U.S. imposes sanctions for Khashoggi killing, Saudis seek death penaltyThe U.S. Treasury Department sanctions were the first concrete response by the Trump administration to Khashoggi's death in the Saudi consulate in Turkey in October. Among those sanctioned were Saud al-Qahtani, who has been removed from his position as a top aide to the powerful Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, as well as the Saudi Consul General Mohammad al-Otaibi and members of a 15-person team Turkey has identified as being involved. The measure was unusual for Washington, which rarely imposes sanctions on Saudi nationals.

Florida Judge Cites 2000 to Stress Import of Close Votes

Posted: 14 Nov 2018 06:50 PM PST

Florida Judge Cites 2000 to Stress Import of Close VotesDuring a five-hour hearing in Tallahassee on Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Mark Walker was urged by a lawyer for Democratic Senator Bill Nelson to count an estimated 5,000 affected ballots, while a lawyer for the Florida Secretary of State said the suit was filed too late and the law must be respected. Nelson aims to overcome a razor-thin vote deficit in the recount for his U.S. Senate race with Republican Governor Rick Scott, one of the most closely watched in the U.S. The margin forced an automatic recount, which triggered a spate of separate lawsuits in state courts further south. Walker, whose musings during the hearing touched on slavery, the Civil War, women's suffrage and the invasion of Iraq, ended the proceeding without ruling on Nelson's request for a court order requiring that the recount include all mail-in ballots rejected over signatures.
