Trump willing to release MRI results, but ‘no idea’ which part of body it examined

US President Donald Trump appeared open to releasing the results of a recent MRI, although he said he was unaware which part of his body was examined in the scan. "If they want to release it, it's OK with me to release it. It's perfect," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. Pressed by a reporter on which part of his body the MRI examined, Trump said, "I have no idea. It was just an MRI – what part of the body? It wasn't the brain, because I took a cognitive test and I aced it."

Netanyahu submits request for pardon during ongoing corruption trial

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked the country's president to grant him a pardon from corruption charges — seeking to end a long-running trial that has bitterly divided the nation. Netanyahu, who has been at war against the country's legal system over the charges, said the request would help unify the country at a time of momentous changes in the region. But it immediately triggered denunciations from his opponents, who said it would weaken Israel's democratic institutions and send a dangerous message that he is above the rule of law.

The US government has reopened after a historic shutdown. What does that mean, exactly?

US house passes bill to end historic government shutdown, sending measure to Trump

The House passed a bill to end the US's longest government shutdown, sending the measure to US President Donald Trump for his signature after a historic 43-day funding lapse that saw federal workers go without multiple paychecks, travellers stranded at airports and people lining up at food banks to get a meal for their families. House lawmakers made their long-awaited return to the nation's capital this week after nearly eight weeks away. Republicans used their slight majority to pass the bill with a mostly party-line vote of 222-209. House Democrats expressed great scepticism that the Senate effort would lead to a breakthrough. (Nine) The Senate has already passed the measure. Democrats wanted to extend an enhanced tax credit that expires at the end of t...

A call to overturn the landmark US Supreme Court decision legalising same-sex marriage America-wide is on the agenda for the justices' closed-door conference. Among the new cases the justices are expected to consider is a longshot appeal from Kim Davis, the former Kentucky court clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples following the court’s 2015 ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges. Davis had been trying to get the court to overturn a lower court order for her to pay $554,000 in damages and attorney’s fees to a couple whom she denied a marriage licence. Kim Davis refused to issue marriage licences to same-sex couples. (AP) The justices could say as early as Monday what they'll do. In urging the court to take up her case, Davis' lawyers repeate...
