Following the Mueller report's release, a number of the 2020 Democratic candidates, like their colleagues in Congress, are debating how aggressively to respond to the special counsel's findings.

The 448-page document, released Thursday after nearly two years of investigation, depicts a president distraught by the special counsel's inquiry — and aides thwarting his attempts to stop it.

Speaking to reporters Tuesday, President Trump restated an earlier falsehood in which he blamed the Obama administration for a policy the Trump administration in fact started.

Kirstjen Nielsen's departure from the Department of Homeland Security means that 15 of President Trump's Cabinet-level appointments have departed, a number far higher than in previous administrations.

In a statement, the White House said Randolph "Tex" Alles "has done a great job at the agency" and would be replaced by James M. Murray, a career Secret Service member, who will start in May.

President Trump announced the secretary's departure amid a 10-year high in illegal border crossings. The two reportedly clashed as Nielsen was unable to stop flows of migrants entering the U.S.

In a speech before the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers union, Biden assured the audience that he had permission to embrace a union worker and put his arm around a child onstage.

A number of government agencies work closely with the industries they are charged with regulating. The issue surfaced after Boeing's 737 Max planes had to be grounded by the FAA.

In an online video, the former vice president and potential 2020 presidential candidate addresses criticism by women who say his physical contact with them made them uncomfortable.

The Federal Aviation Administration is under scrutiny for allowing Boeing to oversee how its aircraft are certified. But it's not the only agency that works closely with the industries it regulates.

The president still promises "a great health care package" — but not until after the next election. His comments come after a phone call with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

More than two dozen people, including two current senior officials, received security clearances after their initial denials were overturned by other top officials.

After the special counsel apparently found no conspiracy by the Trump campaign to attack the 2016 election with Russia, Democrats in Congress want to focus on health care with help from the president.

This is not the first time Bill Barr has led the Justice Department. The seasoned D.C. lawyer has expressed expansive views on the powers of the president — and supported past presidential pardons.

Democrats have long said the results of the special counsel's investigation into the Russian attack on the 2016 presidential election should be fully transparent. Now, some Republicans say they agree.

The president told reporters, "Let people see" special counsel Robert Mueller's report, as Trump again denied any collusion with Russia prior to his election in 2016.

The nomination of Stephen Dickson comes as the agency faces criticism for its response to crashes involving the Boeing 737 Max.

In a rare area of bipartisan agreement and after years of little regulation, lawmakers in both chambers say the tech industry needs to do more to protect its users' personal information.

The Democratic majority in Congress means lawmakers are taking another look at big tech with the focus on issues like privacy and mergers rather than alleged political biases.

Shine, a former Fox News executive, will become a senior adviser to the president's 2020 re-election campaign.
