9. I have greatly enjoyed working with you and your staff and hope that I
have been able to assist you when requested. I am sure my successor will continue to seek to
work with all the stakeholders in doing what is best for both the general public and the inmate
population.

Re: New Wrden
Thank you, Your Honor,
I have advised the Warden and he will be prepared to speak as to language issues in medical and mental health. However,
due to the ongoing outside investigation, we have no new information as to the Epstein investigation. To our knowledge,
the matter is still under review by FBI, O1G, and the USAO.
I also wanted to let you know personally before announcing it to the group that I have been selected as the incoming Deputy
Regional Counsel for the Northeast Region in Philadelphia, PA, starting December 9. I have greatly enjoyed working with
you and your staff and hope that I have been able to assist you when requested. I am sure my successor will continue to
seek to work with all the stakeholders in doing what is best for both the general public and the inmate population.

One other thing that you may be able to address (although this is more minor than the other issues): how does the prison deal with prisoners
who do not speak English when they need to see a =?
There is some interest in hearing what is going on with the Epstein suicide investigation, but I suspect that is something the Warden cannot
discuss.
See you Wednesday.

Good morning Your Honor,
My apologies, but I was out of the office unexpectedly yesterday due to a family emergency.
Warden
and I will be in attendance at the CJAB next week. He indicates he will be addressing the issues that have
delayed the attorney visiting study, to include those related to the union. He will also update the Court on the female unit at
MCC. Please let us know if you need anything else.

Will you be attending? If so, would you like to give a brief explanation of the union issues associated with the attorney waiting times study?

Good morning Bruce,
Unfortunately, if your client has a noon hearing tomorrow, the USMS are going to come pick him up first
thing. As such, it is doubtful he will be here past 7 or 8 am tomorrow. Bobbi is coming to see him around
noon today. Are you able to come with Bobbi or after the count?
Thank you,

I wasn't able to get to see Nick over the weekend so I have to seem tomorrow before court on Tuesday.
I hope that is ok. I will be at the facility by 8;00.
Thank you for the social visit on Friday. Nick and his mom are very grateful and I am glad that it was
accomplished before court. It will be very helpful to us.

Hi
. I'm not sure if you've already relocated but I'm hoping you can help or redirect me to someone
who can. I have a private investigator we have appointed under CJA coming to visit our client from out
of town next week Monday and Tuesday. What do we need to do to get him permission to come in with
us for a legal visit? Thank you.

Listen to The Big Idea
Trump might win a Pyrrhic victory against
Obamacare, as the balance of judicial
power shifts his way
People wait in line to enter the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit in New
Orleans on Tuesday to hear arguments on whether Congress effectively invalidated
the Affordable Care Act when it zeroed out the tax imposed on those who choose not
to buy insurance. (Gerald HerbertfAP)
with Joanie Greve and Mariana Alfaro
THE BIG IDEA: Oral arguments in New Orleans on
Tuesday over the future of the Affordable Care Act
foreshadowed the massive impact that President
Trump's free rein to fill the courts with like-minded

