MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — A journalist arrested last year while covering protests over the Dakota Access oil pipeline has been cleared of criminal trespass charges.

Court records say Monet was reporting for Yes! Magazine on police clearing a protest camp in Morton County when she and about 75 others were arrested on Feb. 1, 2017. Police testified that the camp sat on Dakota Access-owned property, but demonstrators alleged it was treaty land.

In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) — A California man who pleaded guilty in the special counsel’s Russia investigation should have a sentencing date set by the end of this month.
Prosecutors for special counsel Robert Mueller told a federal judge Monday that they will be ready in the next few weeks to set such a date for Richard Pinedo, who admitted in February to selling bank account information to Russians.
The move by prosecutors is another sign that part of the Mueller investigation may be wrapping up.
In recent weeks, Mueller’s team also started the process of sentencing George Papadopoulos, a Trump campaign aide who pleaded guilty last year to lying to investigators. Papadopoulos is a key cooperator in the investigation of Russian election interference and any possible coordination with Trump associates.
EL RODEO, Guatemala (AP) — The known death toll for the eruption of Guatemala’s Volcano of Fire has taken a sudden jump upward.

The head of the country’s disaster agency had previously put the death toll at 33, but warned it would go higher.

Shots were fired as the SWAT team went into the suspect’s room but Lewis says officers did not fire any shots.
The suspect was identified only as an adult male.
Lewis says the suspect has been linked to all four of the killings. Previously police had said three of the killings were linked and they were investigating whether the fourth death was related to the other killings.
The victims were a forensic psychiatrist, two paralegals and a counselor.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Bill Clinton says the #MeToo movement is overdue. But he’s bristling at questions about Monica Lewinsky.
In an interview with NBC’s “Today Show” released Monday, Clinton was asked whether he should have resigned 20 years ago for his sexual relationship with the White House intern and whether the #MeToo movement has changed his perspective.
Clinton says his critics are “omitting facts” to lump him in with other men accused of sexual assault and harassment.
Lewinsky has said their relationship “was not sexual assault” but “constituted a gross abuse of power.”
Clinton tells NBC: “I dealt with it 20 years ago, plus … And I’ve tried to do a good job since then, and with my life and with my work. That’s all I have to say.”
SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — A day after graduating from high school, a group of Florida school shooting survivors has announced a multistate bus tour to “get young people educated, registered and motivated to vote.”
