A senior administration official insisted that the White House had not told Mr. Bannon to exert executive privilege.

Mr. Bannon did not address reporters, and a spokesman for Mr. Mueller did not respond to messages seeking comment.

After excerpts from the book, “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House,” were published this month, Mr. Trump derided Mr. Bannon publicly and threatened to sue him for defamation.

Mr. Bannon was soon ousted as the executive chairman of the hard-right website Breitbart News.

Some legal experts said the subpoena could be a sign that the investigation was intensifying, while others said it might simply be a negotiating tactic to persuade Mr. Bannon to cooperate with the investigation.

Mr. Bannon also helped run the transition after Chris Christie, now the former governor of New Jersey, was fired as head of that team.

Mr. Bannon did not apologize, however, and though he had approved the statement, an associate sent it to reporters without his knowledge. »

When things go wrong – – from pre-eclampsia to premature birth – costs can quickly spiral into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It’s nearly impossible to put a price tag on giving birth in America, since costs vary dramatically by state and hospital.

That means America is simultaneously the most expensive and one of the riskiest industrialized nations in which to have children. »

A bába és az orvos tanúvallomása ennek ellentmond, a vádirat szerint az újszülöttgyógyász tájékoztatta a szülőket a vitaminok szükségességéről.

Ezt azoknak az újszülötteknek, akik egészségügyi intézményben születnek, a szülés után rögtön beadják, majd otthon a szülő adagolja havonta.

2013. január 1-jén a másfél hónapos csecsemő rosszul lett, sírt, míg végül délután - a vádirat megfogalmazása szerint - sugárban hányni kezdett. »