juages win propaoly nave on American jurispruaence
over the next generation.
For now, Trump continues to suffer legal setbacks. In a
case involving his push to add a citizenship question to the
2020 Census, a district court judge rejected the Justice
Department's request to change out its team of lawyers.
Separately, an appellate court in New York upheld a lower
court's decision that it is unconstitutional for Trump to block
critics on Twitter because he's a public official who uses the
platform to communicate with constituents.
But the balance of power is changing on the courts each
week to become more favorable to Trump, and it sure
sounded like the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit
might be ready to uphold at least parts of a federal district
judge's decision in Texas that the entire 2010 health-care
law is unconstitutional because the 2017 GOP tax bill got rid
of the individual mandate to buy insurance. Two of the three
judges on the panel expressed skepticism during the oral
arguments that Obamacare can remain intact since the
mandate was how Chief Justice John
justified
upholding the law in 2012.
Judge Kurt Engelhardt, whom Trump put on the bench just
last year, was the more outspoken of the two. He repeatedly
noted that the law was written without an explicit feature
guaranteeing that if one part were ever removed by
Congress or the courts, the rest would remain in place. He
suggested that it's the job of Congress to forge a solution.
He questioned whether the courts should be "taxidermist for
Page 12519
EFTA00043030
every legislative big-game accomplishment that Congress
achieves." The judge who seemed to largely agree with him
was appointed by George W. Bush. A third judge, appointed
by Jimmy Carter, stayed silent during the 90-minute hearing,
per Amy Goldstein, who was in the courtroom for us.
Engelhardt was grilling attorneys representing Democratic
attorneys general and the Democratic House. Normally it
would have been Justice Department lawyers defending a
federal law, but the Trump administration is refusing to do so
and told the 5th Circuit this spring that the administration
agrees with the plaintiffs that it should be struck down.
If Trump gets what he's hoping for in New Orleans, there's a
strong argument to be made that the president will be like
the proverbial dog that catches up with the truck. Health care
— the issue that dogged Republican candidates in the 2018
midterms more than any other — would almost certainly take
a starring role in the 2020 campaign. The Supreme Court
would probably then hear an appeal, in which
would
probably again cast a deciding vote — one way or another —
in June of an election year.
McConnell mum on whether he supports Trump-Obamacare lawsuit
-- Here are three telling illustrations of how the 5th
Circuit could hand Trump a Pyrrhic victory:
1) Despite a decade of efforts to kill Obamacare, Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) refused to
say yesterday whether he supports the suit to
Page 12520
EFTA00043031
invalidate the law. "I think the important thing for the public
to know is there is nobody in the Senate not in favor of
covering preexisting conditions," he said at his weekly news
conference. "And if it were, under any of these scenarios, to
go away, we would act quickly on a bipartisan basis to
restore it."
Trump has had a historically large number of judicial
vacancies to fill during his first two-and-a-half years largely
because McConnell blocked consideration of so many of
Barack Obama's nominees once he seized control of the
Senate in 2015. It was not just Merrick Garland.
2) Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), who cast a key vote
for the tax bill that could be used as a pretext by
judicial activists to repeal Obamacare, is trying to
distance herself from the lawsuit challenging the ACA.
She also voted to confirm Engelhardt to the 5th Circuit, in
addition to Justice Brett Kavanaugh. These votes could
imperil her reelection next year. She issued a statement
saying she opposes Trump's decision not to defend the
health-care law in court. "The Affordable Care Act remains
the law of the land, and it is the Department of Justice's duty
to defend it," Collins said.
3) "Democrats are savoring the moment," Paige
Winfield Cunningham reports in the Health 202. "They're
spending the week bludgeoning Republicans over the high-
stakes lawsuit, which they well know is prime fodder for
2020 attacks. The House Oversight Committee will hold a
Page 12521
EFTA00043032
hearing this morning dubbed The Trump Administration's
Attack on the ACA: Reversal in Court Case Threatens
Health Care for Millions of Americans,' where a number of
patients and consumers advocates will testify. The
Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the
Democratic Attorneys General Association and the
Democrat-affiliated group Protect Our Care launched
hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of print and digital
ads around the country. Democrats in Congress delivered
floor speeches castigating their GOP colleagues. House
Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) said
he's also planning a hearing on the lawsuit."
-- As the judges in Louisiana considered the fate of
health care for millions of people, the Senate voted 53
to 45 on party lines to confirm another controversial
Trump nominee to the 9th Circuit, the court of appeals
that has most often drawn the president's ire. Hai*
Fuchs notes that Daniel Bress's confirmation gives Trump
his seventh judge on the historically liberal bench, which
now has 16 judges nominated by Democratic presidents and
12 by Republicans. The court still has one vacancy that
Trump plans to fill. Bress, who once clerked for the late
Antonin Scalia, was nominated to fill the vacancy left by •
Kozinski, whom Kavanaugh once clerked for and who
resigned in December 2017 amid allegations of sexual
misconduct.

