Trump May Reward Russia with Return of Seized Diplomatic Compounds

Donald Trump is moving toward returning two diplomatic compounds seized by the Obama administration as punishment for interference in the U.S. elections, the Washington Post reports:

President Barack Obama said Dec. 29 that the compounds were being “used by Russian personnel for intelligence-related purposes” and gave Russia 24 hours to vacate them. Separately, Obama expelled from the United States what he said were 35 Russian “intelligence operatives.”

Early last month, the Trump administration told the Russians that it would consider turning the properties back over to them if Moscow would lift its freeze, imposed in 2014 in retaliation for U.S. sanctions related to Ukraine, on construction of a new U.S. consulate on a certain parcel of land in St. Petersburg.

Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Tom Perez said on Thursday that it shows Trump’s allegiance to Putin over the U.S.

Rep. Adam Schiff asked, “Why reward them?”

Wendy Williams Gives Tearful Tribute to Manchester Victim Martyn Hett, Who Was Supposed to Be in Her Audience: WATCH

Gay Manchester bombing victim Martyn Hett was supposed to be in Wendy Williams’s audience this week. He had saved for two years to travel to the U.S. for the “trip of a lifetime,” part of which included sitting in Wendy’s studio audience.

Williams kept a chair empty in honor of Martyn and paid tribute to the young fan:

“He was really popular on Twitter, he had his own pop culture website, and he’s remembered as a man who loved life…with passion, courage, and laughter. I spoke to his best girlfriend over in London and told her that I was doing this and she was floored, like, ‘oh my gosh he would love this.’ So Martyn, in honor of you, we’re keeping that chair open and our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.”
