US President Donald Trump has asserted without evidence that newly-released documents relating to the wiretapping of his former campaign adviser Carter Page "confirm with little doubt" that intelligence agencies misled the court that approved the warrant.

New York 's attorney general filed a lawsuit Thursday asking a court to shut down President Trump 's charitable foundation, accusing him of abusing the foundation to enrich himself and help his political campaign. Barbara Underwood brought the lawsuit in state court in New York against the Donald J.

In the next chapter of the latest saga, an aggrieved and allegedly "hunted" Trump demands "Justice" with a capital "J." Our Dear Royal Tangerine Water Balloon is DEMANDING, I SAY! the DOJ find out if there was a spy planted in his golden tower during the campaign.
Trump tweeted: "I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes - and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!" Trump has been promoting a theory circulating in conservative circles about a possible FBI spy on the campaign, though his attorney has cast doubt on it. Rudy Giuliani, who represents Trump in the ongoing special counsel's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, said in a television interview last week that neither he nor Trump knows for certain if there was a spy on the campaign.
The top Democrats on the Senate and House intelligence committees said Sunday Trump campaign officials may have committed a crime if a new report proves true: that three months before the 2016 election, President Trump's son met with two Arab princes and an Israeli political operative who offered to help his father win the presidential election. On Saturday, the New York Times reported that Donald Trump Jr. met on Aug. 3, 2016 with two wealthy princes, from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, along with Joel Zamel, an Israeli expert in "social media manipulation."
President Donald Trump started his Friday with a provocative tweet: "Reports are there was indeed at least one FBI representative implanted, for political purposes, into my campaign for president. It took place very early on, and long before the phony Russia Hoax became a 'hot' Fake News story.
Democratic primary voters have chosen decidedly liberal candidates in several closely watched congressional primary elections, a sign that the left is driving much of Democrats' enthusiasm and may be winning the tug of war with moderates over the direction of the party. In Omaha, Democrat Kara Eastman edged out veteran moderate Brad Ashford by casting herself as a progressive in Nebraska's lone urban district, supporting single-payer, government-run health insurance and a ban on assault weapons.
President Donald Trump pledged on Sunday to help Chinese phone manufacturer ZTE return to business, days after the company said it would cease "major operating activities" because of the U.S. government's recent trade restrictions, a dramatic shift in tone for a president who has long accused China of stealing U.S. jobs. "President Xi of China, and I, are working together to give massive Chinese phone company, ZTE, a way to get back into business, fast," Trump tweeted.
The New York Times' attacks on the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Devin Nunes, continued in Sunday's news section, under the byline of Nicholas Fandos and Katie Benner: "Wielding Threats, Nunes Attacks Justice Dept. " The text box featured typical liberal media weasel wording: "Some see an effort to weaponize documents and undermine the Russia inquiry."
Since Republicans on the House Intelligence Committee declared they had found no evidence of coordination between Russia's election interference and the Trump campaign, its chairman has decisively turned the panel's attention from investigation to investigators. The chairman, Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., has issued increasingly bold demands for access to some of the Justice Department's most sensitive case files.
In this March 29, 2018, file photo, the logo for Facebook appears on screens at the Nasdaq MarketSite in New York's Times Square. Democrats on the House intelligence committee have released more than 3,500 Facebook ads that were created or promoted by a Russian internet agency, providing the fullest picture yet of Russia's attempt to sow racial and political division in the United States before and after the 2016 election.
