Man who died in Democratic megadonor Ed Buck's home called him a 'f—ing devil,' report says

A man who died last month at the West Hollywood home of prominent Democratic Party fundraiser Ed Buck warned his friends to steer clear of the well-connected donor and referred to him as a "f---ing devil" and "a horrible, horrible man," according to a report Monday night.

Timothy Dean, 55, was found dead in Buck's apartment early on Jan. 7, 17 months after 26-year-old male escort Gemmel Moore was found dead of a methamphetamine overdose. The Daily Beast reported that Dean and Buck had a relationship years before Moore's death, but Dean's friends claimed the relationship turned into a one-sided after -- with Buck sending multiple text messages to Dean and Dean declining to respond.

One friend of Dean, DeMarco Majors, told the website that Moore told him during a November 2018 conversation: "Ed Buck hits me up all the time, and I don’t answer none of his text messages. Don't you take your a-- over there." Majors said he told Dean that he didn't know who Buck was, but that did not deter Dean.

"Don’t you go over there,” Dean reportedly told Majors again. "I'm not going over there either. S---, I'm not trying to end up dead."

Buck's attorney, Seymour Amster, described Dean at the time of his death as a "longtime friend" of Buck who had "reached out for his help" and had begun "acting in a bizarre way" after he arrived at Buck's apartment the night he died. When contacted by Fox News about the Daily Beast report, Amster wrote in an email: "We are in possession of text messages from Mr. Dean to Mr. Buck that refute the picture the Daily Beast is trying to paint of the relationship between Mr. Dean and Mr. Buck. The text messages do not put Mr. Dean in a good light. We are sure that law enforcement are in possession of these texts as well.

"It seems that Mr. Dean had a secret life he was keeping from a lot of his friends," Amster added. "That is as far as we will go with what we and law enforcement possess ... If this matter ends up in a courtroom, and that is a big 'IF' we will then decide if it is necessary to disclose Mr. Dean's secret life."

Walter Harris, another friend of Dean's, texted him an article about Moore's July 2017 death. In response, Dean said: "This might be it for Ed Buck" and called him, "f---ing devil." In July 2018, prosecutors declined to file charges against Buck in Moore's death.

Still another friend, Jermaine Johnson, said Dean told him after Moore died that Buck was “a horrible, horrible man.”

FAMILY WANTS ANSWERS IN ESCORT'S DEATH AT DEM DONOR'S HOME

The cause of Dean's death has not been made public. Amster told Fox News that Buck was interviewed by police on the night of Dean's death and "disclosed all of the information law enforcement needed.

"There is no reason to have him re-interviewed," Amster added, "there is nothing new they can obtain."

Fifth Stabbing in Four Days in London Neighborhood

A neighborhood in North London saw its fifth stabbing in the past four days, leaving locals on edge as police increase patrols, according to UK media.

A man in his 30s is reportedly fighting for his life after collapsing in the street, the BBC reports.

Police discovered him suffering from a stab wound at approximately 5:00am on Aberdeen Road in Edmonton – scene of the first of four stabbings that unfolded across 10 hours between Saturday night and Sunday morning.

"The actions of the suspect, the fact that the incidents are in a similar area and the description given means that we are potentially only looking for one perpetrator," said Chief Superintendent Helen Millichap.

Police say the suspect in the latest attack was described similarly as in prior attacks – a "tall, skinny black man, wearing a hoodie."

Three suspects have been arrested in connection with the attacks, but at least one man has been released on bail and it is still unclear if the stabbings are related, although all victims were reportedly knifed in the back in a similar manner and in the same vicinity.

"I am aware that events from the weekend have caused a huge amount of worry and concern among the community, and that this incident will cause further alarm," said Detective Superintendent Luke Marks.

"While at this stage the incident has not yet been formally linked, the location and manner of this attack will be of concern to the public."

Testing of 100K backlogged rape kits across US leads to 1,000 arrests

Efforts to clear a nationwide backlog of untested rape kits going back months, years and, in some cases, decades has led to more than 1,000 arrests and hundreds of convictions, law enforcement officials said Tuesday.

New York City District Attorney Cyrus Vance has provided $38 million in funding to jurisdictions in 20 states, leading to 186 arrests and 64 convictions since 2015.

“Testing every rape kit is our best practice and our moral imperative – both to ensure survivors receive the support and action they deserve and to ensure that these backlogs never happen again,” Vance said Tuesday at a news conference to announce the results of the program.

More than 55,000 rape kits that have languished over time have been tested and the backlogs in Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, North Dakota, Ohio, and Oregon have been eliminated or nearly eliminated, he said.

