space of officials seeking out official time. what activities federal employees undertake instead of the job they are hired to do. i applaud the subcommittee's inquiry into the use of official time. i would welcome any questions. thank you. >> thank you so much, mr. gilson you are recognized for five minutes. if you will hit the red button there. >> thank you for the opportunity to address the subcommittee. i am a retired federal employee. i worked in this area for over 40 years. as an agency representative advisor advocate or negotiator, i regularly write for the website devoted to federal issues. i currently train, advise, and bargain on behalf of federal agencies as a contractor. a service reform act was passed in 1978 and i was service commissioner at that time. it is labor relations provisions were touted by its sponsors as an encoding of president nixon and president ford's executive orders. it was to establish basic employee rights under a law continuing as it did before. the law has turned into a pandora's box of unintend

i'm on 100% official time. in fact, as a supervisor, i wouldn't expect them to be around if they were on is00%. -- 100%. i wouldn't ask them to do any work on behalf of the taxpayer if they are 100%. do you see how that accountability may not be the same as someone who was only there part time? >> all i know is the statutes still requires supervisor approval even if somebody is working 100% on official time. >> in your 40 years of experience, have you ever seen anybody who did not get supervisor approval? >> i don't know the answer to that question. >> so you've not seen anybody ever -- and you have studied this, and you have never seen anybody not get supervisory approval in 40 years? that's your sworn testimony here today? >> i don't know the answer to that question. >> either you know or you don't. so you have not seen anybody? >> i can't answer that question. >> mr. gilson, have you seen anybody ever? >> over and over and over again. >> okay. >> in your experience, have you seen that the accountability some

official time. meaning that they were not caring for the veterans. and in the case of the internal revenue service, 185 employees spent 100% of their time performing repsentatnal work on behalf of the union, which me thathey are not serving the american taxpayer. i ask that the committee staff report benserted into the record. without objection, so ordered. while not performs the work, an employee was hired to do is bad enough. there are other aspects of time that can impact the mission. official time allows unions to file grievances and appeals and bring the work of the government to a halt. by way of example, we've heard from a federal employee who told us that after repeated requests, an employee come to work on time, this employee complained that the official was harassing the employee and filed a grievance. the employee's agency allowed the employee to push back her start time by 15 minutes. to me, as a private business guy, this sounds absurd. the grievances filed while on official time can al

they may have told the chief technology officials or a local election official. we had problems with things being classified far above what they should be classified. so they could not tell that to the authorities. >> at cnet and it is well put. it must be incredibly frustrating when you're trying to do your job and we discuss -- discussed already the audit process and paper ballots and how important the money is. mr. masterson, in a recent article you read about the will -- the work that of election officials are doing. do you believe that they can benefit from the sharing that we talked about? this is not the immediate information about the threats that we need to have happen. but also, best practices. >> absolutely, yes. >> very good. i went through all of him because they -- them because they are part of securing our elections. and we are hoping to get this through. i know that senator langford is working hard on that. think you all. >> thank you senator klobuchar. let me go back to where i was. in this secure election act which is a work in product -- progre

they hadn't told chief election officials. they might have told a local election official. we've had problems with things being classified far and above what they should be classified. so they couldn't tell that to election authorities and we couldn't respond. >> very good. well, no, i've seen that and that's well put. and it must be incredibly frustrating when you're trying to do your job and we discussed already the post election audit process. we talked about paper ballots and how important this money is. and mr. masterson, in a recent article you wrote about some of the great work election officials are doing around the country. do you believe that state and local election officials can benefit from this sharing that we talked about. this is not just the immediate information about the threat that we need to have happen but also best practices. >> absolutely. yes. >> i went trhrough all of those because that's the elements of the secure election act. very tricky, huh. and so we're just hoping that we can get this through. and i know the senator is working very hard to d

did i mention it is a cabinet official calling who is requesting this meeting officially? whatever you think of chick-fil-a, whatever you think of everything else you have heard about scott pruitt on the basis of this reporting alone, how is it possible that he is still in office? between the company's statement acknowledging that this is what he was asking for and the e-mails that are now published showing that he was having epa staff ask for this on his behalf, this seems like very blunt textbook evidence of overt criminal behavior on behalf of the administrator. on the behalf of this member of the cabinet. what's the defense here? i was kidding? setting aside the issue of whether or not scott pruitt will ever b prosecuted for this, how is it possible that congress has not lit up like a fireworks show over this blatant abuse of office? the obvious answer, of course, is that congress is republican controlled and so when it comes to behavior like this by trump administration officials they just don't want to know. even so, it does seem like scott pruitt might even be pushi

