As Donald Trump became only the third president in U.S. history to face impeachment and removal from office this week, Attorney General William Barr was in the United Kingdom, asking our top ally to provide information that can be used to attack and discredit American intelligence agencies that played a role in the Russia investigation […]
Earlier this year, when confronted with the hypothetical of what the U.S. Senate would do if the House of Representatives voted to issue articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and other top Senate GOP leaders made it sound like they would immediately kick such a motion off the […]
Despite his repeated assurances that he would not profit from being president, a new report from The Washington Post suggests those promises are, like nearly everything Donald Trump says, a lie.
