The event which according to many democrats cost Hillary Clinton the election (aside from Putin personally hacking the brains of several million middle-class Americans and forcing them to vote against Hillary, of course) is finally getting closure. On Thursday, the FBI turned over 7,000 new documents from Anthony Weiner’s private laptop to the State Department as part of a Judicial Watch's freedom of information act lawsuit related to last year's Hillary Clinton email case.

Britain's Labour party has joined with a group of US 9/11 survivors in demanding UK Prime Minister Theresa May release a government report detailing the flow of money from Saudi Arabia into extremist groups in the UK. After several months of heated debate, Home Secretary Amber Reid announced that the study would not be made public "because of the volume of personal information it contains and for national security reasons."

For months now, many have speculated that Obama's former National Security Advisor, Susan Rice, was the controversial figure behind all the unmaskings of Trump associates in the waning days of Obama's final term in the White House.  That said, new details seem to suggest that Rice's successor as U.N.

The Trump administration is mulling over sanctions against senior Venezuelan government officials, and additional measures could include sanctions against the country’s oil industry, such as halting imports into the U.S., according to senior Washington officials who spoke to media.

Despite years of gridlock, this year's legislative achievements are de minimus to say the least, and according to at least one congressman, it's all Trump's fault.

As The Hill reports, Rep. Mike Simpson (R-Idaho) says President Trump and his family are a “distraction” from the GOP's attempts to enact its legislative agenda.

Simpson on Wednesday told Politico that he doesn’t “even pay any attention to what is going on with the administration because I don't care.”
