CBS: House Dems Plan to Press Barr on Mueller Report

Top House Democrats plan to press Attorney General William Barr on his handling of special counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian collusion during a hearing Tuesday before the House Appropriations Committee, according to CBS News.

Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., plans to tell Barr the way he handled the report was "unacceptable" and his letter about the report "raises more questions than it answers."

Mueller completed his 22-month investigation probe into whether President Donald Trump's campaign colluded with Russia on March 22. Two days later, Barr sent a four-page letter to Congress summarizing Mueller's findings.

"I must say, it is extraordinary to evaluate hundreds of pages of evidence, legal documents, and findings based on a 22-month long inquiry and make definitive legal conclusions in less than 48 hours," Lowey, the chairman of the committee, will say. "Even for someone who has done this job before, I would argue it is more suspicious than impressive."

Rep. Jose Serrano, D-N.Y., will ask Barr about reports some members of Mueller's team say the report was more damaging than Barr revealed.

"The American people have been left with many unanswered questions; serious concerns about the process by which you formulated your letter; and uncertainty about when we can expect to see the full report," he will say.

Egypt opposition urges “No” vote to extend president’s term

A coalition of opposition political parties has called on Egyptian voters to reject proposed constitutional amendments that would allow President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi to stay in power until 2030.

The three-day nationwide referendum starts Saturday.

The Civil Democratic Movement, which includes liberal and left-leaning parties, held a news conference Thursday to decry the amendments.

"We want people to go and say no," said Abdel-Aziz al-Husseini of the Karam party.

If passed, Khaled Dawood, another opposition leader and former head of the liberal Dostour, or Constitution party, says "our dream and hope to have a president who is elected once every two terms have come to an end."

El-Sissi came to power in 2014 after removing his predecessor, Islamist president Mohammed Morsi, who hails from the now-outlawed Muslim Brotherhood.

April 1, 2019

Belmont coach Rick Byrd announced his retirement Monday after 33 years, 805 wins and eight NCAA Tournament appearances at the Nashville, Tenn., school.

Byrd, who turns 66 this month, took over as coach of the Bruins before the 1986-87 season. He ranks 12th all-time among NCAA Division I head coaches in wins and his career conference winning percentage (.797) trails only Mark Few of Gonzaga.

“It has been an honor to coach the young men that have brought credit to Belmont University, not only by how they played the game, but how they represented our university all over our country,” Byrd said in a statement.

Belmont was 27-6 in his final campaign in 2018-19, beating Temple in the NCAA Tournament’s First Four before ending the season with a 79-77 first-round loss to sixth-seeded Maryland.

“He has impacted countless people over his 33 years, far beyond his players and staff. We are all better off for having worked with him,” Belmont director of athletics Scott Corley said. “Coach will leave a legacy at this university that will be hard to duplicate.”

Byrd led the Bruins to 17 conference championships (10 regular season and seven tournament titles) since 2006.

Byrd was a 2019 Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame nominee. He was inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame in 2013.

He was fourth in longevity among the NCAA men’s basketball coaching fraternity, trailing Syracuse’s Jim Boeheim, Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski and Oakland’s Greg Kampe.

The school will begin its coaching search immediately, with early speculation pointing toward Lipscomb coach Casey Alexander. Alexander spent 16 seasons as Byrd’s assistant after playing four seasons for him.

February 21, 2019

TOKYO (Reuters) – Japan’s auto industry lobby on Thursday called on U.S. President Donald Trump to make an “appropriate decision” on trade rules governing imported vehicles, repeating its stance that Japanese-made cars posed no threat to U.S. national security.

“Introducing import restriction measures would not only negatively affect our U.S. customers, but would also disrupt the operations of U.S. vehicle and auto parts manufacturers as well as auto dealerships,” Akio Toyoda, chairman of the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, said in a statement.

“We look forward to President Trump’s understanding and a careful and appropriate decision on his part regarding this matter of critical importance to the U.S. automobile industry and the American people.”

On Sunday, the U.S. Commerce Department sent a report to Trump that could unleash steep tariffs on imported cars and auto parts, provoking a sharp backlash from the industry even before it is unveiled.

