The man suspected of ramming a car into a crowd of counter demonstrators at a white-nationalist rally, killing one and injuring more than a dozen others, was facing multiple charges on Sunday morning, including second-degree murder.

US President Donald Trump is facing one of his biggest domestic challenges yet after a white nationalist rally in Virginia turned violent, killing one person and injuring more than 30.

The interstate highway system , authorized by Congress in 1956, made it possible to zoom across America's wide-open spaces with unprecedented speed and convenience. But cities paid a terrible price for all that new mobility.
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., the former Democratic National Committee chairwoman known in political circles as DWS, is knee-deep in a scandal that involves a laptop, money and possible foreign entanglements.

But the president's initial response quickly appeared outdated when a Dodge Charger plowed into pedestrians, killing one woman, and injuring at least nine others. Just over an hour later, during televised remarks about a bill signing that had already been on his daily schedule, Trump addressed the intensifying situation in Charlottesville, which had been steadily covered on cable news outlets throughout the day.
For all Donald Trump's flightiness and lack of ideological moorings, in one regard at least, the guy is reasonably steadfast: If Barack Obama supported something, he wants to blow it up or roll it back. Save for filling Antonin Scalia's Supreme Court seat-which, really, should count more as a win for Mitch McConnell-arguably 45's most noteworthy feat thus far has been his dogged quest to unravel his predecessor's legacy.
In 2001, Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott got a dozen Democrats to vote for tax cuts sought by President George W. Bush. Now, for the tax plan backed by President Trump, the most Democratic votes Sen. Mitch McConnell could hope for is three.

Col. David "Wil" Riggins, after a highly decorated Army career that included multiple tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, was on the verge of promotion to brigadier general in July 2013 when he got a phone call at the Pentagon from the Army's Criminal Investigative Division to come in for a meeting. Once there, he learned that a blogger in Washington state had just accused him of raping her, when both were cadets at West Point in 1986.
His comments drew swift reactions. Democrats and some Republicans called on him to specifically denounce white supremacy and racially motivated hate by name.
