Jolyon Palmer was looking forward to the opportunity of moving up the grid in Barcelona after a troubled first four races with Renault this year so far.

While his runs in free practice since yesterday morning appeared to bode well for qualifying, the Brit was unexpectedly eliminated in Q1 with a disappointing P17 result.

“To be honest I don’t what happened,” said a perplexed Palmer.

“The pace is gone. I was quite happy yesterday, jumped straight and was feeling good for this weekend, feeling good with the practice yesterday and today, but it’s gone.”

“I’m quite confused really, it didn’t feel good in the car. I didn’t do such a horrendus lap but there wasn’t any pace there.”

Palmer was hopeful however that a thorough analysis would reveal the source of his sudden loss of speed.

“We’ll work on it and see what we can do. I’m sure somewhere in the data and in the feedback there will be an explanation because yesterday I was alot quicker than what I’ve just done in qualifying. It’s a bit strange.”

IRBIL, Iraq — 

Vice President Mike Pence made an unannounced visit to Iraq on Saturday in the highest-level American trip since President Trump ordered a pullback of U.S. forces in Syria two months ago.

Flying in a C-17 military cargo jet to preserve the secrecy of the visit to the conflict zone, Pence landed in Irbil to meet with Iraqi Kurdistan President Nechirvan Barzani. The visit was meant to reassure the U.S.’ Iraqi allies in the fight against the Islamic State group even though the U.S. pulled troops from northern Syria on Trump’s orders, leaving Kurdish allies in neighboring Syria to face a bloody Turkish assault last month.

Earlier, Pence received a classified briefing at Iraq’s Al-Asad Air Base, from which U.S. forces are believed to have launched the operation in Syria last month that resulted in the death of Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Pence also spoke by phone with Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi.

It was Pence’s second trip to the region in five weeks. Trump deployed him on a whirlwind trip to Ankara, Turkey, last month to negotiate a cease-fire after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan seized on the U.S. withdrawal to launch an assault on Kurdish fighters in northern Syria. Trump’s move had sparked some of the most unified criticism of his administration to date, as lawmakers in both parties accused the president of forsaking longtime Kurdish allies and inviting Russia and Iran to hold even greater sway in the volatile region.

Pence said he welcomed “the opportunity on behalf of President Donald Trump to reiterate the strong bonds forged in the fires of war between the people of the United States and the Kurdish people across this region.”

A senior U.S. official said Pence’s visit was meant both to reassure Iraqi Kurds who remain allied with the U.S. in the fight against the Islamic State group, as well as Americans who have long supported the Kurdish cause, that the Trump administration remained committed to the alliance. The visit was also designed to show Pence’s focus on foreign policy as Washington is gripped by the drama of impeachment.

Barzani thanked Pence for U.S. military support in the fight against Islamic State, adding that his “visit at this particular time is an important indication of your continued support to Kurdistan and Iraq.”

The U.S. maintains its collaboration with Iraqi Kurds, notwithstanding its pullout from northern Syria, where Trump, after declaring the near-complete withdrawal of U.S. forces, decided that roughly 800 would stay to keep oil fields in the east fields from falling back into Islamic State hands.

Trump also agreed to keep about 150 U.S. troops at a base in southern Syria as a check on Iranian influence in the region.

While Trump has claimed that the U.S. was now “keeping” the oil in Syria, Pentagon officials indicated the U.S. presence is not intended to improve the oil infrastructure but to keep it in the hands of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces.

Pence said the U.S. and Kurdish alliance was meant to ensure that Islamic State or another extremist group “will not be able to gain a foothold in this region again.”

Pence, joined on the trip by his wife, Karen Pence, also greeted U.S. troops ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, serving turkey and accompaniments to hundreds of troops at the two locations.

“While you come from the rest of us, you’re the best of us,” Pence told service members in a dusty hangar at Al-Asad. He said the Trump administration is working to secure another pay increase for the armed services and suggested the ongoing impeachment inquiry in Washington was slowing the way.

“Partisan politics and endless investigations have slowed things down in D.C.,” Pence said.

Pence’s visit to Iraq comes as the country has been plagued by widespread anti-corruption protests. At least 320 protesters have been killed and thousands have been wounded since the unrest began on Oct. 1, when demonstrators took to the streets in Baghdad and across Iraq’s mainly Shiite south to decry rampant government malfeasance and a lack of basic services despite Iraq’s oil wealth. The protests have exposed long-simmering resentment over Iran’s influence in the country, with protesters targeting Shiite political parties and militias with close ties to Tehran.

