Washington The attorneys general of Maryland and the District of Columbia plan to file a lawsuit today alleging that foreign payments to President Donald Trump's businesses violate the U.S. constitution, according to a source familiar with the situation. Trump already faces a similar lawsuit that was brought in January by plaintiffs including a ethics non-profit group, but this lawsuit has a better chance in court as the first government action against the allegations that Trump violated the constitution's emoluments clause. Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara revealed that he received a handful of "unusual" phone calls from Donald Trump after the November election that made him feel uncomfortable, and said he was fired after declining to take the third call. Speaking on ABC News' "This Week" in his first televised interview since Trump fired him in March as the top federal prosecutor in Manhattan, Bharara said he believed Trump's calls to him violated the usual boundaries between the executive branch and independent criminal investigators.

Nuclear power About 200 nuclear reactors around the world will be shut down over the next quarter century, mostly in Europe, according to the International Energy Agency. Companies that specialize in the massively complex and dangerous job of dismantling plants are increasingly deploying robots - and turning away from humans - to do this work, presenting engineering challenges as well as a rare area of revenue growth for decommissioning services.

Philippines
On his Facebook profile page Omarkhayam Romato Maute describes himself as a "Walking Time-Bomb." When a band of militants led by Omarkhayam and one of his brothers overran a town in the southern Philippines on May 23, festooning its alleyways with the black banners of Islamic State, the Facebook description seemed appropriate. Governments across Southeast Asia had been bracing for the time when Islamic State, on a back foot in Iraq and Syria, would look to establish a 'caliphate' in Southeast Asia and become a terrifying threat to the region. |
