Senate sleuths focus on ex-State Department aide in Clinton email ‘cover-up’ Posted: 27 May 2016 12:47 PM PDT As Hillary Clinton seeks to rebound from a highly critical report from the State Department's inspector general, Senate investigators and a conservative group are zeroing in on newly revealed evidence about the activities of a now retired State Department computer specialist in orchestrating what they charge was a "cover-up" of the former secretary of state's email practices. The role of John Bentel, whose identity as a key figure in the email probes was first reported by Yahoo News on Wednesday, is expected to be one focus of questioning today when Clinton's former chief of staff, Cheryl Mills, is deposed in a lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch over the State Department's handling of Freedom of Information Act requests relating to Clinton's emails, according to a source close to the case.

G7 told to act on antibiotics as dreaded superbug hits U.S. Posted: 27 May 2016 09:19 AM PDT By Kylie MacLellan and Ben Hirschler ISE-SHIMA, Japan/LONDON (Reuters) - Britain told the G7 industrial powers on Friday to do more to fight killer superbugs as the United States reported the first case in the country of a patient with bacteria resistant to a last-resort antibiotic. U.S. scientists said the infection in a 49-year-old Pennsylvania woman "heralds the emergence of truly pan-drug resistant bacteria" because it could not be controlled even by colistin, an antibiotic reserved for "nightmare" bugs. In Japan, British Prime Minister David Cameron said leading countries needed to tackle resistance by reducing the use of antibiotics and rewarding drug companies for developing new medicines.

No new signal from EgyptAir jet since day of crash as search intensifies Posted: 27 May 2016 04:59 AM PDT CAIRO/PARIS (Reuters) - No new radio signal has been received from an EgyptAir jet since the day it crashed in the Mediterranean last week, sources close to the investigation said on Friday.

"There has been nothing since day one," a source familiar with the investigation said.

Ohio to make first-offense pet cruelty a felony with ‘Goddard's Law’ Posted: 26 May 2016 05:46 PM PDT A puppy from an Ohio shelter is unloaded from the "Welcome Waggin'," a transportation service that takes animals from crowded shelters to uncrowded ones, at the Washington Animal Rescue League in Washington, on Aug. 25, 2009. Ohio lawmakers just passed a law that would make it a fifth-degree felony to knowingly harm a pet by inflicting pain or depriving it of food, water, or shelter – for a first offense. Sponsored by Reps. Dave Hall (R-Millersburg) and Bill Patmon (D-Cleveland), the bill was nicknamed Goddard's Law after Dick Goddard, a Cleveland weatherman who has advocated for strengthening the penalties against animal abusers for years.

What Obama should do on torture Posted: 26 May 2016 02:41 AM PDT Like a lot of two-term presidents nearing the last bend in the road, Barack Obama seems guided by equal parts conviction and whimsy these days, without much regard for political consequence. The president has expounded publicly on race and political civility, shaken hands with a Cuban Castro, commuted a slew of sentences for drug offenders, plunged the federal government into the debate over transgender Americans in restrooms. Obama clearly isn't going to declassify the full text of the Senate's mammoth, landmark report on torture, and maybe that's the right call — I don't know.

Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., the chairman of the committee investigating the 2012 attack on American diplomats in Benghazi, immediately issued a statement saying the findings vindicate his panel's efforts.

Democrats, seeking unity, give Sanders say in party platform Posted: 24 May 2016 08:11 PM PDT By Jonathan Allen NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Democratic Party said on Monday it would give U.S. presidential contender Bernie Sanders a prominent say in writing its platform this year, a gesture that could ease tensions between Sanders' camp and party leaders, whom Sanders has accused of favoring rival Hillary Clinton. Sanders has remained steadfast in his long-shot battle with Clinton for the Democratic nomination for the Nov. 8 presidential election, even though he lags her in the delegate count with only a few state contests remaining. The divisiveness among the Democrats stands in contrast to the Republicans, whose party leaders are slowly rallying behind Donald Trump, their presumptive nominee.

Trump moneyman’s shady history Posted: 24 May 2016 07:36 PM PDT One of six vice-chairs of the "Trump Victory Leadership Team," a joint fund-raising effort announced Tuesday by the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee, pled guilty in 2009 to criminal charges involving bribes paid to top New York State officials. Elliott Broidy, a Los Angeles venture capitalist, was charged with showering nearly $1 million on gifts and favors on state officials as part of a scheme to win more than $250 million in state pension investments for the venture capital firm he then headed, Markstone Capital. He pled guilty to a felony charge of rewarding state official misconduct and faced a four-year prison term.  But the charge was downgraded to a misdemeanor, allowing him to escape jail time, after he cooperated in the state's investigation, resulting in the 2010 conviction of then state Comptroller Alan G. Hevesi. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

"I'm not sure it's a good thing to do that," Fox News host Bill O'Reilly told Trump on Monday night, hours after the Instagram ad was posted.
