should have explored whether there was something there.' A

spoke on condition of anonymity — said Iran freed Zakka as 
a signal it wanted to cool tensions that have fueled fears of a

Iranian officials declined to discuss whether it was an 
overture, or what concessions Tehran wants from 
Washington." 
-- The Pentagon's transition plan underscores an 
upheaval in leadership. Missy Ryan reports: "Mark Esper, 
who became acting defense secretary on June 24 after his 
predecessor, then-acting defense secretary Patrick 
Shanahan, abruptly stepped aside, is expected to hand over 
to a third acting secretary, Navy Secretary Richard V. 
Spencer, when the White House formally submits Esper's 
nomination to the Senate for confirmation. Under a federal 
law known as the Vacancies Act, Esper, who has been 
serving as Army secretary since 2017, is required to step 
aside while the Senate considers his nomination for the top 
Pentagon job. When he will do so is not clear, as the 
requirement will be activated only when the White House 
officially transmits his nomination to the Senate. Pentagon 
chief of staff • 
Chewning, speaking to reporters at the 
Pentagon, said the White House was expected to convey 
Esper's nomination `shortly.-

Kathryn Watson reports: "That figure does not represent the 
full cost of the event to taxpayers, but it does include the 
cost of flying hours and transportation for tanks and fighting 
vehicle platforms. Funding for the demonstrations, a 
Pentagon spokesman says, came from the services' training 
budgets for flying hours, and additional funds were used for 
the transportation of equipment. The Pentagon noted it's 
spent comparable amounts, if not more, on other events. 
The Pentagon noted that San Francisco Fleet Week cost 
$1.8 million in 2017, and Los Angeles Fleet Week cost $1.6 
million."

NEVER FORGET JAMAL KHASHOGGI: 
-- After journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed at the 
Saudi Consulate in Istanbul, a number of lobbying 
firms and think tanks in Washington began making a 
rare move: They publicly severed ties with Saudi 
Arabia. Months later, however, the country's efforts to 
continue influencing U.S. policy remain strong. Beth 
Reinhard, Jonathan O'Connell and Tom Hamburger report: 
"Since fall 2018, high-powered lobbyists and lawyers have 
reaped millions of dollars for assisting the kingdom as it 
works to develop nuclear power, buy American-made

coalition waging war in Yemen, foreign lobbying records 
show. One Washington-based communications firm —
whose parent company initially expressed concern when 
Khashoggi disappeared — recently reported collecting 
nearly $19 million for what it says was several years of work 
for the Saudi government. A New York-based public 
relations firm run by a former Clinton administration 
appointee signed on in February to represent a Saudi 
interest for as much as $120,000 a month, filings show. The 
firms representing the kingdom operate under wide political 
cover provided by Trump. ... 
"Saudi Arabia is one of the highest-spending countries 
seeking to influence U.S. policy, ranking ninth in an 
analysis by the Center for Responsive Politics that 
reviewed the flow of foreign money from 2017 to the 
present. Roughly 20 firms are registered to lobby for Saudi 
interests, compared with more than 25 before Khashoggi's 
death, foreign lobbying filings show. ... At least five firms did 
end up cutting business ties with Saudi interests in the fall: 
Glover Park Group, BGR Group, Harbour Group, CGCN 
Group and Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher, filings show. Among 
the lobbying firms still representing Saudi interests are 
Hogan Lovells, which has been paid $1.6 million since fall; 
and McKeon Group, led by Howard `Buck' McKeon, a former 
Republican chairman of the House Armed Services 
Committee, which has received $600,000. Two law firms are 
offering advice on the kingdom's efforts to build nuclear 
power plants: Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman, which got

nearly $1.9 million between August 2018 and January; and 
King & Spalding, which received $946,000 in November." 
-- Saudi Arabia invited Reporters without Borders, a 
global press freedom group, to the kingdom. Kareem 
Fahim reports: "The four-person delegation visited in April 
and met with senior Saudi officials, including the public 
prosecutor and the minister of justice, according to 
Christophe Deloire, who spoke publicly about the visit for the 
first time. The delegation's members demanded a 
thorough investigation of the killing of Khashoggi and 
pressed for the `unconditional and immediate release' 
of at least 30 journalists that Reporters without 
Borders says are unfairly imprisoned in the kingdom, 
Deloire said. The invitation was the first from the Saudi 
government to RSF and the level of access the delegation 
was given was extremely rare, he said." 
-- The Saudi princess who has been accused of 
ordering her bodyguard to assault a workman in Paris 
has gone on trial in absentia. From the BBC: "Princess 
Hassa bint Salman - Crown Prince Mohammed bin 
Salman's sister - faces charges of complicity to violence with 
a weapon and complicity to kidnap. Her bodyguard ... is also 
on trial. ... [Both] deny wrongdoing. ... Egyptian workman 
Ashraf Eid told police that, in September 2016, he was 
working in the Saudi king's apartment on the exclusive 
Avenue Foch in Paris when he went to take pictures of the 
bathroom on his mobile phone so that he could remember 
where items were placed before he started. However, the

reports say. ... According to one French account, the 
workman accused the princess of saying: 'This dog must be 
killed, he doesn't deserve to live. You'll see how you speak to 
a princess, how you speak to the royal family.' Mr Eid told 
police the bodyguard beat him up, binding his hands 
and forcing him to kiss the princess's feet." 
Nicki Minaj canceled a concert in Saudi Arabia after 
better "educating herself on the issues." Helena 
Andrews-Dyer reports: "Just one week after her 
performance at the Jeddah World Fest was announced, 
Minaj said in a statement that 'after careful consideration' 
she could no longer participate. 'While I want nothing more 
than to bring my show to fans in Saudi Arabia, after better 
educating myself on the issues, I believe it is important for 
me to make clear my support for the rights of women, the 
LGBTQ community and freedom of expression,' Minaj said 
in a statement Tuesday to the Associated Press."

