Democrats laid plans Friday for impeaching President Donald Trump, even as he s headed out of the White House, and Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she had spoken to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff about preventing an "unhinged" Trump from ordering a nuclear strike in his final hours and days. And Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) became the first Senate Republican to call for President Trump to resign.
While the protests have slowed due to the PMF s
aggressive response and the coronavirus pandemic, they still persist. Iraqis are protesting against government corruption and mismanagement as well as the country’s lagging economy and high unemployment rate.
The US Treasury said Mr Al Fayyadh was the chairman of the leadership committee of the PMF

Under the sanctions, any property or interests that Mr Al Fayyadh has in the United States will be blocked. “The United States seeks to impose tangible and significant consequences on those who commit serious human rights abuse or engage in corruption, as well as to protect the financial system of the United States from abuse by these same persons,” the Treasury statement said.
