The case had been filed just three days before Trump’s inauguration under an obscure 1930s law and drew immediate fire from legal experts for its shaky economic underpinnings. FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson didn’t hold back. “Taxpayer dollars should not be used for legally dubious partisan stunts,” he said. “The…

Tsunami warnings were issued on Tuesday night that reached as far as the west coast of…

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) introduced the original bill barring members of Congress and their spouses from trading stocks. It was named, to Democrats’ dismay, for Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who has come under scrutiny for her husband’s extensive trading without evidence that any of it was done using insider information from Capitol Hill. In conjunction with Sen. Gary Peters of Michigan, the top Democrat on the Homeland…
