Question: Benjamin McDowell   30  pleaded guilty Monday to being a felon in possession of a weapon  according to reports by multiple news outlets.  He  also could be fined $250 000 when  he âs sentenced at a later date.
Authorities first began investigating  McDowell  in December 2016 when  he  threatened a Myrtle Beach synagogue on Facebook. Local officials were already keeping tabs on  him  because  he  made friends with white supremacists groups and got tattoos associated with racist groups while in prison on a felony burglary charge  according to the FBI.
 McDowell  then said  he  wanted a gun and told an undercover FBI agent who offered to get  him  one that  he  planned to attack somewhere in the name of white power and write on the building âin the spirit of Dylann Roof â according to court records. Roof was sentenced to death last year for a racist shooting that killed nine black worshippers at a Charleston  South Carolina  church.
âI seen what Dylann Roof did and in my heart I reckon I got a little bit of hatred â the undercover agent recalled  McDowell  saying.
 McDowell   who couldnât legally own a gun because of the burglary conviction  was arrested after the purchase. Agents said  McDowell  bought the gun â which had the firing pin shaved down so that it would not work â and ammunition for $109  which  he  had borrowed from  his  grandfather.

Answer: Benjamin McDowell


Question: Eric Hargan  is about to get a demotion  and  he  is just fine with that.
The acting secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services is more than thrilled to go back to the position  he  originally held. President Trump tapped him to lead the agency after Tom Price resigned when scrutiny of his travel habits revealed a taste for the excess.
Alex Azar is the president's new choice to run HHS.  Hargan  sat for this interview as Azar faced his first Senate confirmation hearing on Nov. 29.  Hargan  has held the position since early October  but this is certainly not  his  first rodeo at HHS. From 2003 to 2007   he  served here under then-President George W. Bush.
 Hargan  is a man grounded in  his  family's roots in Mound City  a small southern Illinois town just across the Ohio River from Kentucky where  his  parents not only advocated for a lifetime in public service but also led by example.
 He  said: "I grew up on a farm  my father held different local elected offices from county commissioner to school board  and my mother worked in a variety of healthcare roles throughout her life; first at St. Mary's hospital  which is no longer there  and then at the Cairo Community Health Clinic. All total  a career serving her community's healthcare that spanned 58 years."
 Hargan  faced reporters at the White House almost three weeks ago to discuss Trump's decision to donate his third-quarter salary to HHS in order to combat the opioid crisis.  Hargan  said the donation would be used for the planning and design of a large-scale public awareness campaign about opioid addiction.
" His  decision to donate  his  salary is a tribute to  his  compassion  to  his  patriotism and  his  sense of duty to the American people "  he  said.

Answer: Eric Hargan


Question: Sessions's participation in the gathering was detailed in court documents released Monday by special counsel Robert Mueller III. The adviser who offered to set up the meeting was  George Papadopoulos  who has pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI  according to the documents .
Sessions had not previously disclosed the meeting  despite being asked over multiple appearances on Capitol Hill whether  he  or anyone on the campaign ever discussed meeting with Russians.
Senate Republicans have not rushed to Sessions's defense but were less ruffled about his participation in the  Papadopoulos  meeting. "If anybody's got any concerns about his meeting  write him a letter and see what he says " said Sen. Lindsey Graham  R-S.C.
A Sessions spokeswoman declined to comment this week on the March 31 meeting with Trump and campaign advisers  including  Papadopoulos . But on Thursday  a person familiar with Sessions' recollections said that "people who remember the conversation" believed that  Papadopoulos  was proposing an idea of using  his  Russian contacts to try to set up a meeting between Trump and Putin  "which was immediately rejected by then-Senator Sessions."
" Papadopoulos  was some 29-year-old that nobody had ever heard of and who struck people in the room as someone who didn't have a lot of credibility " the person said. "As far as Sessions seemed to be concerned  when he shut down this idea of  Papadopoulos  engaging with Russia  that was the end of it and he moved the meeting along to other issues."
"The March 31 comments by this  Papadopoulos  person did not leave a lasting impression " the person said. "The attorney general immediately dismissed it and moved on."
J.D. Gordon  a former Pentagon spokesman and Trump adviser who attended the meeting  also recalled that Sessions "shut him down" when  Papadopoulos  announced that he could introduce Trump to Putin.
The Washington Post also reported earlier this week that  Papadopoulos  sat next to Sessions during a dinner at the Capitol Hill Club for campaign advisers weeks before the Republican National Convention  according to another person who attended.

Answer:
George Papadopoulos
