President Donald Trump denied a report on Thursday that he wanted attorney General William Barr to hold a press conference to declare he broke no laws during a July phone call in which Trump pressed his Ukrainian counterpart to investigate democrats.

Trump tweeted just after midnight that the story, first reported by The Washington post, “is totally untrue and just another fake news story with anonymous sources that don’t exist.” the post reported that Barr rebuffed the request.

Democrats have announced they will launch public impeachment hearings next week, intending to bring to life weeks of closed-door testimony and lay out a convincing narrative of presidential misconduct by Donald Trump.

First to testify will be William Taylor, the top diplomat in Ukraine, who has relayed in private his understanding that there was a blatant quid pro quo with trump holding up military aid. The trump administration has ordered officials not to participate in the house inquiry.

The Schultz School of Entrepreneurship hosted the second women in entrepreneurship week at St. Thomas in late October. The week-long event is part of a nationwide effort that includes colleges showcasing women in business and teaching how to hone young women’s skills in the workforce.
