BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s new Ethics Commission is working out how far its authority extends and determining the rules that will guide its actions and decision-making.
The panel oversees the conduct of legislators, state officials, political candidates and lobbyists. Chairman Ron Goodman says the commission will not investigate every ethics violation in the state.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that Goodman told the board Sept. 13 that he has been questioned about whether the commission can investigate lawmakers’ use of social media and even oil spills.
That’s unlikely, but one of the board’s first tasks is to write guidelines to govern how it acts. Assistant Attorney General Allyson Hicks says the board has “broad constitutional authority” over its rule-making.
The governor and legislative leaders appointed the Ethics Commission’s five board members in August.
DEVILS LAKE, N.D. (AP) — A former Devils Lake police officer who was fired after he killed an unarmed man during an arrest is suing the city and the police department for wrongful termination.
Prosecutors declined to charge Brandon Potts for the July 2018 killing of Daniel Fuller. Investigators said the 26-year-old Fuller died after Potts’ gun went off during a struggle.
Potts was fired in February, and sued the city earlier this month. In his lawsuit, Potts says he had his firearm out to protect himself and his partner because Fuller was potentially armed.
Valley News Live reports the city and police department have denied Potts’ claims.
When firing Potts, Police Chief Joe Knowski said there was no set of circumstances in which Potts could effectively perform his duties and having him on the force might tarnish the department’s reputation.

In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says he spoke to Ukraine’s new president about his summer election and the fact that “we don’t want our people, like Vice President Biden and his son” contributing to corruption already happening in Ukraine.
Trump appeared Sunday to stop short of acknowledging that he discussed Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and Biden’s son, Hunter, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, during a July 25 telephone conversation that’s the basis of a whistleblower complaint against Trump.
A person familiar with the matter has told The Associated Press that Trump urged Zelenskiy to investigate Hunter Biden, who worked for a Ukrainian gas company. The person wasn’t authorized to discuss the issue publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request to clarify Trump’s remarks.
Trump answered several questions about the conversation with Zelenskiy as the president left the White House for Texas.
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — In a none-too-subtle jibe at Trump’s plans to withdraw from the 2015 Paris climate agreement, Chinese foreign minister Wang Yi, said countries “must honor our commitments and follow through on the Paris Agreement.”
“The withdrawal of certain parties will not shake the collective goal of the world community,” Wang said to applause.
He made the remarks Monday at climate summit sponsored by the United Nations where more than 60 world leaders were scheduled to speak.
Earlier, Trump made a quick, unscheduled stop at the conference, listened quietly and left without saying anything.
LONDON (AP) — Prime Minister Boris Johnson says a “huge effort” is underway to bring home British tourists and passengers stranded by the sudden financial collapse of travel company Thomas Cook.
He adds Monday that steps needed to be taken so “you don’t end up with a situation where the taxpayer, where the state is having to step in and bring people home.”
Johnson asks “whether it’s right that the directors and the board should pay themselves large sums when a company can go down the tubes like that.”
He says tour companies must properly insure themselves against this kind of eventuality.
Johnson spoke at the U.K. consul-general’s residence in New York as he attended the U.N. General Assembly.
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — An Afghan official says that at least 40 civilians have been killed during an Afghan special forces raid and airstrikes conducted against of Taliban in southern Helmand province.
Abdul Majed Akhand, deputy provincial councilman, says that the majority of the dead are women and children who were at a wedding ceremony in Musa Qala district.
Akhund said that 12 other civilians were wounded and are in the hospital in Lashkar Gah, the capital of the province.
DALLAS (AP) — Prosecutors and defense attorneys in the trial of a former Dallas police officer who shot and killed her neighbor spent Monday morning arguing over whether material from her cell phone could be admitted as evidence.
A prosecutor said Amber Guyger’s cellphone messages on the day that she shot and killed Botham Jean included sexually explicit exchanges with her partner from the Dallas Police Department. The prosecutor said Guyger’s partner would testify in the trial.
Prosecutors argue that the messages were relevant to showing Guyger’s mental state before and after the shooting, while the defense argued that the material was not relevant and could be prejudicial.
The judge is expected to rule on the issue before opening arguments begin later Monday.
NEW YORK (AP) — When opera superstar Placido Domingo appeared in Europe after being accused of sexual harassment by multiple women, his performances were greeted with rapturous ovations.
This week, the spotlight moves to the U.S., where Domingo faces two investigations into his behavior and is scheduled to help kick off the new season at New York’s Metropolitan Opera. Companies in three other American cities have canceled his performances due to the allegations.
Wednesday’s appearance in “Macbeth” marks the tenor’s first U.S. performance since the publication of two Associated Press stories in which numerous women said he sexually harassed them or engaged in other inappropriate behavior, including one soprano who said he grabbed her bare breast under her robe.
Domingo has called the allegations “in many ways, simply incorrect,” without providing any specifics.