At the same time the Justice Department has funded a program that has sent another nearly 45,000 rape kits to labs nationwide, leading to about 900 prosecutions and 498 convictions, the Associated Press reported Tuesday.

The Justice Department’s initiative has provided $154 million in funding for the testing of backlogged rape kits over three years, according to the AP.

Money from the DA has enabled the Tucson Police Department to send for testing 1,400 rape kits that had been collected but never submitted to the crime lab.

THOUSANDS OF UNTESTED RAPE KITS GATHERING DUST ON POLICE STORAGE SHELVES; DELAY JUSTICE FOR YEARS

Of those kits, three hit on the DNA profile of a man named Nathan Loebe, Vance said. The DNA from these kits also connected Loebe, 38, to cold cases in Massachusetts and Colorado.

“Tucson Police initiated a full-scale investigation into these assaults and discovered that, for years, Nathan Loebe had impersonated Brian Bonsall, an actor on the popular sitcom Family Ties, to assault women he met on online dating sites,” the DA said.

Ticking clock may save Trump from impeachment in Congress

March 12, 2019

By Richard Cowan

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A momentous question hanging over Washington is whether investigations into President Donald Trump will prompt the U.S. Congress to try to remove him from office through the impeachment process set out in the U.S. Constitution.

The answer could be significantly influenced by the clock.

With the 2020 presidential and congressional election campaigns already gearing up, the political calendar could dictate whether initiating the time-consuming impeachment process is even plausible, Democratic and Republican lawmakers said.

An emerging sentiment among some lawmakers is that by the time a president is nearing or in the last year of a four-year term, voters in the next election, not Congress, should determine whether he stays or goes, even amid allegations of wrongdoing.

The House of Representatives, which would initiate any impeachment bid against the Republican Trump, is controlled by Democrats. Republicans control the Senate, which would conduct a trial and then vote on whether to remove Trump if the House impeaches him for any “high crimes and misdemeanors,” as the Constitution specifies. [nL1N20H1WX]

A Republican-led House voted to impeach Democratic President Bill Clinton in 1998, midway through his second term in office, and the Senate voted not to remove him in 1999. Under the Constitution, presidents are barred from seeking a third term.

Asked whether Congress should begin impeachment actions against Trump if it means doing so late this year or into 2020, Senator Dianne Feinstein, the Senate Judiciary Committee’s top Democrat, told Reuters, “Well, the (presidential) race is next year, so I would think it would not make sense perhaps to do it in an election year.”

“But the year before, I think is fair game,” added Feinstein, who like all Senate Democrats at the time voted to acquit Clinton of the perjury and obstruction of justice counts approved by the House.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Trump is unfit to be president but she is “not for impeachment.”

“Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path, because it divides the country,” Pelosi said in a Washington Post interview published on Monday. “And he’s just not worth it.”

Representative Steve Chabot, one of 13 House Republicans who prosecuted Clinton’s impeachment charges before the Senate, said in an interview, “The closer one gets to an election, I think the bar goes up as to what one considers to be impeachable.”

As an election nears, “I think there is an inherent consideration that perhaps the voters should decide this,” added Chabot, a House Judiciary Committee member.

Special Counsel Robert Mueller is preparing to submit to U.S. Attorney General William Barr a report on his investigation into whether Trump’s 2016 campaign conspired with Russia and whether Trump unlawfully sought to obstruct the probe. Several congressional committees have launched their own investigations.

Trump has denied obstruction of justice and collusion with Moscow.

PRESIDENTIAL RACE TAKES SHAPE

The Clinton impeachment process ran five months from the release of the independent counsel report that prompted the House to act until his Senate acquittal.

Even though the Nov. 3, 2020, election is roughly 20 months away, numerous Democrats have kicked off campaigns to win the right to challenge Trump, who is seeking re-election. The state-by-state contests to decide the Republican and Democratic presidential nominees begin Feb. 3, with the Iowa caucuses.

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, who testified before the House Judiciary Committee during Clinton’s impeachment process, said of the current Congress: “They’ve basically got a sweet spot of a year” to impeach and hold a Senate trial, if lawmakers deem those actions necessary.

Turley told an American Bar Association conference in New Orleans, “No one is going to tolerate an impeachment months before an election, when the president is on the campaign trail.”

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, whose panel would be instrumental in drafting any articles of impeachment, has said he believes Trump has committed obstruction of justice, but that it is too soon to decide on impeachment. “We do not now have the evidence all sorted out,” Nadler told ABC’s “This Week” program on March 3.

“Before you impeach somebody, you have to persuade the American public that it ought to happen,” Nadler added.

