@ 2 The Wacky World of WH Politics, @ 3 When to let go of ill loved one(s)?

@ 2 After speaking with Senate Intelligence Committee staff members investigating Russia's interference in the presidential election, President Trump's son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner insisted Monday he did nothing wrong and wants to get on with his White House duties. "Let me be very clear: I did not collude with Russia, nor do I know of anyone else in the campaign who did so," Kushner during a brief statement outside the White House. After meeting for more than two hours with staff from one of several congressional panels investigating possible collusion between Trump associates and Russians who sought to influence the election in favor of his father-in-law, Kushner claimed he has been "fully transparent" and said he is "eager to share any information I have with the investigating bodies." Kushner will face investigators in another private session on Tuesday, when members of the House Intelligence Committee will interview him as part of its inquiry into possible collusion between Trump associates and Russians who sought to influence the election in favor of Trump by hacking Democrats close to candidate Hillary Clinton. from USA TODAY

@ 3 A five-month legal battle to get permission to take a terminally ill baby to the United States for experimental treatment ended Monday after Charlie Gard's parents told a British court they were withdrawing their legal challenge. Grant Armstrong, a lawyer representing Chris Gard, 32, and Connie Yates, 31, told Britain's High Court that "time had run out" and the 11-month-old's parents made the decision after the American doctor who offered to treat the baby told them it was too late and wouldn't work.
