8A Daily News– Wednesday, June 13, 2012 leak probes WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General Eric Holder on Tuesday fend- ed off Republican demands that he appoint a special counsel outside of the Justice Department to look into national security leaks. Republicans say special counsel should run U.S. attorneys as experi- enced and highly respect- ed. Holder said both he and FBI Director Robert Mueller have already been interviewed by the FBI as part of a fast-mov- ing Justice Department leak investigation. At a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Chuck Grassley, R- Iowa, said they want the attorney general to appoint a special counsel to look into the leaks, rather than Holder's choices, U.S. Attorneys Ron Machen and Rod Rosenstein, who hold political appointments. Graham and Grassley were referring to a proce- dure by which a special counsel appointed from outside the Justice Department conducts the leak investigations. Holder praised the two too much BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) — A former Penn State assistant coach whose account led to Joe Paterno's downfall testi- fied Tuesday that he heard a ''skin-on-skin smacking sound'' in a campus lock- er room one night in 2001 and saw something that was ''more than my brain could handle.''

Authorities say he abused them in hotels, at his home and inside the football team's quarters. The former assistant coach and founder of an acclaimed youth charity has denied the allegations. Wife of Trayvon Martin shooter charged ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The wife of the Trayvon Martin's shooter was charged with perjury Tues- day, accused of lying when she told a judge that the couple had limited funds during a hearing that result- ed in her husband being released on $150,000 bond. Shellie Zimmerman, 25, McQueary, one of the star witnesses in the child sexual abuse case against Sandusky, testified that he slammed his locker shut loudly as if to say, ''Someone's here! Break it up!'' Then, he said, he went upstairs to his office to try to make sense of what he had seen. Sandusky, 68, is on was released on $1,000 bond. George Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in the teen's slaying and had been out on the bond after the April hearing. However, Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester on June 1 revoked the bond and ordered Zim- merman returned to the Seminole County Jail. Lester in a strongly worded ruling said the Zimmermans lied about how much money they had. An arrest affidavit for Shellie Zimmerman said that records show in April she transferred more than $85,500 from her bank account into her husband's account. The affidavit also said that jail call records show that George Zimmer- man instructed her to ''pay off all the bills,'' including an American Express and Sam's Club card. A state attorney investi- gator met with credit union officials and learned that she had transfer control of his account. Zimmerman's attorney Mark O'Mara has said the Zimmermans were con- fused and fearful when they misled court officials about how much money they had. House seat PHOENIX (AP) — Gabrielle Giffords' hand- picked House successor squared off Tuesday in a special election in Arizona against the Republican that Giffords narrowly beat just months before she was shot. It was a hard-fought pre- view of the broader fall campaign to come. Democrats try to hold Giffords' Both the GOP and the Democrats were using the race to hone and test their political arguments for the November elections, when everything from the White House on down will be on the ballot. Republicans, sensing a chance to capture the former congresswoman's seat in southern Arizona, sought to make the contest a referen- dum on President Barack Obama and his handling of the economy. They argued that Democrat Ron Barber, a former Giffords aide asked by the lawmaker to pursue the seat, would fall in line behind the White House. Democrats, in turn, played to the senior vote by contending that Republican Jesse Kelly, who narrowly lost to Giffords in 2010, would not protect Medicare and Social Security.

Those signature policies are unpopular, and voters clear- ly want the candidates to focus instead on jobs. Dealing with a slow- moving economy, Obama is imploring voters to stick with him through tough times while promising that better days lie ahead — with him, not Republican foe Mitt Romney. The sell- ing of Obama's first term, however, isn't so simple. The president can't tell The victor will complete the remainder of Giffords' term. Both candidates are promising to run for a full term in the fall, setting up a possible November rematch in a redrawn district that is friendlier to Democrats. Obama doesn't voters about a grand eco- nomic comeback story because there isn't one to tell. In foreign affairs, he can't declare outright victo- ry in Iraq and Afghanistan so he promotes the ending of a ''decade under the dark cloud of war.'' Health care reform, his most prominent legislative achievement, is unpopular with many voters and could be struck down by the Supreme Court this month. health care BALTIMORE (AP) — Fighting for re-election, President Barack Obama is emphasize C & C PROPERTIES gan — ''Forward'' — aims to fit the times, offering a sober assessment of a nation trying to turn the page from war and economic turmoil under his watch while implying that Republican Romney would take the country backward.