Only two presidents, Clinton and Andrew Johnson, have been impeached by the House. Neither was removed. In the aftermath of the U.S. Civil War, Johnson was impeached in 1868 after firing his secretary of war, only to be acquitted by the Senate.

President Richard Nixon resigned amid the Watergate scandal in 1974 after the House Judiciary Committee approved articles of impeachment but before the full House had a chance to vote.

Regardless of whether impeachment is pursued, Democrats and even some fellow Republicans noted the importance of congressional oversight of Trump.

Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin, a Judiciary Committee member, said in an interview that the “oversight function is the critical thing right now.”

Raskin added, “Timing is obviously going to be a subsidiary factor along with the character of the offenses that have been discovered.” Timing, Raskin said, “becomes more of a factor” in impeachment as elections near.

Chabot offered some advice to his fellow Judiciary Committee members: “Move forward with great caution.”

Chabot said if there is evidence that Trump “colluded with (Russian President Vladimir) Putin to steal an election – if that really happened – then he ought to be impeached, as far as I’m concerned.” Chabot quickly added that he doubts there will be such evidence.

Democratic Representative Joe Courtney said in an interview impeachment “would probably be a very hard thing for the average American to swallow if we’ve got an election” looming with Trump on the ballot.

“Having said that,” Courtney added, “there are certain circumstances, which I don’t think we’re in right now – sometimes you just have to do what you have to do if the country’s at great risk.”

LONDON (Reuters) – President Donald Trump has accepted Queen Elizabeth’s invitation to make a state visit to Britain in June, Buckingham Palace said on Tuesday.

Trump and his wife Melania will make the trip from June 3-5, the palace said, adding that further details would be announced in due course.

Trump will hold a meeting with British Prime Minister Theresa May in Downing Street and the trip also coincides with events to mark the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings during World War Two.

“The UK and United States have a deep and enduring partnership that is rooted in our common history and shared interests,” May said in a statement.

“The State Visit is an opportunity to strengthen our already close relationship in areas such as trade, investment, security and defense, and to discuss how we can build on these ties in the years ahead.”

SINGAPORE (Reuters) – Prospective bidders of struggling Jet Airways Ltd need to settle the airline’s existing debt obligations as part of any deal to take over the airline, Jet’s consortium of lenders, led by State Bank of India (SBI), said in a statement.

Jet’s lenders last month agreed to bail out the airline in a complex deal that involved the banks taking a temporary majority stake in the company – while they look for a new investor – and providing a fresh loan of $218 million.

In a notice on its website, SBI Capital Markets, a unit of SBI, said prospective bidders were required to submit expressions of interest for Jet by 6 pm India time on April 10.

April 26, 2019

GERMISTON, South Africa (Reuters) – Olympic 400 meters champion Wayde van Niekerk has backed South African compatriot Caster Semenya in her battle with the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), which now appears to have taken a new twist.

Semenya, a double 800 meters Olympic gold medalist, is waiting for the outcome of her appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to halt the introduction of new regulations by governing body IAAF that would require her to take medicine to limit her natural levels of testosterone.

The IAAF wants female athletes with differences of sexual development who run in events from 400 meters to a mile, to reduce their blood testosterone level to below five (5) nmol/L for a period of six months before they can compete, saying they have an unfair advantage.

“She’s fighting for something beyond just track and field, she’s fighting for woman in sports, in society and I respect her for that,” Van Niekerk told reporters.

“I will support her and with the hard work and talent that she’s been putting into the sport. With what she believes in and what she’s dreaming for, I’ve got a lot of respect for her.

“I really hope and pray that everything just goes from strength to strength for her.”

Semenya has sprung a surprise at the on-going South African Athletics Championships though, ditching the 800 meters and instead competing over 1,500 and 5,000-metres – the latter one would not require her to medically lower her testosterone level.

She stormed to victory in the 5,000-metres final in a modest time of 16:05.97, but looked to have lots left in the tank as she passed the finish line.

Semenya beat fellow Olympian and defending national 5,000m champion Dominique Scott in Thursday’s final but the latter admitted she is unsure whether the 800m specialist could be a serious Olympic contender over the longer distance.

“Honestly‚ I have no idea‚” Scott said. “Before today I probably would have said no. It’s hard to compare a 5,000 at altitude to a 5,000 at sea level.

“But I think she’s an amazing runner and I don’t think there’s any limit or ceiling on what she can do.”

Van Niekerk, the 400m world record holder, had to abort his comeback from a knee injury, that had sidelined him for 18 months, following a combination of cold weather and a wet track.

“We are trying to take the correct decisions now early in the year so as not to put myself in any harm,” he said.

