PROBLEM: The answer to that seemingly unimportant question is suddenly a key element of the deepening scandal surrounding the campaignâs contacts with Russia  following revelations that one member of the team  George Papadopoulos  communicated with Russians connected to the Kremlin. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has said several times that the answer is one  implying that the foreign policy council was an unimportant body and  Papadopoulos  was a minor player in the campaign.
 Papadopoulos  admitted to special counsel Robert Muellerâs investigative team that  he  had ongoing contacts with Kremlin intermediaries during the campaign. The White House quickly downplayed the significance of the revelation last week  claiming that  Papadopoulos  was barely involved with the campaign. The campaign was certainly aware of  his  connections to Russia because  Papadopoulos  suggested using them to set up a meeting between Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin at a March 2016 meeting of the foreign policy team with Trump present. But  Sanders  has emphasized that that was itâthat the campaignâs foreign policy team  a group of volunteer advisers headed by now-Attorney General Jeff Sessions  met only that one time.
âIâm telling you that  he  was a volunteer member of an advisory council that literally met one time â  Sanders  said during a press briefing on October 30.
But on Thursday  Page told the House Intelligence Committee that  he  spoke to Sessions at a dinner in Washington  DC  in June 2016 about an upcoming trip  he  was making to Russia. According to CNN  the dinner was a gathering of members of the foreign policy council. âA source familiar with the meeting told CNN that the encounter occurred at a dinner at the Capitol Hill Club  attended by members of the Trump national security team  including Sessions â the network reported. âNear the end of the dinner  Page approached Sessions to say hello and thanked the then-senator for the dinner  and Page also mentioned  he  was headed to Russia. Sessions didnât respond and moved on to the next person waiting to shake  his  hand  this source said.â

PROBLEM: The recent settlement capped a case that began with a descent into depression and paranoia in Janene Wallace's late twenties and eventually resulted in imprisonment  a nearly three-month stint in solitary confinement and finally  a death by hanging   family attorney David Inscho  said.
At the time of  her  suicide  the George W. Hill Correctional Facility was run by private prison operator Community Education Centers but the company was recently acquired by another prison operator called The GEO Group. Pablo Paez  a representative for The GEO group  declined to comment on the litigation but said that "GEO was in no way involved with the management of the facility at the time of these allegations."
Wallace then refused to bathe  made irrational statements  rubbed menstrual blood on a shower wall and accused the guards of trying to hurt her  according to emails between officials at the facility that were provided by  Inscho . She was placed in solitary confinement and a sign was put on her door that warned that she was "unstable" and instructed staffers to "use caution."
"What she needed was a mental health evaluation and mental health treatment. That never happened "  Inscho  said. "She was mentally ill. She needed help."
After more than 50 days in solitary  which included a guard telling her to "go ahead and choke yourself" following a threat from Wallace that  Inscho  said was made after a period of 85 hours of uninterrupted confinement  she hung herself from a vent with her bra.
David Byrne  warden of the Hill facility  did not immediately respond to a voicemail seeking comment about Wallace's death. But  according to a transcript of a deposition provided by  Inscho   he has admitted that something went wrong.

PROBLEM: In 2011   Jennifer Egan  won the Pulitzer Prize for  her  novel  A Visit From The Goon Squad. Years before that book came out   Egan  had begun researching the 1930s and '40s in New York City.  Her  new novel  Manhattan Beach  is the result of that research. It follows a father  his daughter and a gangster whose lives intersect in New York around World War II.
The daughter  Anna  becomes the first woman to work as a deep-sea diver at the Brooklyn Navy Yard  which presented a particular kind of challenge for  Egan : In reality  there were no women divers at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
In 2011  the novelist  Jennifer Egan  won the Pulitzer Prize for her book "A Visit From The Goon Squad." Years before it came out   Egan  began researching New York City in the 1930s and '40s. And that research wound up in her new novel  "Manhattan Beach." The book is about a father  his daughter and a gangster whose lives intersect in New York City around World War II.
"Manhattan Beach" was just long-listed for the National Book Award.  Egan  sat down to talk about it with my co-host Ari Shapiro.
 JENNIFER EGAN : She was extremely helpful to me in understanding the difficulty of being a female diver. I mean diving is a very physical undertaking  and so she was very articulate about the challenges of doing that as a woman and especially the prejudice that she encountered. Men did not want her there  and they made that very clear. There were certain exceptions. But she ultimately had a sad feeling about her diving career in that she felt that she would have liked to continue with it but that it was uncomfortable because she was a woman.
 EGAN : What I found was that every single time I tried to leap out of the present into the future  which was a technique I used a lot in a "Visit From The Goon Squad" - every time I did it in this book  it was worse than bad. It was actually annoying.
 EGAN : So I had to recognize that I was telling a story that could not live in a tricky structural form. It really required a total immersion in continuity.
SHAPIRO: It's kind of a relief to hear that  even Jennifer Egan  writes things that are terrible sometimes.
 EGAN : I would go so far as to say that I mostly write terrible things. I mean my first drafts are so appalling. I think there's no way I can possibly get there. With this book more than any other  I thought very seriously about abandoning it.
SHAPIRO:  Jennifer Egan 's new novel is called "Manhattan Beach." Thank you so much for talking with us about it.
