Comey says Trump fired him to cover Russia probe
Former FBI Director James Comey told the Senate that he was dismissed to interfere with the Russia investigation and accused the White House of lies. He said he orchestrated releasing details of his talks with Trump to aid the probe and suggested Trump hoped to halt the investigation by firing him. He added that Mueller could investigate obstruction of justice, though he did not rule on the threshold.

Township cites possible collusion in Hira bid for youth center
Shenango Township supervisors raised concerns about potential bid collusion in the Youth Development Center sale. At a public meeting, they read a letter to the state real estate bureau seeking information on Hira Educational Services of North America, the top bidder at 400000 for the former juvenile facility on Frew Mill Road. The letter notes possible conflicts that violate non collusion provisions and cites Muhammad Asif Kunwar holding both a bid and Hira president role.
