It was not clear how the evidence shown by the Saudis indicated that the attack came from the north, or did not come from Yemen. Nor did the Saudis make it clear whether they were saying that Iran had the kind of indirect involvement, through supplying munitions and training, that it has had in previous Houthi strikes on Saudi Arabia, or something more direct, like Iranian personnel taking part or…

President Donald Trump on Wednesday barred California from setting its own vehicle emissions standards, kicking off a battle that is likely to last well beyond the 2020 presidential election. “The Trump Administration is revoking California’s Federal Waiver on emissions in order to produce far less expensive cars for the consumer, while at the same time making the cars substantially SAFER,” Trump tweeted Wednesday morning, noting that the move will lead…

O’Brien, the current special presidential envoy for hostage affairs at the State Department, will be replacing John Bolton.

Washington — President Trump announced Wednesday that his administration is revoking California’s authority to set auto mileage standards stricter than those issued by federal regulators. Mr. Trump made the announcement while in California, a state he rarely visits.  In a tweet, the president claimed his move would result in less expensive and safer cars, insisting that new cars would be cleaner, even as they burn more gasoline than they would…

The September Israeli election results are in — and it’s still not clear who the country’s next prime minister will be. But the results are the biggest threat to incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s hold on power since he took office in 2009. With over 90 percent of the vote now counted, the centrist Blue and White party looks to have won the largest number of seats in Israel’s parliament,…

Have Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee figured out what President Trump did to them? By the looks of their questioning of Corey Lewandowski on Tuesday, the answer is no. Democrats chose the former Trump campaign manager for their first hearing after declaring the committee is considering impeaching the president. They apparently thought Lewandowski would elaborate on his extensive testimony to special counsel Robert Mueller and also on his testimony…

As the search resumed early Wednesday for a 5-year-old girl authorities now believe was abducted from a New Jersey park on Monday, triggering a statewide Amber Alert, the girl’s mom issued a plea for the safe return of Dulce Maria Alavez. Noema Alavez said Wednesday that police have suggested that a family member played a role in Dulce’s disappearance from a Bridgeton park as she played with a sibling, but…

“That wasn’t true, was it, sir?” Mr. Berke asked. Mr. Lewandowski struggled to answer, ultimately telling the lawyer, “You can interpret it any way you like.” But when pressed, Mr. Lewandowski said: “I have no obligation to have a candid conversation with the media whatsoever, just like they have no obligation to cover me honestly, and they do it inaccurately all the time.” “You are admitting that on national television…

President Donald Trump did his best to appeal to Latinx voters during his rally on Monday evening in Rio Rancho, New Mexico. His “best,” however, was profoundly bizarre. In one especially odd moment, Trump remarked upon how white one of his key Latino surrogates looks. “He happens to be Hispanic, but I’ve never quite figured it out because he looks more like a WASP than I do. So I haven’t…

Iran’s attack on two Saudi oil facilities on Saturday is a challenge to the Saudis as well as to the American-led international order. Iran deserves a forceful retaliation. And the Saudis are the ones who should deliver it. After all, it was Saudi Arabia that was attacked, and Saudi Arabia’s oil-export dependent economy affected. It is also Saudi Arabia’s credibility now most at risk. For reasons of historic theology and…

The White House has said it is exploring using police to remove homeless people from the streets, a vague threat that has escalated concerns about Trump pushing a law enforcement crackdown in California. A new report from the president’s Council of Economic Advisers (CEA) said “policing may be an important tool to help move people off the street and into shelter or housing where they can get the services they…

UPDATE, 4:27 PM: Running late out of a big donor shindig in Palo Alto earlier today, Air Force One has just landed at LAX nearly an hour behind schedule. As Donald Trump deplanes and gets in Marine One in the next few minutes for a possibly augmented trip to DTLA before his Beverly Hills fundraiser tonight, LAPD are closing down streets all over the well heeled town and West L.A….