Pence spoke by phone with Abdul-Mahdi after the Iraqi leader declined an invitation to meet with Pence at the air base when security concerns prevented Pence from traveling into Baghdad. The U.S. ambassador to Iraq, Matthew Tueller, said Pence expressed support for a free, sovereign and independent Iraq — a subtle warning against Iranian influence in the country, which has weakened cooperation between the U.S. and Iraq.

Pence also encouraged the Iraqi government to show restraint with the protesters. According to one official, Abdul-Mahdi expressed regret for the violence and cast it as growing pains for the country and its security services, more used to war than democratic protest.

Pence’s visit comes days after the release of hundreds of pages of purported Iranian intelligence cables detailing Iran’s extensive influence in Iraq.

The unprecedented leak of 700 pages of documents shows Tehran’s efforts to embed itself in Iraq and co-opt the country’s leaders, including paying Iraqi agents working for the United States to switch sides and infiltrate every aspect of Iraq’s political, economic and religious life, according to a joint report by the New York Times and the Intercept.

The revelation came after dozens of demonstrators attacked the Iranian consulate in Karbala earlier in November, scaling concrete barriers and saying they rejected the influence of the neighboring country in Iraqi affairs.

WASHINGTON — 

A long list of aides to President Trump could have appeared in the House impeachment hearings to defend his efforts in Ukraine, especially since the president insists everything he did was “perfect.”

Gordon Sondland, Trump’s ambassador to the European Union, rattled off their names when he testified: Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo, acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, former national security advisor John Bolton, Energy Secretary Rick Perry.

“Everyone was in the loop,” Sondland testified, and the address list on his emails backed him up.

But Trump told his lieutenants to refuse the House Democrats’ requests. Even if he thinks the rules were unfair, it suggests a lack of confidence in his own case.

The president said he’s thinking about sending Congress a written statement, but given his bottomless record of dishonesty it wouldn’t be worth the paper his lawyers wrote it on.

Of all the missing witnesses, though, Mulvaney stands apart.

Aside from Trump and his freewheeling lawyer Rudy Giuliani, Mulvaney knows the most about the attempt to muscle Ukraine into investigating Joe Biden and other Democrats.

It was Mulvaney, witnesses said, who organized the “unofficial channel” of envoys who negotiated with Kyiv: Sondland, Perry and special envoy Kurt Volker.

It was Mulvaney who cut Bolton and his staff out of the negotiations, and ignored their objections to the politically motivated probe, to the point that Bolton denounced the machinations as a “drug deal.”

It was Mulvaney who carried out Trump’s order to block nearly $400 million in congressionally mandated military aid to Ukraine in July. The aid was released only after Congress began to investigate in September.

It was Mulvaney who set up the now-infamous July 25 telephone call when Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Biden and a debunked conspiracy theory from the 2016 election.

And in a scandal where Republicans have complained about a lack of firsthand witnesses, it was Mulvaney who worked next to the Oval Office and talked with the president almost every working day.

Other administration officials were not as central . Pence was briefed on the scheme, one witness said, but it’s not clear what he did. Pompeo will be remembered for his shameful decision to abandon his ambassador in Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, when Giuliani and his clients demanded she be removed.

As for Bolton, he has signed a lucrative book deal that he seems to consider a higher priority than assisting an impeachment investigation.

But Bolton wasn’t running these negotiations. The man in charge was his rival for Trump’s favor, Mulvaney.

That made sense. The political-dirt-for-weapons effort was “a domestic political errand,” one of Bolton’s top former aides, Fiona Hill, testified. The National Security Council staff and the U.S. Embassy in Kyiv, in contrast, were “involved in national security foreign policy. And those two things had just diverged.”

Mulvaney’s management of the “irregular channel” helps explain, in retrospect, his disastrous news conference on Oct. 17, when he injudiciously acknowledged a quid pro quo.” He had been in the middle of the major decisions, and wanted to defend them.

“I was involved with the process by which the [military aid] money was held up temporarily, OK?” he said.

At the time, Trump and his allies were still insisting there was no quid pro quo in their dealings with Ukraine.

Mulvaney knew that argument was untenable. So he offered a more sophisticated version: Yes, Trump asked for a trade, but that’s normal in diplomacy.

