By The Associated Press February 02. 2016 7:08PM The Latest: Franklin Graham speaks with Oregon occupiers PORTLAND — The Rev. Franklin Graham has spoken with the remaining armed occupiers of a national wildlife refuge in Oregon. The Oregonian reports that a spokesman for Graham confirmed that he communicated by phone with the four occupiers and federal officials. Todd Shearer told the newspaper that Graham had no comment beyond that statement. The last four occupiers of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge had asked Graham to help them negotiate their departure. They have said they want assurances they won't be arrested. Group leader Ammon Bundy and others remain behind bars following arrests. The standoff began Jan. 2 as a protest over federal land-use policy. http://www.mailtribune.com/article/20160202/NEWS/160209912 © 2016 Copyright © 1995-2011 Crain Communications Inc.
