A man’s now in custody in connection with a wave of parcel bombs addressed to prominent critics of President Trump, hours after two more suspicious packages were intercepted.

The former Vice President Joe Biden and the actor Robert De Niro are the latest high-profile critics of President Trump to be targeted by suspicious parcels.

The Democrats are hoping they claim an unexpected mid-term win in Texas, even though they haven’t won a state race there since the 90s. The current senator is Republican Ted Cruz but there’s a wonderkid challenger who’s making him sweat. We caught up with both candidates on the campaign trail last week, when the caravan…

What’s happened to the families who got caught up in President Trump’s zero tolerance policy at the border? The hundreds of parents who were separated from their children and deported without them? In the second of his special reports, we revisited one Guatemalan mother who was sent home without her family.

Reports from Guatemala say a group of Central American migrants have torn down a border gate and are rushing towards a border bridge into Mexico. President Trump, seizing on what he sees as a vote-winning issue as the mid-term elections approach, has threatened to shut off all access to the United States, using military force…

The sexual assault allegations encircling President Trump’s nominee for Supreme Court Judge haven’t stopped his progress to the benches of America’s highest court. He denies the allegations.

Former FBI Special Agent, Mike Campi, tells us what can reasonably be achieved in a week as President Trump confirms FBI investigation into the allegations against Brett Kavanaugh.

World leaders are in New York for the second day of the UN General Assembly, and President Trump has been chairing a session on non-proliferation. We speak to Dr Kiron Skinner, from the US State Department, and Nathalie Tocci, special adviser to EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini.

The Senate Judiciary Committee says it’s investigating a third sexual misconduct allegation against President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee, Judge Brett Kavanaugh, during his time at high school. Julie Swetnick made her claims in a sworn affidavit. Judge Kavanaugh has described it as “ridiculous and from the Twilight Zone”.

The United Nations General Assembly is traditionally a forum to discuss matters of international significance, but with accusations of sexual misconduct swirling around President Trump’s nominee for the Supreme Court, he could not help but defend his man. Sitting next to the Colombian President, Trump called into question the account of a second accuser and said the…

We’ve had a contrast in tone from President Trump, if not in message. Last year he turned up for his first UN General Assembly to launch his America first message. He railed against the embarrassing Iran deal and threatened North Korea with total destruction. This year America is still first, but his language was perhaps more…