Politico: Stephen Miller Intimidating Immigration Officials

Presidential aide Stephen Miller is taking on an aggressive role in shaking up President Donald Trump's administration, including calling mid-level officials at several departments to demand they do more to slow the flow of immigrants, according to two people familiar with the phone calls.

“It’s intimidation,” one of those briefed on the calls told Politico. "Any time you get a call like this from the White House, it's intimidation...Under normal circumstances, if you were a deputy in one of these agencies, it would be very unusual.”

It was not made immediately clear if Miller was behind the departure of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, who announced her resignation Sunday after meeting with Trump. However, a person close to her said that there is "definitely a larger shakeup abreast being led by Stephen Miller and the staunch right wing within the administration...they failed with the courts and with Congress and now they’re eating their own.”

Miller may also have had a role in Trump's decision not to nominate acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director Ronald Vitiello for a permanent spot, according to sources who said he told Trump days before he pulled the nomination that Vitiello had doubts about the president's vow to shut down the Mexican border.

He also is reportedly pushing for Trump to fire Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Lee Francis Cissna, reports Politico.

Firing Cissna would be a "colossal mistake," said R.J. Hauman, government relations director at the Federation for American Immigration Reform.

Motor racing: Mick Schumacher very like his father, says Binotto

April 12, 2019

SHANGHAI (Reuters) – Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotto says be can see similarities between Mick Schumacher’s approach to his recent Formula One test and how seven times champion father Michael used to go about racing.

Schumacher, 20 and a member of Ferrari’s driver academy after winning the European F3 title last year, made his test debut with the Italian team in Bahrain this month.

The outing came 15 years after Michael won the first grand prix in the Middle East at the same circuit for then-dominant Ferrari.

“I don’t think he’s looking very similar to Michael but the way he’s behaving is very similar,” Binotto, who worked closely with the champion during a golden era at Ferrari that ended in 2006, told reporters at the Chinese Grand Prix on Friday.

“The way he approaches the exercise and the way he’s interested in the car, discussing it with the technicians,” he added.

“So even in Maranello, you are looking after him but he’s always in the workshop looking at the car, speaking with the mechanics, and I think that’s very similar to his father.”

Schumacher senior, now 50, has not been seen in public since he suffered severe head injuries in a 2013 skiing accident in the French Alps.

Mick was second fastest in the test, albeit on softer and quicker tires than anyone else, and said he felt at home in the garage.

Binotto said it was hard to assess the test because of the poor weather conditions that day and because performance had never been the aim.

“It was his very first day on an F1 car; more important for him still in the learning phase, day-by-day, is facing a completely new challenge in his F2 season,” he said.

“I think what was certainly positive was the way he approached the exercise, the approach to the day of testing, never pushing to the limit, trying to improve run-by-run, learning the car, learning the team.

“I think in that respect he did a very good job: very well focused, concentrated and tried to do the proper job and learn. I think that’s the most you may expect on such a day.”

By James Davey

LONDON (Reuters) – With Sainsbury’s dream of creating Britain’s biggest supermarket group in tatters, its chastened CEO Mike Coupe needs to reassure investors he has the plan to arrest a sales decline when he presents annual results next week.

Britain’s competition regulator blocked Sainsbury’s 7.3 billion pound ($9.4 billion) takeover of Walmart’s Asda on Thursday, saying the deal would increase prices. Sainsbury’s shares fell 5 percent and are down 22 percent over the last three months.

For Sainsbury’s fourth quarter to March 9 analysts are on average forecasting a 1.6 percent fall in like-for-like sales, which would follow 1.1 percent decline over the Christmas period.

Monthly industry data from researcher Kantar has also shown Sainsbury’s as the weakest performer of the big four grocers this year and this month it lost its status as Britain’s No. 2 supermarket group by market share to Asda.

While Sainsbury’s has struggled, market leader Tesco has gained momentum, this month reporting a 34 percent jump in full year profit.

Prohibition of the deal was a major blow to Coupe, its architect and Sainsbury’s boss since 2014.

Martin Scicluna became Sainsbury’s chairman last month and when bedded-in may decide that if the group needs a major shake-up it is best carried out by a new leader.

