Thursday on CNN’s “Inside Politics,” network chief legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin weighed in on House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff’s (D-CA) committee hearing that featured acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire on President Donald Trump allegedly urging Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky to probe former Vice President Joe Biden. Trump released the transcript from his call, which appeared to not show any wrongdoing on the president’s part. Although Democrats have maintained Trump sought to create a quid pro quo with Ukraine, Toobin said Schiff’s fight to prove Trump was involved in impropriety “didn’t really have that much juice to it.”...

ABC News added a major correction to a would-be bombshell report Wednesday that said the Trump administration required Ukraine’s president to discuss Joe Biden as a precondition to meet with President Donald Trump. The story would have been a huge development in the saga involving a whistleblower who filed a complaint regarding a July 25 phone call between Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian leader. The whistleblower asserted in the complaint that Trump pressured Zelensky to investigate Biden’s son’s Ukrainian business dealings. A transcript of that phone call shows Trump brought up concerns about the Bidens, but Trump denied pressuring Zelensky on the matter. If...

Republican Utah Sen. Mitt Romney came under fire from one of his Republican colleagues Thursday as Romney continues to raise questions about President Donald Trump’s phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Romney previously called the conversation “troubling to the extreme,” and said he was eager for more information to be released. Republican Florida Sen. Rick Scott made clear Thursday that Romney does not speak for the Republican Senate caucus. “Senator Romney has gone down the same path as the Democrats like Nancy Pelosi,” Scott said. “He thinks the worst of the president instead of the best, before he ever...

The long-awaited whistleblower report is declassified and released...but does it help Democrats in their impeachment efforts? Plus, Trump fires back.

.......Hundreds of pages of never-released memos and documents – many from inside the American team helping Burisma to stave off its legal troubles – conflict with Biden’s narrative. And they raise the troubling prospect that U.S. officials may have painted a false picture in Ukraine that helped ease Burisma’s legal troubles and stop prosecutors’ plans to interview Hunter Biden during the 2016 U.S. presidential election........

Thunberg — think Lisa Simpson crossed with Bane — told the United Nations, “You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words.” Nah. On the contrary, Thunberg’s life has coincided with what are almost certainly the 16 best years in the entire history of humanity. If she wants to talk hard times, wait till she hears about my childhood, when grown-ups thought it was perfectly fine to move millions of machines around that spewed lead into their kids’ lungs. And mine of course, was the luckiest of all generations to that point. Thunberg sailed to the U.S....

Donald Trump is considering bringing his tenacious former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski back into the fold to lead the fight in his impeachment battle. 'I have [had] no discussion with anyone in the White House about a job,' Lewandowski told DailyMail.com on Thursday. He did not clarify whether he spoke to anyone about leading such an effort from outside of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. He also took to Twitter to weigh in and called the report '#fakenews.'

WASHINGTON — When Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. traveled to Kiev , Ukraine, on Sunday for a series of meetings with the country’s leaders, one of the issues on his agenda was to encourage a more aggressive fight against Ukraine’s rampant corruption and stronger efforts to rein in the power of its oligarchs. But the credibility of the vice president’s anticorruption message may have been undermined by the association of his son, Hunter Biden, with one of Ukraine’s largest natural gas companies, Burisma Holdings, and with its owner, Mykola Zlochevsky, who was Ukraine’s ecology minister under former President Viktor...

Senator Elizabeth Warren appears uncharacteristically flustered when asked if her ethics plan would allow her Vice President's son to serve on the board of a foreign company: "No," she said. "I don't know. I mean I’d have to go back and look at the details."

ISRAEL—There was a certain man who had two sons, and the younger son demanded his inheritance and then wasted it all in a distant country. When the son came crawling back, begging for forgiveness, the father made a huge celebration to mark the return of his prodigal son. But that celebration was cut short when old tweets the younger son had written surfaced, some of which were characterized as racist. Though the son apologized for those tweets as well, he was immediately kicked out of the house. “He was dead and is alive again,” the father said, “but is now...

"The advice is sound in general" Grove says. "If it looks like there is an abscess in a piece of meat then...

For one thing, while Burisma is clearly trying to portray itself (perhaps genuinely) as an open, Western company, its ownership is more than a little murky. A 2012 investigation from Forbes Ukraine noted that registration documents from Ukraine and Cyprus indicated that Nikolay Zlochevsky, a former government minister and representative of Yanukovych's Party of Regions, was in control of the company. There was speculation from Ukrainian energy analysts that Biden's appointment may have been an attempt to avoid sanctions by other, bigger Yanukovych allies. It's also unclear why, exactly, Biden was hired: At Yahoo News, Olivier Knox and Meredith Shiner...
