Rudy Giuliani: House Democrats are ‘rabid,’ have ‘no regard for the Constitution or laws’

House Democrats have become "rabid" and have "no regard for the Constitution or the laws," according to President Trump's personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani.

Giuliani delivered the blistering attack on "The Ingraham Angle" Wednesday, saying the push to disclose the full Mueller report and obtain President Trump's tax returns for the last six years is baseless and illegal.

"Their disregard for the Constitution is mind-boggling and frightening," Giuliani said, before adding that Attorney General William Barr would be in violation of rule 60 if he released the full report, which Giuliani said is a federal felony punishable by five years in prison.

Throughout the Mueller investigation, Giuliani opined, Democrats have leaked false information about possible criminal action by the president.

"They’re a bunch of sneaky unethical leakers, and they are rabid Democrats who hate the president of the United States," he continued.

REP. SCHIFF DOUBLES DOWN AGAIN ON TRUMP COLLUSION, CALLS PRESIDENT'S BEHAVIOR 'DEEPLY UNPATRIOTIC AND CORRUPT'

His criticism was particularly directed towards House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff, who has repeatedly doubled down that he has seen evidence President Trump colluded with the Russians to interfere with the 2016 presidential election.

Schiff said on Wednesday publicly available information reveals that the president acted in a way that was "deeply unpatriotic, unethical and corrupt."

"I don’t know if there’s anything left of Adam Schiff’s reputation or anybody to believe him. But the reality is there’s no evidence of collusion because there was no collusion," Giuliani said in response, before adding that Schiff is "so emotional in his hatred of President Trump" that he "cannot see the truth."​​​​​​​

(Reuters) – Self-driving technology continues to attract robust investment, as two tech startups, one in San Francisco and one near Tel Aviv, said this week they have raised nearly $200 million to support development and production of lidar sensors for automated vehicles.

Israeli startup Innoviz Technologies said on Tuesday it raised $132 million, taking its total funding to $214 million, surpassing the money raised by sector leaders Velodyne and Quanergy, each of which is valued at around $2 billion. Innoviz did not provide a valuation figure.

San Francisco-based Ouster, whose founders include a former Quanergy executive, said on Monday it raised $60 million, boosting its total funding to $90 million.

Innoviz and Ouster are competing in a crowded field of more than 50 lidar startups vying to supply vehicle manufacturers and their key suppliers with the sensors.

A critical component of self-driving systems, lidar sensors use laser light pulses to measure distances and render precise images of the environment around the car.

More than $1 billion in corporate and private investment has been plowed into the sector over the past three years, including a record $420 million in 2018, according to a Reuters analysis of publicly available investment data.

Automakers and large suppliers have begun to place bets on different lidar startups and competing technologies. Eventually, analysts expect the lidar sector could be squeezed down to five or six major players, but likely not until after 2025.

In the meantime, Innoviz continues to muscle its way into the forefront of lidar providers. Founded in 2016, the company already has a contract with BMW to supply its first self-driving vehicles in 2021.

Innoviz has financial backing from Japan’s SoftBank Group Corp as well as auto suppliers Aptiv Plc, Magna International Inc and Samsung Group. Its most recent funding comes from several large investors in China and Israel.

Founded in mid-2015, Ouster raised more money from several of its initial investors, including Cox Automotive and Fontinalis Partners, which is co-owned by Ford Motor Co Chairman Bill Ford. New investors include Silicon Valley Bank.

Ouster declined to name specific self-driving partners, and said it is not focusing its sensor business exclusively on vehicles, but instead is selling to customers in a variety of industries, including drones, mapping and defense.

Ouster said it plans to begin producing “several thousand” sensors a month later this year at its San Francisco facility.