Embassy to mark Trump's inauguration in January 2017. (Paul Morigi/Getty Images)
-- British Ambassador Kim Darroch resigned from his
post this morning after three days of public attacks
from Trump, who was angry about leaked cables that
showed the diplomat privately described the president
as "inept" and "insecure." Jennifer Hassan reports:
"Trump blasted Darroch in a series of tweets this week,
calling him 'a pompous fool' and said his administration
would not work with him." In his resignation letter, Darroch
said the "current situation is making it impossible for me to
carry out my role as I would like. Although my posting is not
due to end until the end of this year, I believe in the current
circumstances the responsible course is to allow the
appointment of a new ambassador."

Federal Reserve Board Chair Jerome Powell speaks at a news conference in May.
(Patrick Semansky/AP)
-- Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has two
messages for Congress this morning: Central bank
independence is critical, and an interest-rate cut is
likely at the end of July. Heather Long got a first look at
his prepared testimony before the House Financial Services
Committee: "Since [June], it appears that uncertainties
around trade tensions and concerns about the strength of
the global economy continue to weigh on the U.S. economic
outlook. Inflation pressures remain muted," Powell will say.
The U.S. economy is doing "reasonably well," Powell will
add, but he notes that business investment has "slowed
notably," probably because of the uncertainty around trade
and global growth. He will also stress that the economic
gains have not been shared evenly by everyone. Hispanics,
African Americans and people in rural communities are
continuing to have a harder time finding jobs that pay well.
-- Reader feedback: Many of you, on the left and right,
emailed in response to yestefday's_Big Idea to say that
manufacturers should keep raising wages for workers
if they want to make their industry more appealing to
young people and close the skills gap. Readers wrote
that higher salaries would have a bigger impact than any
marketing campaign from a trade association in making the
sector more appealing.

Montgomery, Ala. (Julie Bennett/Getty Images)
-- Support for legal abortion has hit a 24-year high as
more states pass severe restrictions on the procedure,
according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
EmilyGuskin an_d Scott_Clementreport_"The Post-ABC poll
finds a 60 percent majority who say abortion should be legal
in most or all cases, up from 55 percent in a 2013 Post-ABC
poll, and tying the record high level of support from 1995.
The latest survey finds 36 percent say abortion should be
illegal in all or most cases, also tying a record low. A 41
percent plurality of Americans want their own state to avoid
making it either harder or easier for women to have access
to abortion. Fewer, 32 percent, say their states should make
it easier and fewer still, 24 percent say their states should
make it harder for women to have access to abortion. ...
Even within party ranks, allowing or banning abortion in all
cases is a minority position. Among Democrats, 77 percent
say abortion should be at least mostly legal, but just over 4 in
10 (42 percent) say it should be legal in all cases. Among
Republicans, 52 percent say it should be at least mostly
illegal, but fewer than a quarter, 22 percent, want it to be
illegal in all cases."

-- North Carolina state Rep. Greg Murphy won the
Republican primary for the state's reliably red 3rd
Congressional District, besting pediatrician Joan Perry
by 20 points in a special election. Felicia Sonmez reports:
"The race had been viewed by some as a test of women's
standing within the Republican Party. Perry had won the
endorsements of all 13 House Republican women and
received nearly $1 million in support from an outside group
created to boost female Republican House candidates. But
in the end, she was outflanked by Murphy, who was backed
by several House Republican heavyweights, including Reps.
Jim Jordan (Ohio) and Mark Meadows (N.C.)."
Joe Biden stops for ice cream in Iowa in April. (Melina Mara/The Washington Post)
-- Cashing in: Joe Biden, who continues calling himself
"Middle Class Joe" on the campaign trail, earned $15.6
million over the past two years. Matt Viser and Anu
Narayanswamy: "The vast majority of the former vice
president's income — which totaled $11 million in 2017 and
$4.6 million in 2018 — came from book payments and
speaking fees, according to newly released tax returns and
financial disclosure forms required of federal office-seekers.
All told, the Bidens made nearly five times more in the past
two years than the next- highest earner, Sen. Kamala D.
Harris (D-Calif.), who with her husband earned $3.3 million.
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-
Mass.) each took in about $1.7 million in family income. ...

wealth. He gave 47 speeches, according to the new filings,
with fees as high as $234,000. His speaking fees and book
payments amounted to $10 million in 2017 and $3.2 million
in 2018. Biden was also a professor at the University of
Pennsylvania, where he was paid $371,159 in 2017 and
$405,368 in 2018."

