Former Vice President Joe Biden on Tuesday said he would advise President Trump against interviewing with special counsel Robert Mueller if he were one of his lawyers, given the likelihood of Trump making false statements to investigators. “You are in a situation where the president has some...

Trump hired the people he now believes are out to get him. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein was America’s longest-serving district attorney, a one-time nominee to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, and a part of the Office of the Independent Counsel under Ken Starr, tasked with...

After more than five decades of reasonably virtuous living, I’m now told that I have betrayed my country and committed the ultimate crime. I did not clap during President Trump’s State of the Union address. Granted, my hands were otherwise engaged. They pounded my laptop’s keyboard as I...

The House Intelligence Committee voted unanimously Monday evening to make public the Democratic memo rebutting GOP allegations that the FBI abused surveillance laws, the committee's top Democrat said, a move that will put the issue back on President Donald Trump's desk this week. The classified...

Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee are likely to vote Monday evening to make public the Democratic memo rebutting GOP allegations that the FBI abused surveillance laws, a move that will put the issue back on President Donald Trump's desk this week.

The "revised" Nunes memo, and further revelations about Russian involvement with Trump staffers has started to erode republican support for Trump. Rep. Chris Stewart, R-Utah, said the memo doesn’t end the need for the Mueller investigation. “I think it would be a mistake for anyone to suggest...

The much-anticipated Nunes memo, released Friday after weeks of feverish build-up on the far-right, appears to be a dud. The declassified report accuses a group of current and former Justice Department and F.B.I. officials—including James Comey, his former deputy Andrew McCabe, and current...

Shannon’s departure means Tillerson has another high-level opening at the department, which has been hobbled by delays in White House approval of proposed appointees, efforts to cut its budget as much as 30 percent and Tillerson’s slow-moving reorganization plan. Without Shannon, only two out...

President Donald Trump again keyed in on crowd size, this time claiming that the 45.6 million who watched the State of the Union address was the “highest number in history.” It’s not. President Barack Obama’s first State of the Union in 2010 drew 48 million viewers, and Bill Clinton and George...

Why worry about Russia’s efforts to undermine our democratic system or possible obstruction of justice by the President when there’s a “secret society” within the FBI, a deep state attempting a coup and a Satanist plot to sell your children? As special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation...
