Show 14 | November 29, 2018 | MyWeberMedia.com QUIZ ANSWERS FROM PAGE 2 Tribune News Service Members of the migrant caravan sign up to hand themselves over to Grupo Beta, the humanitarian arm of Mexican Immigration, to return to their home countries on Nov. 26. 1. b. The Los Angeles Times reported that, according to The Guardian, Manafort met with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in the same month he joined the Trump campaign. Manafort denied the meeting with Assange, calling the story “deliberately libelous,” and WikiLeaks denied the meeting on Twitter. If it happened, the meeting could help Special Counsel Robert Mueller draw a connection between the Trump campaign and Russia. In July 2016, WikiLeaks released a stream of Democratic emails that U.S. officials said had been retrieved by Russian hackers. 2. c.

The assessment, issued by 13 federal agencies, presents a direct correlation between global warming and the uptick in forest fires this past year. 3. a. Trump called the migrants criminals and said they should be sent back to their home countries, according to Roll Call. The statement seems to contradict the deal his administration made. Trump further pressed the issue when, on Nov. 26, he tweeted “they are NOT coming into the U.S.A. We will close the Border permanently if need be.” Experts have said it is doubtful the U.S. has the manpower or funding to close and regulate the nearly 2000-mile-long border. 4. c.