it was the heist raighest ranki official to viscid until secretary pompeo did. sitting official. former presidents, jimmy carter, bill clinton, to bring back american hostages, but this is -- through the oval window, right? >> yes. and we can't make out whether that's actually president trump sitting in that chair there, but we do know that -- president donald trump right now is meeting with kim yong-chol, highest ranking north korean official to visit this country since vice marshal in -- we can tell you secretary of state pompeo is in the oval office as as well. andrea, you raised the question of john bolton, whether he is in there. kelly o'donnell, you were nodding during this conversation, i hear? >> reporter: we were advised john bolton would be participating. his absence is worth noting and andrea added the appropriate context and an intans chief of staff john kelly, supposed to be head of the structure here felt it appropriate he do this. if we turn the tables a bit and flash forward to say the summit happens, and if it is in local time based on being in singapore. in the

shortly after issuing an official license to convert the money, an official wrote in an e-mail, quote, i think we earned the right to never discuss this matterr again. i disagree. i think we have to talk about this, and to talk about how before, during, and after thetre state department officials testified in front of congress that iran would not have access to this financial system, they worked behind the scenes to allow exactly that. we have to talk about this to be sure it doesn't happen again. following the issuance of the specific license, ofac contacted the two u.s. banks reqsting them to -- asking to convert the money to dollars. iran was making both public and elaims. they were not getting the net of the deal they expected and asserting the deal could fall apart you all may remember that time period when there were threats by iran to pull out of the deal. we discovered an e-mail where a state department official even suggested that the secretary of state or the secretary of treasury should contact these u.s.ms a enurage them to facilitate this conversion. by the way, we have n

with state and local officials. dhs has formed several working groups and task force developing plans for election infrastructure security. working not only with state and local election officials, but also the private sector to help generate best practices and solutions. the department has continued to work to strengthen partnerships with state and local election officials. nevertheless, elections are controlled by states. that means these partnerships are completely voluntary. that puts the onus upon states to seek help from and cooperate with our federal government. if they don't, of course, it is impossible for the department to step in. other responses from government include president trump's decision to levy sanctions against russian organizations and individuals that participated in election interference. year, treasurys department targeted five entities and 19 individuals. including the internet research agency and the individuals associated with it. in april, the administration imposed additional sanctions

official, pays a bribe to an afghan official to get the contract to build a highway, etc. that is one way you get it. the big issue has to be with fuel. fuel is like liquid gold. we were involved in a contract investigation where we identified -- instead of paying $700 million for this fuel, it actually cost closer to $1 billion. that was increasing the price so they shared the proceeds. we turned that over to the afghan president, they canceled the contract, he fired all the people involved, and a set of a new procurement system. the other way people make money is they are no-shows. we pay and we have been harping on this. we pay the salaries for the police, teachers, they don't exist. some commanding officer makes them up and they don't exist. he just collects the salaries. we have been harping on this with the u.s. military, department of defense. we just issued an audit with the world bank because we give money to the world bank to pay salaries and we said you're not doing the right job. there are many ways. the ways of theft and bribery and corruption e only limited b

officials now focused on radio, film and celebrities who enlisted in the war effort. african-american performers such as duke ellington and libby armstrong -- and louis armstrong frequently played at war related functions, and rising star lena horne begin to rival betty grable as a pinup among servicemen. yet by 1942, no african-american was more loved among white and black americans as heavyweight champion joe louis. his triumph in 1938, coupled with his patriotic announcement rendered him a potent symbol. administrators affirmed his political import as the brown bomber stood for heroism unity, and a part of the armed forces, black military participation. in september of 1943, lewis headed a boxing tour along with nicholson, sugar ray robinson and george j. wilson under the army special service division to tour army camps in the u.s. and abroad. the boxing tour also serve the purpose of both in a team and athletic training. it could diminish racism by exposing truth to that promote good sportsmanship and teamwork. influences 46 months of army, he fought 96 exhibition

officials with questions and some worries. we know president trump has been eager to be free whiling in discussions with kim jong-un. he wanted flexibility. he suggested he will go in and go off his gut. his instincts. clearly there will not been any u.s. officials in that room to steer him. >> the president's touch and feel. a lot on the line. jeremy, thank you. >>> it is a fascinating juxtaposition. the president trying to make peace with a long-time enemy. at the same time, chaos simultaneously driving a wedge with america's longest and closest allies. the president attacked members of the g7 on twitter over massive surpluses. the president refusing to sign the g7 communique once he heard prime minister justin trudeau say this. >> i have made it very clear to the president that it is not something we relish doing. it is something we absolutely will do because canadians, we're polite and reasonable, but we will not be pushed around. >> talking about canada retall yating. -- retaliating. president trump calling those comments

