The congressional panel investigated Russia’s efforts to influence America’s 2016 election by spreading false information through social media campaigns. The conclusions reaffirmed past findings by the intelligence community, which detiled how Russia sought to influence the election’s outcome by “harming Hillary Clinton’s chances of success and supporting Donald Trump at the direction of the Kremlin.” “The Committee recommends that the Executive Branch should, in the run up to the 2020 election, reinforce with the public the danger of attempted foreign interference in the 2020 election,” the committee’s report stated....

Khamenei and Iranian leaders have repeatedly vowed to exact revenge against Trump after he ordered a January 2020 air strike to kill Iranian Lt. General Qasem Soleimani. The Khamenei account @KhameneiSite last week shared the animated video, classifying it as the best entry into a competition to commemorate the two-year anniversary of the military leader’s assassination at the orders of the former U.S. president. “The account referenced has been permanently suspended for violating our ban evasion policy,” a Twitter spokesperson confirmed to Newsweek on Saturday....

Despite the numerous investigations surrounding the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, Trump remains popular with large swaths of the GOP—and he continues to wield his power by endorsing candidates who embrace his brand of politics while adding pressure to elected officials to fall in line with his positions or risk facing the wrath of his loyal supporters. His influence was on full display over the weekend at the Conservative Political Action Conference, where his rhetoric and leadership echoed across other Republican attendees, many of whom offered praise for the former president....

On Cohen’s YouTube podcast Mea Culpa, he spoke with former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner about the classified documents that were seized from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, over the summer. “I believe he was going to use it for two things, one to extort the United States government in these indictments and potential incarcerations by stating, ‘I have documents that involve national security, and that are detrimental to the national security of the country,’” Cohen said....

Shortcut To The Fox Shrine After unlocking the sword and ringing the bell in the Eastern Belltower, players will find themselves back on the eastern edge of the Overworld....

The trucker protests—or “Freedom Convoy”—began in Ottawa in late January. The movement rallied supporters against vaccine mandates for truckers implemented in Canada and led to the convoy blocking the Ambassador Bridge, a key border crossing between the U.S. and its ally to the north. Right-wing groups have jumped behind the movement, with many staunchly pro-Trump Republicans expressing support for the convoy. During a Saturday morning interview with Fox News, Trump commented on the movement and suggested the U....

These new directives may be connected to Trump’s projection of reopening businesses in the U.S. toward the beginning of April, a deadline some say would be too early. “My Administration is working to publish new guidelines for State and local policymakers to use in making decisions about maintaining, increasing, or relaxing social distancing and other mitigation measures they have put in place,” Trump’s letter read. “This is what we envision: Our expanded testing capabilities will quickly enable us to publish criteria, developed in close coordination with the Nation’s public health officials and scientists, to help classify counties with respect to continued risks posed by the virus,” the letter continued....

Talks between Republicans and Democrats about the details of a new stimulus package have been at a standstill for months. The U.S. Senate was adjourned after Monday’s swearing-in of new U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett and is not expected to reconvene until after Election Day. Lawmakers could be asked to return to Washington, D.C. to vote on a new act if an agreement is reached. Trump blamed Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for the breakdown in discussions on Tuesday, implying that her behavior would lead to the election of multiple Republicans....

Trump has increasingly focused blame on China for the pandemic amid criticism that his own actions may have helped the virus ravage the U.S. on a scale greater than anywhere else in the world. The campaign cited the Chinese government’s early efforts to cover up knowledge of the virus. “China has been lying and doing everything they can to cover up the spread of COVID-19 in their country. It’s absolutely disgraceful and we can’t stand by and do nothing,” the email reads....

During a White House press conference on Sunday morning, Trump announced the death of al-Baghdadi, who detonated a suicide vest as he was being cornered by U.S. forces in a northwest Syria operation on Saturday.

The roots of the conflict stretch back decades, but Trump’s time in office and his withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action—a.k.a. the Iran nuclear deal—and subsequent Iranian activity have given the historic animosity a shot in the arm. Trump and his supporters have claimed this month’s brinkmanship as a win, at least in the short term. A notorious Iranian general has been removed from the battlefield with the loss of no American lives....