that critics said could empower online provocateurs. 
Tony Romm, Michael Scherer and Amy B Wang report: 
"The high-profile gathering follows months of attacks from 
Trump claiming that Facebook, Google and Twitter ... 
secretly censor right-leaning users, websites and other 
content online, a charge of political bias that the tech giants 
strongly deny.. ... But Trump hasn't invited any of the major 
tech companies, people familiar with the White House plans 
say, opting instead to grant a powerful stage to people who 
have a track record of sending inflammatory tweets and 
videos and posting other troubling content that social media 
sites increasingly are under pressure to remove. Among the 
expected attendees are James O'Keefe, the founder of 
Project Veritas, which has released secretly recorded videos 
of subjects, including a Google executive, in an attempt to 
paint them as politically biased. Another invitee, Ben 
Garrison, has published cartoons that have drawn sharp 
rebukes from the Anti-Defamation League and the Southern 
Poverty Law Center for including hateful text and imagery." 
-- Apple, Amazon, Facebook and Google executives 
will testify to Congress next week as part of the

"The hearing, scheduled for July 16 in front of the House

antitrust, will bring simmering Democratic and Republican 
frustrations with Silicon Valley into public view, potentially

-- Twitter will ban posts that dehumanize people based 
on their religion. Hamza Shaban reports: "The update 
builds on Twitter's existing policies that bar the promotion of 
violence, threats and harassment against people in protected 
groups. But the company has acknowledged that what many 
people consider abusive tweets may not actually violate 
Twitter's rules. New policies banning dehumanizing 
language are an attempt to close that gap, Twitter said. ... 
Twitter won't automatically flag offending posts, but will 
review them when they are reported by users. The company 
said it will require that dehumanizing posts are removed from 
the platform, starting Tuesday." 
Netflix has lost two of its most popular shows —
"Friends" and "The Office" — as old media companies 
begin to flex their streaming muscles. CNBC's 
Sherman reports: "Disney, AT&T's WarnerMedia, and 
Comcast's NBCUniversal are all launching direct-to-
consumer streaming services by the first quarter of 2020. 
And they're all coming after Netflix. Sure, there will be 
enough consumer dollars to go around for Netflix to keep its 
massive subscriber base, 155 million globally, growing. But 
there's little doubt that part of the motivation of legacy media 
companies embracing subscription streaming services is to 
capture some of Netflix's valuation — or bring CEO Reed 
Hastings' behemoth back down to earth."

respite from high humidity continues today as we extend our 
break from showers and storms as well. We do trend a 
touch hotter today, before the humidity and storm chances 
come roaring back tomorrow. A few showers or storms may 
linger Friday, with a hot but mostly dry weekend the way it 
looks now."

and Cortlynn Stark report: "A day later, things returned to 
normal except for a few isolated spots, with officials saying 
most of the mayhem had been short-lived. But for some, the 
work was just beginning. Ayers Variety & Hardware was 
open, drawing enough power from a generator to make the 
cash register work. An employee escorted customers 
through the dimly lit store to help them find what they 
needed. ... In Montgomery County, officials were making 
arrangements for permanent repairs to a giant sinkhole that 
opened on Belfast Road in the Woodrock neighborhood of 
Potomac. ... In Arlington, 20th Street North and 18th Street 
remain closed as officials work to make repairs there. They 
are expected to be fixed by end of the week." 
-- The D.C. Council stripped Jack Evans of his 
chairmanship on the Committee on Finance and 
Revenue and said it will hire a law firm to investigate 
him. Steve Thompson reports: "The council stopped short 
of stripping Evans of other committee assignments — with 
the embattled, longtime lawmaker casting a deciding vote. ... 
Brianne K. Nadeau (D-Ward 1), who voted in favor of taking 
away all of Evans's committee assignments, said the 
lawmaker's situation has already left voters in his ward 
disenfranchised. ... Evans spoke few words during

Trump might win a Pyrrhic victory against 
Obamacare, as the balance of judicial power shifts 
his way 
People wait in line to enter the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit in New Orleans on Tuesday to hear 
arguments on whether Congress effectively invalidated the Affordable Care Act when it zeroed out the tax 
imposed on those who choose not to buy insurance. (Gerald Herbert/AP) 
BY JAMES HOHMANN 
with Joanie Greve and Mariana Altaro 
THE BIG IDEA: Oral arguments in New Orleans on Tuesday over 
the future of the Affordable Care Act foreshadowed the massive 
impact that President Trump's free rein to fill the courts with like-
minded judges will probably have on American jurisprudence over 
the next generation. 
For now, Trump continues to suffer legal setbacks. In a case involving 
his push to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census, a district 
court judge rejected the Justice Department's request to change out its 
team of lawyers. Separately, an appellate court in New York upheld a
