Rob Goldstone ready to come to U.S. and talk to Mueller

Source: NBC News

The British publicist who helped set up the fateful meeting between Donald Trump Jr. and a group of Russians at Trump Tower in June 2016 is ready to meet with special counsel Robert Mueller's office, according to several people familiar with the matter.

Rob Goldstone has been living in Bangkok, Thailand, but has been communicating with Mueller's office through his lawyer, said a source close to Goldstone.

Goldstone's New York lawyer, G. Robert Gage, declined to comment other than to say, "nothing is presently scheduled."

However, sources close to Goldstone and familiar with the investigation say they expect he will travel to the United States at some point "in the near future," as one put it.

Republican Sen. Ron Johnson will oppose current GOP tax bill

Source: CNBC

•He comes the first Republican senator to explicitly say he will not back the bill.


The lawmaker from Wisconsin is the first GOP senator to explicitly say he will not back the tax proposal. Johnson told The Wall Street Journal that the bill benefits corporations more than other businesses.

"If they can pass it without me, let them," he told the newspaper, which first reported his opposition. "I'm not going to vote for this tax package."

Johnson's opposition adds uncertainty to the GOP goal of chopping tax rates on businesses and individuals by the end of the year. Other Republican senators have raised concerns about budget deficits fueled by tax cuts, though none other than Johnson have publicly opposed the bill, yet.

Trumps nuclear authority divides senators alarmed by his volatile behavior

Source: The Washington Post

Senators trying to prevent President Trump from launching an unprovoked nuclear attack were stymied Tuesday, after a panel of experts warned them against rewriting laws to restrain a commander in chief many worry is impulsive and unpredictable enough to start a devastating international crisis.

Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), who has said Trump’s threats to global rivals could put the country “on the path to World War III,” began Tuesday’s session warning of the inherent danger in a system where the president has “sole authority” to give launch orders there are “no way to revoke.” By the time Corker emerged from the hearing — the first to address the president’s nuclear authority in over four decades — he was at a loss for what to do next.

“I do not see a legislative solution today,” Corker told reporters. “That doesn’t mean, over the course of the next several months, one might not develop, but I don’t see it today.”