Field in Cleveland. (Jason Miller/Getty Images)
-- On the strength of its pitchers, the American League
will get home-field advantage in the World Series after
a 4-3 win in the All-Star Game. Dave Sheinen reports from
Cleveland: "Perhaps someone sneaked into the bowels of
Progressive Field on Tuesday and replaced the regular,
turbocharged 2019 baseballs with century-old versions from
the Dead Ball Era. How else to explain — in the midst of the
biggest home run binge in the history of the sport, one year
after the most homers ever hit in an All-Star Game and one
night after the most electrifying performance in the history of
the Home Run Derby — the relatively pedestrian showing in
this year's Midsummer Classic? There is one other possible
explanation, of course, and it is the one, conspiracy theories
aside, that will have to suffice: There are great pitchers
scattered across this game (shellshocked as they may be by
the nightly home run binges), and on Tuesday night they
shone brightest. ... The victory was the seventh in a row by
the AL, its 14th in the past 17 and 19th in the past 23 All-

Star Games."
MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred denied
yesterday that the league has knowingly "juiced"
baseballs to increase the number of home runs this
season, despite mounting complaints from pitchers.
Manfred attributed the spike in homers to naturally occurring
variances in manufacturing baseballs and vowed
transparency as officials move to correct the problem,
per Sheinin.

Trump says he feels 'very badly' for Acosta on Epstein link
THE #M ETOO RECKONING:
-- Trump is standing by his embattled labor secretary,
saying he feels "very badly" for
Acosta, as
Democratic calls mounted for Acosta's resignation
over the generous plea deal he struck with financier
Jeffrey Epstein when he was a federal prosecutor.
Trump said the White House will look closely at the
circumstances surrounding the sex-charges deal negotiated
by Acosta. "I feel very badly, actually, for Secretary Acosta
because I've known him as being somebody who works so
hard and has done such a good job," the president told
reporters in the Oval Office.
-- Acosta broke his silence and defended himself on
Twitter: "The crimes committed by Epstein are horrific, and
I am pleased that NY prosecutors are moving forward with a
case based on new evidence," he wrote, suggesting that
prosecutors have new evidence he did not when he was
Page 12531
EFTA00043042
IVIICII I II
V.J.
CHAU! I my.
-- Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi called on Acosta
to step down, as did most of the 2020 Democratic
candidates. "Congressional Republicans supported Acosta,
saying issues about the plea deal were vetted at his
confirmation hearing in 2017. Acosta's critics said he was
not fit to lead an agency that has oversight over human
trafficking offenses," John Wagner and Lisa Rein report.
"Some attorneys for victims questioned Acosta's tweet
saying the evidence was new."
-- Acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney is
privately urging Trump to dump Acosta, Politico's Eliana
and Burgess Everett report: "Acosta critics,
including Mulvaney, have argued that he has not been
aggressive enough in stamping out Obama-era workplace
regulations and employment discrimination lawsuits, and
they are using the Epstein lawsuit to push him out the door.
Mulvaney on Tuesday acknowledged the tension with Acosta
but said it was merely part of the job. 'I push all of the
Cabinet Secretaries on the deregulatory agenda, as it is a
top priority of the President,' Mulvaney said in a statement.
... One move that has particularly rankled conservatives is
Acosta's decision to allow an employment discrimination
lawsuit to proceed against Oracle, the rare Silicon Valley
company that is not entirely hostile to the GOP."
Democrats demand Acosta resign over Epstein deal
-- The Justice Department said Attorney General
Page 12532
EFTA00043043
William Barr will not recuse himself from the current
prosecution of Epstein, but he will not engage in "any
retrospective review" of the 2008 plea deal. Matt
Zapotos_ky reports: "Barr had telegraphed at his confirmation
hearing in January that he might have to step aside from any
Justice Department reviews of Epstein's case, because
another lawyer at his then-firm, Kirkland & Ellis, had
represented the wealthy financier. The other lawyer, Jay P.
Lefkowitz, helped secure [the previous deal]. The split nature
of Barr's recusal suggests that federal prosecutors in New
York — who unsealed new sex trafficking charges against
Epstein on Monday — might not be investigating authorities'
handling of the previous allegations. The Justice
Department's Office of Professional Responsibility has been
reviewing the handling of Epstein's 2008 plea deal for
possible misconduct, and Barr is recused from that."
-- The Miami Herald has reported that Lefkowitz, Barr's
colleague at the time, had a one-on-one meeting with
Acosta at which the then-U.S. attorney agreed not to
prosecute Epstein in federal court.
-- Epstein amassed a network of powerful connections
as authorities say that he was simultaneously abusing
dozens of young girls. Marc Fisher reports: "Even as
dozens of women were looking to police, prosecutors and
courts to hold Epstein to account for his alleged sexual
abuses, he was amassing a stunning list of contacts and, in
some cases, defenders across the worlds of Hollywood
moviemaking, medical research, diplomacy, finance, politics

