WASHINGTON — U.S. lawmakers on both sides of the aisle laid bare their suspicions about U.S. arms sales to Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Lebanon over the countries' supposed links to terror on Thursday, perhaps signaling choppy waters in the alliances.
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) on Thursday ripped President Trump's claims of a "witch hunt" against him, predicting the FBI would “find some witches” in its investigation into Trump.
“Dear @realDonaldTrump: I will bet you a bottle of fine CA wine that America's professional & dedicated FBI agents find some witches. #MAGA,” Lieu tweeted.
Washington Post reported Wednesday that the special counsel appointed to investigate possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia is now looking into whether Trump sought to obstruct justice.
Trump decried the reported news earlier Thursday, saying he's the victim of "the single greatest WITCH HUNT in American political history."
A House panel largely ignored the spy agency’s role in last month’s cyberattack, boding poorly for legislation seeking reforms.
One month after the global "WannaCry" ransomware attack hit computer systems in over 150 countries and temporarily crippled the British health care system, cybersecurity experts warned lawmakers that business and government networks in that United States only narrowly avoided a similar fate.
One of President Trump's most vocal critics in the House questioned Thursday whether the president was aware of a deal to sell Qatar up to 36 F-15 fighter jets.
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) hit back at the Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna Romney McDaniel for dismissing a report that President Trump is under investigation for obstruction of justice.
McDaniel responded to a Washington Post report Wednesday that special counsel Robert Mueller is investigating Trump for obstruction of justice, saying that there's "no proof."
Democratic leaders are ramping up the pressure on Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) and other lawmakers to abandon efforts to force an impeachment vote on President Trump.
In a series of tweets, Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) mocked video that emerged Monday from President Trump's Cabinet meeting in which each department secretary offered praise for the president.
"Dear Great Leader [Donald Trump]: Your golf game is godlike, your wit, Shakespearean and your tweets nourish people like manna from heaven," Lieu wrote.
He's only a few months into his presidency, but it's still safe to say that no other president has used social media in the same way that Donald Trump has. As a result, an Illinois lawmaker is making an effort to ensure that President Trump and his successors are held accountable for what they post on the internet.
