Trump pressures McConnell on sentencing bill in partisan rift
Senate showdown looms as Grassley bricks against McConnell while Trump and Grassley press for a year end vote on a broad criminal justice reform measure. The bill would cut some prison terms, expand judges discretion, and offer 2600 crack offenders a chance at reduced penalties.

Comey Quizzed by GOP on Clinton Emails Bias Claims
Former FBI Director James Comey testified behind closed doors for nearly seven hours to House committees on the Clinton email and Russia probes. He said he would return Dec 17, complained about the process, and warned the transcript would bore readers. Mueller’s Russia case also advanced in court as lawmakers debated cooperation and bias claims.

Barr Nominated Again for Attorney General by Trump
President Trump selected former Attorney General William Barr to return as America's top law enforcement official. Barr's background may aid confirmation but Democrats question his past comments on the Russia inquiry and Hillary Clinton, including remarks on prosecutor fundraising and a uranium matters review. His record spans 1991 to 1993 as AG and later corporate counsel, with praised leadership from allies and scrutiny of his stance on Mueller’s team. Confirmation hearings likely after January with GOP majority and pressure from Senate leaders to move swiftly.
