The U.S.-Israeli joint war against Iran entered its third day Monday, with the Trump administration starting to make its case for the war— as polls show just 1/4 Americans back the war.
The U.S.-Israeli joint war against Iran entered its third day Monday, with the Trump administration starting to make its case for the war— as polls show just 1/4 Americans back the war.
The U.S. State Department authorized non-essential personnel and their families to leave Israel Friday, as a possible U.S. strike on Iran appears more likely. Thursday’s nuclear talks between the U.S. and Iran did not result in any meaningful breakthroughs, but the Trump administration said Friday that additional talks are planned for next week. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to travel to the region in the coming days.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told lawmakers Thursday that she had no knowledge of Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes, and that she does not remember meeting him. “I never flew on his plane or visited his island home or offices,” she told House Oversight Committee members in a closed-door hearing in Chappaqua, New York, where the Clintons have a home. Former President Bill Clinton is set to talk to lawmakers on Friday.
President Trump’s pick for the position of Surgeon General, Dr. Casey Means, appeared before the Senate on Wednesday, where lawmakers pressed her on her stance on vaccinations, her controversial comments on birth control, and her prior business entanglements.
