Only Named Source On Trump’s Leaking Of Classified Information Denies It

The Washington Post accused President Donald Trump of leaking “highly-classified information” in a recent meeting with Russian officials, but the only named source in the piece denies it.

Hillary’s New ‘Dark Money’ Group Allowed to Hide Donors

Hillary Clinton, whose failed presidential campaign was hampered by pay-for-play allegations, launched a “dark money” political organization on Monday that is exactly the kind of operation she promised to oppose as president.

GOP Rolled Back 14 of 15 Obama Rules Using Congressional Review Act

Republicans’ test-drive of a little-used regulatory review law is now over and party leaders say it was a smashing success, allowing Congress roll back 14 rules President Obama’s team issued at the end of his administration, for a savings of billions of dollars. The window for using the Congressional Review Act (CRA) to unravel Obama-era regulations closed last week, and the tool — which had previously been used just once, to attack a Clinton administration rule — has dominated the early going in the Trump administration. Obama rules including: teacher training, coal mining runoff and bear hunting in Alaska, have now been erased ...Read More
