The president threatened Monday to strip the security clearances of Obama-era intelligence officials who criticized his interactions with Russian President Vladimir Putin at last week’s press conference.
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said Trump was considering revoking security clearances of former CIA Director John Brennan, former national security adviser Susan Rice, former director of national intelligence James Clapper and others.
Ryan pressed back against the seriousness of the administration’s threat Tuesday, calling it likely a ploy to get the media and Washington riled up.
“I think he’s just trolling people,” Ryan told reporters at the Capitol Tuesday.” – READ MORE
[divider][/divider]Randy Bryce, the Democratic challenger attempting to win House Speaker Paul Ryan’s seat in Congress, has been discovered to carry a litany of prior arrests.
The perennial candidate has earned numerous endorsements from national Democrats who hope he can flip the district.
However, Bryce has been discovered to have been arrested a number of times, according to a CNN report. Arrests include driving under the influence, possession of marijuana, and driving with a suspended license.
Bryce, 53, was arrested in 1991 for marijuana possession, property damage, theft and trespassing — the theft and trespassing charges were later dropped. He was arrested again in 1998 for drunk driving. He was later arrested three more times for driving with a suspended license and registration in his home state of Wisconsin.
“There is no excuse for what I did 20 years ago when I got behind the wheel and operated under the influence. I made a mistake and I regret it. I’ve worked very hard to learn from my mistakes so I can be a man my son can be proud of. I’m not perfect, but I know the struggles working people go through. I understand the mistakes that any of us can make. I’ve certainly learned from mine,” Bryce said in a Friday statement to CNN.
This isn’t the first time that Bryce’s past has come to haunt him as he attempts to become a U.S. representative.
