Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin put forward a $1.8 trillion offer on Friday, the administration’s most generous plan to date. But in less than 24 hours, the offer had been rejected by both sides of the political aisle. A previous White House proposal offered $1.6 trillion. An unnamed Republican told the Associated Press that GOP Senators called Mnuchin’s new plan too expensive and out of touch with conservative values during a conference call this morning....

King was in favor of allowing new testimony and documents into Trump’s impeachment trial, a motion that was voted down in the Senate Friday by a vote of 51-49. Trump’s acquittal, said King, goes against the system of institutional checks and balances that has been in place for hundreds of years. “Democracy is unusual in world history,” King explained. “The norm is some kind of authoritarianism, dictators, kings, princes, emperors, you name it....

“This isn’t like some fantasy football trade,” Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), lead impeachment manager, said Wednesday. “That’s off the table,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) agreed. “The Republicans have the right to bring in any witness they want. They haven’t wanted to. That trade is not on the table.” The notion of a potential exchange for witnesses, such as former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter for former Trump national security adviser John Bolton, has been up in the air for weeks....

We will see each other next week but I think we are on the right path,” he said....

FIFA President Sepp Blatter believes match-fixing affects only a tiny percentage of football games. The sport is “so big, we will overcome”. Mr. Blatter was in Botswana in a 4 country tour before the finals of the AFCON 2013. He said that 700 matches are only a small percentage of a millions matches which are clean per year. “Most of the matches which they (Europol) have put in this tray have been already analyzed, dealt with and even were at the court,” said Mr....

Blatter is serving a 90-day suspension handed down to him by FIFA’s Ethics Committee for making an alleged “disloyal payment” to UEFA president Michel Platini in 2011, as well as negotiating an unfavorable television contract involving former vice president Jack Warner.

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Serena Williams ended the fairytale run of Mirjana Lucic-Baroni at the Australian Open on Thursday with a crushing 6-2 6-1 win that set up a final against her sister Venus.

Omar, a Democrat from Minnesota, responded on Twitter with a quote from author and civil rights activist Maya Angelou, but social media has gone a step further to support her. Sen. Bernie Sanders, an independent from Vermont, threw his support Wednesday to Omar on Twitter. “#IStandWithIlhan and am proud to work with her in Congress,” Sanders tweeted. “Trump is stoking the most despicable and disturbing currents in our society. And that very hatred and racism fuels him....

The inevitable marriage between the league and the Pacific Northwest’s biggest, bustling metropolis is hockey’s worst-kept secret. KeyArena, renovated and retrofitted to NHL specifications, will be ready by 2020. An ownership group fronted by longtime sports executive Tim Leiweke and Hollywood bigshot Jerry Bruckheimer made its multimillion dollar down payment. And more than 30,000 from the region’s dormant hockey fanbase forked over hundreds of dollars to get in line for season tickets....

Auburn, which has self-imposed a postseason ban related to bribery charges brought against former assistant Chuck Person, will not participate in this year’s tournament. Then there’s Kentucky, which certainly has not played like a powerhouse program in 2020-21. The Wildcats enter with the No. 8 overall seed, their worst since 2009 (when the conference still featured divisions). In the Wildcats’ place this season is Alabama, which enjoyed a remarkable turnaround under second-year coach Nate Oats to go 21-6 and 16-2 in SEC play....

Are we to believe this story? It could, of course, just be Morris’s vast ego talking. The disgraced consultant claims he was able to reconstruct his private conversations with the president from memory. During these talks, it often appears that Morris was busy running the president’s re-election campaign as well as much of the federal government. On the other hand, Clinton, ever eager to please, does worry deeply about his historic standing....
