UPDATE: Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine on Thursday signed into law a bill protecting unborn babies from abortion from the moment they have a detectable heartbeat, usually around six weeks of gestation. Even before the bill was signed, the American Civil Liberties Union of Ohio said it was preparing a suit to challenge to the law, something DeWine and Ohio pro-life advocates anticipated.

In North Korea, the sin of a single family member can condemn the next three generations to fearful suffering. Many transgressions can lead to arrest and imprisonment in the regime’s political prison camps, but perhaps the cardinal sin is attempting to escape to China or South Korea.

Kim Hye Sook learned this in February of 1975, when authorities dragged her family off to a political prison camp in Bukchang-gun. She was 13. Her family, previously members of the elite in North Korea’s capital of Pyongyang, did not know what they had done wrong.

WASHINGTON—Lawyers for former Obama-era White House counsel Greg Craig said Wednesday they expect prosecutors to charge him in a foreign lobbying scheme that special counsel Robert Mueller investigated. Craig came under scrutiny during the inquiry into former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort’s work for a pro-Russian political party in Ukraine. About three months ago, Craig’s former law firm agreed to pay more than $5 million and publicly acknowledge that it failed to report its work for the Ukrainian government.

WASHINGTON—Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Wednesday said he needed more time to review House Democrats’ request for President Donald Trump’s tax returns. House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal, D-Mass., had asked the IRS to turn over six years of the president’s tax returns by Wednesday. Neal also requested the returns from the president’s trust and seven business entities.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on Tuesday declared a public health emergency and ordered mandatory vaccinations in one neighborhood in response to a measles outbreak. The virus has infected 285 people in Brooklyn’s largely Orthodox Jewish Williamsburg section since September. Anyone working or going to school within four New York ZIP codes must get the measles vaccine, including all children older than 6 months. New York City’s health commissioner is empowered by law to order vaccines in the event of a serious public health threat.

WASHINGTON—Attorney General William Barr told congressional lawmakers Tuesday he expects to release a redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report to Congress and the public within a week. Barr appeared at a House Appropriations Committee hearing to testify about the White House’s 2020 budget request for the Department of Justice, but questions about Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. president election quickly took center stage.

WASHINGTON—U.S. Secret Service Director Randolph “Tex” Alles is leaving his position, the White House announced Monday. President Donald Trump selected career Secret Service official James Murray to replace Alles after he steps down in May. The president announced Sunday that Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen had resigned, but Alles’ departure may stem from a personality conflict in the agency, not the larger overhaul going on in the Department of Homeland Security leadership ranks.
