ByKenThomas The Associated Press WASHINGTON Bernie Sanders' movement for a politicalrevolutionisreach- ing a crossroads even as he promises to campaign against Hillary Clinton through the June prima- ries and into the Philadel- phia convention. The Vermont senator said in an interview with The Associated Press after losses to Clinton in Tues- day's primaries in Penn- sylvania, Maryland, Del- aware and Connecticut that he would now seek as many delegates as possible to "fight for a progressive party platform," acknowl- edging that he had only a "very narrow path" to the nomination. "Every person in this country should have the right to vote for whom they want to see as presi- dent of the United States and what they want to see the agenda, Democratic agenda, look like," Sanders told The AP late Tuesday. Sanders said at a rally at Purdue University in Indi- ana on Wednesday that he was "in this campaign to win and become the Demo- cratic nominee," adding, "if we do not win, we intend to win every delegate that we can so that when we go to Philadelphia in July we're going to have the votes to put together the strongest progressive agenda that any political party has ever seen." Sanders won the Rhode Island primary on Tues- day, adding to his trove of more than 1,300 delegates, buthislossinNewYorklast week and Tuesday's defeats in the delegate-rich states of Pennsylvania and Mary- land is likely to change the focus to shaping the Dem- ocratic platform, Clinton's policyagendaandhismove- ment to address income in- equality and the campaign finance system. Sanders hopes to score a victory in next week's In- diana primary and is look- ing ahead to upcoming contests in Oregon and California but he remains about 300 pledged dele- gates behind Clinton. He has vowed to compete until the final District of Colum- bia primary in June. Clin- ton's campaign and Dem- ocratic leaders are watch- ing closely to see if Sanders will continue to raise issues that could damage Clin- ton's chances in November or whether he will encour- age his youthful following to support Clinton. "I would hope that there is a beginning of a pivot for him to make it really clear to his supporters what's at stake against the Republi- cans,"saidformerMichigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm, who supports Clinton. Clinton's allies note that Republican Donald Trump has been co-opting Sand- ers' pitch against Clinton, which the businessman ac- knowledgedonWednesday. "Bernie Sanders has a message that's interest- ing. I'm going to be taking a lot of things Bernie said and using it," Trump said Wednesday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "When he said 'Bad judgment' I said, 'Soundbyte!'" Former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell said Sand- ers had every right to com- pete until the end of the primaries as Clinton did in 2008. But he expressed hope Sanders would point out their differences but "not assail her judgment or character anymore." Rendell, a Clinton sup- porter, said that could un- dermine Sanders' effort to address wealth inequality and campaign finance re- form. "If he believes what he's talking about, he's got to understand that he's got to help her by toning it down," Rendell said. At rallies, Sanders has sent mixed signals during the past week over whether he will ease up on Clinton. HehasdemandedthatClin- ton release the transcripts of her lucrative private speeches to Wall Street, a point he made in Indiana, and has critiqued Clinton on other issues like trade and the war in Iraq. But in other events Sanders has largely steered clear of Clinton, focusing instead on Trump. In the AP inter- view,Sandersbristledwhen asked if he would continue to contrast his record with Clinton's. "Of course. I'm getting attacked by Hillary Clinton and her surrogates every damn day. Every day we're getting attacked and our record is being dis- torted," he said. PRESIDENTIAL RACE Sanders'bidreaches turning point a er Northeast losses TERRORISM OFFENSES MICHELEULER—THEASSOCIATEDPRESS Hooded Police officers walk before entering the judicial Police headquarters, part of the Palace of Justice complex, in Paris, France, Wednesday. By Lori Hinnant and Raphael Satter The Associated Press PARIS The lone known surviving suspect in the Paris attacks was returned Wednesday to the city where Islamic State extremists un- leashed a night of mayhem and charged with a host of terrorism offenses, raising hopes that he may be able to help French investiga- tors trace the pathways of IS fightersthoughttobehiding out in Europe. Salah Abdeslam was whisked in secretly by he- licopter after being trans- ferred from the prison cell in Belgium where he had been held since his cap- ture last month. His lawyer, Frank Berton, described a "muscular operation" that had caught even the attor- ney by surprise, causing him to rush to join his client at Paris' Palace of Justice. The 26-year-old faces pre- liminary charges of partic- ipating in a terrorist orga- nization, terrorist murders and attempted murders, at- temptedterroristmurdersof public officials, hostage-tak- ing,andpossessingweapons and explosives, French pros- ecutors said in a statement. Berton said Abdeslam was being sent to Fleury- Merogis, a massive, high- security prison about 30 ki- lometers (19 miles) south of Paris, where he will be held in isolation in a special camera-equipped cell un- til his next hearing on May 20. French Justice Minis- ter Jean-Jacques Urvoas said earlier that Abdeslam would be placed in isolation, watched by guards specially trained to deal with "people reputed to be dangerous." The return of the last known survivor of the team that carried out the Nov. 13 attacks may help investiga- tors untangle some of the still-unresolved questions about the assault, which claimed 130 lives at cafes, a music hall and a sports stadium. The Islamic State group claimed responsibil- ity for the carnage. Berton told reporters Wednesday that his client "volunteered that he would explainhimselfatsome later date." Abdeslam, a French citizen of Moroccan origin, spent four months on the run following the attacks and a month in Belgian cus- tody after being tackled by heavily armed police out- side his hideout in the Mol- lenbeek neighborhood of Brussels. Abdeslam's precise role in the attacks has never been clear. The Paris prosecutor said he was kitted out as a suicide bomber, but aban- doned his plans and fled to Belgium. Abdeslam's older brother blew himself up that night at a cafe. It was at the hideout near his childhood home in Mo- lenbeek that Abdeslam was ultimately captured on March18.Hisdetentionmay have prompted other mem- bers of the Islamic State cell to rush attack plans already in motion. Four days later, suicide bombers detonated their explosives in the Brus- sels airport and metro, kill- ing32people.Abdeslamhad told interrogators nothing about a new plot. His return to Paris of- fered solace to victims of the Nov. 13 bloodshed and raised hopes that French in- vestigators would finally be able to trace the pathways of the Islamic State fighters thought to be hiding out in Europe. "I would like to look him in the eye. If I could even talk to him, it would be im- portant to me," George Sa- lines, whose daughter, Lola, died at the Bataclan concert venue, told BFM television. But in a surprising as- sessment, Abdeslam's Bel- gian lawyer downplayed any insight from his client, dismissing him as a "little jerk among Molenbeek's lit- tle delinquents, more a fol- lower than a leader." "He has the intelligence of an empty ashtray," the at- torney, Sven Mary, told the French newspaper Libera- tion. "He is the perfect ex- ample of the ... generation that believes it's living in a video game. ... I asked him if he had read the Quran and he told me he got his inter- pretation from the Internet." However, Berton de- scribed his client as a young man "falling apart" and ready to cooperate. He told iTele TV that Ab- deslam wants to talk, "he has things to say, that he wants to explain his route to radicalization" as well as his role in the attacks — but not take responsibility for the crimes of others. "That means be judged for facts and acts that he committed but not for what he did not commit simply because he is the only sur- vivor of the attacks," Ber- ton said.