(The story corrects paragraph 3 to say Ouster has raised a total of $90 million, not $87 million, and paragraph 10 to say Ouster was founded in mid-2015, not 2016)

Kim Jong Un visits war memorial following summit with Putin

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has attended a wreath-laying ceremony at a war memorial near the headquarters of the Russian Navy's Pacific Fleet as he wrapped up his visit to the Russian Far East following a summit with President Vladimir Putin.

Kim arrived at the memorial in Vladivostok on Friday. He took off his fedora and bowed after laying flowers at the memorial as a Russian military band played North Korea's national anthem.

Kim and Putin met on Thursday where the North says they held deep discussions to boost "strategic communication and tactical collaboration" over issues surrounding the Korean Peninsula. Pyongyang's state media did not report on any specific agreement on North Korea's nuclear weapons program and sanctions against the North.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday it was time to back Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, territory Israel seized from Syria in the 1967 Middle East War.

“After 52 years it is time for the United States to fully recognize Israel’s Sovereignty over the Golan Heights, which is of critical strategic and security importance to the State of Israel and Regional Stability!” Trump said on Twitter.

Horse racing: Kelly staying grounded about Grand National prospects

April 4, 2019

By Ellie Kelly

LONDON (Reuters) – The allure of becoming the first female jockey to win the Grand National would be the dream of many but British jockey Lizzie Kelly is determined that her initial goal is to simply cross the finish line of the showpiece race on Saturday.

Kelly, regarded as one of the best female jump jockeys around, made history as the first woman to win a top level (Grade 1) race in 2017. She has also claimed victories at Cheltenham, but this will be her greatest challenge yet.

The 25-year-old will be content with making it round in one piece at Aintree, particularly as just five out of 17 female jockeys have finished the race.

“I don’t think I am there with dreaming I could win it. I don’t want to get myself into that frame of mind – we have to jump the first, the second and the last,” Kelly, who will ride Tea for Two, told Reuters.

“What is fantastic is that I am riding in my mum’s colors (as owner of Tea for Two) on a horse I adore. If we just get round, that would be magic. My main goal is to stay on board and finish together. But I am looking forward to it.”

Kelly and her horse have shared a remarkable journey since 2013 when she rode him to win his very first race. He was four, Kelly was 19 and studying at university while planning a corporate career, rather than the path of professional jockey.

Tea for Two then helped Kelly become the first female jockey to win a Grade 1 jumps race in 2015. The pair entered the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 2017, Kelly being only the second woman to ride in it. A year later they finished a creditable seventh.

“He’s my horse of a lifetime. I feel sorry for the great horses that come after because they will never be as special as he is to me. I get very emotional with him because of what he has done for me,” she said.

“I couldn’t ask to do the Grand National on a better horse.”

FALLING DOWN

Kelly, an ambassador for Great British Racing, has been unseated twice in high-profile races including last month at Cheltenham.

However, falling is part of the job in jump racing where a jockey might expect a tumble for every 16 rides and Kelly is relaxed about hitting the deck.

“When you’ve fallen at the second fence in the Gold Cup in front of millions of people you know not to get worked up about it,” she said.

“If he falls, he falls. The two times he has managed to get rid of me, has been due to miscommunication and he looks after himself. In fact he’s always managed to dump me and nimbly keep himself off the ground!”

Aintree has been happy hunting ground for Kelly and her horse, having won their second Grade 1 race together there in 2017, and she is not fazed by the occasion.

“This is just another race and I’m going to do what I am good at. If I make a mistake, who cares and if I don’t, I could win,” she said.

Libyan official: Migrants used metal tools to threaten crew

A Libyan official says the migrants who commandeered an oil tanker that had rescued them in the Mediterranean Sea used metal tools to threaten the crew, forcing them to direct the ship toward Europe.

Maltese armed forces stormed the vessel Thursday and detained five men suspected of leading the hijacking operation, taking them away in handcuffs. In all, 100 migrants were on the ship, including woman and many minors.

Brig. Gen. Ayoub Gassim, the Libyan coast guard spokesman, said Friday the El Hiblu 1 cargo ship rescued the migrants in the middle of the night.