Last week, several Republican lawmakers said much the same thing. But when Mulvaney spoke, he was guilty of premature candor.

Besides, he still works for Trump, whose position (NO QUID PRO QUO!) remains unchanged no matter what the evidence shows.

Mulvaney’s problems go beyond one bungled news conference, though. He’s a terrible chief of staff. Make that “acting” chief of staff; he’s still on probation after 11 months in the position.

One of the most important parts of any chief of staff’s job description is telling a headstrong president when he’s wrong.

“Someone has got to be a guide that [says] ‘Mr. President, don’t do it.’” Mulvaney’s predecessor, John F. Kelly, told a conference last month. “Don’t hire someone that will just nod and say, ‘That’s a great idea, Mr. President.’ Because you will be impeached.”

But Mulvaney got his job last December partly by reassuring Trump that he wouldn’t be as tough as Kelly, a retired Marine general. On that count, he’s delivered — with disastrous results.

When Trump gave Turkey a green light to invade northern Syria and expel Kurdish fighters who had been U.S. allies, Mulvaney didn’t talk him out of it.

When Trump decided to hold next year’s G-7 summit meeting at one of his resorts in Florida, Mulvaney did not resist. Only when Republican senators revolted did Trump back down.

And now Mulvaney has helped Trump blunder into impeachment — without even getting the Ukrainian investigation of Biden that he wanted.

So far, the chief of staff isn’t offering much of a defense of his boss’ actions, except for a statement from his lawyer complaining that the House’s witnesses didn’t have much firsthand evidence to share.

There’s a remedy for that, of course. The White House can send up a witness who works with Trump firsthand, knows most of the facts, and has waived most of any claim to executive privilege by talking: Mick Mulvaney.

LAS VEGAS — 

The knock on boxing’s little guys is that they don’t have the bone-crushing knockout power the big boys do.

Leo Santa Cruz was pegged to serve as an appetizer for the heavyweight championship showdown and main course between Deontay Wilder and Luis Ortiz on Saturday at the MGM Grand, and although he was moving up in weight, restless fans couldn’t wait for his fight to be over.

Santa Cruz (37-1-1, 19 KOs) stepped up to the 130-pound weight class and won a world title in a fourth division via unanimous decision when he outworked Miguel Flores (24-3, 12 KOs) for a vacant version of the WBA junior lightweight title.

Santa Cruz won by the scores of 117-110 twice and 115-112. The tally amounted to Santa Cruz becoming the fifth Mexican fighter to win championships across four weight divisions, joining the recently anointed Canelo Alvarez, Erik Morales, Juan Manuel Marquez and Jorge Arce. Santa Cruz, from Los Angeles, also was a crownholder at the 118, 122 and 126-pound divisions.

In his immediate post-fight interview, the heavy favorite Santa Cruz said he wasn’t pleased with his performance either, but noted that he didn’t want to make any excuses.

“Winning this title means the world to me,” Santa Cruz said. “This is all for the fans who support me. I didn’t feel myself today and didn’t perform the way I wanted to. I’m going to get back in the gym and get a big fight in 2020.”

Even though Santa Cruz made personal history, the showdown was a dull display. In fact, the most scintillating moment was when Mike Tyson entered the arena and made his way to his seat. The impatient crowd momentarily held back the boos and embraced the heavyweight icon.

Santa Cruz, who is famous for relentlessly swinging his way through rounds of more than 100 punches, was more subdued, mounting points on the scorecards, much to the disdain of the crowd. He totaled 907 punches thrown, a rate of 75 per round. He landed only 28%.

“It was a close fight and I didn’t think he was landing too much,” Santa Cruz said. “He was busy but he wasn’t landing too many shots. I landed cleaner, harder shots but he was just busier.”

The first two rounds were feel-out ones for Santa Cruz, who didn’t display the traditionally high output of punches fans have been accustomed to. Flores split the first two stanzas, outboxing his adversary at times.

In the third round, a recommitted Santa Cruz stepped off his stool and applied the pressure, walking down Flores and clipping him with a straight right hand. He followed up the crisp punch with a workmanlike approach to the body.

The somewhat slow pace continued for the rest of the fight. In the eighth round, referee Tony Weeks had seen enough holding from Flores and deducted a point.

Flores was game and even stole a few rounds, but not quite enough to win.

