WASHINGTON, July 31 - U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan urged Tunisia's president on Saturday to outline a swift return to the "democratic path" following his seizure of governing powers last Sunday, the White House said. Tunisian President Kais Saied invoked a national emergency over the coronavirus pandemic and poor governance to dismiss the prime minister, freeze parliament and seize executive control in a move welcomed by street rallies but which his opponents branded a coup.
In a phone call, Sullivan underscored to Saied the need for "rapidly forming a new government, led by a capable prime minister to stabilize Tunisia’s economy and confront the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as ensuring the timely return of the elected parliament," the White House National Security Council said in a statement.Sign up for our newsletter

U.S. Justice Dept says IRS must provide former President Donald Trump's tax returns to CongressThe U.S. Justice Department on Friday ordered the Internal Revenue Service to hand over former President Donald Trump's tax returns to a House of Representatives committee, saying the panel has offered 'sufficient reasons' for requesting the material. The department's Office of Legal Counsel reversed course and declared that the department erred in 2019 when Trump was still in office when it found that the request for his taxes by the Democratic-led House Ways and Means Committee was based on a 'disingenuous' objective aimed at exposing them to the public. 'We cannot know where receipt of the requested tax information will take the committee, any more than the committee itself can predict what it will find or determine,' wrote Acting Assistant Attorney General Dawn Johnsen for the Office of Legal Counsel.
