Ivanka Trump, Gov. Bevin visit Ky. Toyota plant

GEORGETOWN, Ky. (WKYT) – Ivanka Trump, daughter of and adviser to President Donald Trump, returned to central Kentucky to tour the Toyota plant in Georgetown Thursday morning.

The senior adviser remains vocal about workforce development efforts. She said she was motivated to visit the plan because of efforts to encourage companies to properly train workers.

Ivanka Trump toured the facility with Toyota leaders and Governor Matt Bevin.

The tour featured details about the company’s training program and allowed time for Trump and Bevin to meet with workers and students and take some pictures.

Toyota leaders signed the Pledge to America’s Workers during the tour, an initiative encouraging companies to properly train their workers and help them develop professionally.

Gov. Bevin and Trump took part in a panel discussion with Toyota executives and workforce development program leaders. The discussion focused on ensuring Kentucky workers have the skills for the jobs of today and tomorrow.

“We have 7.3 million vacant jobs, but we have 6.5 million unemployed Americans and many, many more on the sidelines,” said Trump. “So, there are people who need those jobs, and these training programs provide them the pathway to those jobs.”

As part of Toyota signing the Pledge to America’s Workers, the company pledged 200,000 opportunities for apprenticeships, re-skilling and other development and training.

This is Ivanka Trump’s second visit to Kentucky in the past five months. She toured workforce development programs in eastern Kentucky last fall. One of her stops was at Morehead State University.

The Latest: Barr Tells House Judiciary Chair He'll Testify

WASHINGTON (AP) — THE Latest on Congress and the special counsel's Russia report (all times local):

12:18 p.m.

Attorney General William Barr has told the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee that he would testify before his panel.

That's according to a Justice Department official familiar with a Wednesday call between Barr and Rep. Jerrold Nadler, the New York Democrat who runs the committee.

Democrats are anxious to hear from Barr about special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation report. They want to see the full report and the evidence that goes with it. Barr told Nadler on the call that the report is more than 300 pages.

Barr released a four-page summary of the report on Sunday and is expected to produce a public version of the document in the coming weeks.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is heaping scorn on Attorney General William Barr, saying his letter about special counsel Robert Mueller's report was "condescending."

Barr's four-page summary of the Russia probe said special counsel Robert Mueller found no evidence that President Donald Trump's campaign "conspired or coordinated" with the Russian government to influence the 2016 election.

Pelosi said she found Barr's decision to write the letter "arrogant." Congress, she said, doesn't need Barr "to be our interpreter of something that he should just show us."

The Democratic chairmen of six House committees have demanded that Barr release the Mueller report to Congress by Tuesday.

Trump calls for investigation into Mueller probe

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump on Wednesday accused former FBI officials and Democrats of treason for their role in the Russia investigation and vowed to “get to the bottom” of how the inquiry began. In a 45-minute interview on Fox News, Trump told host Sean Hannity that he planned to declassify and publish in full the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants the FBI used to get permission to begin surveillance on Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, which the FBI suspected was colluding with Russia to influence the election’s outcome. The FBI released redacted versions of the warrants in July 2018.

“This was an attempted takeover of our government … an illegal takeover,” the president said. He called for an investigation into the actions of FBI and CIA officials, including former FBI Director James Comey, former FBI agent Peter Strzok, FBI lawyer Lisa Page, and former CIA Director John Brennan. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said he will open an investigation into the how the Russia probe got started.

In an interview for a Washington Post report published late Tuesday, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., rejected the conclusion of the Mueller investigation as reported by Attorney General William Barr, who on Sunday said special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation found no evidence the Trump campaign colluded with Russia.

“Undoubtedly there is collusion,” Schiff said. “We will continue to investigate the counterintelligence issues. That is, is the president or people around him compromised in any way by a hostile foreign power?” Trump said Schiff should be ousted from office for his focus on the Russia allegations, adding, “You could say it’s a crime what he did—he was making statements he knew were false.”
