The Info Surrounding Trump’s Ukraine Call Keeps Getting Shadier

And apparently, it wasn't the first time they put Trump's communications with a foreign leader in a top-secret filing system because it was "politically sensitive." If you have trouble reading this message, view it in a browser.       The White House Tried to Bury Records of Trump's Ukraine Call. Not Shady at All.   The House Intelligence Committee released a declassified version of the whistleblower complaint into the dealings between Donald Trump, American president, and Ukraine.

Here's How to Get One for Yourself.   On September 24, 2019, George Clooney left the set of his latest Nespresso commercial in Madrid, and was photographed. Per usual, he's wearing a dark suit, black shoes, and a crispy white dress shirt—top two buttons undone. Not per usual?