“It was a good fight and I showed I belong at this level,” Flores said. “I just went 12 rounds with Leo Santa Cruz. It’s not an accomplishment in itself but I slowed down his pace. Like I said before, it’s not only about throwing punches, but it’s about ring IQ and I showed I have it.”

Santa Cruz was cornered by father Jose Santa Cruz, who has been battling myeloma spinal cancer for the last three years. The senior Santa Cruz was getting around the MGM Grand with an electric scooter all week, but Saturday he was in full work mode. Earlier in the evening, he cornered undefeated Ukranian Viktor Slavinskyi to a unanimous-decision victory over Rigoberto Hermosillo.

In other action, Brandon Figueroa (20-0-1, 15 KOs) held on to his WBA regular junior featherweight title when he fought to a draw against Julio Ceja (32-4-1, 28 KOs) in a competitive, back-and-forth fight. One judge had the 22-year-old southpaw Figueroa winning 115-113, while the other had Ceja at 116-112. The third judge had it even at 114-114.

“I think I did win the fight. He put on a lot of pressure, but I fought better in the early rounds and I finished strong,” Figueroa said. “I feel like he won maybe four rounds out of the whole fight. I thought I won the first four and closed out the last few rounds of the fight strong.”

“This fight is for all of you fans who came here to see me,” Ceja said. “He was a man about it and he gave me the fight. I think I won, but I respect the judges’ decision. I’ll definitely run it back in a rematch.”

To kick off the pay-per-view, Eduardo Ramirez (23-2-3, 10 KOs) knocked out Leduan Barthelemy (15-1-1, 7 KOs) in the fourth round in a rematch of their 2017 fight, which was scored a draw.

“The first fight wasn’t a draw,” Ramirez said. ”I worked very hard for this and it turned out how I wanted today. I felt his punching power. He’s a good fighter but I came here to fight.”

It was five hours before the Sierra Canyon boys’ basketball team took the floor against Cathedral Catholic and the line in front of the San Diego Montgomery High School gym was hundreds of people long.

It had been like that all week as the Trailblazers, the star-studded No. 1 team in the state, played three games at the San Diego Tip-Off Challenge, with each game sold out.

Sierra Canyon’s opponent Saturday was the consensus No. 1 team in San Diego, and though the Dons might not have had the glitzy names and reputation of the Chatsworth-based powerhouse, they featured a squad that has played together for years and includes multiple future Division I college players.

Cathedral Catholic fed off the energy of the home crowd and opened the game with a 12-0 run over the first four minutes that had the San Diego-heavy crowd cheering at every early bucket, but once Sierra Canyon settled in, it regained control and took its third victory of the year 59-46.

“They were going fast and we thought that was to our benefit,” Trailblazers’ coach Andre Chevalier said. “We picked up our defense and didn’t think they could sustain [that pace], so we were OK with it. The kids are still learning each other and our system, so it was great to see them persevere and get the win.”

Chevalier’s early decision to remain calm paid dividends as Sierra Canyon (3-0) outscored Cathedral Catholic 25-7 over the final 12 minutes of the first half to take a 25-19 into the break.

The Trailblazers’ defense continued to cause problems and turnovers for Cathedral Catholic as Sierra Canyon opened up a 14-point lead, 42-28, with 2:10 left in the third quarter.

The offensive spark in the period was sophomore forward Shy Odom who scored 10 points and grabbed five rebounds, three offensive, in the third.

Odom, who transferred in from Chestnut Hill (Mass.) Beaver Country Day School, doesn’t receive the same fanfare as teammates B.J. Boston, Zaire Wade, Terren Frank or Bronny James, but that’s how he likes it.

“I do what it takes for us to get a win at the end of the day,” said Odom, who finished with game-highs in points and rebounds with 20 and 10, respectively. “I’m not really about the flashy stuff.”

There wasn’t a ton of the flashy stuff when it comes to lob dunks or ankle-breaking crossover dribbles as Cathedral Catholic managed to climb back into the game at the end of the third.

Dons’ junior point guard Alex Wade connected on a three-pointer with 15 seconds left in the period, cutting the Trailblazers’ lead to 44-37.

Cathedral Catholic hung tough early in the fourth, as well, when Thomas Notarainni’s corner three-pointer cut the Sierra Canyon lead to 49-42 with 6:11 to play.

Odom again came to the rescue, putting the game on ice with a couple of put-back buckets, both of which resulted in fouls and traditional three-point plays, and the second putting the Trailblazers up 59-44 with 2:14 to play.