high officials for the first time in decades our meeting with top officials and our government. we are covering it all coming forward. it will come back to you outside the white house as well. i want to bring in my first guest, republican congressman joe wilkinson. he sits on the armed services committee. and mr. wilson is one of the few members of congress who have been to north korea. great to have your perspective today. i just want to let you know we are going to keep up the life picture, congressman. and we could be breaking news together. first of all, what do you think of the letter? >> well, i think it is very significant because we are waiting on the delivery of the letter today. it was only a year ago that north korea threatened a delivery of a nuclear weapon to vaporize the people of guam. the american citizens represented out there. you imagine how far we have come? >> harris: you know, also, you talk about the difference a year can make. the difference a week in may. we have another letter to talk about here. and all of the conversations that have gone on, and what

so, there has been no official reaction from the white house, at least not yet.ut the president has been tweeting on the president has been tweeting on the topic of trade throughout the day, slamming what he calls on fair trade and stupid trade, saying that he wants to see a rebalancing of trade with some of these key allies that he has imposed tariffs on in the past few days. that could set him upforan the past few days. that could set him up for an awkward meeting this weekend. he is going to quebec, where he will meet with other g7 leaders, and i think it is highly likely the issue of trade will come up. i guess all of this suggests that these countries want to talk first, before getting entangled in serious trade wars? they are definitely looking for some sort of concession from the us, or even a reserve “— concession from the us, or even a reserve —— even a reversal of the ta riffs reserve —— even a reversal of the tariffs imposed this week. the us, for its part, says the imposition of ta riffs for its part, says the imposition of tariffs is not preclude neg

official or an afghan official to build a highway etc. so that's one way that you get it. big issues have to do with fuel. we were involved with a contract investigation where we identified that there were price fixings. they paid $700 million the cost closer to a billion. that was increasing the price so then they shared proceeds. we turned out over to the afghan presidenhey canceled the contract and fired all the people involved and set up a new procurement system. the other way people make money as they are no-shows. we pay the salaries for the police come for the military, the teachers. they don't exist. a commanding officer made them up and says i have a thousand soldiers were teachers and they don't exist. they just collect a salary. so we have been harping on this with the u.s. military and the department of defense. we issued an audit deali with the bank because we gave money to them to pay salaries and we said you are not doing the right job. you don't have the general controls. so there's many ways. the ways of theft and bribery and corruption are only limited by

look at these numbers. 105 was the official high in concord. austin and vallejo, 100 in brentwood. 80 in san francisco earlier today, and 99 the official high in santa rosa. numbers right now haven't moved too far from where they were just a few hours ago. 93 that current temperature in san rafael. even san francisco and oakland still warm out there. we still have that heat advisory in effect for the next couple of hours. because heat illness is possible under these conditions. tomorrow, though, we're still tracking high fire danger. >>> now, the heat helped fuel a grass fire earlier today in san francisco. abc 7 news was in bernal heights. there was another fire in the same area yesterday. a resident says he owes his neighbor a big thank you for grabbing a hose and trying to douse the flames. >> started in my backyard 10 or 12 feet, if not for my neighbor greg, it would have damaged my house. he was out there with the smoke and heat wet things down. >> no homes were damaged and no calls were made in the investigation. >>> much of the region is

also sometimes i think that election officials beat ourselves up because of low turnout. i think there are several things that complain to that. one of those is when you don't have competitive races. if people believe that the race is a foregone conclusion, they tend not to go vote. certainly we haven't had a competitive race in quite some time. the last one was with bob corker. this year we'll have a good turnout. we have a competitive governor race going on. that drives turnout. also if people are generally happy with how things are going, that could be another reason people don't go through the process. unfortunately negative feeling many times will drive action. if people don't have negative feelings, it doesn't drive them to the polls. leslie? >> so nass has a site called vot voterregistration.org. a lot of organizations do the same thing. you know, we certainly have no desire to compete with vip or -- but we link directly to the secretary sites or the state election director sites, so it's not content we're creating ourselves. but are there a lot out there? is there

just above fifty percent so far but we don't have an official confirmed result yet do we. know we don't and that is what is frustrating to people here has been no official results and so they're complaining the president was giving his victory speech before the official results is in in fact when the president's speech was put up on screen behind me it was booed off so nobody here would have heard of the more conciliatory words that president. in his speech they want an official announcements the there are many votes yet to be counted again by those who police supremely actually gore that's how it goes get counted at one place and counted again by the supreme electoral board who clearly president is confident enough that he has done what's necessary to achieve first president victory in the presidential elections and therefore he felt happy to go give a speech but that is what isolates noise opposition voices the opposition here particularly when the president has gone and done this before there's an official announcement by bana just describe to us the concerns we've had

