The pain – and comfort – in Trump associates’ convictions Posted: 22 Aug 2018 01:41 PM PDT Mr. Trump won the presidency, even after the infamous election-eve tape of him bragging crudely about grabbing women. For Americans disturbed by what these legal developments say about Trump, there's more than one way to react. "It's depressing that this president has surrounded himself with such rogues," says Gil Troy, a presidential scholar at McGill University in Montreal.

A plea deal’s spotlight on Trump – and campaign finance rules Posted: 22 Aug 2018 12:30 PM PDT President Trump's former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, pleaded guilty Tuesday to violating campaign finance law. In 2017, a jury deadlocked over charges against Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey that he did official favors in return for campaign donations.

At Canadian end of Underground Railroad, issues not all black and white Posted: 22 Aug 2018 11:51 AM PDT Deirdre Reynolds guides a group of 12- and 13-year-old boys from Buffalo to a recreated suspension bridge that once spanned the Niagara River. It's particularly important this month: August 23 is the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition.

President Trump seized on the man's arrest in the death of Mollie Tibbetts on Tuesday to call the nation's immigration laws "a disgrace" that will only be fixed by electing more Republicans. Cristhian Bahena Rivera was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in the death of Ms. Tibbetts, whose July 18 disappearance set off a massive search involving state and federal authorities.