Boston, who will head to Kentucky next fall, finished with 12 points, while sophomore guard Amari Bailey had 11 for the Trailblazers.

Hello, my name is John Cherwa and welcome back to our horse racing newsletter as we send you a YouTube clip that is guaranteed to make you laugh.

At the recent California Horse Racing Board meeting a bunch of reporters (including me) caught up with Aidan Butler, acting chief executive of California racing for The Stronach Group. Aidan, like all of us, needed a break from the never-ending meeting and we chased him down outside front doors of the Del Mar Hilton. (Note: Aidan stayed until the bitter end of the meeting.)

What we’ve got below is not an exact transcript of the eight-minute mini-news conference with the Santa Anita boss. In some cases, questions have been modified to fit the answer. And the answers are edited for brevity and clarity.

So, here’s what Aidan had to say on some of the most pressing issues.

Reporter: How are you going to make the decision that racing is safe on any given day?

Butler: I’m not prepared to put any more guesswork into this. We’ve got to start getting better as an industry at the actual data we can use. … Let’s base [decisions] on evidence so we know … because the more it’s open to interpretation, you’re in the same position as if you don’t know.

Q: But if jockeys come back after the first race and say it’s not safe is that not an interpretation?

A: That’s a real-life working example. When we’re racing, if anyone mentions it’s unsafe then it’s unsafe. I’m talking about when you have to call these things early before you actually know. When we make these decisions, I want to make sure they are rooted in data and science rather than people’s ideas.

Q: How do you plan to use the 12 flex days where you have to cancel racing?

A: It’s my understanding the 12 flex days are to be used to give us the ability to cancel for any reason, be it inclement weather or horse population. It hasn’t occurred to me to game the situation. If we’re not 100% sure it’s safe for the horses or rider than it’s not even a conversation as far as I’m concerned. I’m always going to err on the side of being overcautious.

Q: Where are you at on making your decision on synthetics?

A: This is a big conversation. There are very few viable synthetic companies in the States. Many have gone by the wayside and some are internationally based. The one that seems to work for us is Tapeta. That’s going to be the benchmark and the conversations around that will be will it work and stand up to climate in Southern California and especially Santa Anita. Dr. Mick Peterson and myself speak on what seems like a daily basis. He’s got some pretty good ideas and pretty good data sets that he believes will be applicable here. And he’ll be able to give much advice to us. My preference is to look at this as an industry group of not just the local guys but as many people as we can across the country.

Q: How much have you done hands-on exploration of Tapeta as an option?

A: Dr. Mick Peterson and Dr. Dionne Benson (chief veterinary officer for The Stronach Group) [and I] went to a Tapeta farm. We feel the latest iterations of Tapeta are far better than in the old versions. As a side note we have a real-world working example of Tapeta at Golden Gate. Everyone is real happy with it from the horsemen to track operations. We’re fairly confident it will be good. But again, I’ve got to make sure whatever we do is done absolutely right. As far as products go, Tapeta is the best one out there.

Q: It has been suggested you could test it by making it the training track?

A: That’s absolutely another option. Where I stand nothing is off the table as far as what corporate says. A lot of people like turf racing in which case a synthetic option could be on the training track or could be on the inside or outside [of the turf curse]. I think it’s a nice complement from the training aspect. I think you all know that synthetic tracks are a better training track for turf. Whatever we decide has to be done the right way. … It’s up to the whole industry to get it right once and for all. … It seems it’s been a little hit or miss, worked well in some places and not so well in others.

Q: But you’ve said Santa Anita is not afraid to go it alone.

A: Absolutely. You use all of the best advice that you can. And all of the best experts that you can. My job is to make sure that whatever we land as the final decision is the best one we can possibly make.

Who goofed, I’ve got to know?

It was me, of course. In Saturday’s newsletter I said that Roadster had run in the Del Mar Debutante. Obviously, I meant the Del Mar Futurity because he is a colt. But you knew that.

Del Mar review

Everyone, including me, was eager to see Roadster, but eager turned to anxious as the once promising colt finished fourth in the four-horse Grade 3 $100,000 Native Dancer Stakes for horses going 1 1/8 miles. The winner, under yet another smart ride from Victor Espinoza, won the race in a gate-to-wire runaway by 5 ¾ lengths.

It was Midcourt’s fourth win in seven starts for trainer John Shirreffs. Midcourt paid $7.60 and $4.40. Extra Hope was second and Two Thirty Five finished third.

