TODAY'S HEADLINES:

A new report claims Trump urged then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to help drop the DOJ’s case against an Iranian-Turkish gold trader who just happened to be one of Rudy Giuliani’s clients.

Meanwhile, a former Trump adviser claims China has already handed over the intelligence on Hunter Biden that trump publicly asked for.

And lastly, Turkey accused of deliberately targeting Syrian civilian areas in Trump’s-sanctioned military assault on the Kurds.

And our QUICKER QUICKIES HEADLINES:

Wisconsin congressman Mark Pocan is threatening to withhold Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's salary as part of the impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump. According to The Hill, Pocan sent a letter to Pompeo on Tuesday that contended Congress could block his pay because the administration is preventing testimony from Gordon Sondland, the U.S. ambassador to the European Union.

A new Fox News poll finds 51% of voters want President Trump impeached and removed from office, while another 4% want him impeached but not removed.

And lastly from The Intercept; Morgan Harper, the 36-year-old progressive running for Congress in Ohio’s 3rd Congressional District raised a remarkable $323,000 during the first quarter of her campaign, setting her up for a potent primary challenge from the Left to 69-year-old Rep. Joyce Beatty, a four-term incumbent. Harper’s campaign has raised the fourth-largest amount of money among any first-time congressional primary challenger in the initial quarter of their campaign, according to data provided by Data for Progress.
