SAN DIEGO (AP) — An appeals court on Wednesday upheld a freeze on Pentagon money to build a border wall with Mexico, casting doubt on President Donald Trump's ability to make good on a signature campaign promise before the 2020 election.A divided three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco agreed with a lower court ruling that prevented the government from tapping Defense Department counterdrug money to build high-priority sections of wall in Arizona and New Mexico.The decision is a setback for Trump's ambitious plans. He ended a 35-day government shutdown in February after Congress gave him far less than he wanted. He then declared a national emergency that the White House said would free billions of dollars from the Pentagon.The case may still be considered, but the administration cannot build during the legal challenge.A freeze imposed by U.S. District Judge Haywood Gilliam Jr. of Oakland in May prevented work on two Pentagon-funded wall contracts — one spanning 46 miles (74 kilometers) in New Mexico and another covering 5 miles (8 kilometers) in Yuma, Arizona.While the order applied only to those first-in-line projects, Gilliam made clear that he felt the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups were likely to prevail at trial in their argument that the president was ignoring Congress' wishes by diverting Defense Department money."Congress's 'absolute' control over federal expenditures — even when that control may frustrate the desires of the Executive Branch regarding initiatives it views as important — is not a bug in our constitutional system. It is a feature of that system, and an essential one," the judge wrote.Gilliam went a step further Friday by ruling definitively that the administration couldn't use Pentagon counterdrug money for the two projects covered in his May order or to replace 63 miles (101 kilometers) in the Border Patrol's Tucson, Arizona, sector and 15 miles (24 kilometers) in its El Centro, California, sector.Trump immediately vowed to appeal.At stake is billions of dollars that would allow Trump to make progress on a major 2016 campaign promise heading into his race for a second term.Trump declared a national emergency after losing a fight with the Democratic-led House that led to the 35-day shutdown. Congress agreed to spend nearly .4 billion on barriers in Texas' Rio Grande Valley, the busiest corridor for illegal crossings, which was well below the .7 billion the president requested.Trump grudgingly accepted the money but declared the emergency to siphon money from other government accounts, finding up to .1 billion for wall construction. The money includes .6 billion from military construction funds, .5 billion from Defense Department counterdrug activities and 0 million from the Treasury Department's asset forfeiture fund.Acting Defense Secretary Mark Esper has yet to approve transferring the military construction funds. The Treasury Department funds have so far survived legal challenges.The president's adversaries say the emergency declaration was an illegal attempt to ignore Congress. The ACLU sued on behalf of the Sierra Club and the Southern Border Communities Coalition.The administration said the U.S. needed emergency protection to fight drug smuggling. Its arguments did not mention illegal immigration or unprecedented numbers of Central American families seeking asylum at the U.S. border, which have dominated public attention in recent months.Justice Department attorneys argued that the freeze on Pentagon funds showed a "fundamental misunderstanding of the federal appropriations process.""The real separation-of-powers concern is the district court's intrusion into the budgeting process," they wrote.The two sides argued before a three-judge panel in San Francisco on June 20, made up of Barack Obama appointee Michelle Friedland and George W. Bush appointees N. Randy Smith and Richard Clifton.The administration has awarded .8 billion in contracts for barriers covering 247 miles (390 kilometers), with all but 17 miles (27 kilometers) of that to replace existing barriers not expand coverage. It is preparing for a flurry of construction that the president is already celebrating at campaign-style rallies.Trump inherited barriers spanning 654 miles (1,046 kilometers), or about one-third of the border with Mexico. Of the miles covered under Trump-awarded contracts, more than half is with Pentagon money.The Army Corps of Engineers recently announced several large Pentagon-funded contacts.SLSCO Ltd. of Galveston, Texas, won a 9 million award to replace the New Mexico barrier. Southwest Valley Constructors of Albuquerque, New Mexico, won a 6 million award for the work in Tucson. Barnard Construction Co. of Bozeman, Montana, won a 1.8 million contract to replace barrier in Yuma and El Centro. 4877

