Mary Esch The Associated Press When is "OK" not OK? Some West Point cadets and U.S. Naval Academy midshipmen flashed what looked like a sideways OK finger gesture during a live television broadcast over the weekend at the Army-Navy football game. Now military officials are probing their intentions. Was it an affirmation? An innocent made-you-look "circle game?" Or a sinister white supremacy signal? Screenshots and clips of the hand gestures captured by cameras at Saturday's ga...
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A winnowed field of Democratic presidential contenders takes the debate stage Thursday for a sixth and final time in 2019, as candidates seek to convince anxious voters that they are the party's best hope to deny President Donald Trump a second term next year. The televised contest ahead of Christmas will bring seven rivals to heavily Democratic California, the biggest prize in the primary season and home to 1-in-8 Americans. And, coming a day after a politically divided U.S. House voted to impeach the... Full story
BATTLE CREEK, Mich. (AP) — Defiant in the face of a historic rebuke, President Donald Trump labeled his impeachment by the House of Representatives on Wednesday "a suicide march" for the Democratic Party. "Crazy Nancy Pelosi's House Democrats have branded themselves with an eternal mark of shame," Trump told the crowd at a campaign rally in battleground Michigan, where he took the stage just minutes before becoming only the third president in U.S. history to be impeached. "It's a disgrace" It was a dramatic and discordant spl... Full story
We interrupt the holiday spirit to bring you the impeachment of a president. In festive haunts, buzzing stores and rush-hour frenzy, Americans absorbed the moment Donald Trump became only the third president branded with the mark of impeachment, the Constitution's gravest political indictment. Depending whom you ask in this deeply polarized country, Americans saw the House vote Wednesday night as a just expression of the nation's founding document, or a gross distortion of it. They saw Trump getting what he deserves, or... Full story

LISA MASCARO and MARY CLARE JALONICK Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump was impeached by the U.S. House of Representatives Wednesday night, becoming only the third American chief executive to be formally charged under the Constitution's ultimate remedy for high crimes and misdemeanors. The historic vote split along party lines, much the way it has divided the nation, over a charge that the 45th president abused the power of his office by enlisting a foreign government to investigate a political rival a...

The Associated Press Special to Valley News President Donald Trump made clear Monday that he intends to participate in at least three general election debates, but he is threatening to sidestep the nonprofit group charged with running them. "I look very much forward to debating whoever the lucky person is who stumbles across the finish line in the little watched Do Nothing Democrat Debates," Trump tweeted Monday morning, Dec. 16, after The New York Times reported that he was...
Andrew Taylor The Associated Press The Democratic-controlled House was voting Tuesday, Dec. 17, on a $1.4 trillion governmentwide spending package with an unusually large load of unrelated provisions on the must-do legislation. The package, some 2,313 pages long, was unveiled Monday as lawmakers prepared to wrap up reams of unfinished work against a backdrop of Wednesday's vote on impeaching President Donald Trump. The spending legislation would forestall a government...
Jeff Carlson The Epoch Times The congressional testimony by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz, Dec. 11, proved to be almost universally damning of the actions taken by the FBI, and despite ongoing efforts by Democrats, demolished the argument that the FBI engaged in proper conduct during its investigation of the Trump campaign. When asked if he would have submitted the Page FISA renewal applications using the information that the FBI employed, Horowitz resp...
Lisa Mascaro and Mary Clare Jalonick The Associated Press Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is rejecting the Democrats' push for fresh impeachment testimony against President Donald Trump and making a last-ditch plea for them to "turn back from the cliff" of Wednesday, Dec. 18's expected vote to send the case to the Senate for trial. McConnell's remarks Tuesday effectively slapped the door shut on negotiations for a deal proposed by the Democratic leader, Sen. Chuck...
