House Dems Say Russia Hacking Probe Needs Political 'Safeguards'

Description

Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee are demanding intelligence officials to put “safeguards” in place, to ensure an investigation into Russian hacking is free of political influence before President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration. The lawmakers claim Trump’s repeated dismissal of Russian hacking, along with his potential business investments in the country, could “threaten the impartiality” of an investigation while he’s President.

  • As Doors Slam All Around Him, Trump Spends Election Run-Up Ranting On Fox News

    US President Donald Trump appears to be running out of lifelines to save himself politically. CNN reports Trump had hoped a range of pivotal events would turn the electoral tide in his direction, but they're vanishing as quickly as Halloween candy. A coronavirus vaccine hasn't been created. Nor has a massive stimulus package materialized. And the investigation into the Clinton Foundation was a bust. So the president has taken to dialing Fox hosts from the White House and ripping his senior-most Cabinet members for not delivering before election day. It's an unfamiliar experience for a man used to getting what he wants. He is in a completely different universe right now where nobody is left, really, to help him out of the jams he keeps getting himself into.
