WASHINGTON (AP) — Special counsel Robert Mueller has closed his long and contentious Russia investigation with no new charges, ending the probe that has cast a dark shadow over Donald Trump's presidency but launching a fresh wave of political battles.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The district attorney in Pittsburgh says he disagrees with a jury's decision to acquit a white former police officer in the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager as he ran from a car involved in a drive-by shooting. But Stephen Zappala Jr. says it is the people of Pennsylvania who decide guilt in criminal cases, and "they have spoken." A jury Friday deliberated fewer than four hours before clearing ex-East Pittsburgh Officer Michael Rosfeld in the 2018 death of Antwon Rose II.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump tweeted that he had reversed his administration's decision to slap new sanctions on North Korea, but the move left officials at the Treasury Department and observers across Washington scratching their heads.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A government watchdog found the Federal Emergency Management Agency wrongly released to a contractor the personal information of 2.3 million survivors of hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria and the California wildfires in 2017. Homeland Security Department's Office of Inspector General found the breach occurred with a contractor that helps provide temporary housing to those affected by disasters. FEMA said it is correcting the problem and found no indication that data was compromised.
HOUSTON (AP) — A flight attendant just released from the custody of U.S. immigration authorities after more than a month of detention says her release feels "incredible." U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement says it released Selene Saavedra Roman on Friday evening from a Conroe, Texas, detention center. Her lawyer says Mesa Airlines had mistakenly reassured the enrollee in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program that she could work a flight to Mexico, but she was detained upon her return.
