WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says "all roads seem to lead to Putin" when it comes to President Donald Trump. The California Democrat told reporters Tuesday that nevertheless, she's not going to call for a formal House vote on impeachment.

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — The police chief in Fort Worth, Texas, says there was "absolutely no excuse" for a white officer's killing of a black woman in her home. Police have released an arrest warrant quoting the victim's 8-year-old nephew as saying she pointed a gun at a bedroom window after hearing noises outside. But Chief Ed Kraus says Atatiana Jefferson behaved as any Texas homeowner would on hearing a prowler. Black politicians and others accused the police of trying to deflect blame onto an innocent victim.
