Stephen Moore: Trump Federal Reserve's choice withdraws – Live | American News

In Moore's story this morning from Guardian journalist Jon Swaine:

Stephen Moore, Donald Trump's choice for the board of governors of the Federal Reserve, has been underpaying his ex-wife's alimony bills for years, leaving her for tens of thousands of dollars.

Moore continued to pay Allison Moore much less than was required in the settlement of their divorce in 2011, according to a source close to the arrangements.

The underpayment persisted even after Moore was found guilty of contempt in Virginia in 2012 and was about to have his home seized after failing to pay Allison Moore more than $ 300,000 that he owed him at the time.

A spokesman for Moore said that he had declined to comment.

…

A source close to the Moores deal, who declined to be identified to discuss personal matters, said Stephen Moore had since paid Allison Moore about $ 12,000 a month, a shortfall of about 8,000 dollars per month.

Previously, Moore owed the IRS more than $ 75,000 in federal taxes. He paid the bill while he was still studying for the Federal Reserve.

President Trump just tweeted Stephen Moore, his choice for a board member of the Federal Reserve, removed his name from critics after criticizing the fact that he did not pay his ex-wife any tens of thousands of dollars in child support.

Although Trump has called for an end to attacks on places of worship, lawmakers in Louisiana want to expand the protection of people who shoot and kill people in churches, synagogues and mosques.

Expanding state law "Stand Your Ground" would allow people to carry guns in a place of worship without notifying religious leaders.

Republican Beryl Amedee, Republican, told AP: "Churches must take steps to defend themselves when they are attacked."

A member of the Judiciary is trying to set a date for the appearance of Special Advocate Robert Mueller and said he hoped Mueller would appear before May 15.

Barr refused to testify Thursday before the House Judiciary Committee and also missed a deadline to provide members with an unredacted version of the Mueller report and its underlying evidences.

This report is from AP:

Pelosi also stated that the refusal of the administration to respect the subpoenas of a House committee was "very, very serious"And noted that ignoring the Congressional summons was one of the dismissal articles against former President Richard Nixon.

While the Democrats described Barr as lying, they tried to talk to Mueller himself. Nadler said the panel was hoping the special advocate would appear before the committee on May 15 and "harden the date."

It is unclear whether Barr will eventually negotiate an appearance with the House panel. Nadler stated that he would not immediately issue a subpoena for Barr's appearance, but that he would be primarily interested in obtaining the full report on Mueller, probably including a vote that Barr would be held guilty of contempt of Congress.

Pastor Paula White closed the Rose Garden Service for the National Day of Prayer with a very quick prayer and "Amen!" Amid the whistles of the crowd.

President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump shook hands with religious leaders before Trump took power one last time: "You are the leaders of all," Trump told the crowd.

The Ministry of Justice responded to Pelosi's comments.

More context on Pelosi's comments from Lauren Gambino, journalist at Guardian Washington DC.

Trump, organizer of the National Day of Prayer, refers to "witch hunts" against his administration.

Trump said his administration had just "finalized new conscientious rights protections" for doctors, pharmacists and other health care workers. Civil liberties groups have said that these protections could be used in the future to discriminate against homobaduals and transgender people.

Trump then made reference to the new abortion restrictions that Republicans have embarked on to set up nationwide.

"Every child, born and unborn, is a sacred gift from God," said Trump.

President Trump has just called a victim of the California synagogue attack on the podium to speak at the Rose Garden. His two hands are in blue bandages. He stated that his fingers had been "torn off" during the attack.

He called for a minute of silence in public schools. "When you called me, I was crying at home," he told the president.

President Trump is now addressing a number of important issues for evangelical Christians, including ending the Johnson amendment and saying "Merry Christmas."

The Johnson Amendment prevented tax-exempt places of worship from supporting political candidates. The Trump administration has terminated the application of this provision.

"We got rid of the Johnson amendment – it's a big problem," Trump said. He also congratulated his "spiritual counselor" Paula White.

"I told Paula White – whom I want to thank very much for what she did -" They took your voice off politically, "he said referring to the Johnson amendment. are the people I want to listen to politically. "

"We are proud to form one nation under God."
