Trump Campaign Adviser pleading guilty of lying to the fbi with foreign officials close to the russian government. During that particular meeting in question here, papadopoulos offered to set up this meeting between then candidate trump and russian president Vladimir Putin but remember it was Jeff Sessions who nixed that idea. That contradicts what jeefgs sa Jeff Sessions said in earlier testimony. So you have the House Judiciary Committee demanding that the attorney general explain that discrepancy, saying one thing today, another today. But not before Jeff Sessions defended himself. Here he was. I have been asked to remember details from a year ago, such as who i saw on what day. And what meeting and who said what to when. And all of my testimony i can only do my best to answer your questions as i understand them and to the best of my memory. But ill not accept and reject accusations that i have ever lied. That is a lie. Let me be clear, i have at all times conducted myself honorably

1) Jan. 23: Council Nixes Low-Level Pot Busts In 2019, the Texas Legislature legalized hemp, defined as cannabis with a THC concentration of less than 0.3%. Because the test to determine that percentage is not widely available, many district and county attorneys subsequently decided not to prosecute low-level possession of marijuana cases. At the beginning of 2020, Council unanimously voted to end such arrests (which are already discretionary) in Austin; however, Austin Police Department Chief Brian Manley pushed back, saying possession is still illegal and APD will still enforce marijuana laws. Even so, though arrests are still possible, there s no longer a possibility of a court case or jail time.
