🇺🇸 Trump Jr. went hunting in Mongolia with Putin-linked Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev, the FT reports. They avoided photos together. The US Embassy spent $18,715 on hotels for a Secret Service visit during the same period – possibly to protect Trump Jr. on his private trip.

Ninth Circuit holds against the administration’s effort to force CA to set aside votes that the feds have determined –whatever the hell that means –might have been cast by ineligible voters. Very important decision and would have been disaster to go the other way, as 1 judge voted in dissent.
