Appeals court tosses one Perry indictment amid campaign trials
The Texas Third Court of Appeals in Austin voided the coercion of a public servant charge against former Gov. Rick Perry, leaving intact the abuse of official power count. Perry trails in 2016 polls as his legal team hails the ruling as a major victory. The court ruling hinges on free speech rights, while the remaining charge could still delay his campaign schedule.

Cruz accuses McConnell of lying on floor attack
Senator Ted Cruz publicly accuses Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of lying over assurances about a vote on the Export Import Bank. Cruz claims McConnell promised there was no deal to vote on the bank, while McConnell aides cite plans to attach it to highway legislation. The clash drew no defense from fellow Republicans on the Senate floor. Orrin Hatch criticized Cruz for sharing private information, saying the disclosure was inaccurate.
