Rachael Bade Colby Itkowitz April 4 at 8:19 PM Three powerful House Democrats asked Capital One Financial last month for financial records related to President Trump, including any that were given to special counsel Robert S. Mueller III. The bank responded on March 21 that it was preserving the documents requested but would hand them over only under subpoena, according to a copy of the letter from Brent Timberlake, the…

At a news conference on Thursday, Dagmawit Moges, Ethiopia’s minister of transportation, said the flight crew had “performed all the procedures, repeatedly, provided by the manufacturer, but were not able to control the aircraft.” The report, which could change in the coming months when it’s completed, doesn’t rule out the potential for pilot error in the Ethiopian crash. And some pilots in the United States raised doubts about whether the…

Aperson who told authorities in Kentucky that he escaped from kidnappers after being held captive seven years is not Timmothy Pitzen — who went missing in 2011 after his mother was found dead in an Illinois motel room. DNA tests indicate that the young man is not the boy from Aurora, Illinois — who disappeared when he was 6 — as he had told authorities in Campbell County, Kentucky, on…

Members of special counsel Robert Mueller’s team say Attorney General William Barr has soft-pedaled the findings of their investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and whether President Trump committed an obstruction-of-justice offense, according to the New York Times and the Washington Post. Be wary of these news reports. We’ve been burned before by supposedly momentous, anonymously sourced Russian collusion “scoops.” The Times’ report, titled “Some on Mueller’s Team…

President Donald Trump was elated after he learned about William Barr’s summary of Robert Mueller’s report. But the jubilation, which included false claims that Mueller had “totally exonerated” the president of wrongdoing, was short-lived. | AP Photo/Evan Vucci white house A claimed ‘exoneration’ after the Russia probe seemed to promise a fresh start for the president. No such luck. By ANITA KUMAR and ANDREW RESTUCCIA 04/04/2019 06:35 PM EDT It…

On Thursday, Ethiopia’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AIB) released its preliminary report on the crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight ET302, which killed all 157 passengers and crew.

The AIB’s initial findings present data from the crashed plane’s…

Less than two months ago, Alva Johnson, a former Trump campaign staffer, came forward to accuse Donald Trump of kissing her without her consent in 2016. In so doing, Johnson became the 16th woman to accuse the president of groping, kissing, or assaulting her. At least seven additional women have accused Trump of sexual harassment. Beyond the slew of accusations, Trump was infamously recorded bragging about groping women on a…

The MCAS update was supposed to have been rolled out earlier this year, but it was delayed. Polana Pramesti, the head of Indonesia’s civil aviation authority, said on Thursday that she was told by the F.A.A. in a teleconference that the new software would be introduced “in a few weeks.” But it will take airlines some time to test the new software and restore the trust of customers leery about…

The House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday exceeded its bounds in issuing a subpoena for the full report from special counsel Robert Mueller on Russian skullduggery concerning the 2016 elections. Attorney General William Barr should release as much of the Mueller report as possible, as soon as possible, because the public has a right to see what all the fuss was about. Yet if he determines that some information within it…

Mr. Trump encouraged one organizer to pack the ballroom for a February event beyond the 700-person limit, advising that person to tell his staff at Mar-a-Lago that he said he would allow the increase. That organizer was told that the Mar-a-Lago security team had no final say over crowd numbers, but the event still grew to around 730 guests. In the end, Mr. Trump did not attend, and it was…
