If President Donald Trump invokes a "national emergency" at the US border and uses emergency powers to bypass Congress and obtain funding to build his long-promised border wall, a battle in the courts over the questionable legality of spending those dollars would be virtually guaranteed.But the United States is no stranger to national emergencies.In fact, the US has been in a perpetual state of declared national emergency for four decades, and the country is currently under 31 concurrent states of emergency about a spectrum of international issues around the globe, according to a CNN review of documents from the Congressional Research Service and the Federal Register.The federal government is well into its third week of a partial shutdown over funding for the President's wall along the border with Mexico. The White House and Democrats in Congress are locked at an impasse: Trump is demanding .6 billion, while House Democrats have vowed not to give him a dollar."I may declare a national emergency dependent on what's going to happen over the next few days," Trump told reporters on Sunday morning, floating using the National Emergencies Act of 1974 to activate special power during a crisis.House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union" that Trump doesn't have the authority to do so. "If Harry Truman couldn't nationalize the steel industry during wartime, this President doesn't have the power to declare an emergency and build a multibillion-dollar wall on the border. So, that's a nonstarter."But acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney defended the possibility: "I'm actually heavily involved with it and have been working with all of the Cabinet secretaries to try and find money that we can legally use to defend the southern border," he said on the same program. "Presidents have authority to defend the nation."Not all national emergency declarations are so controversial. Trump has already issued three national emergency declarations during his tenure, most prominently a national emergency meant to punish foreign actors who interfere in American elections, though the move garnered bipartisan criticism for not going far enough. He's also invoked emergency powers to slap sanctions on human rights abusers around the globe and on members of the Nicaraguan government amid corruption and violent protests there.Here's a full list of the 31 active national emergencies under the National Emergencies Act, dating back to the Carter administration:1.

Former Pro Bowl running back Clinton Portis and other retired NFL players have been charged by a federal grand jury with defrauding the NFL's retiree health care benefits plan for more than million, according to two indictments unsealed Thursday."Ten former NFL players allegedly committed a brazen, multi-million dollar fraud on a health care plan meant to help their former teammates and other retired players pay legitimate, out-of-pocket medical expenses," Assistant Attorney General Brian Benczkowski said in a statement.The former NFL players allegedly submitted fraudulent health care claims seeking to be reimbursed for expensive medical equipment that was never purchased, typically about ,000 to ,000 per claim, court records show.The equipment included hyperbaric oxygen chambers, ultrasound machines designed for a doctor's office to conduct women's health examinations, and electromagnetic therapy devices made for horses, prosecutors said.In addition, some defendants personally profited by receiving reimbursements from the plan or by recruiting other retired players to participate in the scheme in exchange for kickbacks and bribes, the indictments say. The claims relied on fabricated invoices, prescriptions and letters of medical necessity, prosecutors said.The scheme, which lasted from June 2017 to December 2018, led to over .9 million in false and fraudulent claims, of which the plan paid out more than .4 million, prosecutors said in a news release.CNN is reaching out to the NFL and the named players for comment. The NFL and the NFL Players' Association were aware of the charges before Thursday's news conference, Benczkowski said.Cigna alerted feds to potential fraud, prosecutor saysHealth insurance company Cigna flagged anomalies in the types of claims being filed and referred the fraud to federal investigators, Benczkowski said Thursday during a news conference.Four former players were arrested and six agreed to turn themselves in, he said.The defendants include:Portis, the former Washington Redskins and Denver Broncos running back;Robert McCune, a former linebacker with the Redskins;John Eubanks, a former cornerback with the Redskins;Tamarick Vanover, a former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver;Ceandris "C.C." Brown, a former Houston Texans safety;James Butler, a former New York Giants and St. Louis Rams safety;Fredrick Bennett, a former Houston Texans defensive back;Etric Pruitt, a former defensive back for the Atlanta Falcons and Seattle Seahawks;Carlos Rogers, a former Redskins and San Francisco 49ers cornerback;and Correll Buckhalter, a former Philadelphia Eagles running back.In addition, the government plans to file criminal informations charging Joseph Horn, the former New Orleans Saints wide receiver, and Donald "Reche" Caldwell, the former San Diego Chargers and New England Patriots wide receiver, according to the news release.More than 20 FBI field offices across the country participated in the investigation, from Miami to New Jersey to Los Angeles, prosecutors said.The health care benefits plan was established as part of the 2006 collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and the NFL Players' Association. 3205

Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has decided against running for president in 2020, he announced on Tuesday."As I've thought about a possible presidential campaign, the choice before me has become clear. Should I devote the next two years to talking about my ideas and record, knowing that I might never win the Democratic nomination? Or should I spend the next two years doubling down on the work that I am already leading and funding, and that I know can produce real and beneficial results for the country, right now? I've come to realize that I'm less interested in talking than doing," he wrote in an opinion piece for Bloomberg."And I have concluded that, for now, the best way for me to help our country is by rolling up my sleeves and continuing to get work done."Bloomberg publicly speculated about a 2020 bid for months, traveling the country to meet with voters and determine whether a bid was possible.Bloomberg told reporters during this public speculation that he was seriously considering a bid, to the point that he decided he would self-fund a campaign."In terms of running for office, I ran three times. I used only my own money, so I didn't have to ask anybody what they wanted in return for a contribution," he told CNN in January. "The public liked that every time they elected me. And, if I ran again, I would do the same thing."Bloomberg's wealth could have been considered a knock against the former New York Mayor, however, given that Democrats like Sen. Elizabeth Warren have demanded that candidates swear off super PACs and self funding.A number of Democratic operatives believed that a Bloomberg campaign would be doomed by the mayor's positions on policing, ties to Wall Street and the fact that he spent much of his time in politics as a Republican and independent. But Bloomberg also would have brought considerable strengths to a campaign, including his work on climate change and guns and the fact that he has spent millions on Democratic causes for years.Bloomberg leaned into his moderate persona in the opinion piece, urging Democrats to nominate someone who could beat Trump, not someone from the far left of the party."It's essential that we nominate a Democrat who will be in the strongest position to defeat Donald Trump and bring our country back together," Bloomberg wrote. "We cannot allow the primary process to drag the party to an extreme that would diminish our chances in the general election and translate into 'Four More Years.' "After leaving the mayor's office in 2012, Bloomberg continued to be an influential and recognizable figure on the national and international political stage in part because of his leadership on climate change and gun safety. He elevated his profile even further last year as he toured the country to speak with voters and local leaders.At many stops, he blasted Trump over his immigration, environmental and economic policies. Not only did Bloomberg devote considerable time to his anti-Trump agenda, but the billionaire flexed his financial muscle to see it through. He spent more than 0 million in an effort to wrest control of the Congress from the Republicans.The success of that effort coupled with positive feedback from voters around the country emboldened Bloomberg and his team of advisers, according to a person familiar with the effort.But still, Bloomberg kept his team and the country guessing about whether he would jump into the presidential race, with a steady stream of news stories feeding speculation. Adding to that, Bloomberg made an overtly political stop in New Hampshire in January, taking questions at popular campaign stops throughout the state.In announcing that he isn't running for president on Tuesday, Bloomberg said he would instead be launching a new campaign called "Beyond Carbon," which he described as a "grassroots effort to begin moving America as quickly as possible away from oil and gas and toward a 100 percent clean energy economy.""At the heart of Beyond Carbon is the conviction that, as the science has made clear, every year matters," he wrote. "The idea of a Green New Deal — first suggested by the columnist Tom Friedman more than a decade ago — stands no chance of passage in the Senate over the next two years. But Mother Nature does not wait on our political calendar, and neither can we."What Bloomberg does with his money beyond his series of outside organizations will be a key question for Democrats in 2020, given that his considerable wealth could tip the balance for a number of candidates in a crowded field. 4572
