WASHINGTON (AP) — White House officials say a review of a classified Democratic memo on the Russia election meddling investigation will be completed no later than Thursday. The Democratic document is intended to counter a GOP memo that criticized methods the FBI used to obtain a surveillance warrant on a onetime associate of Donald Trump's presidential campaign. White House chief of staff John Kelly says Trump will be briefed on the memo after the review and then decide whether to declassify it. The dueling memos have set up a standoff between Trump and congressional Democrats and deepened partisan fights on the House intelligence panel.

  • Fate of Trump’s Cabinet picks unclear as Republicans prepare to take power in Senate
    Denver Post, Wednesday - 12/25/2024 - 07:18 AM

    WASHINGTON — The fate of President-elect Donald Trump’s Cabinet is still unclear after Republican senators spent much of December carefully dodging questions about Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ’s views on vaccines, accusations of sexual misconduct against Pete Hegseth and Tulsi Gabbard’s 2017 meeting with then-President Bashar Assad of Syria. While some GOP senators have indicated they are all-in for Trump’s picks, others have withheld support, for now, especially on some of his more controversial nominees.
