Flanked by a trio of Republican congressmen, President Donald Trump ventured to his native New York on Wednesday to accuse Democrats of coddling violent gangs and being soft on immigration and provided one of the members with a photo-op as he fends off a tough primary foe. One week after a White House event led to an extensive back and forth of the president's use of the term "animals" to describe, depending on whom was interpreting, MS-13 gang members or undocumented immigrants writ large, the trio of New York House Republicans - Peter T. King , Dan Donovan , and Lee Zeldin - showed no reluctance to being seen with Trump as they participated in the Bethpage, N.Y., roundtable.
Instead, the two officials said, the FBI and CIA gathered intelligence from a number of people as they began their investigation of Russia's interference in the U.S. election.
A New York congressional candidate given permission Thursday to use campaign funds for child care expenses called the decision by federal officials "a game changer" for mothers as a record number of women run for office. The Federal Election Commission voted 4-0 to allow the expenditure by Liuba Grechen Shirley, who is running in a Democratic primary in the Long Island district currently represented by Republican Rep. Peter King.
Patrick Conroy, chaplain of the House of Representatives, delivers an interfaith message on the steps of the Capitol in Washington for the victims of the mass shooting ... WASHINGTON - The embattled chaplain of the U.S. House of Representatives has won his job back just hours after sending a scalding letter to House Speaker Paul Ryan that accused a top Ryan staff aide of telling him "something like 'maybe it's time that we had a Chaplain that wasn't a Catholic.' " Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican, forced Reverend Pat Conroy to tender his resignation last month, sparking a firestorm.
An ongoing Capitol drama over the fate of the House chaplain ended as quickly as it had escalated on Thursday, with Rev. Patrick Conroy rescinding his resignation and Speaker Paul Ryan accepting his decision.
Even some Republican members of Congress, such as Rep. Peter King of New York, are upset about the firing of the Rev. Patrick Conroy, a Jesuit, as House chaplain.
Irate Democrats erupted Friday over House Speaker Paul Ryan's move to oust the House chaplain, saying Ryan hasn't offered any explanation and charging that Rev. Patrick Conroy's political leanings contributed to his dismissal.
Embroiled in a new legal dispute after an FBI raid earlier this month, President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, has dropped a $100 million defamation lawsuit filed against BuzzFeed news, and the head of the opposition research firm Fusion GPS, which spearheaded the development of the Steele Dossier, paid for by Democrats in 2016, which made accusations of ties between Russia and President Donald Trump. "Michael Cohen hereby voluntarily dismissed the above-entitled action as to all named Defendants without costs to any party as against the other," Cohen's lawyers stated in a one page filing with a federal court in New York.
A quiz: If a bipartisan majority of House members wants votes on a subject that gets sky-high public support, why do they seem likely to fail? And why are they pushing it regardless? Here's some help: It's the politically loaded issue of helping "Dreamer" immigrants. And it's an election year.

The deal was struck last week in an ornate room just off the House floor, where two New Yorkers discussed a big infrastructure project in their home town as dignitaries milled around a St. Patrick's Day luncheon. President Donald Trump's message to Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., was simple, King recounted Thursday: Federal money would flow to the $30 billion Gateway project, but Trump had to be in control.
For months, President Trump's legal advisers implored him to avoid so much as mentioning the name of Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, in his tweets, and to do nothing to provoke him or suggest his investigation is not proper. Ignoring that advice over the weekend was the decision of a president who ultimately trusts only his own instincts, and now believes he has settled into the job enough to rely on them rather than the people who advise him.
Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao Tuesday acknowledged that President Donald Trump has asked Speaker Paul Ryan to block funding for a multi-billion dollar railway tunnel project that's a top priority of the Senate's top Democrat. In contentious exchanges with several lawmakers, Chao told a House committee Tuesday that Trump indeed is intervening to try to kill the project.
