WASHINGTON ― President Donald Trump on Monday continued to assail the multiple investigations into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, calling out his attorney general, Jeff Sessions, ahead of private testimony this week from members of Trump’s family and inner circle. In one of a series of Monday morning tweets, the president wondered why the various investigations into Moscow’s election interference were not “looking into Crooked Hillarys [sic] crimes & Russia relations.” Trump singled out “our beleaguered A.G.” Jeff Sessions, who previously recused himself from the Russia investigations, citing his role in Trump’s campaign, and after failing to disclose meetings with then-Russian ambassador…

New White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci and President Donald Trump’s personal attorney Jay Sekulow attempted some damage control Sunday following the president’s claim about his power to pardon, saying the issue is not under discussion. Trump on Saturday asserted he has “complete” power to pardon, following a Washington Post report that he had asked his advisers about his ability to do so for his aides, his family and himself as the Justice Department’s probe continues into whether his campaign colluded with Russian officials to influence the 2016 election. Scaramucci, appearing on CNN’s “State of the Union,” said that the pardons issue isn’t under…
(CNN) — A group of Florida teens who taunted a drowning man while filming his death from afar will not be criminally charged, according to police. In the more than two-minute long video, the five teen boys — who are between the ages of 14 and 16 — can be heard laughing as the man struggles to stay afloat, police say, in a pond near his family’s Cocoa, Florida, home. Instead of calling for help, the teens recorded the incident on a cell phone, chuckling during the victim’s final moments. The teens can be heard warning the man that he…
WCCO-TV reports that Valerie Castile and Don Damond, whose loved ones died in separate Minnesota police shootings, met Thursday night outside Damond’s Minneapolis home before a rally for his fiance. “We’re just here to support the family, that’s all,” Valerie told WCCO-TV. Former St. Anthony, Minnesota police Officer Jeronimo Yanez killed Castile’s son, Philando Castile, in 2016 during a routine traffic stop. And on July 15, an officer shot Justine Damond (who had already changed her last name from Ruszczyk) after she called 911 to report a suspected sexual assault outside her home. ABC News said a large crowd met outside Damond’s home before joining the hundreds who gathered at a…
WASHINGTON ― White House press secretary Sean Spicer resigned his position on Friday after the communications director job he wanted was given to Anthony Scaramucci, the self-promoting hedge fund cable news talker. This was the line in the sand for Spicer ― not the near-daily humiliations he allowed himself to be subjected to in defending his boss, President Donald Trump. Spicer’s infamous turn as press secretary began with perhaps the most obvious lie ever told in the West Wing briefing room. On the first full day of Trump’s presidency, Spicer marched out to the lectern in an ill-fitting suit and insisted that the…
