Former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos sentenced to 14 days in prison for lying to FBI
Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos was sentenced Friday to 14 days in prison for lying to the FBI during Special Counsel Robert Mueller?s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Papadopoulos was also sentenced to 13 months supervised release, 200 hours community service and a $9,500 fine. Before his sentencing, the former adviser said he was ?deeply embarrassed and ashamed.?
?My entire life has been turned upside down, I hope to have a second chance to redeem myself,? he said. Mueller?s team had pushed for a six-month prison sentence, while Papadopoulos? defense had requested probation.
Papadopoulos served as a foreign policy adviser to President Trump?s 2016 campaign, and was the first to plead guilty in the Mueller probe. According to the indictment, Papadopoulos was told by a Maltese professor in April 2016 that Russian officials had ?dirt? on Hillary Clinton in the form of ?thousands of emails.?
He later attempted to use his links to the professor and Russian nationals to attempt to set up a meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. He admitted to lying about those contacts to Mueller?s team, which investigators said led them to miss a chance to interview the professor, Joseph Mifsud.

http://thehill.com/hilltv/what-amer...ief-americans-have-dismissed-that-trump-actedGallup Editor-in-Chief Frank Newport said on Tuesday that Americans have come to reject the idea that President Trump did anything criminal with regards to Russian interference in the 2016 election.
"A lot of Americans have kind of dismissed the idea that he [Trump] colluded to the extent that he did something illegal," Newport told Hill.TV's Joe Concha on "What America's Thinking."
"A lot more Americans would say he did something wrong, but it wasn't illegal," he continued.
Newport was referring to a Gallup poll released last week that found that only 29 percent of respondents said they believed Trump acted illegally concerning Russian involvement during the 2016 campaign.

fortune11 said:TRUMP ? ?3000 people did not die in the two hurricanes that hit Puerto Rico. When I left the Island, AFTER the storm had hit, they had anywhere from 6 to 18 deaths. As time went by it did not go up by much. Then, a long time later, they started to report really large numbers, like 3000...?
this latest tweet is not just Trump being Trump -
The President of the United States just denied the official death toll from Hurricane Maria and blamed it on Democrats.
This is among the lowest statements made by any American president
Yet we know his cult members will buy it hook , line and sinker .
This is what our ?democracy? has deranged down to at this point in times .
But those tax cuts and gorsuch and kavanaugh, boy they are sure worth it !!
Administration of Trump-bashing Puerto Rican mayor reportedly facing FBI corruption probe
The administration of the mayor of San Juan, Puerto Rico, who shot to international fame after criticizing President Trump for not doing enough to help Hurricane Maria victims, is being investigated by the FBI on corruption charges, according a local news outlet.
Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz and her administration are under fire for allegedly obstructing critical supplies from reaching victims of the category-4 hurricane that leveled much of the tiny U.S. territory nearly nine months ago.

Perspective said:You're conflating issues. "How many deaths resulted?" is a different question than "Who is responsible for the deaths that occurred?" Trump is disputing the death toll.