He said Wednesday morning, "when the sun rose and the migrants realized that they are returning to Libya, some of them rebelled, and used workshop metal tools in threatening the crew to change the route and head north."

Only 6 Percent of Those Subject to Trump Travel Ban Granted US Waivers

The U.S. government granted waivers to just 6 percent of visa applicants subject to its travel ban on a handful of countries during the first 11 months of the ban, new data reviewed by Reuters shows.

Trump administration officials have pointed to the waiver process embedded in the travel ban as proof it was not motivated by animus towards Muslims, as critics have charged, but rather serves to protect the United States.

In June 2018, after legal challenges defeated earlier iterations of the ban, the Supreme Court upheld a revised version and wrote in its majority opinion that the waiver program supported the government's claims that the ban served "a legitimate national security interest."

But new data shows that only 6 percent of people subject to the travel ban were ultimately granted waivers during the first 11 months of the ban's full implementation.

Between Dec. 8, 2017 and Oct. 31, 2018, State Department officers ruled on nearly 38,000 applications for non-immigrant and immigrant visas filed by people subject to the travel ban who otherwise qualified for the visas and needed waivers to get them.

They determined that just 6 percent - or 2,216 applicants - met the criteria for a waiver. Of those, 670 had not yet received their visas but were expected to do so.

The data was provided in a Feb. 22 letter from Assistant Secretary of State Mary Taylor to Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen. The letter was received by Van Hollen's office on Wednesday, and his office provided it to Reuters.

"This data paints a clear – and deeply disturbing – picture of the Trump travel ban," Van Hollen said in a statement to Reuters. "The administration repeatedly swore to the Supreme Court and the American people that this was not a de-facto Muslim ban and that there was a clear waiver process to ensure fairness. That couldn't be further from reality."

The State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The travel ban blocks citizens of Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria and Yemen, as well as some Venezuelan officials and their relatives, from obtaining a broad range of U.S. immigrant and non-immigrant visas. Chad was previously covered by the ban but was removed in April 2018.

The latest data show a slight increase in the waiver issuance rate. Data from December 2017 through April 2018 showed that waivers were issued in 2 percent of visa applications filed by people subject to the travel ban.

TREMENDOUS HARDSHIPS

The ban's restrictions vary from country to country - Somalis, for instance, can receive short-term visas and Iranians are allowed to get student visas, while North Koreans are blocked from all visas.

In addition to the almost 38,000 applications considered for a travel ban waiver, around 8,100 by people from countries subject to the travel ban were refused in the 11-month period for reasons unrelated to the ban, and nearly 2,600 applicants were found eligible for visas based on exceptions to the ban and thus did not need a waiver.

Critics say the waiver process is shrouded in secrecy, with vague standards and little information given to applicants about how they can qualify or apply for one. Two federal lawsuits are contesting the fairness of the process.

The official criteria for a waiver is a three-part test assessing whether denying entry to an applicant would cause "undue hardship," if entry of the person would not pose a threat to the United States, and if entry would be in the national interest.

There is no application for a waiver - the State Department says it "automatically" considers applicants for them.

"They (the State Department) are actually actively telling applicants, 'We don't want your materials in support of a waiver,'" said Mahsa Khanbabai, an immigration attorney in Massachusetts who has clients subject to the ban. "Even in the cases where they do take them, the extraordinary amount of time that it takes to make a decision causes tremendous hardships for people."

Good morning and welcome to Fox News First. Here’s a look at what you need to know today …

EXCLUSIVE: Trump says ‘Sleepy Joe’ Biden doesn’t have what it takes

President Trump, in a wide-ranging, exclusive phone interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, dismissed the launch of former Vice President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign, nicknaming him “Sleepy Joe” and saying he’s “not the brightest bulb.” Biden, the president said, has name recognition but he won’t “be able to do the job.” When asked about Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., Trump criticized his record, saying Sanders had “misguided energy” and asserted that Sanders “talks a lot” but hasn’t accomplished anything. The president referred to former U.S. Rep. Beto O’Rourke of Texas as “a fluke” who had lost much momentum and outright dismissed Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg — although he said he was “rooting” for Buttigieg. (Trump could address Biden and the other Democratic presidential candidates when he speaks today before the National Rifle Association.)

