    William Cohen, a former Republican senator from Maine and Defense secretary under former President Clinton, blasted GOP lawmakers challenging the results of the 2020 presidential election in a Thursday interview in which he suggested the formation of a new political party. Cohen made the comments on CNN's "The Situation Room" while discussing Sen. Josh Hawley's (R-Mo.) plans to object during Congress's counting of the Electoral College vote on Wednesday. Cohen called Hawley's actions "shameful" but warned that Republicans are just following President Trump's lead, calling him the party's "ringmaster." "We have to remember that the current occupant of the White...

    Reneé Hall is resigning as the chief of police of the Dallas Police Department, city officials announced Tuesday. Hall's resignation goes into effect at the end of the year. She initially said she would resign Nov. 10, but Dallas City Manager T.C. Broadnax asked her to stay longer. In her letter of resignation, Hall wrote that she has received inquiries about "future career opportunities" in recent months.

    The process of jury selection in the Amber Guyger murder case is expected to span at least a week. It was September 6, 2018, when then Dallas Police Department Officer Amber Guyger shot and killed Botham Jean. She told police she mistook his apartment for hers, as she lived one floor below, and thought he was an intruder. She was later fired from the police department and charged with murder. The judge has cast a wide net for potential jurors in this trial, more than anyone can remember. About 4,000 Dallas County citizens have been summoned to appear Friday morning...

    (CBS 11 News) DALLAS When you dial 9-1-1, how quickly do you expect a police officer to respond? Some crime victims in Dallas have waited for hours for police to arrive on scene. A CBS 11 investigation found that the problem is widespread. When a crime has been committed against you, there's usually a sinking feeling.

"When I pulled my drapes back, the door was wide open," said another victim, a 94-year-old woman. Then there's usually an instinct to seek...