is a very whistle stop trip this one for president putin they were signing some deals or rather officials were signing some deals namely to do with and the g. and the fifty year and a g. contract that they've had going and they've signed up until twenty forty to keep delivering russian energy to austria plenty other discuss besides we'll have more from our correspondent a little bit later you're watching r.t. international. not. that sort of see i played golf. with the for. the us. radially reinforced rammed earth bricks is what they really are. this more than seventy houses about a hundred and forty people with families living here. it's really a way of forming same in. the sun's coming in and heating the house and being stored in massive walls. sagebrush is the natural. vironment here but as we are containing the sewage and then using the plant sort of to process the sewage we create our own little releases here. and water a full hour of news from the welcome back with outrage continuing to grow over israel's use of lethal force against protesters in gaza the u.s. remains on wavering in

in without an official warrant, duterte said that you were putting him in a corner.he got even more angry after you made some public comments about his decision to impose martial law right across mindanao, because you said in some places martial law is applicable, but in other places i don't think he should be doing it. again, in the united states, in western europe, chiefjustices of the supreme court would not be making these very high—profile, public, political comments. in the face of very strong pronouncements, where the president himself seems to be leading us towards a system where basically he thought that he could disregard the constitutional guarantees of due process, to ourjudges, and even our citizens, i am forced — i am forced — to remind everyone of the constitution. remember, stephen, the fight for our democracy is an ongoing one. it's not as if we have a very stable system. the democracy in my country must be guarded at all times. well, talking of democracy, let us not forget mr duterte won a thumping majority at the polls in 2016. you were an appointe

we have expelled russians from this country, russian officials from the country, obviously not once but twice. the president has taken swift action from assad and syria and the president made clear when he sat down with putin last year, that if there are issues the two countries can work on together, he's willing to entertain working together on those issues. you saw him in singapore. i know the media don't want to cover historic summit two weeks anymore, the success of the summit. a president who again and again is willing to go where other presidents refused to go and make good on the promise of peace, in this case denuclearization of the korean peninsula and many issues that perhaps the united s and russia can tackle together. steve: all right, one of the wins from the president came court.day from the supreme we will talk about how the travel ban was upheld. on the wednesday morning, kellyanne, there were a number of big congressional races and statewide races, 7 different states, one of the big one, powerful democrats in congress, mr. crowely, someone thought would be the next spea

for now we have what looks like a pretty clear victory we're waiting for the council to call it officially but when you have gustavo petro saying that he will make a concession speech in less than two hours you can pretty much guarantee we know what's going to happen you know that the writing is on the wall perhaps that's interesting what you say about this other petro coming than any other leftist challenger in the country before him and then he will remain a senator. to make life difficult for decay i mean potentially he could but i think the majority will be with you k. but i think it's very important for us to know that in this country a leftist candidate has never come this far especially with the agenda we had. billed to younger voters it was about tackling inequality reducing carbon emissions taking on climate change fighting for gay rights so among young voters in cuba certainly we spent a lot of the day yesterday with young voters who really wanted to see petro win but the early polls the official polls that closed a few days ago always had duke a with a fairly commanding lead so

finally, top fbi officials, including mr. mccabe and mrmr. mr. prestapp, through their wives, had affiliations to clinton affiliated entities and simply should have been recused from the investigation. public inconfidence and impartiality of our law enforcement system is critical to ensure all are treated equally under the law. fallout from the clinton investigation, however, gives the impression those with money and influence are given lighter treatment than the so-called common person. short-term damage to the fbi and doj's reputations is apparent. however, the ig and congress' investigations will help to understand why certain deficiencies occurred during one of the most high-profile investigations in this nation's history. this hearing is a crucial step toward repairing law enforcement's reputation as an impartial fact-finder and seeker of truth, and i look forward to the inspector general's testimony today. >> gentleman from virginia yields back. the gentleman from new york is recognized. >> thank you, mr. chairman, and thank you, inspector

secretary of state north korea's foreign minister and other key officials on both sides followed then by a working lunch and then what we've seen in the last few minutes which was both men leaving the working lunch interestingly you saw trump and kim walking together talking together it seemed with no interpreter we've always speculated that perhaps kim speaks a bit of english obviously enough to make small talk with the u.s. president they walked past the photographers they were asked a few questions it was only trump who answered because i think the questions were in english and that's where he made the comment about better progress than anyone could have expected then they walked back around to the hotel and we got some shots of them chatting there for some time and that's where we thought having already signed or not it's clear they haven't the signing is still to come and then we thought that perhaps was kim was leaving because we saw trump walk him to a car what we know though that was and it shows how the two met a bonding it was trump showing kim because perhaps he doest the i
