Belarusian model who claimed to have information about Russian collusion released from jail
Anastasia Vashukevich, a model from Belarus, has been released from Russian custody, the Daily Beast reports.
Vashukevich has previously claimed to have recordings proving Russian interference in the US election. She was arrested in Thailand, and then deported to Russia, where she was detained at the airport last week.
The model has been romantically linked in the past to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska. According to leaked recordings, Deripaska plotted her arrest.

‘Stay out of the way’: Fox News sources say Justice Roberts will let GOPers win tie votes on witnesses
Chief Justice John Roberts is expected not to weigh in heavily during the question and answer phase of the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.
As the trial moves to the new phase on Wednesday, Roberts has the option of "inserting himself" into the process to rule on questions or other matters, according to Fox News correspondent Chad Pergram.
But sources told the Fox News reporter that Roberts will follow the model of former Chief Justice William Rehnquist who presided over President Bill Clinton's impeachment trial in 1999.
Under the Senate rules, measures that do not receive a majority of votes fail. So if a Senate vote of witnesses was tied 50-50, the measure would not pass. Roberts could choose to break the tie but he is not expected to do so.

Law professor who studied under Alan Dershowitz shreds his ‘shockingly wrong’ case against impeaching Trump
Aya Gruber, a professor at the University of Colorado Law School who studied under Trump impeachment attorney Alan Dershowitz at Harvard, had some uncharitable words to say about her former professor's argument against impeaching the president.
"Dershowitz was my criminal law prof, and he was a good one," Gruber writes on Twitter. "But as a crim law prof myself, I can say his motive argument (Congress shouldn't examine the internal motives of POTUS so long he could have had a good reason for withholding aid) is shockingly wrong."
