Woah! In new filing Mueller’s team says Manafort lied to the FBI and special counsel’s office “on a variety of subject matters” after pleading guilty and they would like him to be sentenced by a judge in DC.

In an exclusive interview with HillReporter, alleged Mueller rape accuser Carolyne Cass opens up and tells us that she does not know if Mueller was actually the person who raped her and that both Jacob Wohl and Jack Burkman published and shared, against her will, ‘inaccurate‘ statements during a November 1st press conference. Cass, who doesn’t deny being raped during the time period that Wohl and Burkman claimed, admits multiple errors in the published accusation document and doesn’t recall if she ever personally signed the report. In fact, Cass was assured by Burkman and Wohl that the document would “never be released.”

WASHINGTON — A top White House official responsible for American policy toward Saudi Arabia resigned on Friday evening, a move that may suggest fractures inside the Trump administration over the response to the brutal killing of the dissident Jamal Khashoggi.

The official, Kirsten Fontenrose, had pushed for tough measures against the Saudi government, and had been in Riyadh to discuss a raft of sanctions that the American government imposed in recent days against those identified as responsible for the killing, according to two people familiar with the conversations.

Giuliani tells me this afternoon that Trump & his lawyers haven't decided whether they'll answer all of Mueller's questions, which are exclusively about events pre-election. "There are some that create more issues for us legally than others," he said.

* Refused obstruction questions
* Refused to answer key questions
* Refused to give original answers^

^He's said most/all answers will be quotes from past statements.

Trump is preparing to remove Kirstjen Nielsen as Homeland Security secretary, aides say

President Trump has told advisers he has decided to remove Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, and her departure from the administration is likely to occur in the coming weeks, if not sooner, according to five current and former White House officials.

Trump canceled a planned trip with Nielsen this week to visit U.S. troops at the border in South Texas and told aides over the weekend he wants her out as soon as possible, these officials said. The president has grumbled for months about what he views as Nielsen’s lackluster performance on immigration enforcement and is believed to be looking for a replacement who will implement his policy ideas with more alacrity.

The announcement could come as soon as this week, three of these officials said.

Hobbs (D) grabs her largest lead yet in AZ's all-important Secretary of State race: +3,645 votes. Pima put her ahead.

Big reservoir of GOP votes (Pinal) doesn't have enough votes left to flip this. So Gaynor has to win what's left in Maricopa; he's narrowly behind there so far.
