House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-California, tried again to clean up remarks he made that seemed to suggest the work of the select committee investigating Benghazi was political, and that it had a role in Hillary Clinton s falling poll numbers.

Mo stanley quencher neyWatch By naming a woman known as one of America s toughest federal prosecutors to head the Securities and Exchange Commission, President Obama seems to be sending a clear signal to Wall Street that it s no longer business as usual. Cynics can be forgiven for saying such a move comes four years too late. White was the U.S. attorney in Manhattan for almost a decade, and before that an assistant U.S. attorney working with then U.S. Attorney Rudolph Giuliani. She prosecuted terrorists, including the perpetrators of the stanley thermos first World Trade Center Bombings in 1993, mobsters such as John Gotti and financial sector fraudsters. White has also worked the other side of Wall Street. She has been serving as head of litigation at Debevoise Plimpton, a top corporate law firm where she has represented clients such as Ken Lewis, the former CEO of Bank of America BAC . Her husband, John White, is himself no stranger to the revolving door: He headed the SEC s corporate finance section from 2006 to 2008 under former SEC Chairman Christopher Cox and is now a partner at another top corporate law firm, Cravath, Swaine Moore.

President Trump s former chief of staff, Reince Priebus, is calling a new book slamming the president a cheap way to make money and suggesting that the anonymous author of A Warning, who claims to be a current or former senior T stanley flasche rump administration official, was not involved in high-level conversations. No one knows to what extent this person actually knows what they re talking about, Priebus said in an interview with CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett. There s no way to judge the veracity of what this person is saying. I don t think it s a senior person in the sense of what Americans think as senior, he told Garrett in this Thanksgiving-week episode of The Takeout podcast.

DENVER With several hours yet before the Democratic convention kicks off, John McCain s campaign is taking advantage of the calm before tonight s big event to find ways to insert itself into the media spotlight.McCain s campaign announced it will air a new ad tonight in which he will speak on-camera directly to Democratic nominee Barack Obama. The campaign will not comment on the substance of the ad but McCain communications director Jill Hazelbaker told MSNBC this morning it is a historic ad. I think this is the first of its kind, Hazelbaker said. Senator McCain is going to speak direct to camera to Barack Obama. I m not going to give away many more details than that. But suffice to say it s going to be a very exciting ad, and I think it s going to get a lot of attention. Meanwhile, speculation continues to swirl over the timing of McCain s vice presidential announcement.

Ddtk Biden administration scraps plans to house tender age migrant children at Texas Army base
In his first address to Congress, President Trump on Tuesday night talked about his plans for immigration, enhanced vetting procedures and taking on radical Islamic terrorism, but he left one major national security issue out of his speech -- cybersecurity.

I didnrsquo;t hear anything about cybersecurity which I think is one of the most critical national security issues that we face right now, McCaul said.

Trump said he would order a thorough review of cyber defenses and weaknesses and he said that cyberattacks from foreign governments including China, Russia and North Korea constitute one of our most critical national security concerns.His comments came before the U.S. intelligence community concluded in a report released in early January that Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered a campaign involving covert intelligence operations and overt propaganda to undermine faith in the U.S. election, disparage Hillary Clinton and help Mr. Trumprsquo electio Tfek Supreme Court won t reinstate Biden administration s latest student loan forgiveness plan for now

A group of media organizations, including CBS News, is demanding access to a tranche of surveillance and police videos from the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol that U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy provided to Fox News ho stanley cup usa st Tucker Carlson. In a letter to congressional leadership Friday, the media companies argue the footage McCarthy allowed Carlson and Fox News to access should be made available to stanley tumblers other media groups.The letter was sent on behalf of CBS News, CNN, Politico, ProPublica, ABC, Axios, Advance, Scripps, the Los Angeles Times and Gannett. Without full public access to the complete historical record, there is concern that an ideologically-based narrative of an already polarizing event will take hold in the public consciousness, with destabilizing risks to the legitimacy of Congress, the Capitol Police, and the various federal investigations and prosecutions of January 6 crimes, wrote attorney Charles Tobin.McCarthy s office has not responded to multiple requests for comment from CBS News about the reported release of more than 41,000 hours of police footage t botella stanley o Fox News.

The Georgia Supreme Court on Monday restored the state s six-week abortion ban,halting a judge s rulinga week ago that the six-week ban is unconstitutional and abortions could continue past six weeks.The six-week ban will remain in place while Georgia s highest court considers the state s appeal.That means that for now, abortions will not be allowed in Georgia beyond six weeks of pregnancy, often before many women are aware that they re pregnant. After the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wadein 2022, a law went into effect in Georgia prohibiting most abortions once cardiac activity is detected, which is typically around six weeks. The abortion debate has been working its way through Georgia courts ever since.Last week, Fulton County Superior stanley mug Court Judge Robert McBurney, in striking down the six-week ban, wrote in his order that while the State s interest in protecting unborn life is compelli stanley cup ng, until that life can be sustained by the State ... the balance of rights favors the woman. Georgia Gov.

Protecting the lives of the most vulnerable among us is stanley taza one of our most sacred responsibilities, and Georgia will continue to be a place where we fight for the lives of the unborn.

Herman Cain has been on a roller coaster ride for the past few months.

Lawmakers moved closer Thursday to an stanley quencher agreement on a scaled-back bipartisan compromise providing a fresh $10 billion to combat COVID-19, a deal that could set up f stanley mug inal congressional approval next week.The price tag has been reduced from an earlier $15.6 billion agreement between the two parties that collapsed weeks ago after House Democrats rejected cutting unused pandemic aid to states to help pay for it. President Joe Biden had requested $22.5 billion in early March. With leaders hoping to move the package through Congress quickly, the lowered cost seemed to reflect both parties calculations that agreeing quickly to additional savings would be too diffi stanley cup cult.The effort, which would finance steps like vaccines, treatments and tests, comes as Mr. Biden and other Democrats have warned the government is running out of money to counter the pandemic.

In the wake of a bombshell report that President Trump instructed his former fixer to lie to Congress about a Moscow real estate project, House Democrats vowed Friday to investigate the unprecedented allegations of the greatest magnitude. We will do what s necessary, pledged House Intelligence Committee chair Adam Schiff, D-Calif., on Friday.President Trump s legal team called the report categorically false, the president himself accusing Cohen of lying to reduce his jail time. But the White House denials did little to assuage Democrats, some who fear President Trump could move to undermine an investigation he has long labeled a witch hunt, despite attorney general nominee William Barr s assurances this week to protect the probe. During his testimony Tuesday, Barr said it was unlikelyhe d release special counsel Robert Mueller s full report to the public.

One agency would be charged with inspecting oil rigs, investigating oil companies and enforcing safety regulations, while the other would oversee leases for drilling and collection of billions of dollars in royalties.Currently, the Minerals Management Service, an arm of the Interior Department, is responsible for collecting more than $10 billion a year from oil and gas drilling and with enforcing laws and regulations that apply to drilling operations. Some critics have said the two roles are in conflict and are one reason the agency has long been accused of being too cozy with the oil and natural gas industry.An administration official said Salazar has the authority to split up the agency but is likely to propose other changes Tuesday that would require congressional approval.
