Disgraced general and former c. I. A. Director David Petreaus will not be demoted. Petraeus was forced to resign in 2012 after admitting to an affair with his biographer. But as Julianna Goldman reports, defense secretary Ashton Carter is letting the general keep his four stars and pull pension. Reporter in a threesentence all right sent to the leaders of the senate armed said an army review recommended no additional action and secretary carter considered this matter closed. The decision largely ends the saga surrounding the retired fourstar general who last year admitted to giving his biographer and lover, paula broadwell, several notebooks he knew contained highly classified information and initially lying about it to f. B. I. I can only say again how sorry i am to let to those i let down. Reporter as carter weighed whether to demote David Petreaus and reduce his military pension by 40,000 a year, a number of lawmakers in both parties came to his defense. In a letter earlier this month, senators john mccain and jack reed said petraeus apologized and shouldnt face additional punishment. The former c. I. A. Directors fate also comes up on the campaign trail. If theres an effort to take a star away from general petraeus, and i as a member of the senate can push back, i will push back. Absolutely. Patriot. He made a mistake. Candidates, like ted cruz and donald trump, have seized on petraeus case by comparing it to the controversy over Hillary Clintons use of a private email server and whether she knowingly sent or received classified information. Theyve destroyed him, and yet hillarys flying safe, and she did 100 times worse than what he did. Reporter there were other considerations for carter as he weighed the decision. Jim, by not punishing petraeus, it may now send a message to the militarys rank and file that the most decorated of soldiers are protected, knowing that lower ranking officers have faced harsher punishments for misconduct, including handling classified information.

In this case, clearly, by saying that they will not sanction the sale of guns without any kind of background check through private transactions on their soc media platforms theyre truly saying the precedent that we hope other businesses will follow as well.

But she left her husband behind in turkey, and the new bill also makes seeing him much harder. It blocks migrants from bringing immediate family members to denmark for at least three years. Michala bendixen, who helps migrants apply for asylum, says delaying a Family Reunion is just cruel. Make a law like this is so cynical and so evil, that its i dont really i dont know how you can do things like that.

It sounds very tough, but the alternative is we simply dont have enough empty beds. We dont have enough space. Reporter the government says making migrant help pay for their stay is only fair. Danish citizens on welfare also have to give up their cash to qualify. But bendixen said its not about the money.