“It was a bit chilly this entire week prepping and coming through here as well it was quite cold and it caused bit of tightness in my leg. We decided to not risk it.

“My recovery is going well and I would like to be back in competition this year, but will only do so if I can deliver a good performance.

“I am a competitor and respect my opponents, so I need to be at my best when I return.”

Police said Mohamed Zahran, leader of the National Towheed Jamaat militant group, had been killed in one of the bombings. The group’s second in command was also arrested, police said.

Zahran amassed an online following for his hate-filled sermons. Some were delivered before a banner depicting the Twin Towers.

Sri Lankan authorities said Friday that Islamic cleric Mohammed Zahran died in the blast at the Shangri-La hotel during the Easter Sunday atatcks that killed at least 250 people.

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said Friday that the attackers responsible for the bombings were supported by the Islamic State group. Around 140 people in Sri Lanka had connections to ISIS, Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena said.

“We will completely control this and create a free and peaceful environment for people to live,” he said.

Investigators determined the attackers received military training from someone called “Army Mohideen.” They also received weapons training overseas and at some locations in Sri Lanka, according to authorities.

A copper factory operator arrested in connection with the bombings helped Mohideen make improvised explosive devices, police said. The bombings have led to increased security throughout the island nation as authorities warned of another attack.

A Malaysian mountain climber was being treated in a hospital in Nepal’s capital Friday after being stranded nearly two days alone near the summit of Annapurna.

A helicopter crew searching for the missing climber on Thursday spotted Wui Kin Chin waving his hands at them, and rescuers brought him down to a lower camp.

At the time of his rescue, Chin had been without an oxygen bottle, food and water for over 40 hours, said Mingma Sherpa, the head of Seven Summit Treks, which arranged his expedition.

Chin was flown to the capital, Kathmandu, on Friday and taken to a hospital, where his wife joined him.

Chin is an anesthesiologist and accomplished climber, and Sherpa credited Chin’s medical knowledge and familiarity with mountains for keeping him alive.

“It’s a big thing to stay alive in that altitude without food, water, and oxygen,” Sherpa said. He described Chin on Thursday as fine but not in condition to walk.

Chin was a part of a 13-member expedition led by a French climber and was separated from the others during the descent.

The 8,091-meter (26,545-foot) Mount Annapurna is the ninth tallest mountain in Nepal and the 10th tallest in the world. It’s considered an especially treacherous mountain due to its difficult terrain and weather conditions.

Spain’s prime minister says he’s open to a coalition with an anti-austerity party, hinting for the first time at a possible center-left governing alliance after Sunday’s national election.

In an interview published Friday by El Pais newspaper, Socialist leader Pedro Sánchez says “it isn’t a problem” for the far-left United We Can to become part of his Cabinet if he wins the tight race.

With Spain’s electoral law banning polls during the last week of campaigning, it’s unclear if the two parties will emerge strong enough in the lower house of parliament or whether a right-wing alliance could assemble a majority.

Sánchez is calling on Spaniards to cast a “useful vote” and has warned that the rise of the far right in polls could be underestimated given the large pool of undecided voters.

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) – Dutch telecom firm Royal KPN NV said on Friday it would select a Western supplier to build its core 5G mobile network, making it one of the first European operators to make clear it would not pick China’s Huawei for such work.

The United States has been seeking to discourage its allies from using equipment made by Huawei because of concerns that it could eventually be used for Chinese government spying. Huawei says such worries are baseless and U.S. policy is driven by economic interests.

The Hague-based KPN, the Netherlands’ largest telecom firm, said its decision took into account “the evolving assessment on the protection of vital infrastructure and the influence this may have on future Dutch policy.”

The Dutch government has not taken a decision on the issue.

KPN, which also reported on Friday slightly worse than expected first quarter core earnings of 563 million euros ($627 million), said it would still use equipment made by Huawei in some capacities.

In addition, the company announced a preliminary deal with Huawei to upgrade existing mobile telecommunications gear to make it safer. Huawei has been a key supplier to KPN in the past decade.

The Dutch government set up a task force with KPN and other major operators in the Netherlands this month to analyze the “vulnerability of 5G telecommunications networks to misuse by technology vendors … and measures needed to manage risks.”

KPN said it would use equipment made by Huawei, which it described as a world leader in radio and antenna technology, to improve security on its existing network.

“This preliminary agreement can be adjusted or reversed to align it with future Dutch government policy,” it added.

Sources told Reuters on Wednesday that Britain’s National Security Council (NSC) had decided to bar Huawei from core parts of the country’s 5G network and restrict its access to non-core areas.
