BRIEFSCompiled from Gazette wire services

Law requiring tax returns struckLOS ANGELES—President Donald Trump does not

have to disclose his tax returns to appear as a candidate on

California’s primary ballot next spring, the state Supreme

Court ruled unanimously Thursday.

The law, the first of its kind in the nation and aimed

squarely at Trump, violates a specification of the state

constitution calling for an “inclusive open presidential

primary ballot,” the court said.

“Ultimately, it is the voters who must decide whether

the refusal of a ‘recognized candidate throughout the

nation or throughout California for the office of Presi-

dent of the United States’ to make such information avail-

able to the public will have consequences at the ballot

box,” Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye wrote in the 7-0

decision.

Trump has broken with tradition among presidential

candidates by refusing to disclose his financial informa-

tion.

A U.S. judge had temporarily blocked the state law in

response to a different lawsuit, and the high court ruled

quickly because the deadline to file tax returns to get on

the primary ballot is next week.

DOJ to act to resume executionsWASHINGTON—Attorney General William Barr

told The Associated Press on Thursday that he would

take the Trump administration’s bid to restart federal

executions after a 16-year hiatus to the Supreme Court

if necessary.

Barr’s comments came hours after a district court

judge temporarily blocked the administration’s plans

to start executions next month. The administration is

appealing the decision, and Barr said he would take the

case to the high court if Thursday’s ruling stands.

He said the five inmates set to be executed are a small

portion of 62 death row inmates.

“There are people who would say these kinds of delays

are not fair to the victims, so we can move forward with

our first group,” Barr said aboard a government plane to

Montana after he met with local and federal law enforce-

ment officials in Cleveland.

The attorney general unexpectedly announced in

July that the government would resume executions next

month, ending an informal moratorium on federal capital

punishment as the issue receded from the public domain.

Ex-mayor pleads guilty to chargesBALTIMORE—Former Baltimore Mayor Catherine

Pugh pleaded guilty to conspiracy and tax evasion charges

in federal court Thursday, publicly acknowledging wrong-

doing related to her “Healthy Holly” book deals for the

first time since The Baltimore Sun first began exposing

them in March.

The plea came one day after federal prosecutors

alleged in an 11-count indictment that Pugh’s self-pub-

lishing enterprise amounted to little more than a crimi-

nal racket. It comes eight months after the Sun’s revela-

tions and subsequent raids on Pugh’s homes and City Hall

by FBI and IRS agents torpedoed her political career and

forced her from office.

Her acceptance of guilt, though on a narrower set of

charges than her indictment laid out, could likely land

Pugh, 69, in prison. Her sentencing has been scheduled

for Feb. 27.

Standing before U.S. District Judge Deborah K. Chasa-

now in the downtown federal courthouse, Pugh, a Dem-

ocrat, spoke softly as she confirmed she understood the

sweeping allegations against her and the potential for her

to spend years behind bars.

She pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud,

conspiracy to defraud the United States and two counts

of tax evasion.

‘Ghost gun’ used in school shootingLOS ANGELES—The 16-year-old boy who fatally

shot two fellow students and wounded three others last

week at a Southern California high school used an unreg-

istered, untraceable “ghost gun,” Los Angeles County

Sheriff Alex Villanueva said Thursday.

Villanueva told media outlets that Nathaniel Berhow’s

.45 caliber, 1911-model replica semi-automatic pistol was

assembled from gun parts and did not have a serial num-

ber.

Such weapons are a growing problem for law enforce-

ment around the country because the parts are easy to

obtain and the guns take limited expertise to build. In

Southern California, federal authorities say one-third of

all the firearms seized are ghost guns.

California has among the strictest gun laws in the coun-

try, but they are based on traditional firearms that are

made by manufacturers and labeled so ownership can

be traced.

WASHINGTON

President Donald Trump insisted Thursday that the Navy “will NOT be taking away Warfighter and Navy Seal Eddie Galla-gher’s Trident Pin,” insert-ing himself into an ongo-ing legal review of the sail-or’s ability to hold onto the pin that designates him a SEAL.

The Navy on Wednes-day notified Chief Petty Officer Edward Gallagher that he will face a review early next month to deter-mine if he should remain on the elite force.

Gallagher was acquit-ted of a murder charge in the stabbing death of an Islamic State militant captive, but a military jury convicted him of pos-ing with the corpse while in Iraq in 2017. He was then demoted to chief.

His lawyers have accused the Navy of trying to remove the SEAL des-ignation in retaliation for Trump’s decision last week to restore Gallagher’s rank.

Rear Adm. Charlie Brown, a Navy spokes-man, responded Thursday: “The Navy follows the law-ful orders of the President.

We will do so in case of an order to stop the adminis-trative review of SOC Gal-lagher’s professional qual-ification. We are aware of the President’s tweet and we are awaiting further guidance.”

Trump tweeted Thurs-day, “This case was han-dled very badly from the beginning” and he urged those involved to “Get back to business!”

Gallagher filed a com-plaint with the inspector general accusing a rear admiral of insubordina-tion for defying Trump’s actions. Rear Adm. Collin Green is the Naval Special Warfare commander.

“How can Adm. Green credibly preach about pre-serving good order and discipline while publicly flouting the orders of the commander in chief ?” attorney Timothy Parla-tore said.

Two U.S. officials famil-iar with the case but not authorized to speak pub-licly said Wednesday that discussions about conven-ing a review board began after Gallagher’s convic-tion in July. They said the decision was not in reac-tion to Trump’s decision to restore Gallagher’s rank.
