Biden Warns Against Panic Following Pipeline Cyberattack

Print article Former president Donald Trump is moving to handpick members of the House GOP leadership team relentlessly attacking Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the No. 3 House Republican, and endorsing Rep. Elise Stefanik of New York to replace her. He is plotting to take down Republican lawmakers who voted to impeach him for inciting the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection on the U.S. Capitol, while continuing to stoke the false claims of a stolen election that has become a dangerous rallying cry for the party. And he is playing host to a burbling stream of Republican well-wishers - from House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California to Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas who travel to his private Mar-a-Lago retreat in Florida to pay their respects, seek his support and post a photo of their ring-kissing on social media.
