Trump assembles a made-for-TV impeachment defense team
President Donald Trump has assembled a made-for-TV legal team for his Senate trial that includes household names like Ken Starr, the prosecutor whose investigation two decades ago resulted in the impeachment of Bill Clinton.

An age of temperance ushered in Prohibition 100 years ago: How things have changed
On this day 100 years ago, the nation officially went dry. Washington state voters had already banned the sale and manufacture of alcohol in 1914. But today marks a century since the country followed with a ban on all sales, manufacture and import of all types of alcohol following the ratification of the 18th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Prohibition Era lasted until December 1933. Today, craft breweries are booming in Spokane. Washington recently licensed its 1,000th winery and small-batch producers, like locally-owned Dry Fly Distilling, find their products stocked by restaurants and bars. Statistics indicate Americans are drinking more alcohol per capita than they were before the ban on alcohol sales began on Jan. 17, 1920.

U.S. sanctions have crippled its economy as tensions with America have soared.
