Hunter Biden, the son of presidential Democratic candidate Joe Biden, admitted in an interview on ABC News Good Morning America that he exercised poor judgment in working on the board of a Ukrainian energy companymdash;but said he did nothing improper in doing so. His role on the board of Burisma spurred President Donald Trump to ask Ukraine s president ina now-infa stanley cups mous July 25 callto investigate the Bidens for corruption and to tell reporters earlier this month that both Ukraine and China should look into the Bidens. The president s Ukraine call led the U.S. House to launch a formal impeachment inquiry against Mr. Trump.Biden told ABC News that he has no regrets about joining the board of Burisma, but what I regret is not taking into account that there would be a Rudy Giuliani and a president of the United States that would be listening to this ridiculous conspiracy idea. The president, whose children stanley vaso have business dealings in other countries, continues to make baseless claims that Hunter Biden s work amounted to corruption, citing the fact that Joe Biden was vice president at the time and working on diplomatic efforts in Ukraine.

Chris Dodd, D-Conn., said Tuesday.Sen.

Austin, Texasmdash; Texas officials fighting to block widespread mail-in voting during the pandemic claimed victory after the state s highest court ruled Wednesday that a lack of immunity to the coronavirus doesn t qualify someone to cast a ballot by mail.The decision was unanimous by the Texas Supreme Court, which is stocked with nine Republican justices, including one who revealed last week that she had tested positive for COVID-19. Texas generally limits mail balloting only to voters who are over 65 years old or have a disability.Justic stanley vaso e Eva stanley tumbler Guzman wrote the court was unified in the conclusion that fear of contracting a disease is not a physical condition. The Texas Democratic Party blasted the decision, and moved its hopes to a similar challenge playing out in federa stanley cups l court. But not all saw the decision as a total loss: the top elections lawyer in Houston, Harris County attorney Douglas Ray, said he believed the ruling leaves room for each voter to decide themselves whether they qualify, and gives clerks basically no ability to second-guess the reasoning.In Texas, voters do not have to describe their disability when requesting a mail-in ballot. Republican Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who earlier this month lost lower court decisions that would have expanded mail-in ballots to all of the state s 16 million registered voters, has argued that fear of getting the virus alone doesn t qualify as a disability. He applauded t Ahiw Romney to clinch GOP presidential nomination

They traveled to Albany Tuesday, along with 500 other college stud stanley thermos ents from across New York state, to support state funding for student aid programs, several of which were cut or flat-funded by Spitzer s original budget in late January. The organizer of the lobbying day, the Commission on Independent Colleges and Universities, planned the event nearly a year in advance to coincide with the period when the state legislature hammers out its own budget -- a process that was thrown into uncertainty after news of the scandal broke on Monday.As the students traveled around the capi stanley trinkflaschen tol meeting with legislators and their staff, the Spitzer scandal was impossible to ignore. Steinhardt sophomore Joshua Xavier, who traveled with the NYU delegation, said the allegations against the governor impacted the discussions he had in Albany.