The Democratic Party’s youth movement: Biden’s biggest challenge?
Former Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Howard Dean warned Joe Biden about the troubles he may face in his presidential campaign, especially from the “35-year-olds” who Dean says have been running the party — a clear nod to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and fellow freshmen Democrats. “This is a very different party than even the party Joe Biden ran in in 2012. Very different,” Dean continued. “A lot of people could win this race. There’s 20 people in there. I think it’s going to take $20 million to get to the starting line. If you can’t raise $20 million, you’re gone, and I think that’s going to take care of about six or eight of these folks. … But it is not the same party that it was five years ago.” A progressive political group that boosted Ocasio-Cortez’s bid for Congress last year vowed to oppose Biden and blasted him as part of the “old guard.”

More tales from the FBI texts
Text messages between former FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page indicate they discussed using briefings to the Trump team after the 2016 election to identify people they could “develop for potential relationships,” track lines of questioning and “assess” changes in “demeanor” – language one GOP lawmaker called “more evidence” of irregular conduct in the original Russia probe. Fox News has learned the texts, initially released in 2018 by a Senate committee, are under renewed scrutiny, with GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley and Homeland Security Committee chair Ron Johnson sending a letter Thursday night to Attorney General Bill Barr pushing for more information on the matter. President Trump, speaking on Fox News’ “Hannity” Thursday night, responded to this report by accusing Strzok and Page of an attempted “coup.” “They were trying to infiltrate the administration,” he said.

Kim accuses US of acting in ‘bad faith’
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, fresh off his summit with  Russian President Vladimir Putin, said the U.S. has been acting in “bad faith” since his Hanoi meeting with President Trump over the stalemated issue of North Korean denuclearization. The North Korean leader told the Korean Central News Agency that, “the situation on the Korean Peninsula and the region is now at a standstill and has reached a critical point,” the Straits Times of Singapore reported. Kim warned that the situation “may return to its original state as the U.S. took a unilateral attitude in bad faith at the recent second DPRK-US summit talks,” the Korean Central News Agency added.

NFL Draft 2019: It’s all about defense
The first round of the 2019 NFL Draft saw a run on defensive players, with eight of the top 12 picks in Nashville coming from that side of the ball. After Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray was taken first overall by the Arizona Cardinals, the San Francisco 49ers started a run of four straight front-seven players by taking Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa with the second overall pick — the highest draft slot for any Buckeye since left tackle Orlando Pace went No. 1 overall to the St. Louis Rams in 1997.

Joe Biden’s brain surgeon said his former patient is “totally in the clear” as speculation over the candidate’s health — with Biden possibly becoming the oldest president in U.S. history — is likely to become a campaign issue.

The former vice president, who had been perceived by many as the strongest potential contender for the Democratic Party’s 2020 presidential nomination, formally announced his candidacy Thursday.

But Biden’s age – 76 – is expected to become a source of attacks from a younger generation of Democrats not because of obvious generational differences, but possibly for actual health concerns if Biden gets into office.

WHY THE MEDIA ARE CONVINCED JOE BIDEN WILL IMPLODE

Biden himself agreed last year that “it’s totally legitimate” for people to ask questions about his health if he decides to run for president, given his medical history — which has included brain surgery in 1988.

“I think they’re gonna judge me on my vitality,” Biden told “CBS This Morning.” “Can I still run up the steps of Air Force Two? Am I still in good shape? Am I – do I have all my faculties? Am I energetic? I think it’s totally legitimate people ask those questions.”

