It's funny because Murphy was gung-ho for an FBI investigation before Republicans moved to make it a reality. It's worth pointing out now, just in case you were wondering how unserious Democratic lawmakers are when they say they want a fair and thorough investigation of the allegations against Kavanaugh.
The House Judiciary Committee issued a subpoena Thursday for former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe's memos as well as the supporting documents the FBI used in its application to conduct surveillance on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. Republicans requested McCabe's memos from the Justice Department over the summer and were told they would not be shared, according to several lawmakers.
As the FBI and local authorities desperately search for a 6-year-old boy who went missing in a North Carolina park, investigators are using divers, helicopters, drones and the boy's parents' voices to try to find him. Maddox Ritch, 6, who has autism and does not talk, went missing Saturday while at the Rankin Lake Park in Gastonia with his family, police said.
Yale University classmate of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, is refusing to talk to the Senate Judiciary Committee about her accusation against Kavanaugh, a GOP lawmaker said Tuesday. Ramirez lawyer John Clune tweeted Tuesday that "We have been working hard to cooperate with the Senate Judiciary Committee...and they have refused to meet all scheduled appointments."
Missouri State Auditor Nicole Galloway, center, announced the results of her audit of the Callaway County Collector's Office on Monday. The audit discovered more than $300,000 in missing funds, she said.
President Donald Trump's decision to allow the Justice Department's inspector general to review documents related to the ongoing Russia probe is a smart step toward transparency in this lengthy, opaque investigation. Mr. Trump announced last week that he planned to unilaterally declassify the documents, including the secret court order to spy on former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
Homeowners can sleep a little better: property crime is down, according to a report released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation on Monday. Defined by the FBI as "burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson," property crime numbers dropped 3 percent between 2016 and 2017.
A stooped Arthur J. Perrault shuffled into federal court with a cane Friday, handcuffs dangling from his wrist, a security belly chain around his waist. The bearded priest - on American soil for the first time in more than two decades - told a U.S. magistrate judge that he'd had a stroke three years ago, was deaf in one ear, and had trouble walking and remembering.
The Latest on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and Christine Blasey Ford, who accuses him of sexually assaulting her decades ago : Top Democrats are asking President Donald Trump again to direct the FBI to investigate Christine Blasey Ford's claim that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when both were teenagers. Trump and Senate Republicans have repeatedly said an investigation is not necessary.
Juggling a suddenly hot-potato Supreme Court nomination and midterm-election jousting, President Donald Trump flubbed facts across a broad front over the past week. His comments about nominee Brett Kavanaugh's accuser betrayed a misunderstanding of how the process works.
The fate of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein could turn on whether President Donald Trump believes the account of an ex-FBI official who, as Trump once asserted in a tweet, had "LIED! LIED! LIED!" Rosenstein discussed secretly recording Trump, though one person who was present at the time said Rosenstein was just being sarcastic, and reportedly suggested removing the commander in chief from office. Rosenstein issued a swift denial to both claims.
The fate of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who discussed secretly recording President Donald Trump and possibly suggested removing him from office, could turn on whether Trump believes the account of an ex-FBI official who he once tweeted had "LIED! LIED! LIED!" The revelation that the No. 2 Justice Department official had even broached those ideas, sarcastically or not, creates greater uncertainty for Rosenstein's job status at a time when Trump has railed against law enforcement leadership as biased against him.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in spring 2017 suggested secretly recording President Trump and recruiting cabinet members to remove him from office, former FBI Acting Director Andrew McCabe wrote in memos at the time, assertions that Mr. Rosenstein disputed on Friday. One person in the room when Mr. Rosenstein mentioned secret recordings said that he was clearly sarcastic and didn't seriously consider it, according to an email from the person provided by the Justice Department on Friday.
The staggering revelations of memos documenting Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein's discussions of surreptitiously recording President Donald Trump and of the 25th Amendment raised fresh questions Friday about the eight-day stretch between the time former FBI Director James Comey was fired last year and Robert Mueller was appointed as special counsel to lead the Russia investigation. A vastly complex and somewhat divergent picture of key moments during that time has emerged based on what sources familiar with the events tell CNN.
And whether Christine Blasey Ford will tell her story to the Senate Judiciary Committee is still up in the air. As senators march closer to a scheduled vote Monday on Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Ford and her attorneys are still negotiating whether she will appear before the panel to testify about the alleged sexual assault by Kavanaugh.
As soon as Christine Blasey Ford came forward as the woman accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her when both were in high school, it felt like we were hurtling toward something women in this country have wanted for decades: a chance to fix what had gone so horribly wrong during the disastrous Anita Hill hearings of 1991. Statements from Senate Republicans-among them Jeff Flake, Susan Collins, and Lindsey Graham-forced Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley to grant Ford a public hearing.
Three young computer hackers, including a Louisiana man, whose "botnet" known as Mirai virtually paralyzed chunks of the internet two years ago have received light sentences after helping the FBI with cybercrime and cybersecurity. Dalton Norman, 22, of Metairie, Louisiana; Paras Jha, 22, of Fanwood, New Jersey; and Josiah White, 21, of Washington, Pennsylvania, were sentenced Tuesday to five years of probation and 62-1/2 workweeks of community service in U.S. District Court in Anchorage.
When Christine Blasey Ford went public on Sunday with her claim that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh attempted to rape her when they were in high school, a spokesman for Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley initially dismissed the "uncorroborated allegations" and indicated that the committee vote on the judge would occur on Thursday as planned. Party leaders only changed their tune after three of their own - Senators Jeff Flake, Bob Corker, and Lisa Murkowski - said the committee vote should be delayed to give Ford a chance to tell her story.
President Donald Trump has demanded the "immediate declassification" of sensitive materials about the Russia investigation, but the agencies responsible are expected to propose redactions that would keep some information secret, according to three people familiar with the matter. The Justice Department, FBI and Office of the Director of National Intelligence are going through a methodical review and can't offer a timeline for finishing, said the people, who weren't authorized to speak publicly about the sensitive matter.
