Donald Trump's belief that the presumption of innocence is irrefutable if one of his associates is involved is rather, ah, selective: A pretty good indicator that there's something unusual about Trump's sudden interest in legal procedure is how incongruent it is with his political strategy. Trump plays offense.
President Donald Trump thrust himself into the national debate over sexual misconduct, asserting on Saturday that "a mere allegation" could destroy the lives of those accused, as his own White House was engulfed by claims of abusive behavior.

In 2009, I met and became friends with Steele, after he retired from British government service focusing on Russia. Steele was providing business intelligence on the same kinds of issues I worked on at the time.

The White House communications director, Hope Hicks, has come under fire as she emerges at the center of a pair of major news stories - the kinds she had eluded in her nearly three years at the top levels of President Donald Trump's orbit. Late last month, The New York Times reported that Mark Corallo, a former spokesman for the president's legal team, planned to tell Robert Mueller, the special counsel investigating Russia's election interference, about a previously undisclosed phone call involving Trump and Hicks.
More specifically: The GOP-passed tax plan that led companies to announce bonuses that House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi dismissed as "crumbs" compared with "the bonus that corporate America received" may be popular enough that it can lessen the danger of Republicans being wiped out by a blue wave in this year's midterm elections. Near Cincinnati on Monday, President Donald Trump compared Pelosi's "crumbs" comment to Hillary Clinton referring to half of Trump's supporters as belonging in a "basket of deplorables" during the 2016 presidential election.

In Nevada, no official reason was given for the recalls, and none was required.

The wonder of this question is that it's being asked at all - and especially, as Politico reports , by Democrats themselves.

Until very recently, that had been the conventional wisdom and Democrats had absolutely convinced themselves of it.
A Justice Department official who helped oversee the controversial probes of Hillary Clinton 's use of a private email server and Russian interference in the 2016 election stepped down this week.

President Trump has a sure way of getting a reaction from many in the media. He reminds me of my son's cat who knows how to make me mad by simply walking into my home office every time I need a few quiet moments.
In an interview this week, former San Antonio Mayor Julin Castro gave the strongest indication yet that he's interested in running for president in 2020.
