Louise Linton wife of Treasury Mnuchinjust apologized for a ‘highly insensitive’ Instagram post
Louise Linton, wife of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin, apologized Tuesday for boasting about her wealth and then disparaging someone who criticized her during a nasty social-media exchange in an attempt to quell a raft a criticism about her insult-laced attack.
“I apologize for my post on social media yesterday as well as my response,” she is quoted as saying, according to a statement issued by her publicist. “It was inappropriate and highly insensitive.”
Linton, an actress and producer, married Mnuchin two months ago in a lavish ceremony that was attended by President Trump and Vice President Pence. She often travels with Mnuchin on official business, which is not customary for the spouse of a Cabinet member, but Treasury Department officials have said the couple reimburse the government for the cost of her seat.

FBI’s Russia investigation, Mueller is on the Trump money trail
The web of financial ties could offer a more concrete path toward potential prosecution than the broader and murkier questions of collusion in the 2016 campaign, these sources said.
One year after the FBI opened an investigation, the probe is now managed by special counsel Robert Mueller. Sources described an investigation that has widened to focus on possible financial crimes, some unconnected to the 2016 elections, alongside the ongoing scrutiny of possible illegal coordination with Russian spy agencies and alleged attempts by President Donald Trump and others to obstruct the FBI investigation. Even investigative leads that have nothing to do with Russia but involve Trump associates are being referred to the special counsel to encourage subjects of the investigation to cooperate, according to two law enforcement sources…

US flies B-1B bombers over Korean peninsula after missile test
The US flew two supersonic B-1B bombers over the Korean peninsula in a show of force on Sunday, as the US ambassador to the UN warned that China, Japan and South Korea needed to do more after Pyongyang’s latest missile tests.
North Korea said it had conducted another successful test of an intercontinental ballistic missile on Friday that proved its ability to strike America’s mainland.
Nikki Haley, the US ambassador to the UN, said on Twitter on Saturday that the US was “done talking” about North Korea, which was “not only a US problem”.
“China is aware they must act,” Haley said, urging Japan and South Korea to increase pressure and calling for an international solution.

Justine Damond: Australian woman killed by US police in Minneapolis
Justine Damond, 40, from Sydney was shot by police in south Minneapolis on Saturday night.
Minneapolis mayor Betsy Hodges said the incident has made her “heartsick”.
Ms Damond died following an officer-involved shooting, according to Minneapolis police.
The shooting occurred on the 5100 block of Washburn Avenue South in the city’s Fulton neighbourhood.
The incident is the subject of an investigation but authorities have said the officers who responded to the 911 call did not have their body cameras turned on.
Two officers responded to a 911 call about a possible assault in the alley off of West 51st Street between Washburn and Xerxes avenues around 11.30pm, according to a statement released Sunday by the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
“At one point one officer fired their weapon, fatally striking a woman,” the BCA said.
The dead woman’s partner was Don Damond.
His son Zach Damond took to Facebook saying he “heard noise in the alley and called the police”.
“She was out on 51st Street and she was shot,” Zach said.
“Investigators are attempting to determine whether any video of the incident exists.”
Mr Damond said the woman, reportedly an Australian in her 40s, was “passionate” and his “best friend”.
“Basically my mum was shot for reasons I don’t know,” Mr Damond said in a video posted on Facebook on Monday morning (AEST).
“I just know she heard a sound in the alley so then she called the police and the cops showed up and she was a very passionate woman…

Playing in his 140th career final, Federer saved the only break point he faced and converted four of his eight opportunities to clinch his 92nd career title in 53 minutes. At 35, the Swiss player became the oldest winner of the grass court tournament.
“I played unbelievably well. I felt good and never let up,” Federer, who dropped just nine points on his serve, said.
“It was my best game this week. Nearly everything worked out for me.”
Federer, who skipped the claycourt season after winning the Miami Open in early April, claimed his fourth title of the year, matching Rafael Nadal’s tally, and he will be seeded ahead of his Spanish rival for Wimbledon, which starts in eight days…

Israel test proves missiles can be hidden on cargo ships
Earlier this week, Israel ‘s state-run Aerospace Industries (IAI) announced it had successfully tested a ‘Long-Range Artillery’ (LORA) missile system from a shipping container attached to a truck parked on the deck of a cargo ship.
It revives a concept exploited by Germany in World War I where commercial freighters were converted to conceal arrays of guns and mines. These innocent-looking vessels would then approach and seize Allied merchant shipping.

Trump son tweet connects shooting to NYC ‘Julius Caesar’ play – What about Gun Control for Idiots?
Donald Trump Jr., shortly after Rep. Steve Scalise, a Republican aide and security personnel were shot at a baseball practice in Virginia on Wednesday, took to Twitter to connect the shooting to the recent controversy over a rendition of “Julius Caesar” that features the assassination of a ruler that resembles Donald Trump.
Trump’s son retweeted political commentator Harlan Z. Hill, who opined, “Events like today are EXACTLY why we took issue with NY elites glorifying the assassination of our President.
“The Public Theater in New York City’s “Julius Caesar” has garnered droves of negative attention because the contemporary rendition of William Shakespeare’s classic features a Caesar — who with his blonde hair, suit and long tie — looks like Trump. The play also has Caesar’s wife, Calpurnia, speak in a Slavic accent very much like first lady Melania Trump.

Sessions Will Testify in Senate on Russian Meddling in Election – The New York Times
Attorney General Jeff Sessions told Congress on Saturday that he would testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday about issues related to Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.
Mr. Sessions had been scheduled to testify before other committees about the Justice Department’s budget that day, but he will instead appear before the intelligence panel.
Mr. Sessions said he would send Rod J. Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general, to testify about the department’s budget before the House and Senate appropriations panels. Mr. Sessions noted that several lawmakers on those panels had said they intended to ask him about the Russia investigation, after testimony by James B. Comey, who was fired last month as F.B.I. director by President Trump, before the intelligence committee on Thursday.
The attorney general may face sharper questioning from the intelligence committee, which has had access to intelligence materials in its inquiry into the Russian meddling.
