PROBLEM: The company denies it did anything wrong  insisting it was acting legally at the time. The settlement did not require an admission of liability   Attorney General Lori Swanson  said.
"We're pleased with the settlement. We think the settlement will help solve a problem in Minnesota. It's been a problem that has been a long time in the making for many decades "  Swanson  said. "These chemicals  as I mentioned  were put into the ground. And we are very hopeful the settlement can help fix that."
The settlement was announced Tuesday after jury selection was halted as the trial was set to begin.  Swanson  said  she  believes it is the largest environmental case in state history.
 Swanson  said 3M will pay the state in one lump sum within the next 15 days. It will go into a fund dedicated to projects that will clean up and safeguard drinking water in the eastern suburbs of St. Paul. Details on how the money will be used are still being worked out  but it could go to help homeowners with contaminated wells  or help municipalities with sustainable drinking water and treatment plans.

PROBLEM: Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-S.C.)  said "we have not come to any final conclusions" about the Russia investigation on Oct. 4  but that they are still looking into the Mayflower meeting  former president Barack Obama's response to Russian hacking  the Intelligence Community Assessment and the drafting of the RNC's platform.

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-S.C.)  said "we have not come to any final conclusions" about the Russia investigation on Oct. 4  but that they are still looking into the Mayflower meeting  former president Barack Obama's response to Russian hacking  the Intelligence Community Assessment and the drafting of the RNC's platform.

âThere is consensus among members and staff that we trust the conclusions of the ICA â Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.)  the committeeâs chairman  said at Wednesday news conference  referring to the intelligence communityâs assessment that Russia was behind hackings of the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton campaign director John Podestaâs email account and had attempted to exploit public opinion by sowing false information  much of it through fake social media accounts.
âBut we donât close our consideration of it â  he  added.
 Burr  also said that âthe issue of collusion is still openâ and would not be resolved until the committeeâs work was done.  He  said that a deadline for the committee was the looming start of the 2018 primary season.
âWeâve got to make our facts  as it related to Russiaâs involvement in our election  before the primaries getting started in 2018 â  Burr  said.

 Burr  and Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-Va.)  the committeeâs vice chairman  said the committee has interviewed more than 100 people and reviewed more than 100 000 documents  many of them from the intelligence community  President Trumpâs inner circle and former members of the Obama administration. In some areas of the investigation   Burr  added  investigators had âexhausted every individualâ they could speak with in several areas of the probe â such as an April 2016 meeting at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington.
 Burr  said the committee had interviewed seven people about that meeting and that âthe testimony of all seven were consistent.â
 He  said the committee had also âinterviewed every personâ that was involved in drafting the Republican campaign platform  suggesting that investigators had found no evidence of nefarious activity by Trump campaign officials in fashioning that platform to support a âstrong ally in Ukraine  but also leave the door open for better relations with Russia.â
 Burr  also told reporters that the committee had âhit a wallâ in attempting to verify the details of a salacious dossier about Trumpâs alleged exploits in Russia  mostly because its author  former British spy Christopher Steele  had rebuffed the committeeâs efforts to speak with him about his sources and about who paid for the compilation of the report.
âI can compel you to come â  Burr  said  as a warning to any potential witnesses who might not want to comply with the committeeâs investigation. But  Burr  later said that  he  had no such leverage over Steele  a British citizen  and could only threaten that the committeeâs report âwonât be flatteringâ as it relates to  him  if  he  refuses to cooperate.
The committee has also scheduled an additional 25 interviews for this month   Burr  added. Google executives  who have also been invited to testify publicly before the committee on Nov. 1  are expected to be among those asked to attend the closed-door interviews that have been scheduled in October.

 Burr  added that the committee would not release the content of those ads  though  he  added that the committee would be âfineâ with any of the social media companies choosing to release the content of documents and other information they had turned over to the committee themselves.

PROBLEM: PYEONGCHANG  South Korea -- As she headed up the steepest  most grueling hill of her life in third place   Jessica Diggins  thought to  herself  just winning an Olympic medal was no longer good enough.  She  wanted more.  She  wanted gold.
 Diggins  dug deep  remembering all the years of training  she  had put in  and of all  her  teammates waiting for  her  at the finish line to bring home the United States' first medal ever in women's cross-country skiing - and then  she  let loose.
 Diggins  reached the peak of the hill in third place but sped past Norway's Maiken Caspersen Falla on the last big  winding downhill.  She  rounded the final corner and took dead aim at Sweden's Stina Nilsson on the final 100-meter homestretch.
The crowd in the grandstand was on its feet sensing history  and at that moment  Diggins  said  she  felt "unstoppable."
"Around that final corner I felt like I was uncoiling a spring and letting it go "  Diggins  said. "Giving it everything I had  digging as deep as I could and putting it all out there. When your team is counting on you  you don't give up ever."
 Diggins  certainly didn't give up.
 She  blew by Nilsson in a blur to capture gold in the team sprint  bringing the United States its first gold medal ever in cross-country skiing.
As she crossed the line she collapsed in exhaustion as teammate Kikkan Randall tackled her in the snow. Randall lay on top of a crying  Diggins  shaking her ski jacket in pure excitement and utter joy.
"That feeling of being able to cross the line and have Kikkan tackle me was the coolest thing ever "  Diggins  said.
 Diggins  and Randall ended that 42-year drought and surely gave a huge boost to all of the young cross-country skiers back home in the United States.
 Diggins'  father  Clay  said he had a feeling this was the day the drought would end.  Diggins  had three top-six finishes at the Olympics and Randall was skiing well  too. And  he  said the entire American women's cross-country team came out to practice on Tuesday morning with  Diggins  and Randall.
"There were only two of them skiing today  but the entire team came out to support them - practicing tags and everything  " Clay Diggins  said. "That to me is pretty cool. They wanted to be there for them  for the team. And I think Kikkan and Jess felt that (support) on the course."
 Diggins  screamed as  she  crossed the finish line  setting off a huge celebration for the red  white and blue.  Her  American teammates were jumping and hugging each other along the fence line that guarded the track.
"Our whole team had that belief we could win and everyone was there screaming  " Diggins  said of the final sprint. "I don't know if you have that many teams where everyone is out there on the fence yelling their faces off. I just think we had a lot of support behind of us."
