Giuliani is trying hard to support his client&#8217;s stance on legal challenges coming from investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election and a $130,000 hush payment to a porn actress. But the former New York City mayor is delivering confounding and at times contradictory statements as he mounts Trump&#8217;s defense through the media in a bewildering display.<\/article>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<article id=\"story_content\" class=\"ng-binding\">WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Donald Trump is defending Gina Haspel, his nominee to head the Central Intelligence Agency, who has come under fire because of her involvement in detaining and brutally interrogating terror suspects after 9\/11. Trump says Democrats want to defeat Haspel&#8217;s nomination because she is &#8220;too tough on terror.&#8221; Trump calls Haspel &#8220;highly respected,&#8221; and says she has come under fire &#8220;because she was too tough on Terrorists.&#8221;<\/article>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<article id=\"story_content\" class=\"ng-binding\">WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 U.S. military officials have sought to ward off congressional efforts to address child-on-child sexual assaults on bases, even as they disclose that the problem is larger than previously acknowledged. Some Defense Department officials began discussing that strategy last fall, as The Associated Press was investigating sexual assaults among children of military service members. At that point, the Pentagon was not tracking the problem but some officials expected questions from Congress.<\/article>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<article id=\"story_content\" class=\"ng-binding\">QAMISHLI, Syria (AP) \u2014 After defeating the Islamic State group in battle, Syria&#8217;s Kurds are now eager to show they can bring justice against the group&#8217;s members, and the emphasis is on leniency and reconciliation. The aim is to extend bridges to the Arabs they now rule and win international legitimacy. So they abolished the death penalty, offer reduced sentences to militants who turn themselves in and have given amnesties to build ties with Arab tribes.<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CSi Weather&#8230; The National Weather Service in Grand Forks has issued a Red Flag Warning for dry fuels, low humidity, and strong winds, which is in effect from noon today to 6 PM CDT this evening.