Here’s what the winning connections had to say.

John Shirreffs (winning trainer): “It wasn’t the way I expected. I didn’t think they’d take off that soon and go to the lead. But Victor rode him great and he wanted to run today. He’s been training well but there’s always a step up they have to take in the afternoons. You hope there’s a realization then. He’s doing really well right now so we’ll go on to Santa Anita and see what we can do.”

Victor Espinoza (winning jockey): “The whole thing [Saturday] was I knew I had to let him do what he wants. He’s that kind of horse. I knew there wasn’t much speed in there today. And even though he’s never been on the lead in his races, I thought he might if he broke OK. He got out of there well and I gave him just a little encouragement and he went to the front. He was going so easy doing it, I knew when it came time he was really going to go.”

Del Mar preview

It’s a pretty decent card for a Sunday. There are nine races starting at 12:30 p.m. Five of the races are on the turf, there are four allowance/optional claimers and one stakes race. The stakes is the $100,000 Cary Grant for Cal-breds going seven furlongs. Any horse named Judy gets a free pass into the race. (Naw, just made that up.) If you don’t understand the joke listen to this. It’s the best thing in this newsletter, it’s got Andy, Gomer and Goober. And if you don’t know what that means, I give up on you. And if you don’t laugh, you can get this newsletter for free for six months.

OK, back to reality. The favorite in the Cary Grant is Fashionably Fast, at 8-5, for trainer Dean Pederson and jockey Tiago Pereira. This 4-year-old gelding has won his last three races, a couple of allowances at Del Mar and a stakes at Fresno. The second favorite, at 5-2, is Oliver (please sir, I want some more) for Doug O’Neill and Abel Cedillo. This 3-year-old colt has won a stakes at Los Alamitos and an allowance at Del Mar. Post time is around 4 p.m.

Here are the field sizes, in order: 8, 10, 8, 9, 8,12, 9, 6, 10.

Bob Ike’s Dmr pick of the day

THIRD RACE No. 5 Harmless (6-1)

Second-level allowance/optional claimer going one mile on turf and this sophomore filly from the Bob Hess stable might be able to take them all the way on the front end. There isn’t much pace signed up and she can be very tough on the front end even though some of her better efforts have been on the synthetic. If left alone long enough under Abel Cedillo should might not look back.

Saturday’s result: Seaside Dancer got away with a soft trip on the lead but was run down near the wire while just holding second in a three-way blanket finish.

Ed Burgart’s LA pick of the day

EIGHTH RACE: No. 3 You Can Run (5-2)

Whlle four-time winner Budderlicous deserves his 7-5 morning-line odds, I have been waiting for You Can Run to get more distance. He was loaded with late energy when second and fourth respectively after troubled starts in his first two outs and looked terrific in last rapid 330-yard victory. In last win, he scored head verdict over well-regarded Ain’t Working, who was coming off a terrific 12.0 gate drill. I suggest a win bet and exactas with #7 Budderlicous and #8 Five Bar Jackpot.

SAN DIEGO — 

A man who is suspected of shooting three Church’s Chicken employees, killing one of them, over a dispute about money was arrested Friday in Tennessee, San Diego police said.

Albert Lee Blake, 49, was taken into custody at a residence in Memphis, the U.S. Marshals Service said in a release. San Diego investigators who had reached out to federal marshals for help, confirmed the arrest.

“Investigators have been working around the clock since the night of the shooting, which led to a suspect being identified,” San Diego police said in a statement.

A warrant had been issued for Blake’s arrest, charging him with murder in the death of 28-year-old Maribel Merino Ibañez, police said. Investigators did not say how they came to suspect Blake was the shooter or how he was tracked to a city 1,800 miles away.

Authorities say Blake entered the restaurant in Otay Mesa on Nov. 6 and got into some sort of confrontation over money. A police officer and witnesses said the altercation involved a counterfeit $100 bill, but a Church’s employee who was there during the shooting said Ibañez had simply followed company policy by refusing to accept the $100 bill.

The man left but later returned with a gun and shot three workers — Ibañez and two men — from across the counter. An employee told the San Diego Union-Tribune that the gunman shot Ibañez first, then the men, then turned back to the wounded Ibañez on the floor and shot her again.

The gunman walked out and drove off in a blue car. Authorities released a photo of the car and a description of the suspect. Blake was arrested 16 days later.

