Image
Tropical Storm Cristobal could soon renew its strength by uniting with another storm system coming from the west to form one giant cyclone, forecasters say. After drenching much of the South, forecasters now expect the remnants of Cristobal to bring fierce winds, heavy rain and thunderstorms to much of the Midwest by Tuesday. A very strong storm system sweeping out from the Rocky Mountains is expected to meld with Cristobal in the next couple of days, said Greg Carbin, who oversees forecasts at the Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/30maOPG via Latest News

Graham Says FBI ‘Denying’ Requests to Interview Agents Who Talked to Steele’s Subsource

Image
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) revealed Sunday that the FBI has denied his requests to interview the two officials who interviewed Christopher Steele’s primary subsource.“I made a request to interview the case agent and the intel analyst . . . and they’re denying me the ability to do that,” Graham said in an interview on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures.The two FBI agents, a case agent and an intelligence agent, interviewed Steele's primary subsource three times in 2017.

Does the fault lie with two or three people? Or was it a system out of control?

2020 Watch: Has Trump hit bottom? Polls show him trailing

Image
President Donald Trump enters the week hoping to rebound from one of the lowest points of his presidency as recent polls show that 8 in 10 Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction and even spiraling out of control. The president got a boost late last week with a better-than-expected jobs report, but he's struggling to show consistent leadership on the coronavirus pandemic, the related economic fallout and nationwide protests against police brutality. Joe Biden has formally clinched the Democrats' presidential nomination and begun to venture out beyond his basement home studio, but amid competing national crises that focus attention on actual governance the 2020 election continues to be all about Trump. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2AOzZjt via Latest News

Iran says it will execute man convicted of spying on Soleimani for CIA

Image
Tehran says it has sentenced an Iranian man to death for spying on behalf of the United States and Israel against Qassem Soleimani, the Iranian general who was killed in an American air strike earlier this year. Soleimani was killed in a drone attack in Iraq on January 3rd, although Iran says that the espionage case is not related to his assassination. Iran says the man, Mahmoud Mousavi-Majd, was arrested much earlier, in October 2018. An Iranian judiciary spokesman said that he, quote, ''shared information about the whereabouts of martyr Soleimani with our enemies''. Adding that his death sentence has been upheld by a supreme court and "he will be executed soon." Washington blamed Soleimani, the second most powerful man in Iran at the time, for masterminding attacks by Iran-aligned militias on U.S. forces in the region. Officials have not said whether Mousavi-Majd's case is linked to Iran's announcement last summer that it had captured 17 spies
