Lawyers for Dem 'witness' in impeachment hearings erupt on senator - WND
Home - WND • cached • stripped • 45 minutes ago
(FOX NEWS) -- As the third day of the ongoing impeachment trial of President Trump wrapped up in the Senate chamber, most of the drama was elsewhere -- with one witness for the Democrats accusing a Republican senator of "defamation" and "slander" after she questioned his patriotism and implicated him in a scheme to take down Trump from inside the White House. Vindman, a National Security Council official, testified during House Democrats' impeachment inquiry last year that Trump's Ukraine dealings left him in a state of "shock," and Democrats were quoting from Vindman's remarks during the Senate trial on Thursday. These reports are produced by another news agency, and the editors of WND believe you'll find it of interest.

They have decried U.S. and Iranian influence in equal measure as they watch brinkmanship between the two inflame proxy battles and risk further bloodshed on Iraqi soil.

Mexico detained 800 members of a 4,000-strong migrant caravan trying to cross the Mexico-Guatemala border on the way to the U.S., after praise from acting Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf for their efforts. The National Migration Institute (INM) announced Thursday that it had moved 800 migrants, including unaccompanied minors, to Mexican immigration centers where they would be provided for and processed. The Trump administration praised Mexico's efforts to halt the caravan, after Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador promised last year that Mexico step up its efforts to prevent the mass migration of undocumented immigrants, as caravans overwhelmed authorities last spring.