ana law. ... he donated large sums toward neuroscience
research at Harvard and a California lab. He invited
researchers to his New York house and talked math with
them over equations scrawled on a blackboard in his dining
room. He flew former president Bill Clinton and actor
Spacey to Africa to promote AIDS awareness. He was a
member of the Trilateral Commission and the Council on
Foreign Relations."
-- The criminal case against Epstein had gone cold, but
Miami Herald reporter Julie Brown kept pursuing the
story and forced authorities to pay attention. The
Times's Tiffany Hsu reports: "Months ago, she published a
meticulously researched series of articles about the secret
plea deal. ... Her work identified some 80 alleged victims ...
She worked on the award-winning series with Emily Michot,
a visual journalist at The Herald. While Mr. Epstein moved
about freely, reportedly building a new compound in the
Virgin Islands, Ms. Brown continued to dig, accumulating
enough documentation to fill a spare bedroom in her Florida
home. ... Geoffrey Berman, a federal prosecutor, said at a
news conference that his team had been 'assisted by some
excellent investigative journalism.-
-- Trump once threw a party with "28 girls" at Mar-a-
Lago. He and Epstein were the only men there. The
Times's Annie Karni and Maggie Haberman dig into the
relationship', "The year was 1992 and the event was a
'calendar girl' competition, something that George Houraney,
a Florida-based businessman who ran American Dream

arranged to have some contestants fly in,' Mr. Houraney
recalled in an interview on Monday. 'At the very first party, I
said, 'Who's coming tonight? I have 28 girls coming.' It was
him and Epstein.' Mr. Houraney, who had just partnered with
Mr. Trump to host events at his casinos, said he was
surprised. 'I said, 'Donald, this is supposed to be a party
with V.I.P.s. You're telling me it's you and Epstein?" In fact,
that was the case, an indication of a yearslong friendship
between the president and Mr. Epstein that some say ended
only after a failed business arrangement between them. ...
"The full nature of their eventual falling out is not clear.
... The relationship with Mr. Trump turned so toxic that Mr.
Epstein at one point told friends that he blamed Mr. Trump
for his legal problems with the Palm Beach County police.
But while Mr. Trump has dismissed the relationship, Mr.
Epstein, since the election, has played it up, claiming to
people that he was the one who introduced Mr. Trump to his
third wife, Melania Trump, though neither of the Trumps has
ever mentioned Mr. Epstein playing a role in their meeting."
Trump says he had a 'falling out with Epstein years ago
-- Trump has a pattern of quickly minimizing ties with
people who criticize him or who find themselves facing
an onslaught of negative attention that reflects poorly
on him. Epstein and Darroch are only the two latest
examples. Josh Dawsey reports: "Trump sat across from
Page 12535
EFTA00043046
Darroch during the annual St. Patrick's Day lunch on Capitol
Hill in March, inquiring about Brexit and bragging of his
strong political standing. ... Trump interacted with Darroch
on a number of occasions in London and Washington. ...
But after leaked cables showed Darroch criticizing Trump's
administration as 'inept' and the president as 'insecure,' the
president seemed to have a memory lapse. 'I don't know the
Ambassador but have been told he is a pompous fool,'
Trump wrote Tuesday on Twitter. ... Asked Tuesday about
Epstein, Trump said that he was 'not a fan' of his. ... 'I don't
think I've spoken to him for 15 years,' Trump said. In a 2002
interview with New York Magazine before Epstein was in
trouble, Trump sang a different tune. 'I've known ■
for 15
years. Terrific guy. He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said
that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of
them are on the younger side,' Trump said. ...
"Among those who have gotten the 'I barely know the
guy' treatment: Former acting attorney general Matthew
G. Whitaker, conservative commentator Ann Coulter,
former lawyer Michael Cohen, fired FBI director James B.
Comey, former senior White House aide Stephen K.
Bannon, former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, former
State Department official Brett McGurk, longtime adviser
Roger Stone, former White House aide Cliff Sims, former
campaign aide George Papadopoulos and even the rapper
Lil Jon, who starred on Trump's reality TV show 'Celebrity
Apprentice.' The people change, but the comments are
eerily similar — and are something of a joke among some
Trump advisers."

