I would like to ask some cogent questions of Mr. Mueller. None of these is a partisan question. Democrats, Republicans, and independents alike all should all be asking them because of the unprecedented assault on our electoral system that was devised and executed by the Russian military.

Kim is not the only one who has Trump’s trust. When Putin tells Trump that he didn’t try to interfere with our 2016 elections, Trump believes him.

Mueller's criminal prosecutions may be coming to an end but it's mixed news, at best, for Donald Trump

Mr. Trump's glandular, impulsive and often vindictive character is the only reliable signal in the noise that is his presidency. Any conspiracy theory that doesn't take this into account is not likely to pan out.

Remember when containing Iran's influence was so important to President Trump or how he ridiculed his predecessor for withdrawing from Iraq in 2011? Suddenly, it's all reversed.

Donald Trump's brain sees everything as a private transaction not subject to law, says Robert B. Reich.

The guilty plea from Donald Trump’s onetime fixer, Michael Cohen, to the charge of lying to Congress about Mr. Trump's proposed Moscow Trump Tower real-estate deal illustrates the classic singing of a mob-culture "canary."

Three things happened this Thanksgiving week that made me thankful to be an American journalist — even as President Trump continues his war on the press.

There’s only one way for Maryland officials to do right by voters now: Tear up the state’s agreement with its elections contractor and remove their data from the vendor, ByteGrid, which has Russian investors, including an oligarch connected to Vladimir Putin. Cut it off — immediately.

The Russian ambassador to the United States, Anatoly Antonov, has reported that “important verbal agreements were made,” in the two-hour, closed-door meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. Such clandestine talks brings to mind a song from the musical “Hamilton."

Our own congressman, Andy Harris, is exceptionally craven even among his colleagues, and declined to condemn Trump’s humiliating display; instead he parroted Trump’s propaganda line about mistrusting “the mainstream media.”

I understand Trump’s behavior. What I don’t understand, however, is some of my fellow Americans, who would never accept such treasonous behavior from any other politician, never mind a president.

Donald Trump's behavior toward Putin and Russia fits the Constitution's definition of treason.

Tweeting dire warnings to Iran sounds more like a domestic distraction than a prelude to diplomacy or even armed conflict.

Andy Harris is not a patriot.  Andy Harris is a menacing and cynical actor whose unyielding support for President Trump endangers my family and the families of all other Marylanders.  It is in this spirit that I beseech my fellow members of Maryland District 1 to vote their consciences this Novemb

Leonard Pitts Jr.: In Helsinki, President Trump was everything he says he hates: weak, feeble, impotent.

Harris's refusal to condemn Trump's kowtowing to Putin should cause 1st District voters to reject him this fall.

The Sun is given to the same hyperbole about Trump and Putin as Trump exhibits himself.

In Helsinki, we witnessed the self-immolation of Donald Trump, says Jules Witcover.

The U.S. hasn't gone soft on Russia and it's neither accurate nor wise to imply the Trump administration has.

What took place in Helsinki? Good luck sorting through the changing explanations.

Trump's behavior in Helsinki raises serious questions about the risks he poses to national security.

Trump's choice to side with Putin over his own country should be too much for Congress to stomach.

President Trump appears to admire despicable people like Vladimir Putin. Perhaps he is naïve as demonstrated in his voicing trust and admiration for Kim Jong Un. Consider Dinesh D’Souza who Trump recently pardoned.

Robert Reich: For a supposed "deal maker," Donald Trump hasn't made any that have stuck thus far.