SAN DIEGO (AP) — A judge delayed the court-martial of a Navy SEAL accused of murder on Wednesday while lawyers resolve questions over whether the government's monitoring of emails compromised his right to a fair trial.Lawyers defending Special Operations Chief Edward Gallagher want the judge in the case removed because he was aware prosecutors planted tracking software in emails sent to the defense team and a journalist in an effort to find the source of news leaks."What we believed is that the judge authorized prosecutors to spy on the defense team," attorney Tim Parlatore said after the hearing. "Now looking at things it appears that prosecutors may have lied to the judge and that he didn't authorize it and he didn't know what they were really doing."Gallagher, who was dressed in Navy whites at the hearing, was scheduled to face trial May 28 on charges he killed a wounded Islamic State prisoner under his care in 2017. He is also charged with shooting two civilians in Iraq and opening fire on crowds.Now that date is uncertain as the defense tries to learn more about the email tracking and whether it violated the attorney-client privilege and protections against illegal searches.Parlatore said leak investigation documents he was provided show the effort was done without a search warrant or proper authorization.Parlatore asked who else knew about the email tracking and Judge Capt. Aaron Rugh told the prosecution to provide a list of "anybody that put their hands on this."Dozens of Republican congressmen have championed Gallagher's cause, claiming he's an innocent war hero being unfairly prosecuted. President Donald Trump got him moved from the brig to better confinement in a military hospital with access to his lawyers and family.Gallagher has pleaded not guilty to all counts. His lawyers said he did not murder anyone and disgruntled SEALs made the accusations because they wanted to get rid of a demanding platoon leader.Gallagher's supervisor, Lt. Jacob Portier, is fighting charges of conduct unbecoming an officer for allegedly conducting Gallagher's re-enlistment ceremony next to the corpse.Parlatore said the leak investigation targeted the defense team and civilian lawyers in the case, including Portier's civilian attorney, Jeremiah J. Sullivan III and attorney Brian Ferguson, who represents SEAL witnesses in the case.Parlatore said the leak investigation had also gone so far as to conduct extensive background checks on the defense that turned up a speeding ticket Parlatore got in 2003 and the military records of all the veterans involved, including Carl Prine, a Marine Corps veteran who as the Navy Times editor and reporter has broken several stories in the case.The reports indicate they found no illegal activity by the lawyers or Prine, Parlatore said.The tracking software embedded in an unusual logo of an American flag with a bald eagle perched on the scales of justice beneath the signature of lead prosecutor Cmdr. Christopher Czaplak was discovered two weeks ago by defense lawyers. Two days later, the prosecutor acknowledged the scheme in a closed-door hearing, but refused to provide details.Rugh said the monitoring ended May 10. He asked for a letter from senior Navy officials to clarify if anyone is still under investigation for the leaks, including prosecutors.The discovery has led to criticism that the prosecution trampled on press freedoms and violated the defendants' rights to a fair trial.Capt. David Wilson, chief of staff for the Navy's Defense Service Offices, wrote a scathing memo this week saying the lack of transparency has led to mistrust by defense lawyers in whether attorney-client communications are secure on the Navy-Marine Corps Intranet. An Air Force lawyer representing Portier had his computer and phone seized for review."The Air Force is treating this malware as a cyber-intrusion on their network," Wilson said in the letter obtained by The Associated Press.He said most of the leaks have benefited the prosecution's narrative and the likely leakers were on the government side of the case or in the Naval Criminal Investigative Service."It really looks like a lot of gamesmanship to affect the outcome of the case," Parlatore told the judge.___Melley reported from Los Angeles. 4283

Sam Nunberg's interview tour is over for now.Nunberg was booked to appear on CNN's "New Day" on Tuesday morning, but he did not show up for the interview.When an unknown person answered the phone at his home Tuesday morning, the person said Nunberg is done doing interviews.According to two sources with knowledge of the matter, ABC also pursued Nunberg for Tuesday's "Good Morning America." But the producers feared that he would bail, and sure enough, he stopped responding to messages on Tuesday morning. "He went dark," one of the sources said. Nunberg's change in media strategy appears related to the change of heart that unfolded before a national audience during his media tour on Monday.The former Donald Trump campaign aide gave more than a dozen interviews on Monday in an extraordinary act of defiance of special counsel Robert Mueller.Related: Who is Sam Nunberg?He started out by flaunting Mueller's subpoena and saying "let him arrest me." At one point, he even handed the subpoena paper to MSNBC anchor Ari Melber. He seemed to revel in the show he was starring in."Jake, I'm definitely the first person to ever do this, right?" he asked CNN's Jake Tapper.Interviewer after interviewer emphasized that Nunberg could be facing serious legal jeopardy. They asked if he wanted to reconsider his position; asked if he'd consulted his lawyer; and asked about his family.Nunberg asked questions too -- almost as if he was seeking legal advice. In the 7 p.m. hour on Monday, he asked CNN's Erin Burnett, "Do you think Robert Mueller is going to send me to prison, Erin, for this?" She answered, "I don't know, but he certainly would be within his rights."Some of Nunberg's associates said they were worried about his state of mind. Burnett said at the end of the interview that she smelled alcohol on his breath. But he denied that he had been drinking.Paparazzi-style photographers were waiting for Nunberg outside CNN's New York bureau. He spoke with one of the camera crews and then continued talking with reporters by phone. But his tone changed. By the end of the day, Nunberg signaled that he will continue cooperating with Mueller, after all.The special counsel office had no comment.Nunberg's last interview of the day appeared to be with Olivia Nuzzi of New York magazine. He told her around midnight that "I'm gonna cooperate!"Regarding his TV tour, he said to Nuzzi, "Did I sound drunk? I think that I was just more of myself in these interviews than I've ever been. That's what I think it was."He took another call, then called Nuzzi back at 12:55 a.m., said he was happy that "I didn't get dumped by my lawyer today."On Tuesday morning, Nunberg did not answer calls to his cell phone. Callers were greeted by a message that said, "The voice mail belonging to Sam Nunberg is full."The-CNN-Wire? & ? 2018 Cable News Network, Inc., a Time Warner Company. All rights reserved. 2906

SAN DIEGO -- Chris Fonseca is beginning the new year with a search for a new place to rent."It's a little scary," he says. Hard to blame him for feeling that way. Fonseca says he lucked out and found a unit in an aging building in Hillcrest for just 0 a month. That building is now up for redevelopment, meaning he and his neighbors have to find a new home, in a county where the average rent is north of ,900 a month. "A couple other friends have been looking for places this year and the prices are much, much higher than anticipated," Fonseca says.Higher rents weren't the only headwinds facing San Diegans in 2018. The record summer heat played a part - leading to some electric bills at 0 or higher. More than 100 thousand San Diego households hit the new state-mandated high usage charge, which San Diego Gas and Electric says added about to the typical bill. Earlier in December, SDG&E formally asked the state Public Utilities Commission to remove that charge. A spokeswoman for the CPUC did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Also in 2018, a city audit found that nearly 3,000 families were incorrectly charged for water, largely due to human error. The department is now undergoing major reforms, which should make billing more accurate - and help residents with questions or disputes get through to customer service faster. In addition to the rising rents, the median price for a home rose 4.6 percent over the year to 5,000, CoreLogic reports. 1497
