Pompeo meets with South Korea's top diplomat after Bush's funeral

Dec. 6 (UPI) – U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met with his South Korean counterpart Kang Kyung-wha in Washington on Thursday to discuss bilateral efforts on North Korea.

Kang and the South Korean delegation were in the United States to pay their respects to former President George H.W. Bush at the U.S. Capitol. They attended the funeral on Wednesday.

The two diplomats are meeting for the first time since Oct. 7, when Pompeo visited Seoul following his fourth trip to North Korea.

The meeting began at 8:30 a.m. at the State Department. Sources told Yonhap the meeting covered cooperation on North Korea denuclearization, and other areas where the two countries need to coordinate policy.

Foreign ministry spokesman Noh Kyu-duk had said ahead of the meeting the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula and the establishment of the peace process are to be discussed to "maintain coordination," as confirmed by the "Nov. 30 summit meeting."

Talks come a day after South Korean railroad surveyors returned from inspecting train tracks in the North.

Kim Jong Un and President Moon Jae-in agreed to work to reconnect the railroads, including the Gyeongui Line that once extended north and south…..

Michael Avenatti, the attorney for adult film star Stormy Daniels and an anti-Trump activist, has been having a bad month.

On Wednesday, the 47-year-old lawyer reached a divorce settlement with his estranged wife that will require him to hand over thousands of dollars and other assets for liquidation, according to court filings.

The court filings in Orange County, Calif., as reported by TMZ, indicate a judge has ordered Avenatti to pay his wife Lisa Storie-Avenatti $162,295 per month in child and spousal support retroactive to Jan. 1, 2018. The combined total amounts to more than $1.9 million upfront.

In addition, the judge ordered Avenatti to fork over his assets for liquidation including five luxury wristwatches – some worth $50,000 – a Frank Gehry sculpture, several pricey works of art, and a 2017 Ferrari 488 GT Spider worth about $300,000, according to the report. The judge also mandated that Avenatti’s law firm, Avenatti & Associates, transfer its interest in a 2016 Honda private jet.

The couple married in May 2011 and separated last December, the New York Daily News reported….

Exclusive: U.S. probe of China's Huawei includes bank fraud accusations: sources

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Chinese telecoms giant Huawei Technologies Co Ltd’s chief financial officer was arrested as part of a U.S. investigation into an alleged scheme to use the global banking system to evade U.S. sanctions against Iran, according to sources familiar with the situation.

The United States has been looking into whether Huawei Technologies Ltd violated U.S. sanctions against Iran since at least 2016 and more recently the company’s use of HSBC Holdings Plc to make illegal transactions involving Iran.

In 2012, HSBC paid $1.92 billion and entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with the U.S. Attorney’s office in Brooklyn for violating U.S. sanctions and money-laundering laws.

An HSBC spokesperson declined to comment. Huawei also declined to comment. A spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s office in Brooklyn, which Reuters has reported is investigating Huawei, declined to comment.

HSBC is not under investigation, according to a person familiar with the matter.
