      Man Cleared of Drug Charge After Cops Mistake Kitty Litter for Meth

      A Texas man has been cleared of drug possession charges after authorities say they mistook kitty litter in his car for methamphetamine. Ross Lebeau was arrested last month, fingerprinted and had his mugshot taken after cops say he admitted to having marijuana in his car during a traffic stop.

      FBI Boss Comey Wonโ€™t Say If Investigating Trumpโ€™s Ties to Russia

      FBI Director James Comey refused to say on Tuesday whether the bureau has investigated ties between Russia and associates of President-elect Donald Trump, raising questions about whether the intelligence community has disclosed the full scope of its investigation into Moscowโ€™s multifaceted interference in the U.S. election. Under questioning by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) in the Senate Intelligence Committee, Comey said he โ€œwould never comment on investigations, whether we have one or notโ€ and flatly refused to weigh in on the hotly debated question of Trumpโ€™s ties to Russia. โ€œI think the American people have a right to know this,โ€ Wyden countered.

      Iran mourns 'sheikh of moderation' Rafsanjani

      Iran began three days of mourning Monday after the death of ex-president Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, a pillar of the Islamic revolution who became a leading counterweight to hardliners. Tributes poured in for the moderate cleric, including from President Hassan Rouhani, who was reportedly at Rafsanjani's bedside before he died of a heart attack aged 82. "Islam lost a valuable treasure, Iran an outstanding general, the Islamic revolution a courageous flag-bearer and the Islamic system a rare sage," Rouhani said.

      Fans mourn death of California's famous 'drive-thru' sequoia

      Joyce Brown was 12 when her parents first took her to visit the "drive-thru tree," a giant sequoia in California famous for a car-sized hole carved into the base of its trunk. "It's kind of like someone in the family has died," said Brown, a 65-year-old retired middle school teacher in the San Francisco Bay Area who spends about a third of the year at her family's cabin in Arnold, about 4 miles from where the now-fallen tree lies dead in Calaveras Big Trees State Park. In May 2015, she and her husband showed off the tree to John and Lesley Ripper, a Michigan couple the Browns befriended on an African safari.

      China โ€˜Seriously Concernedโ€™ Over Pyongyangโ€™s ICBM Threat

      China has expressed concern Monday over North Koreaโ€™s repeated threats to test-launch an intercontinental ballistic missile. On Sunday, Pyongyang had blamed the U.S. for the isolated countryโ€™s nuclear and missile tests and warned it would test-launch the ICBM at any time from any place chosen by leader Kim Jong Un. โ€œThe United Nations Security Council has clear rules for North Korea regarding its use of ICBM technology to test missiles.

      Pentagon successfully tests micro-drone swarm

      The Pentagon may soon be unleashing a 21st-century version of locusts on its adversaries after officials on Monday said it had successfully tested a swarm of 103 micro-drones. The important step in the development of new autonomous weapon systems was made possible by improvements in artificial intelligence, holding open the possibility that groups of small robots could act together under human direction. The test of the world's largest micro-drone swarm in California in October included 103 Perdix micro-drones measuring around six inches (16 centimeters) launched from three F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jets, the Pentagon said in a statement.

      U.S. charges Volkswagen executive with fraud over emissions scandal

      By Zachary Fagenson and David Shepardson MIAMI/DETROIT (Reuters) - Volkswagen AG suffered a new setback on Monday when an executive was charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States over the company's diesel emissions cheating and the automaker was accused of concealing the cheating from regulators. Oliver Schmidt, who was general manager in charge of VW's environmental and engineering office in Michigan, did not enter a plea at an initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Miami on Monday and was ordered held pending a hearing on Thursday by U.S. Magistrate Judge William C. Turnoff. Schmidt, who was shackled and wearing a jail uniform, was charged with fraud and conspiracy in not disclosing a cheating device used to rig U.S. diesel emissions tests from 2006 through 2015.
