Well soon know some of what the shooter omar mateen said to police during the attack. The u. S. Justice department will release limited transcripts from three phone calls he had with negotiators that night. Among them the killers claim of allegiance to isis. Since the shooting there have been questions over whether the fbi missed potential rered flags on mateen during previous background checks. On cnns state of the union, attorney general Loretta Lynch pushed back against arguments that Political Correctness is hindering the way the government investigates potential terror suspects. I can tell you how we handle these investigations now. We handle these investigations by looking into anything, everything and every one.

Racist photo from his medical School Yearbook in 1984. The photo shows one person in black face and the other in a ku klux klan robe. Northam is taking responsibility for the photo but didnt specify whether hes the guy in black face or wearing kkk garb. So far northam has apologized but said he will remain in office. Calls for his resignation are coming from all corners, not just republicans but longtime allies like his predecessor terry mcauliffe, state house and Senate Democrats and the legislative black caucus.

For britain, europe and the world. Then. If i wanted to win that war, afghanistan would be wiped off the face of the earth. That comment sent shock waves through afghanistan. Ill talk to the afghan ambassador to the United States about what her government has called trumps unacceptable remark. Also, from the opium wars of the 1800s to the roiling protests that have been rocking hong kong for weeks, how did we get here . What makes hong kong such a flash point . Ill explain. But first, heres my take. Britain has a new Prime Minister. And donald trump approves. Hes tough and hes smart. They call him print trump and people are saying thats a good thing.
