FBI releases new photos in quest to capture Capitol rioters

The FBI released new photos Sunday in its ongoing effort to arrest those responsible for the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. The agency did not provide identifying information but directed people to visit tips.fbi.gov to provide information regarding the specific participant they tweeted about, and told tipsters to refer to photo 224.

While arrests have been made and charges leveled against multiple suspects in the riot, the FBI is still seeking information about many rioters.

The most recent plea for information came a day after the Senate failed to get a super-majority of 67 votes for the impeachment of former President Donald Trump. Seven Republican lawmakers voted alongside Democrats in favor of convicting Trump. Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said he was “proud” of the Republicans who voted to impeach. “I’m proud of those folks that did take that decision and put the country ahead of the party,” Hogan said during an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday. Hogan’s father was the only Republican member of Congress to vote for all three articles of impeachment against President Richard Nixon.

House again passes a resolution seeking to halt military action in Iran as the conflict escalates

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House on Thursday narrowly passed a resolution to halt U.S. military action in Iran, sending a warning to President Donald Trump for the second time as the war has escalated and the future of the conflict is increasingly uncertain. The 214-208 vote requiring congressional approval for the war came just before the Senate narrowly rejected a similar resolution, 47-49. Though the votes forced by Democrats are largely symbolic, they are meant as a signal to the Republican president that his support on Capitol Hill is chipping away as the war drags on and lawmakers in both parties have questioned his administration’s endgame. The war has had “no clear mission, no strategy, no end goal,” said Washington Rep. Pramila Jayapal, a Democrat who led the resolution on the House floor. The House resolution passed after a handful of Republicans voted with Democrats to end the war. But the vast majority of Republicans in both chambers voted to back the war and cede congressional war powers to Trump.
