Pelosi staffer pumps the brakes when pressed on husband's hit-and-run: 'That's enough'
https://ift.tt/LWTykHa

House Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi , D-Calif., declined to answer repeated questions Friday about her husband's hit-and-run case before a staffer abruptly stepped-un to put an end to the exchange. "Ok, that's enough. That's enough!" the staffer raised her voice after Fox News Digital asked the lawmaker about the latest drama with her husband, Paul Pelosi. The brief exchange came nearly two weeks after California authorities recommended that Paul face a misdemeanor hit-and-run charge stemming from a July 3 crash in Yountville, California. FORMER US ATTORNEY CHARGED WITH FELONY HIT-AND-RUN AFTER HOUSTON CRASH, POLICE SAY Napa County Sheriff's Office investigators said the 86-year-old was driving a convertible when it collided with a legally parked Tesla, which was unoccupied. The impact caused substantial damage to both vehicles, and witnesses told deputies the car briefly stopped before leaving the area. However, Paul did not call the police. He was later loc...

'A big effing deal': Graham's final mission moves forward after his death
https://ift.tt/C4RPfiM

Of the many political crusades the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., undertook, few were as front of mind for him than crippling Russia’s war machine in its conflict with Ukraine. Yet during the last year-and-a-half of President Donald Trump’s second term, momentum behind a bone-crushing sanctions package against Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin would start and stop, with hopes rising and falling for its proponents every few months. Earlier this year, Graham had similarly gotten a green light from the White House for a different iteration of the package. SENATE DEMS DRAW RARE LINE AGAINST MUST-PASS PENTAGON BILL "It's never going back on the shelf because President Trump believes he needs it," Graham told Fox News Digital at the time. "I think he needs it." Hours before his death, he again got confirmation that the White House supported his and Sen. Richard Blumenthal’s, D-Conn., latest offering. "Senator Graham and I were told, very autho...

Trump reveals when US military will leave Iraq after 23-year mission
https://ift.tt/omRpWiO

President Donald Trump said Tuesday the United States no longer believes it needs a military presence in Iraq, arguing Iran has been weakened enough for Baghdad to stand on its own as the U.S.-led coalition mission approaches its planned Sept. 30 conclusion. Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi echoed that vision, declaring that armed factions operating outside state control would have "no justification" once the coalition mission concludes and insisting Iraq's security forces would be capable of protecting the country on their own. Al-Zaidi said limiting weapons to the state was "a decision, not an option." Trump said the U.S. partnership with Iraq would shift away from military cooperation toward investment and energy development, while al-Zaidi said: "The 30th of September, the U.S. forces would be out of Iraq. While U.S. companies will be inside Iraq ." TRUMP ADMIN WARNS IRAQ OVER IRAN TERROR PROXIES AS US REPORTEDLY BLOCKS CASH PAYMENTS "We don...