-- He is the do-as-I-say, not-as-I-do president: Trump
attacked the "Radical Left" last night for encouraging
boycotts against companies whose owners support
him, even though he has repeatedly advocated the
exact same tactic in the past against his perceived
critics. Trump was rallying to the defense of Home Depot
and its co-founder, Bernard Marcus, who have been at the
center of a boycott from liberal customers after the billionaire
said he plans to spend part of his fortune supporting
Trump's 2020 campaign.
"Among the companies he has targeted are Macy's,
which once carried his clothing line but abandoned him after
he called Mexicans `rapists' in his campaign kickoff speech
in 2015, and Apple, which he urged to release the cellphone
information of the perpetrators of the 2015 shooting in San
Bernardino, Calif.," Isaac Stanley-Becker recalls. "Last year,
he celebrated plans to boycott Harley-Davidson when the
motorcycle company said it would move some production
overseas because of steel tariffs imposed by the president.
He has also implored his Twitter followers to boycott Megyn
Kelly's show on Fox News and suggested that dropping
AT&T could compel CNN to improve its coverage of him.
The president has argued that Nike and the NFL would
encounter `anger and boycotts' as long as they support
players who kneel during the national anthem to protest
police brutality and racial injustice. He struck a different tone
on Tuesday, saying it was unfair to penalize a company
because one of its co-founders supported `your favorite

