Trump’s Chief of Staff pick called him ‘terrible human’

Washington: US President Donald Trump’s budget director and his pick to be the acting Chief of Staff, Mick Mulvaney, called Trump “a terrible human being” during a campaign debate in 2016. In a video posted by The Daily Beast news website on Saturday, Mulvaney said at the debate: “Yes, I’m supporting Donald Trump,” the incumbent Republican, who later won re-election, says in the video. “I’m doing so as enthusiastically as I can, given the fact that I think he’s a terrible human being, but the choice on the other side is just as bad.” IANS

Brasilia: A Brazilian faith healer accused of sexual abuse by more than 300 women is now considered a fugitive after failing to report to authorities on Saturday. A judge on Friday issued an arrest warrant for João Teixeira de Faria, known as “John of God,” giving until 2 pm (1600 GMT) on Saturday to surrender. His location was unknown as of Saturday afternoon. Faria became a celebrity when Oprah Winfrey broadcast a report of his healing methods in 2013. He drew thousands of Brazilians and foreigners to the spiritual centre he has led since 1976 in Abadiânia. Reuters
