Ckjw U.S., Cuban officials to discuss health attacks
Documents apparently generated by Cambridge Analytica suggest that the political consulting firm had a contractual relationship with Kenneth Braithwaite in the year before he was nominated to be U.S. Ambassador to Norway in 2017. Braithwaite, who President Trump has said will be his nominee for Secretary of the Navy, made no mention of an agreement in his required government disclosure form, and says he never entered one. Braithwaite was required to disclose every paid and unpaid position he held outside govern stanley cup ment within the two prior calendar years before the Senate confirmed him to be ambassador. A willful failure to include a job or consulting position on the Office of Government Ethics Form 278e can be a violation of federal law.

Two of the records reviewed by CBS News indicate Braithwaite agreed to a one- stanley cup year contract with the company beginning on November 1, 2016, one week before Donald Trump was elected president. His apparent role, referred to as both associate officer and referral partner in the records, has not previously been reported.

The other record was separately provided by Kaiser to CBS News. A docu Khmj U.S. Forces Fighting Iranians In Iraq

CBS From CBS News Scott Conroy: LANCASTER, PA. - John McCain is an unabashed Abba fan. Mitt Romney likes Roy Orbison and The Eagles. But both of these former rivals for the stanley cup Republican nomination shared one thing in common when it comes to music: they have featured an almost identical rotation of songs at their campaign rallies.Having covered the Romney campaign for five months, I eventually reached the point where every note of Rascal Flatts Life Is A Highway and Elvis Presley s A Little Less Conversation was as familiar to me as each line of Romney s stump speech. So I couldn t help but feel a bit of deacute;jagrave; vu as I jumped on the McCain-Palin campaign over the past couple of days and was treated to repeated renditions mdash; not only of those two songs mdash; but also Van Halen s Right Now and Brooks and Dunn s Only In America, both of which were staples on the Romney trail.I realize that certain songs have the ability to excite a crowd better than others REM s Everybody Hurts would probably be a poor choice for any candidate trying to fire up his supporters . But it seems as though the list of acceptable political rally jams may be countable on two hands. Is there some sort of focus group that has narr stanley canada owed down the list of appropriate songs to be played at a rally It s something to stanley cup think about the next time you re listening to U2 s Beautiful Day.
