BRITAIN/LEGAL/STATE/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “The grieving family of the British teenager who was killed in a motorcycle crash involving a US diplomat’s wife has criticized both the US and UK governments for their handling of the incident, accusing the Trump administration of abusing its power. In an interview with CNN’s Hala Gorani, family spokesperson Radd Seiger explained why Harry Dunn’s parents were contemplating legal action against the Trump administration and Anne Sacoolas — the American woman involved in the crash. Dunn, 19, died in August after being knocked from his motorcycle outside a Royal Air Force station in central England that is controlled by the US Air Force. British police say he was struck by a vehicle that was traveling on the wrong side of the road…Dunn’s parents met US President Trump last month, an encounter which left them feeling as if they had been ‘taken advantage of,’ Seiger said in the immediate aftermath of the meeting, as Trump presented them with an unexpected offer to meet Sacoolas, whom he said was waiting in the next room.”
