Chairman schiff introducing formally new sweeping legislation to deal with exactly this. My reason for being here is as simple as the title: protecting our democracy act. It shouldn t matter who the president of the united states is. We should want that president not to be able to abuse that office to enrich themselves.

Although the taliban are showing increasing signs of repressive government, some women are not backing down. A group of brave activists protesting outside what used to be the ministry on sunday.

Nassar scandal. He was the doctor who sexually abused hundreds of gymnasts. These ladies ripped the fbi for ignoring their reports for months and years. After telling my story of abuse in 015, not only did they not report my abuse. But they they documented it 17 months later they made entirely false claims about what i said. They were working with the olympic committee to hide that larry mass a was a predator. Jesse: a gold medalist testified the fbi wouldn t even speak with her until 14 months after she contacted them. At least 40 more girls were molested the next 14 months. Waiting for over a year to do anything after the complaints poured in.
