White House obsession: Trump can't shake Cohen

Washington (CNN)

Even as he goes about his job, the claims levied by President Donald Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen have become a preoccupation for the commander in chief, who has angrily rebutted some of the allegations while casting his onetime fixer as a liar.

The President's aides and allies say he has raised Cohen constantly over the past week, inserting questions and complaints about him into briefings and meetings on otherwise unrelated matters.

Sources say Trump has become so consumed by Cohen and the fallout from his testimony that he brings him up minutes after national security briefings, during calls with lawmakers and while strategizing with aides about administration priorities.

Headline : Shattering defeat for May

Brexit에 대한 영국 정부의 합의안을 영국 하원이 또 부결시켰다. (For : 242, Against 391)

1차 투표때보다는 약간 더 많은 찬성표이지만 여전히 큰 표차이로 정부가 패배했다.

(1월 15일의 1차 투표는 For : 202, Against : 432)

이로서 영국의 Brexit는 또 다시 미궁으로 빠지게 되었다.

영국 하원은13일(현지시간) 아무 합의 없이 EU를 떠나는 No Deal Brexit에 대해 다시 표결을 하게 되고,. 이마저도 부결되면 연기에 대한 표결을 하게 된다.

존 버커우((John Bercow) 하원의장의 order~로 시작하는 표결 발표. (재미로 보는 order 모음)

the ayes to the right (찬성) 과 the noes to the left (반대)는 기묘하게도 eye(눈)과 nose(코)로 들린다.

What we're covering

• A catastrophic defeat: British Prime Minister Theresa May has suffered another shattering loss in parliament after lawmakers voted against her Brexit deal by 391 to 242.

• What happens now? Lawmakers have been promised another vote on Wednesday, in which they can decide whether the UK should crash out of the EU without a deal. If that, too, is rejected, parliament could then vote on whether to request a Brexit extension.

• When is Brexit happening? The United Kingdom is due to leave the European Union in 17 days -- on March 29.
