      Ex-CIA officer launches presidential campaign aimed at thwarting Donald Trump

      A former CIA case officer who has served as top policy aide to House Republicans is launching an independent campaign for the presidency on Monday with the backing of veteranย GOPย strategists and donors determined to block Donald Trump fromย getting anywhere near the White House. Feeding off mounting discontent within GOP ranks over Trump, Evan McMullin โ€” who is resigning todayย as chief policy director for the House Republican Conference โ€” announced his campaign with an open โ€œLetter to Americaโ€ that took pointed shots at both the GOP nominee and Democrat Hillary Clinton.

      U.S. recovers data recorder from sunken cargo ship El Faro

      The data recorder from the cargo ship El Faro, which sank near the Bahamas during a Caribbean hurricane last October, has been recovered, offering possible answers about why the vessel went down, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said on Tuesday. A U.S. Coast Guard panel in May revealed the ship's captain intended to avoid the brewing storm when he departed, but may have had outdated weather data.

      Judge Upholds Rod Blagojevichโ€™s 14-Year Prison Term at Resentencing in Corruption Case

      U.S. District Judge James Zagel said itโ€™s an โ€œunfortunate realityโ€ that Blagojevichโ€™s innocent family members are made to suffer the consequences. Blagojevich, known as Inmate No. 40892-424 since he went to prison in 2012, appeared on a courtroom video in prison-issued clothing, his once dark hair now white. Federal prosecutors said the dismissal of the five counts doesnโ€™t reduce the seriousness of Blagojevichโ€™s offenses and argued the sentence shouldnโ€™t be reduced.

      Putin and Erdogan pledge reset after diplomatic rift

      Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday pledged to reinvigorate ties after their first meeting since Ankara shot down a Russian warplane last November. Erdogan's visit to Putin's hometown of Saint Petersburg is also his first foreign trip since the failed coup against him last month that sparked a purge of opponents and cast a shadow over Turkey's relations with the West. "We lived through a very complicated moment in the relations between our states and we very much want, and I feel our Turkish friends want, to overcome the difficulties," Putin told journalists at a joint press conference.

      Mother of dead California skydiver says jump on bucket list

      The mother of a skydiver who plummeted to his death with an instructor in a California vineyard said her teenage son was an adventurous spirit who was willing to try just about anything โ€” including the jump that was on his bucket list of things to do in life. Tyler Turner, 18, had a mild case of cerebral palsy and walked with a crouched gait. Tyler Turner had graduated from high school with honors and had been bound for the University of California at Merced this month to study biomedical engineering.

      Orlando shooter's father makes eyebrow-raising appearance at Clinton rally

      The father of Orlando nightclub shooter Omar Mateen was spotted sitting behind Hillary Clinton at a Monday campaign rally in Kissimmee, Fla. Clinton, visiting the central Florida cityย to talk about jobs, was actually paying tribute to the victims of the Pulse nightclub massacre when an employee of NBC affiliate WPTVย noticedย that one of the rallygoers seated prominently behind the Democratic presidential nominee was Seddique Mateen, the mass shooterโ€™s father. The elder Mateen became the subject of widespread media attention in the aftermath of the attack on the gay nightclub that killed 49 people.
