“Even among the president’s core supporters, there is a divide: 55 percent of Republicans said they thought the war was worth the costs and benefits, a far cry from the vast majority of his base who support Mr. Trump on most other issues. Instead, 20 percent of Republicans said they thought the war had not been worth the cost, and another 24 percent were not sure.”

Said Thune: “That’s a contingency I think around here you always have to be prepared for. And if that were to happen, yes, we would be prepared to confirm.”

“Led by Eric, and his brother, Donald Jr., the family business has expanded into cryptocurrencies with ventures that brought in billions of dollars but raised questions about whether some big investors received favorable treatment in return.”

“The brothers have also joined or invested in a number of companies that aim to do business with the government their father runs.

On the third time she met him, she believed he drugged her drink. She said she found herself incapacitated after drinking only one glass of wine.

Said Drewes: “He raped me and he choked me and while he was choking me I lost consciousness and I thought I died. I did not consent to any sexual activity.”

Said Lescure: “If it lasts months, we’re all in trouble.”

Boasberg, the chief federal district judge in Washington, that had become a major flashpoint in President Trump’s battles with the judiciary over his attempts to push the limits of his power.”

“The UK and France are holding a summit on Friday to discuss the matter as Trump blockades the crucial shipping passage off Iran’s coast. But little progress has been made on forming a naval mission and allies don’t want to deploy assets until there’s a permanent ceasefire.”
