WASHINGTON — President Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, failed to disclose what lawmakers called a "Russian backdoor overture and dinner invite" involving a banker who has been accused of links to Russian organized crime, three sources familiar with the matter have said. An email chain described Aleksander Torshin, a former senator and deputy head of Russia's central bank who is close to Russian President Vladimir Putin, as wanting Trump to attend an event on the side lines of a National Rifle Association convention in Louisville, Kentucky, in May 2016, the sources said. The email also suggests Torshin was seeking to meet with a high-level Trump campaign official during the convention, and that he may have had a message for Trump from Putin, the sources said. Kushner rebuffed the request after receiving a lengthy email exchange about it between a West Virginia man and Trump campaign ai...
A senior at Hickory Ridge High School in Harrisburg, North Carolina was recently suspended for wearing a shirt that showed her collarbones. Summer, an honor roll student with a 4.4 GPA, told NBC Charlotte that she was sitting in the cafeteria last week when the school’s principal asked her to put on a jacket because her shirt went against the school’s dress code. According to NBC Charlotte, Summer’s shirt partially showed her shoulders and exposed her back. Although Summer reportedly told her principal she thought her shirt was “fine” to wear at school, she complied with the principal’s request and put on a jacket.

Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe Zimbabwe's main opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai has re-united with his former allies to forge a coalition to end President Robert Mugabe's near four-decade hold on power in elections next year. Mugabe, in power since independence from British colonial rule in 1980, has been endorsed as his party's candidate for next year's vote despite his advanced age at 93 and signs of failing health. At a rally in the capital, the opposition Movement for Democratic Change leader Tsvangirai told supporters he was joining forces with two former deputies to face down Mugabe's ZANU-PF party. "For everything else to happen we have to unite as opposition parties," Tsvangirai said. "We have travelled this journey together and we will complete it together. We are rising above this needless and unhealthy competition." In 2008, Tsvangirai beat Mugabe in the first round of voting, but lost in a run-off marred by violence and intimidat...

TRUMP AND COMEY Donald Trump's personal request that the FBI drop its investigation into disgraced national security adviser Michael Flynn, if true, could see the President's fledgling administration already entering "impeachment territory".

It comes after a tumultuous week in which Mr Trump admitted he fired Mr Comey at least partially because of the investigation into his team's links to Russia, and after the President passed apparently classified secrets to senior Russian officials. Accoridng to notes Mr Comey made after a February meeting with Mr Trump, the President told him: “I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He is a g...
