German Chancellor warns of 'serious' consequences if Russia threatens Ukraine

A top aide to Donald Trump gave testimony to the special counsel on his cavalier attitude around classified documents – and experts expect she'll be a "killer witness."

Molly Michael exposed Trump for writing "to-do" lists on the back of classified documents. She'd get scrawled notes and said she would flip them over and see "sensitive" markings that specifically had to do with world leaders and other issues.

Some of Donald Trump's critics have been cautioning journalists against treating the 2024 GOP presidential frontrunner like a "normal" candidate because he is anything but "normal."

Discussing Kristen Welker's interview with Trump for NBC News' "Meet the Press," the Los Angeles Times' Lorraine Ali warned, "Treating the former reality TV star like any other presidential candidate or victor before him assumes that he's playing by the same set of rules as his predecessors. News flash: He's not…. The sit-down may prove to be a ratings boon for the network, and perhaps even further boost Welker's career, but it failed to cut through the usual low-information bluster of past interviews with the former president."

House Republicans descended into a bitter feud during a closed-door meeting to discuss plans for funding the government Tuesday.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy canceled plans to hold a vote on the proposal later this week, leaving him without a plan in place to fund the government less than two weeks before a shutdown would begin Sept. 30 following the contentious meeting, reported CNN.
