Report claims Russia influenced Trump's rejection of Romney as secretary of state

Image
A shocking memo authored by former spy Christopher Steele has recently come to light that reveals potential Kremlin influence over Donald Trump's decision-making in the months leading up to his assuming the Oval Office and U.S. presidency. A lengthy New Yorker profile on the ex-MI6 operative delves into both Steele's past and current dealings with congressional committees and special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russia's meddling in the 2016 presidential election. One specific excerpt from the piece is raising eyebrows, and that surrounds a Russian source that claims the Kremlin had specific recommendations for who then President-elect Trump chose as his secretary of state. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2I5qFa3 via Latest News

China says lifting term limits is about protecting authority of party

Image
Removing presidential term limits in the state constitution is about protecting the authority of the ruling Communist Party with President Xi Jinping at its center, a Chinese government spokesman said on Sunday. The party said last Sunday it would remove the two-term limit clause, setting the stage for Xi to stay in office indefinitely should he wish, prompting accusations from some in the country that China is set to become another North Korea. While the party's official People's Daily said on Thursday the move did not mean life-long terms, the proposal has caused unease in China. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2FcArVQ via Latest News