Sater offers few details after House panel appearance
THERE'S STILL A BEAR IN THE WOODS:
-- A congressional panel grilled former Trump
associate Felix Sater for more details on the
president's failed Moscow project. Karoun Demirjian and
Tom Hamburger report: "Sater met privately with House
Intelligence Committee staffers investigating interference in
the 2016 presidential election and questions surrounding
Trump's business interests in Russia in 2016. At issue is
Michael Cohen's false testimony before the same committee
in 2017 and whether Trump was compromised by his
organization's effort to build in Moscow. When pressed
Tuesday to provide information about his knowledge of
Cohen's testimony, Sater at one point cited lawyer-client
privilege and declined to respond, according to accounts of
the exchange described by Sater's attorney and a
spokesman for the committee."
-- Federal prosecutors no longer want Michael Flynn to
testify against his former partner because they doubt
his version of events, according to a court filing.
Rachel Weiner reports: "The move could have implications
for Flynn in D.C. federal court, where he is awaiting
sentencing in a case brought by the special counsel. ...
Flynn had been expected to be a key witness in the Virginia
trial of Bijan Rafiekian, with whom he ran a consulting
business. A court filing from Rafiekian's attorneys includes
Page 12538
EFTA00043049
an email that Assistant U.S. Attorney James P. Gillis ended
by saying prosecutors `do not necessarily agree' with Flynn's
'characterizations' of how he came to make an inaccurate
filing under the Foreign Agent Registration Act for an
influence campaign that benefited the Turkish
government. According to the email, Flynn says he did not
provide false information to his attorneys at the time, did not
read the FARA filing before signing it and was not aware
that it contained falsehoods. In their filing, Rafiekian's
lawyers say they 'interpreted the email's final sentence as a
euphemism for, `we've concluded [Flynn] is lying.'
"The decision by prosecutors could imperil Flynn's
ability to avoid incarceration for lying to the FBI unless
he is pardoned by Trump. Flynn's defense attorney,
Sidney Powell, said in a statement that 'General Flynn is still
cooperating with the government even if they don't call him
as a witness.'"
-- The Justice Department directed two former
members of Mueller's team, Aaron Zebley and James
L. Quarles, not to testify before Congress. The Times's
Nicholas Fandos and Katie Benner report: "It is unclear what
effect the Justice Department's intervention will have on the
men's eventual appearances, but it raises the prospect that
a deal lawmakers thought they had struck last month for
testimony from Mr. Mueller, the former special counsel, and
the two prosecutors could still unravel. Both Mr. Zebley and
Mr. Quarles have left the Justice Department and are now
private citizens, meaning that the department most likely
Page 12539
EFTA00043050
cannot actually block their testimony. But the department's
view — depending on how strongly it is expressed — could
have a chilling effect on two longtime employees and give
them cover to avoid testifying."
-- The House Judiciary Committee will vote tomorrow
on whether to subpoena 12 individuals with
connections to Trump, including Jared Kushner and
Jeff Sessions, for their investigation on whether the
president obstructed justice. Colby Itkowitz reports: "The
panel will also vote to subpoena documents related to the
Trump administration's zero tolerance policy on migrants
entering the country illegally, which led to the separation of
thousands of children from their parents in 2018. ... In
addition to seeking subpoenas for Kushner and Sessions,
the committee will vote to subpoena former White House
chief of staff John Kelly; [Flynn]; former Trump campaign
manager Corey Lewandowski; former deputy attorney
general Rod J. Rosenstein; former White House deputy
chief of staff Rick Dearborn; assistant attorney general Jody
Hunt; former White House staff secretary Rob Porter;
National Enquirer editor Dylan Howard; American Media Inc.
chief executive David Pecker; and Keith Davidson, former
attorney for adult-film star Stormy Daniels."
-- Ahead of the former special counsel's testimony next
week, many lawmakers admit that they have not read
Mueller's report in full. Politico's Darren Samuelsohn
reports: "Trump can't give a straight answer about the
subject. More than a dozen members of Congress readily
Page 12540
EFTA00043051
admitted ... that they too have skipped around rather than
studying every one of the special counsel report's 448
pages. And despite the report technically ranking as a best-
seller, only a tiny fraction of the American public has actually
cracked the cover and really dived in. `What's the point?'
said Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.). ... The result, say
lawmakers, historians and cultural critics, is a giant literacy
gap in the country when it comes to the most authoritative
examination into Russian interference in the 2016
presidential election and whether Trump obstructed that
investigation."
Pelosi said she will not address "anything more that
[Barr] has to say" because he "has lied to Congress."
Pelosi's comments came a day after the attorney general
accused Democrats of trying "to create some kind of public
spectacle" by calling for Mueller to publicly testify next week.
"I don't even want to address him," Pelosi said in response.
"He has lied to Congress as the attorney general of the
United States. He's lied under oath. I'm not speaking to
anything more that he has to say." (John Wagner)
-- Russian intelligence agents appear to have been the
first people to promote the conspiracy theory that DNC
staffer Seth Rich was killed by assassins working for
Hillary Clinton. Yahoo News's Michael Isikoff reports:
"Russia's foreign intelligence service, known as the SVR,
first circulated a phony `bulletin' — disguised to read as a
real intelligence report —about the alleged murder of the
former DNC staffer on July 13, 2016, according to the U.S.

was just three days after Rich, 27, was killed in what police
believed was a botched robbery while walking home to his
group house in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of
Washington, D.C., about 30 blocks north of the Capitol. ...
In a graphic example of how fake news infects the internet,
those precise details popped up the same day on an
obscure website, whatdoesitmean.com, that is a frequent
vehicle for Russian propaganda. The website's ar
