US accuses Syria of chemical weapons attack, vowing to not let it go 'unchallenged'

U.S. intelligence has determined that the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad used chlorine as a chemical weapon on May 19, according to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. He said the Trump administration will not let it go "unchallenged." 

The attack -- which the State Department had previously warned about -- is just the latest atrocity Assad's regime is said to be responsible for in Syria's eight-and-a-half-year old war, many of which amount to "war crimes and crimes against humanity," Pompeo said Friday.

Trump’s freeze on Ukraine aid draws new scrutiny amid push for Biden investigation

Revelations that President Trump pressured Ukraine’s new leader to investigate the son of former vice president Joe Biden have focused fresh attention on hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid the administration withheld from the country until last week.
Trump’s actions — which inspired a whistleblower complaint that the administration has refused to share with lawmakers — involve a July 25 phone call between the two leaders, according to people familiar with the exchange, one of whom said Trump did not raise the issue of military aid during the conversation.
Privately, congressional Democrats are questioning whether the aid, which remained frozen during Trump’s call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and for several weeks afterward, was related to the “promise” that sparked the whistleblower complaint and what Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson told lawmakers constituted an “urgent” and “credible” threat.