Much will depend on the attitude of 22 percent shareholder the Qatar Investment Authority, which has so far declined to comment, as well as Coupe’s own appetite to continue after 15 years at the group.

THE RIGHT STRATEGY?

Coupe said on Thursday he was confident Sainsbury’s was pursuing the right strategy.

That was a clear indication that Wednesday’s results statement will not include radical changes to the group’s plans, such as a big margin reset — sacrificing profit to drive sales.

However, sources connected to Sainsbury’s said Coupe would likely acknowledge that more needs to be done on prices, so the supermarket business can better compete with its big four rivals – Tesco, Asda and No. 4 Morrisons – as well as German-owned discounters Aldi and Lidl.

Coupe’s strategy is based on differentiating Sainsbury’s food offer, growing its general merchandise, clothing business and bank, while investing in convenience and online channels.

Some analysts believe major change is needed.

HSBC analyst David McCarthy reckons Sainsbury’s needs a margin reset, should allocate more space for core lines and needs to drive better store standards. He said Sainsbury’s might consider closing down space in some of its larger stores and reducing its non-food offer.

For the full 2018-19 year analysts are on average forecasting a pretax profit of 626 million pounds, up from 589 million pounds in 2017-18 – a second straight year of profit growth. A full year dividend of 10.5 pence per share is forecast versus 10.2 pence last time.

Bank and lawyer fees related to the proposed combination with Asda were 17 million pounds in the first half and have reportedly jumped to around 50 million pounds.

OTTAWA (Reuters) – Canada posted a budget surplus in the first 11 months of the 2018/19 fiscal year compared to a deficit the year earlier as revenues increased mostly on higher tax incomes, the finance department said on Friday.

The surplus for April-February was C$3.1 billion, compared to a deficit of C$6 billion in the same 2017/18 period. Revenues climbed by 8.5 percent, mainly due to higher tax receipts, while program expenses rose by 4.8 percent.

The surplus for February was C$4.3 billion compared with C$2.8 billion in February 2018. Revenues jumped by 12.2 percent while program expenses posted a more modest 6.9 percent gain.

Last month, the Liberals unveiled their new budget, projecting a C$14.9 billion deficit in 2018/19, with the deficit rising to C$19.8 billion in fiscal 2019/20.

President Trump said Friday he would beat Joe Biden “easily” in the 2020 presidential election, suggesting the former vice president could not have enough “energy” to hold the post—taking an apparent swipe at his age.

The president, departing the White House, was asked about Biden’s entrance into the Democratic primary field. Biden announced his presidential bid early Thursday morning, marking his third attempt at the White House.

JOE BIDEN OFFICIALLY LAUNCHES 2020 PRESIDENTIAL BID

“I think we’d beat him easily,” Trump told reporters Friday.

Trump, 72, said he feels “young” and is ready for 2020, and another term for his administration.

“I feel like a young man. I am a young, vibrant man,” Trump said. “I look at Joe, I don’t know about him.”

The president’s comments seemingly were a shot at the age of Biden, who is 76.

BIDEN ENTERS WHITE HOUSE RACE WITHOUT OBAMA’S ENDORSEMENT

“I would never say anyone’s too old,” Trump said. “I know they’re all making me look very young both in terms of age and in terms of energy.”

Biden became the 20th candidate to join the crowded Democratic primary field Thursday. But Biden is not the oldest in the pack. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., is 77 and Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., is 69.

Should Trump be re-elected, he would be 74 on Jan. 20, 2021—Inauguration Day. Should the presidency go to one of the elder Democrats in the field—Biden would be 78; Sanders would be 79; and Warren would be 71.

Meanwhile, in a wide-ranging interview on “Hannity” Thursday night, Trump dismissed Biden’s candidacy, nicknaming him “Sleepy Joe,” and saying he’s “not the brightest bulb.” Trump also said that while the former vice president has name recognition, he won’t “be able to do the job.”

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Treasury Department on Friday imposed sanctions on Venezuela’s foreign minister and a Venezuelan judge, according to a statement on the department’s website.

Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza and a judge, Carol Padilla, were targeted over the ongoing crisis in Venezuela, the Treasury Department said, the latest in a list of officials blacklisted by U.S. authorities for their role in President Nicolas Maduro’s government.
