Sally Yates didn't bring a smoking gun to the latest episode of the long-running political melodrama entwining the White House and Russia.

" The Republican Party will be rewarded for doing "what's right" by voting to overhaul a "failing and collapsing" health care system, a top aide to President Donald Trump asserted as Democrats and at least one outside group began laying the groundwork to challenge the GOP for control of the House in the 2018 midterm election.
