STRASBOURG, France (AP) — Cherif Chekatt’s criminal career began at age 10. By age 13 he had been convicted. Now, with his third decade still incomplete, he is a fugitive, accused in the deadly shooting at France’s most famous Christmas market. The 29-year-old has more than two dozen convictions, mostly in France but also in Switzerland and Germany. The rare times he’s been out of jail, he’s moved around. He…

Democrats and media commentators are noting that many Republicans are “shrugging off” the fact that Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to felony campaign finance violations which prosecutors say President Trump directed him to commit. The president, they say, is “implicated in two felonies.” How could GOP lawmakers shrug that off? One little-discussed reason is that many Republicans never liked and continue to oppose current campaign finance laws. They don’t approve of…

Negotiation in politics is a fine art. What the public witnessed between President Trump, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., was the political equivalent of the food fight from “Animal House.” Trump presented himself to the public as part of his campaign as a master negotiator, one who mocked his Republican opponents in the primary as a bunch of amateurs, who could get…

John Wagner December 13 at 11:20 AM President Trump denied Thursday that he had directed his former personal attorney Michael Cohen to break the law during the 2016 campaign by buying the silence of two women who claimed they once had affairs with the future president. In morning tweets, Trump, however, did not dispute that he had directed Cohen to make the payments, as Cohen and federal prosecutors have alleged…

Asked earlier this year, Taoiseach (Irish prime minister) Leo Varadkar said: “That will just never happen – ever.” But how can that promise be kept in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal?

It was grease frightening. Firefighters rescued a man who had gotten stuck in a grease duct of a California restaurant Wednesday. The 29-year-old man likely would “not have survived another day given the circumstances,” the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement, but did not specify how long he had been there. He was covered in grease and oil and couldn’t move, the statement said. A 29-year-old man was…

<!– –> × MENU SEARCH QUOTES Europe Politics The Irish border issue has been around since Brexit talks first started 18 months ago, but it’s only recently emerged as a widely recognized crucial element of negotiations. Still, the E.U. is unlikely to change its stance on the matter. “We know that the E.U. will not renegotiate but they may offer some clarifications or addendums or some kind of promise of…

Former President Trump lawyer Michael Cohen’s sentencing to three years in jail, whatever its tangible implications, could make it more difficult for Nancy Pelosi to stave off impeachment once Democrats assume control of the House of Representatives next month. Even as Trump’s legal challenges accumulate, Pelosi and the Democratic leadership are in a bit of a bind of their own. Polls have shown opposition to impeachment among the general public,…

Any normal person who watched the on-camera Oval Office back-and-forth between President Trump and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., would come away thinking, “Wow, they have some disagreements. I wonder if they’ll work that out before a government shutdown.” But liberals instead watched it and felt they needed to comfort the delicate Pelosi. Trump views Pelosi just like anyone else; liberals see her as just another woman who needs…
