It should be clear by now: President Donald Trump believes he is above the law. It's apparent by his conduct in office and particularly related to the Russia investigation - helping manufacture "Deep State" conspiracy theories to undermine our law enforcement and intelligence institutions, concocting absurd spy stories with no merit, firing an FBI director for not letting things slide, belittling his attorney general for rightfully recusing himself from the probe and sending out his lawyer to act like they can dictate the terms of the investigation.
On his way to the G-7 Summit, President Trump spoke to reporters outside the White House and said, among other things, that he's considering a pardon for Muhammed Ali , who was convicted of evading the draft back in 1967. The only problem is, Ali doesn't need a pardon: Continuing to draw on his clemency powers, President Trump said Friday that he may soon pardon Muhammad Ali - a sentiment that a lawyer for the late boxer quickly said was appreciated but unnecessary.
That's what the North Dakota Democrat in one of the most Donald Trump-friendly states says, though it would seem she also doesn't have that luxury.

While President Donald Trump searches for a way to save America's coal country, some in his own party have their eyes set on what's arguably the exact opposite: making solar shine. Since taking office, Trump has worked to undo his predecessor's renewable energy-friendly policies, levied tariffs on imported solar equipment and signed tax reforms that depleted financing for clean energy projects.
Special counsel Robert Mueller has brought new obstruction charges against President Donald Trump's campaign chairman and a longtime associate who prosecutors have said has ties to Russian intelligence.

In Kim's attempt to unleash the economy and hold on to his dictatorship, he seems to be taking a lesson from China's Communist Party: change, or die. In the city of Pyongyang, the sanctum sanctorum of the Workers' Party of Korea, there are changes afoot that would have vexed Stalin.

President Donald Trump said Friday that he was inclined to support a bipartisan effort in Congress to ease the U.S. ban on marijuana, a proposal that would dramatically reshape the nation's legal landscape for pot users and businesses. The federal ban that puts marijuana on the same level as LSD and heroin has created a conflict with about 30 states that have legalized pot in some form, creating a two-tiered enforcement system at the state and federal levels.
