US House of Representatives pass sanctions bill

US House of Representatives pass sanctions bill

he U.S. House of Representatives voted to slap more sanctions on Russia, Iran, and North Korea. The bill defies President Trumps objections to such legislation but was backed by Republicans and Democrats alike. The bill still needs to pass through the Senate before getting to the White House for Trump to sign or veto. The House-passed bill would codify into law existing sanctions on Russia. New sanctions would be imposed upon  Iran for their ballistic missile development. While North Koreas shipping industry and use of slave labor would be targeted for the countrys nuclear and missile programs. The White House says President Trump has not yet considered vetoing or signing the bill into law. Jul 26, 2017

Jared Kushner: I did not collude with Russia

Jared Kushner says he did not collude with any foreign governments during the 2016 election. Kushner is testifying in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee on Monday in relation to the Russia probe. He released a statement prior to his testimony, claiming that he did not know the purpose of the June 2016 meeting with Russian lawyer Natalia V. Veselnitskaya, during which the Trump campaign hoped to obtain damaging information on opponent Hillary Clinton. President Trumps son-in-law and senior adviser distanced himself from the meeting. Kushner says he was invited to the meeting by his brother-in-law, Donald Trump Jr., but did not read Trumps email and tried leaving the meeting after he arrived. Donald Trump Jr. is also expected to testify in front of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