Ibañez was a newlywed, just married on March 12 of this year, and had worked at the same Church’s location for about a decade.

Reached by phone Friday evening, husband Ramon Mendoza said knowing that Blake was in custody left him and others “a little bit more calm.”

“The good thing is they have him,” Mendoza said, speaking to the Union-Tribune in Spanish. “That’s what had me worried.”

He thanked the community for its support, and thanked authorities for pursuing the suspect.

“We’re going to wait and see if justice is served as it should be. We know it’s going to be a long process.”

With the arrest, Blake now faces extradition back to California. San Diego police referred questions to the county District Attorney’s Office, saying that a murder case had been filed.

SAN DIEGO — 

U.S. Navy Secretary Richard V. Spencer denied a New York Times report Saturday that he had threatened to resign or be fired if President Trump intervenes to stop an administrative review of a SEAL at the center of a botched war crimes court-martial.

Spencer delivered the denial from the Halifax International Security Forum in Nova Scotia, Canada, where he is a keynote speaker: “Contrary to popular belief, I am still here. I did not threaten to resign. We are here to talk about external threats, and Eddie Gallagher is not one of them.” The denial was also posted to his official Twitter account.

The comment bolstered other denials from Navy officials who told the San Diego Union-Tribune on Saturday that neither Spencer nor Rear Adm. Collin Green had threatened to resign, contrary to what the newspaper had reported hours earlier.

The report was based on comments from unnamed officials in the Trump administration, the New York Times said.

Earlier this week, Green, the commander of Naval Special Warfare Command, announced he would initiate “trident reviews” of four SEALs involved in a war crimes probe into the actions of SEAL Team 7’s Alpha Platoon during a 2017 deployment to Iraq. A trident review essentially determines whether a SEAL remains in the elite community.

The reviews were announced just days after Trump restored Navy SEAL Edward R. Gallagher to the rank of chief petty officer, overturning the sentence of the military jury in Gallagher’s San Diego court-martial this summer.

The decision to hold reviews was criticized as an affront to Trump’s authority as commander in chief by Gallagher’s media surrogates on Fox News and by his attorneys, Timothy Parlatore and Marc Mukasey.

On Thursday, Trump said in a tweet that the Navy will not be taking Gallagher’s SEAL trident pin, the gold insignia of the Navy SEALs.

Navy officials offered conflicting accounts on whether the reviews were suspended or proceeding.

The New York Times reported that the Navy may not consider Trump’s tweet an official order.

On Saturday, Spencer said he would need a formal order to stop a review of Gallagher, who could lose his trident pin and status as a Navy SEAL, according to the Associated Press.

“I need a formal order to act,” he said, referring to the tweet. “I don’t interpret them as a formal order.”

On Friday, the secretary told Reuters at the Halifax International Security Forum that he supports the hearing into whether Gallagher will be allowed to remain a SEAL, saying he believes the process matters for “good order and discipline.”

Parlatore, citing misconduct by a Navy lawyer and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service during Gallagher’s court-martial, told the Union-Tribune on Saturday that good order and discipline is no reason to disregard a “clear directive” from the commander in chief.

“The secretary should not be supporting [the review boards] when he has failed to ensure good order and discipline is applied across the board by holding [Navy] prosecutors and NCIS agents accountable for their criminal conduct in this case,” Parlatore said. “Additionally, [Spencer] should not be making statements like these on foreign soil.”

Rear Adm. Charlie Brown, the Navy’s chief spokesman, said Saturday that Spencer’s comments in Canada were in line with current White House guidance.

Parlatore said he thought Green should resign or be fired.

“At this point,” Parlatore said in a text message, “Green has demonstrated such a lack of leadership through his fixation on Eddie Gallagher and defiance of the president that he should resign or be fired.”

Gallagher was charged with killing a wounded Islamic State captive and shooting civilians during his time in Iraq in 2017. At the end of his court-martial, a jury acquitted him of the most serious allegations and convicted him of posing for photos with the body of the captive fighter.

A military jury sentenced Gallagher to four months’ confinement, which he served before trial, and reduced his rank to petty officer 1st class, or E-6.

Trump has intervened several times in the case, and Gallagher’s family members and advocates have made dozens of appearances on Fox News shows since the SEAL was charged in January.

Trump ordered Gallagher released from the Miramar brig in March, and tweeted his congratulations upon his acquittal of the most serious charges against him in July.
