WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s legal team is asserting that he did “absolutely nothing wrong” and calling the impeachment case “flimsy” and a “dangerous perversion of the Constitution.” The brief from Trump’s lawyers was filed before arguments expected this week in the Senate impeachment trial. It offered the most detailed glimpse of the defense they intend to use against Democratic efforts to convict the president and oust him from office. It is meant as a counter to a brief filed by House Democrats that summarized weeks of testimony from more than a dozen witnesses in laying out the impeachment case.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Thousands of gun-rights activists and other groups are crowding the streets around Virginia’s Capitol to protest plans by the state’s Democratic leadership to pass gun-control legislation. Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam declared a temporary state of emergency days ahead of Monday’s rally and banned weapons from the area in front of the Capitol building. Protesters said they weathered chilly temperatures to show legislators in Richmond there was strong opposition to their plans. They chanted in support of President Donald Trump, who in turn tweeted support for their goals. Officials feared fringe groups could use the rally to stir up violence and chaos reminiscent of a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville in 2017.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Democratic presidential contenders are celebrating the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday and his legacy in South Carolina, Iowa and elsewhere. In Columbia, the field’s major contenders linked arms with each other and civil rights leaders in a crowd of thousands marching to the South Carolina Statehouse. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren put aside their frosty relationship of recent days and shook hands at a church service joined by other rivals, too. South Carolina’s first-in-the-South primary is a crucial proving ground for a candidate’s mettle with black voters. The state’s showcase holiday celebration, Columbia’s King Day at the Dome, is a notable event for Democratic politicians.

LONDON (AP) — Prince Harry says he’s taking a “leap of faith’’ as he steps back from royal duties in an attempt to build a more peaceful life — one free of the journalists who have filmed, photographed and written about him since the day he was born. But it’s not likely to play out that way. Global fame will follow Harry and his TV star wife, Meghan, even as they decamp to the seemingly more benign environment of Canada. Royal expert Pauline Maclaran says that if they believe the media will leave them alone, they aren’t being realistic.

BEIJING (AP) — The head of a Chinese government expert team says human-to-human transmission has been confirmed in an outbreak of a new coronavirus. State media said Monday that the leader of the National Health Commission team said two people in southern China caught the diseases from family members. The English-language China Daily newspaper said the National Health Commission task force also found that some medical workers have tested positive for the virus. Human-to-human transmission could make the virus spread more quickly and widely. The outbreak is believed to have started from people who picked it up at a fresh food market in the city of Wuhan in central China.

A Wisconsin couple’s drug bust took a strange turn when one of the suspects told police he cut his product with an unusual substance: his mother’s cremated remains. 26-year-old Austin Schroeder and his girlfriend, 21-year-old Kaitlin Geiger, each face felony drug charges after a tip led authorities to their apartment. According to a criminal complaint, however, Schroeder told authorities his mother died a little more than one year ago and he mixed some of her ashes with a variety of substances, some of which he ultimately ingested. The complaint does not specify if Schroeder mixed his mother’s remains with any of the drugs he is accused of selling.

UNDATED (AP) — Harvey Weinstein’s defense team is expected to go on the offensive against his accusers when his sexual assault trial opens in the coming days. They’ll question whether the accusers acted like rape victims. New York City prosecutors plan to fight back with a strategy that’s taken hold since the 2018 retrial of comedian Bill Cosby: calling an expert on victim behavior early in the trial. They plan to use the sex crimes expert from Cosby’s trial, Dr. Barbara Ziv. Her work shows that victims often delay reporting to police, keep in contact with the perpetrator and remember more details over time.
