Question: 2018 Winter Olympics: Mike Pence tweets '#FAKENEWS' on report about skater Adam Rippon
At about the same time as Pence took to Twitter  a White House official was explaining to reporters traveling with the vice president to South Korea that  Pence 's team did contact the U.S. Olympic Committee. But the vice president's office was offering— not requesting — a meeting with Rippon and wanted to give the skater as much space as possible. The official declined to be identified.
Columnist Christine Brennan reported on Wednesday that  Pence  had become so concerned about criticism he faced from Rippon  an openly gay athlete  that his staff reached out to the USOC to set up a conversation between the two.
Headed to the Olympics to cheer on #TeamUSA. One reporter trying to distort 18 yr old nonstory to sow seeds of division. We won’t let that happen! #FAKENEWS. Our athletes are the best in the world and we are for ALL of them! #TEAMUSA — Vice President Mike Pence (@VP) February 8  2018
.@Adaripp I want you to know we are FOR YOU. Don’t let fake news distract you. I am proud of you and ALL OF OUR GREAT athletes and my only hope for you and all of #TeamUSA is to bring home the gold. Go get ‘em! — Vice President Mike Pence (@VP) February 8  2018
“ You mean Mike Pence  the same Mike Pence that funded gay conversion therapy ? I’m not buying  it  ” Rippon responded.
Around the same time that  Pence  sent out his two tweets over the reports about his spat with Rippon  a White House official confirmed that the vice president's chief of staff Nick Ayers called U.S. Olympic Committee CEO Scott Blackmun after Rippon had initially criticized  Pence  last month.
Rippon’s criticism of  Pence  was over language on a campaign website that some LGBT activists say shows that as a congressman the vice president had supported gay conversion therapy.
Ayers told Blackmun that the criticism of  Pence  was untrue and that he never supported gay conversion therapy  the White House official told reporters. When the issue surfaced during the 2016 presidential campaign   Pence 's then press secretary  Marc Lotter  also denied that  Pence  supported the policy.
Ayers offered to have someone from the vice president's team explain to Rippon the confusion over  Pence 's stance. Ayers also said that  Pence  would meet with Rippon or speak with him over the phone if he preferred  the White House official said.

Answer: Mike Pence


Question: SEOUL (Reuters) - Kim Jong Un on Monday warned the United States he has a ânuclear buttonâ on his desk ready for use if North Korea is threatened  but offered an olive branch to South Korea  saying he was âopen to dialogueâ with Seoul.
After a year dominated by fiery rhetoric and escalating tensions over North Koreaâs nuclear weapons program   Kim  used  his  televised New Yearâs Day speech to declare North Korea âa peace-loving and responsible nuclear powerâ and call for lower military tensions and improved ties with the South.
âWhen it comes to North-South relations  we should lower the military tensions on the Korean Peninsula to create a peaceful environment â  Kim  said. âBoth the North and the South should make efforts.â
 Kim  said  he  would consider sending a delegation to the Winter Olympics Games to be held in Pyeongchang  South Korea  in February.
âNorth Koreaâs participation in the Winter Games will be a good opportunity to showcase the national pride and we wish the Games will be a success. Officials from the two Koreas may urgently meet to discuss the possibility â  Kim  said.
South Korea said it welcomed  Kimâs  offer to send a delegation to the Pyeongchang Games and hold talks with the South to discuss possible participation.
U.S.-based experts saw  Kim âs speech as a clear attempt to divide South Korea from its main ally  the United States  which has led an international campaign to pressure North Korea to give up weapons programs aimed at developing nuclear missiles capable of hitting the United States.
Asked by reporters to comment on  Kim âs speech  U.S. President Donald Trump simply said  âweâll see  weâll seeâ  as  he  walked into New Yearâs Eve celebration at Mar-a-Lago   his  elite resort in Florida.
Revere said  Kim Jong Un âs speech contained the strongest defense of North Koreaâs status as a permanently nuclear-armed country he had seen.

â Implicit in Kim Jong Unâs speech  is a willingness to engage with others  including the United States  on the basis of their acceptance of the ârealityâ of North Koreaâs permanent nuclear status. Thatâs not a basis on which the United States is prepared to engage â  he  said.
Rather than encouraging U.S. measures that âthreaten the security and peace of the Korean peninsula â Seoul should instead respond to overtures from the North  and âstop nuclear war exercises with foreign forces â  Kim  said.
After North Korea tested its most powerful intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in November  which it said was capable of delivering a warhead to anywhere in the United States   Kim  declared  his  nuclear force complete.
 He  continued that theme in  his  New Yearâs address  announcing that North Korea would focus in the coming year on âmass producing nuclear warheads and ballistic missiles for operational deploymentâ.
This   Kim  said  was âirreversible with any forceâ  making it impossible for the United States to start a war against North Korea.
âThe whole territory of the U.S. is within the range of our nuclear strike and a nuclear button is always on the desk of my office and this is just a reality  not a threat â  he  said  while emphasizing that the weapons would only be used if North Korea is threatened.

Answer: Kim Jong Un


Question: Education Secretary Betsy DeVos  convened a special committee to rewrite the policy in June  saying the regulations are "overly burdensome and confusing" and need to be streamlined.
"It is the Department's aim  and this Administration's commitment  to protect students from predatory practices while also providing clear  fair and balanced rules for colleges and universities to follow "  DeVos  said in a statement at the time.
In June  NPR reported that attorneys general from 18 states and Washington  D.C.  filed suit against  DeVos  and  her  department  accusing  DeVos  of breaking federal law and giving free rein to for-profit colleges by rescinding the borrower defense rule.
The rule had been put on hold less than one month after  DeVos  said  her  agency would re-evaluate it.
The potential rules will be discussed next week at a three-day meeting starting Monday of the special committee assembled by  DeVos   according to Education Department spokesman Alberto Betancourt. It is the second round of negotiations to establish new guidelines.

Answer:
Betsy DeVos
