Barr says US potentially has 'very good evidence' Trump obstructed justice in classified documents case

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:52:58 GMT

(The Hill) – Former Attorney General Bill Barr said Sunday that investigators probing the potential mishandling of classified documents by former President Trump likely have "very good evidence" that Trump attempted to keep authorities from obtaining the materials after he left the White House.The case against Trump, Barr said, comes down to the matter of how long it took the government to get the materials back, which will play a significant role."He had no claim to those documents, especially the classified documents.  They belonged to the government.  And so, I think he was jerking the government around.  And they subpoenaed it.  And they tried to jawbone him into delivering documents," Barr said."But the government is investigating the extent to which games were played and there was obstruction in keeping documents from them.  And I think that's a serious potential case.  I think they probably have some very good eviden...

The California roll probably wasn't invented in California

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:52:58 GMT

The California roll is a staple at sushi restaurants around the U.S. No matter where you order it, you'll find pretty much the same three ingredients — cucumber, avocado and crab (sometimes imitation crab) — rolled up in seaweed and rice. The roll's provenance isn't as well known as its ingredients, but the most widely accepted origin story takes us pretty far from California — and more than 4,500 miles from Japan, for that matter. The California roll is widely reported to have originated in Vancouver, Canada. Hidekazu Tojo came to Vancouver in the early '70s and started working at one of the city's only sushi restaurants, reports Food52. At that time, the average diner liked tempura and teriyaki dishes, but wasn't really interested in raw fish, Tojo told the publication. Is the rain finally over for California?