“I think they’re gonna judge me on my vitality. …  I think it’s totally legitimate [that] people ask those questions.”

— Joe Biden

But Dr. Neal Kassell, the neurosurgeon who operated on Biden for an aneurysm three decades ago, told the Washington Examiner that Biden appears to be “totally in the clear” — and even joked that the operation made Biden “better than how he was.”

“Joe Biden of all of the politicians in Washington is the only one that I’m certain has a brain, because I have seen it,” Kassell said. “That’s more than I can say about all the other candidates or the incumbents.”

“Joe Biden of all of the politicians in Washington is the only one that I’m certain has a brain, because I have seen it.”

— Dr. Neal Kassell

BIDEN’S CLAIM HE DIDN’T WANT OBAMA TO ENDORSE TRIGGERS MOCKERY

At the same time, however, Biden hasn’t been forthcoming about his health at least since 2008 when he released his medical records as a vice presidential candidate. The disclosure that time revealed some fairly minor issues such as an irregular heartbeat in addition to detailing previous operations, including removing a benign polyp during a colonoscopy in 1996, the outlet reported.

It remains unclear if Biden had more aneurysms. Some medical experts say that people who have had an aneurysm can have another one.

An aneurysm, or a weakening of an artery wall, can lead to a rupture and internal bleeding, potentially placing a patient’s life in jeopardy.

Biden won’t be the only Democrat grappling with old age. Sen. Bernie Sanders, another 2020 frontrunner, is currently 77 years old and agreed with Biden last year that their ages will be an issue in the race.

“It’s part of a discussion, but it has to be part of an overall view of what somebody is and what somebody has accomplished,” Sanders told Politico.

“Look, you’ve got people who are 50 years of age who are not well, right? You’ve got people who are 90 years of age who are going to work every day, doing excellent work. And obviously, age is a factor. But it depends on the overall health and wellbeing of the individual.”

German carmaker Daimler endured a weak start to the year, echoing troubles at other major manufacturers, as sales in the big Chinese market stuttered.

The company said Friday that its net income fell to 2.1 billion euros ($2.3 billion) in the first quarter from 2.3 billion euros during the same period a year earlier, while revenue dipped to 39.7 billion euros from 39.8 billion euros.

Vehicle sales fell 4% to 773,800 units, with a double-digit percentage drop in China offsetting gains in other markets like the U.S. and Europe.

The company said there were also problems with high inventories and bottlenecks in the supply chain.

Chairman Dieter Zetsche said that “we cannot and will not be satisfied with this — as expected — moderate start to the year.”

President Ashraf Ghani has inaugurated the country’s new parliament after almost six months since elections were held and following long delays, claims of voter fraud, unresolved disputes and political bickering.

Ghani spoke at the ceremony on Friday in Kabul, which brought together both the lower, legislative 249-seat chamber and the appointed 104-member upper house.

He expressed regret over the delays and the fact that 33 seats for lawmakers from the districts in central Kabul province were empty because the election commission still has not announced results for those districts.

Ghani blamed what he said was the “inefficiency of former election commission members” who have since been replaced.

The October election day was marred by bombings and attacks on polling stations across the country that killed 27 civilians and 11 policemen.

Cambodian authorities have ordered a one-hour reduction in the length of school days because of concerns that students and teachers may fall ill from a prolonged heat wave.

Education Minister Hang Chuon Naron said in an announcement seen Friday that the shortened hours will remain in effect until the rainy season starts, which usually occurs in May. The current heat wave, in which temperatures are regularly reaching as high as 41 Celsius (106 Fahrenheit), is one of the longest in memory.

Most schools in Cambodia lack air conditioning, prompting concern that temperatures inside classrooms could rise to unhealthy levels.

School authorities were instructed to watch for symptoms of heat stroke and urge pupils to drink more water.

The new hours cut 30 minutes off the beginning of the school day and 30 minutes off the end.

School authorities instituted a similar measure in 2016.
