The Republican leaders of the House Judiciary and Oversight committees announced Friday they have wrapped up their review of the FBI's handling of the Hillary Clinton and Russia investigations, and raised concerns about the "thoroughness and impartiality" of the investigations.In a letter to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker and Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz, House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy and House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte reiterate prior criticisms of the investigation. Among those critiques are former FBI Director James Comey's handling of the decision not to prosecute Clinton, as well as charges of political bias by now-former FBI agent Peter Strzok and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page.The lawmakers repeat their call for a special counsel to be appointed to investigate decisions made during both investigations and also what they call the "disparate way these two investigations were seemingly conducted."Notably, Goodlatte and Gowdy argue that special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation must be "trusted by Americans," writing "there has been no effort to discredit the work of the Special Counsel. Quite the opposite, whatever product is produced by the Special Counsel must be trusted by Americans and that requires asking tough but fair questions about investigative techniques both employed and not employed." 1444

The Smithsonian's National Museum of American History has inquired about obtaining disturbing drawings by migrant children that depict figures with sad faces behind bars."The museum has a long commitment to telling the complex and complicated history of the United States and to documenting that history as it unfolds," according to a statement from the museum to CNN.The drawings by three children who had just been released from US Customs and Border Patrol custody drew international attention last week. The children, ages 10 and 11, were staying at a respite center run by the Catholic church in McAllen, Texas, when they made the drawings.Renee Romano, a professor of history at Oberlin College, applauded the Smithsonian for making an effort to preserve artifacts documenting the crisis at the border as part of US history.She said the US government's current policy of detaining immigrants and separating children from parents is part of a long national record of "seeing people as less than human."She noted, for example, that Japanese-Americans were placed in internment camps during World War II. The government separated Native American children from their parents, and African slave children were also separated from their parents."I think it's an amazing stance, honestly, by the Smithsonian, and a brave stance, to say that this is historically significant," Romano said."Something like a children's drawing is not typically something that a museum is going to say, 'This is something we would collect and protect,' " she added. "[But] these kinds of artworks are really about what are they thinking and feeling at this particular moment. How do we see this experience from their perspective? That's really, really powerful."Last week, after reading CNN's story about the drawings, a curator for the Smithsonian reached out to CNN and the American Academy of Pediatrics as part of an "exploratory process," according to the Smithsonian statement. A delegation of pediatricians received photos of the children's drawings after touring the McAllen respite center and then shared the images with the media.At any one time, the respite center houses about 500 to 800 migrants who have recently been released from Customs and Border Protection custody.Sister Norma Pimentel, director of Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley, said families arrive at the respite center in emotional pain from their journeys to the United States and their time in CBP facilities."They find themselves in these facilities that are overcrowded and families are separated from children and they don't know what's going on -- they're traumatized," she said. "The children don't know what's happened to them, and they're afraid and crying. It's so disturbing to know we can't do something better for them."Brenda Riojas, a spokeswoman for the Catholic Diocese of Brownsville, Texas, said she hopes the museum will also accept and preserve happier drawings made by children at the respite center."Children use bright colors and draw things like sunshine and children playing. It shows their resilience. It shows there's hope for their healing," she said.Riojas shared with CNN an image made recently by a girl at the center that uses bright colors to depict a heart and a smiling face. With childlike misspellings, the girl wrote "Dios es marvilloso" ("God is marvelous").Romano said she also hopes the Smithsonian takes in these happier drawings."No one is defined completely by an experience of oppression," she said.She said she hopes that in decades to come, historians and visitors to the museum can see the array of drawings and get some feeling for what the children were going through."I think it's really, really important to give people the tools to understand this moment in history from the perspective of those people, those children, who were experiencing it," she said. 3888

Tim Walz said at a news conference Thursday."They paid the ultimate price in service to Minnesota and to the United States of America," Walz, himself a veteran of the MNG said.

The state of Minnesota stands ready to assist the families of our fallen heroes."The names of the deceased crew members are not being released pending family notification, Walz said.The crew was conducting a maintenance test flight just after 2 p.m. when they lost contact with air traffic controllers, according to 708

The University of Phoenix settled a legal battle with the Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday, by agreeing to eliminate 1 million in student debt and pay million to the FTC, the FTC announced. The settlement marked a record for the FTC."This is the largest settlement the Commission has obtained in a case against a for-profit school,” said Andrew Smith, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “Students making important decisions about their education need the facts, not fantasy job opportunities that do not exist."The FTC sued the University of Phoenix for deceptive marketing to potential students, leading students to believe that the university worked with employers such as Microsoft and Adobe to create job opportunities. An example the FTC showed was of a TV advertisement that claimed that the University of Phoenix had a "growing list" of 2,000 partners while displaying logos for various large companies. In reality, these companies did not provide special job opportunities for students. The FTC will use its share of the settlement for consumer redress. The remaining 1 million will go to cancel student debt owed by former students who were enrolled around the time they were likely exposed to the university's deceptive advertising. The University of Phoenix said in a statement that it denies any wrongdoing. "After cooperating fully with the FTC’s inquiry, the University is pleased to have reached this settlement agreement and resolved this matter, which principally focused on a marketing campaign that ran from late 2012 to early 2014," the statement read. "The campaign occurred under prior ownership and concluded before the FTC’s inquiry began. The University continues to believe it has acted appropriately and has admitted no wrongdoing. "This settlement agreement will enable the University to maintain focus on its core mission of improving the lives of students through career-relevant higher education, and to avoid any further distraction from serving students that could have resulted from protracted litigation, as well as the time and expense of the litigation itself."Here is what's next for those former students affected by the settlement, according to the University of Phoenix:As determined by the terms of the settlement, a certain designated population of students who first enrolled between October 1, 2012 and December 31, 2016 are eligible for relief from accounts owed directly to the University. Other debts, including, but not limited to, federal student loans, are not covered and remain due pursuant to their terms.The University will automatically release outstanding account balances for this designated population of students. These students do not need to take any action. The University will notify them and manage the processing of their debt forgiveness.The University will ask the credit reporting agencies (Experian and Equifax) to delete the official record of debt for outstanding account balances for this designated population of students. The credit reporting agencies will then be responsible for processing any updates to the affected students’ credit reports.To the extent that access to diplomas or transcripts was restricted for these students because of the previously outstanding balance, the University will lift that restriction and will make official transcripts available upon request for this designated population of students at the cost of the published transcript fee. This will allow these students to more easily pursue further higher education if they choose. 3578
