Donald Trump Jr. spoke to the Senate intelligence committee for nine hours Wednesday Nike M2K Tekno Phantom Women's Grey Silver , concluding his third interview on Capitol Hill as part of probes into Russian interference in the 2016 election.


The closed-door meeting staff came a week after he spoke to lawmakers on the House intelligence committee. The Senate Judiciary Committee interviewed him in September.


All three panels are investigating the meddling and whether President Donald Trump's campaign was involved. Investigators have been looking into a June 2016 meeting with a Russian lawyer that Trump Jr. and other campaign officials attended.


The top Democrat on the Senate intelligence panel, Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, has said he wants Trump Jr. to return for a public hearing.


On Tuesday, Trump Jr.'s attorney asked the House Intelligence Committee to investigate how portions of his client's testimony were leaked to media outlets while Trump Jr. was still being interviewed.

HARBIN, Dec. 20 (Xinhua) -- With farmers leaving land fallow during freezing temperatures and factories braced for an upcoming vacation, the northeastern city of Harbin is welcoming its "hottest" tourist season with ice and snow.


The annual Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival had a soft opening of world's largest ice and snow park earlier this week.


Covering an area of 800,000 square meters Nike Vandal 2K Women's Black Gold , the park used a record 180,000 cubic meters of ice and 150,000 cubic meters of snow this year. It was built in 20 days and is scheduled to officially open before Christmas.


The main activities of the 34th Harbin International Ice and Snow Festival will begin in January 2018. It is estimated to use one million cubic meters of ice and snow to make carvings and sculptures featuring Russian and other European styles, according to the municipal government.


A series of ice sculpture competitions will also be held to boost the development of ice and snow culture.


Ice and snow have become the name card of Harbin, which was known as "the oriental Moscow" for its Russian-style buildings such as St. Sohpia Cathedral. The festival brought in 40 million yuan (6.13 million U.S. dollars) in revenue during the seven-day Lunar New Year holiday in 2016.




Singapore's first prime minister, Lee Kuan Yew, who died on Monday aged 91 Nike Vandal 2K Women's Metallic Silver Red , was renowned for his sharp tongue, quick wit and controversial remarks. Here are a selection of his comments:


ON DEATH


"Even from my sick bed, even if you are going to lower me into the grave and I feel something is going wrong, I will get up."


ON GOVERNMENT


"I am often accused of interfering in the private lives of citizens. Yes, if I did not, had I not done that, we wouldn't be here today. And I say without the slightest remorse Nike Odyssey React Women's Gray Black , that we wouldn't be here, we would not have made economic progress, if we had not intervened on very personal matters – who your neighbour is, how you live, the noise you make, how you spit, or what language you use. We decide what is right. Never mind what the people think." (National Day Rally in 1986)


ON PRESS FREEDOM


"Go on the Internet Nike Odyssey React Habanero Women's Red White , you can publish your party's views, you can produce your party magazines, your party newspapers, nothing to prevent you from doing all that. But if you commit anything libellous, we'll sue you. Anything which is untrue and defamatory, we will take action.


"The foreign media used to say we are dull, sterile Nike Odyssey React Women's Casual Arctic Pink White , no fun, no buzz, now they are moving away from these descriptions. But we are not moving away from our base positions. We are not going to quail under their sustained attacks. If you quail, you're weak and a fool."


ON DEMOCRACY


"In new countries, democracy has worked and produced results only when there is an honest and effective government, which means a people smart enough to elect such a government. Remember, elected governments are only as good as people who choose them."


ON HOMOSEXUALITY:


Sex between two men is illegal in Singapore and punishable with up to two years in prison Nike Odyssey React Black Women's , though it is rarely enforced.


During an interview with CNN in 1998 he said:


"Well, it's not a matter which I can decide or any government can decide. It's a question of what a society considers acceptable. And as you know, Singaporeans are by and large a very conservative, orthodox society, a very, I would say, completely different from Nike Odyssey React Desert Sand Sail Pink Women's , say, the United States, and I don't think an aggressive gay rights movement would help. But what we are doing as a government is to leave people to live their own lives so long as they don't impinge on other people. I mean, we don't harass anybody."


Then in 2011 in his book Hard Truths, he said:


"No, it's not a lifestyle. You can read the books you want, all the articles. There's a genetic difference so it is not a matter of choice. They are born that way and that's that. So if two men or two women are that way Nike Epic React Flyknit Pure Platinum Black Blue Women's , just leave them alone."


ON GOLF


"I used to play golf, but found it did not give me vitality because it's a slothful game.


"Nine holes of golf will take you one-and-a-half, two hours. I run in 20 minutes, I feel better off. So the cost benefit made me drop golf."


ON CHEWING GUM


Singapore banned the sale of chewing gum in 1992, citing littering - sticking used gum on tables and chairs - as well as vandalism. Passengers reportedly started sticking chewing gum on the door sensors of commuter trains, disrupting services.


"If you can't think because you can't chew, try a banana."


ON SINGAPORE


"Singapore is my concern till the end of my life. Why should I not want Singapore to continue to succeed?


"I have no regrets. I have spent my life Nike Epic React Flyknit Blue Women's , so much of it, building up this country. There's nothing more that I need to do."
