September: At 9:40 p.m., September 11, members of Ansar al-Sharia attacked the American diplomatic compound in Benghazi resulting in the deaths of U.S. Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens and U.S. Foreign Service Information Management Officer Sean Smith.[6][7] Stevens was the first U.S. ambassador killed in the line of duty since 1979.[8]
At around 4:00 a.m. on September 12, the group launched a mortar attack against a CIA annex approximately one-mile (1.6 km) away, killing CIA contractors Tyrone S. Woods and Glen Doherty[7][9][10] and wounding ten others. At the behest of the CIA, top U.S. officials initially described the attacks as the results of a spontaneous protest triggered by the recently released anti-Muslim video, Innocence of Muslims.[11] Subsequent investigations showed that the attack was premeditated – although rioters and looters not originally part of the group may have joined in after the attacks began.
There were demonstrations in Benghazi[139] and Tripoli[140] on September 12, condemning the violence and holding signs such as "Chris Stevens was a friend to all Libyans", "Benghazi is against terrorism", and other signs apologizing to Americans for the actions in their name and in the name of Muslims.

November 24: Trump distances himself from black murder stats
"Bill, I didn't tweet, I retweeted somebody that was supposedly an expert," the Republican presidential candidate told host Bill O'Reilly on his Fox News show.
"Am I going to check every statistic? I get millions and millions of people @realdonaldtrump," Trump said. "All it was is a retweet. It wasn't from me."
The celebrity real estate tycoon, who has nearly 5 million Twitter followers, took heat for sharing the "USA crime statistics" graphic that included an image of a black man pointing a gun.

March 9: Philippine President Duterte Mimics Trump's Racism and Sexism in Defensive Insults at the U.N. ... Duterte attacked human rights officials this week.
When it comes to disturbing rhetoric, Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte is no stranger to the practice of stunning his viewers with a diverse range of obscenities. Be it misogynist invectives, promising cash prizes for killing rebels or boasting about committing murder, Duterte is notorious for openly uncouth proclamations. Keeping his record of indelicacy alive, Duterte recently attacked human rights officials, including reportedly mocking the race of a black prosecutor at the International Criminal Court.
On Wednesday, Duterte made flippant remarks about international human rights agencies seeking to investigate the rising death toll that has reportedly occurred in his drug war. "Human rights, human rights, son of a bitch, human rights," Duterte said in front of a crowd. According to Human Rights Watch, at least 12,000 people have been killed in the Philippine president's brutal drug war since June 2016. The official government under Duterte denies this.
Unsettling as his comments may be, Duterte enjoys unwavering support and praise from the leader of the world's most powerful country, Donald Trump.

December 18: A sprawling mansion on the Upper East Side has been frozen as part of a hard-core battle between the US government and Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska ....
US officials say Deripaska, an aluminum billionaire, is close both with Russian mob leaders and Russian President Vladimir Putin — and that he is on the sanctions list because he is allegedly involved in murder, money-laundering, bribery and racketeering.
Deripaska also had President Trump’s ex-campaign manager Paul Manafort — who has been convicted of crimes including money-laundering and who is cooperating with US special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe — on his payroll for years.

December 19: President Trump's comments on Green Beret charged with murder rile legal experts
One expert believes the president's tweet pressures lower-level Army commanders to make decisions on the still-pending case that would be to his liking
President Donald Trump’s announcement on Twitter over the weekend that he will be "reviewing" the case of a former Army Green Beret charged with murder has caused worry in national security and military circles — since it is the kind of thing a president is not supposed to do.
On Thursday, Maj. Mathew Golsteyn, was charged with premeditated murder in the 2010 killing of an alleged Afghan bomb maker.
According to all sides involved, Golsteyn first admitted to the killing during a CIA job interview in 2011, which triggered an investigation by the Army Criminal Investigation Command, or CID.
Golsteyn was not initially charged with a crime because of a lack of physical evidence, but he was issued a formal reprimand and stripped of his Silver Star, the military's third-highest award for valor, and his Special Forces patch.
Now that the probe has been rekindled in a military court, Golsteyn faces a maximum penalty of death.

January 9: As he made his case for a border wall in a prime-time national address, President Donald Trump pointed to the gruesome beheading of a 76-year-old Clayton County grandfather.
But it was unclear Wednesday if the southern barrier that Trump is pushing for would have kept the man accused in the killing, Christian Ponce-Martinez, out of the country.
Clayton County police told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Ponce-Martinez, 25, entered the U.S. at a checkpoint along the San Diego-Tijuana border in 2015, seeking asylum — not through an illegal crossing that would have been prevented by a wall.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement records show the government may have been trying to deport him at the time of the November killing, police said. ICE had designated him “inadmissible,” citing a federal law prohibiting immigrants who lack proper documents, a police official told the AJC.

March 15: Trump’s Methylene Chloride Rule Leaves Workers Exposed To Deadly Chemical
EPA abandons proposed ban on commercial uses of paint-stripping chemical linked to dozens of workers’ deaths
n January 2017, EPA acknowledged those risks and proposed a ban on commercial and consumer uses of methylene chloride paint strippers. Since then, at least four people — including two workers — have died from methylene chloride exposure. However, despite repeated promises to finalize that proposal, the Trump administration reversed course and excluded workers from its final methylene chloride rule.
The methylene chloride lawsuit filed by LCLAA, represented by Earthjustice, and the Natural Resources Defense Council is currently pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
