| South Korea's Park not to respond to request by prosecutors - lawyer | |  South Korean President Park Geun-hye will not respond to a request by prosecutors to question her this week, her lawyer said on Monday, amid a deepening political crisis over a close friend accused of meddling in state affairs. The lawyer, Yoo Yeong-ha, said Park had to deal with the "fast-moving situation" and so there was little time for her to cooperate with prosecutors, who had asked to question the president by Tuesday.

| Trump, without evidence, says illegal voting cost him U.S. popular vote | |  By Roberta Rampton and Dustin Volz PALM BEACH, Fla./WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President-elect Donald Trump said in a tweet on Sunday that he won the popular vote in the Nov. 8 election "if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally", though he provided no evidence of widespread voter fraud. The allegation by Trump, who won the required votes in the Electoral College to secure the presidency, comes as Democratic rival Hillary Clinton's lead in the popular vote over Trump has surpassed 2.0 million votes and is expected to grow to more than 2.5 million as ballots in populous states such as California continue to be tallied. Clinton's legal team said on Saturday it had agreed to participate in a recount of Wisconsin votes after the state's election board approved the effort requested by Green Party candidate Jill Stein, which Trump has called "ridiculous." "In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally," the Republican Trump tweeted as reporters waited for him to leave his Mar-a-Lago golf resort in Florida to fly back to his residence in New York City.
