WASHINGTON—A federal judge on Tuesday agreed to delay the sentencing of former national security adviser Michael Flynn to allow him to cooperate further with the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Flynn pleaded guilty a year ago to making false statements to the FBI about his dealings with then–Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak before President Donald Trump took office.
WASHINGTON—The White House signaled on Tuesday it might be willing to compromise on border wall funding to avoid partially shutting down the government Friday at midnight. President Donald Trump previously demanded $5 billion in the federal budget for the wall, his signature campaign promise. Democrats offered only $1.3 billion or at most $1.6 billion for border security. Republicans in Congress proposed stopgap budget bills but largely indicated it was up to the president to cut a deal with Democrats.
WASHINGTON—Russia’s social media campaign to sow discord and disinformation in U.S. politics is still an ongoing and far-reaching threat, two reports released Monday by the Senate Intelligence Committee concluded. The Senate commissioned two third-party research groups, Oxford University/Graphika and New Knowledge, to study Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election using data provided by the social media companies.
