US House likely to reject move to limit Trump’s Iran war powers

The United States House of Representatives is expected to vote down a bid to limit President Donald Trump’s authority to continue military operations against Iran. The measure mirrors a resolution that failed in the Senate, where most Republicans blocked an attempt to require Trump to obtain explicit congressional approval before extending the campaign in Iran. Republicans, who hold a slim majority in both chambers, argue that the president has sufficient constitutional and statutory authority to act and describe the strikes on Iran as defensive and necessary. Democrats, backed by a few Republicans, insist that Congress must reassert its war powers, warning that the widening conflict with Iran risks dragging the US into a prolonged and open ended war in the Middle East. Analysts say even if the House and Senate were to pass a war powers resolution, Trump would almost […]

Trump uses State of the Union to justify possible Iran attack

President Donald Trump has used his State of the Union address to set out his case for a possible military attack on Iran, vowing he will never allow Tehran to obtain a nuclear weapon. He accused Iran of spreading terrorism, restarting its nuclear programme and developing missiles that he said could soon reach the United States.​ Trump told Congress that the Iranian leadership and its “murderous proxies” have brought terrorism, death and hate to the Middle East and beyond. He also blamed Tehran for deadly roadside bombings against US troops and civilians and for the deaths of thousands of protesters in recent anti government demonstrations, citing a figure of 32,000 people killed.​ Iran rejected his claims as false. Foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei wrote on X that statements about Iran’s nuclear work, long range missile capability and protest death toll […]

US Congress lists steps to tackle Christian persecution in Nigeria

The United States Congress has outlined a series of measures it says are needed to tackle the growing persecution of Christians and wider insecurity in Nigeria. Lawmakers recommended reforms in security, justice, financial oversight and foreign policy as part of a broader strategy.​ The proposals follow a report prepared for President Donald Trump by a congressional panel he set up to investigate the situation of Christians in Nigeria. Congress urged the president to formally classify Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern, name and shame perpetrators of attacks, impose sanctions on them and keep enforcing visa bans.​ The report describes Nigeria as one of the deadliest places in the world to be a Christian and cites years of violent attacks, killings, kidnappings and the destruction of churches and schools by armed groups, including Fulani militias and terrorist organisations. Lawmakers said […]

Stop Watching the Hearing Start Demanding the Audit

When United States Congress wants answers, the same pattern plays out. The biggest name gets called in. Cameras switch on. Soundbites travel faster than facts. But the real story rarely sits at the microphone. It sits in the documents.It sits in internal emails.It sits with the staff who drafted policies and carried them out. When a leader refuses to answer directly, it raises a basic question. Why does the investigation stop there? Accountability doesn’t start at the top. It follows the chain. Serious oversight means looking beyond the headline witness. It means calling the deputies.The policy writers.The supervisors who signed off on decisions. Anyone who has watched a U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Accountability hearing knows the pattern. High-profile testimony draws attention. But the details that explain what actually happened are usually buried deeper in the structure. Real investigations […]

U.S. bill targets Kwankwaso, Miyetti Allah over alleged religious violations

A new bill before the United States Congress could see former Kano State governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso and some Fulani groups hit with visa bans and asset freezes over alleged violations of religious freedom. The draft law, titled Nigeria Religious Freedom and Accountability Act of 2026, seeks targeted sanctions under the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act.​ The bill, sponsored by five US lawmakers including Riley Moore, lists Kwankwaso, Fulani ethnic nomad militias, the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria MACBAN and Miyetti Allah Kautal Hore among those that could face punishment. It also urges the US State and Treasury Departments to either impose sanctions or explain to Congress why they have not done so.​ Some sections of the proposed legislation direct the US Secretary of State to determine whether certain Fulani militias qualify to be designated as foreign […]

Pressure Mounts on Andrew Over Epstein Case

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is under renewed pressure from US lawmakers and relatives of Virginia Giuffre to testify in the United States over his connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. In an interview with the BBC, Democratic Congressman Ro Khanna criticized the Royal Family for what he described as a lack of transparency. He suggested it would be appropriate for Andrew to appear before US authorities. Fellow Democrat Congresswoman Teresa Leger Fernandez went further, urging King Charles III to instruct his brother to travel to the US and answer questions before Congress. On Monday, Buckingham Palace signaled a willingness to cooperate with law enforcement. A spokesperson said the Royal Family stood “ready to support” police if formally approached. The statement added that the King had expressed “profound concern” over the allegations involving his brother and that both the King and Queen’s […]

Ghislaine Maxwell refuses to testify before US Congress

Ghislaine Maxwell, the former associate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, declined to answer questions from the US House Oversight Committee on Monday, invoking her constitutional right to remain silent. Maxwell appeared by video link from a federal prison in Texas, where she is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking. The closed-door deposition was part of a congressional investigation into Epstein’s crimes and possible accomplices. House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer said Maxwell repeatedly pleaded the Fifth Amendment, which protects individuals from self-incrimination. “This is obviously very disappointing,” the Republican lawmaker said, adding that the committee had hoped to question her about Epstein’s criminal network and any potential co-conspirators. Comer stressed that the investigation aims to uncover the full truth and deliver justice for survivors of Epstein’s abuse. He also said that testimony from victims made clear that Maxwell […]

Clintons demand public hearing for Epstein testimony

Former US president Bill Clinton and ex secretary of state Hillary Clinton have asked that their upcoming testimony to Congress about ties to Jeffrey Epstein be held in public rather than behind closed doors.​ Both were ordered to give depositions before the Republican led House Oversight Committee, which is examining Epstein’s links to influential figures and how authorities handled information about his crimes. Hillary is scheduled to appear on February 26, with Bill to follow on February 27.​ Democrats argue the investigation is being used to attack political opponents of President Donald Trump, a longtime associate of Epstein who has not been called to testify. Republicans had earlier threatened the Clintons with a contempt vote if they refused to appear, but the couple have agreed to cooperate.​ Bill Clinton said holding the session in private would resemble a “kangaroo court” […]

US lawmakers arrive in Copenhagen to counter Trump’s Greenland threats

A bipartisan delegation of US lawmakers has arrived in Copenhagen to reassure Denmark and Greenland of strong congressional support amid President Donald Trump’s renewed threats to seize the Arctic island. Trump has called Greenland vital to US national security because of its strategic location and mineral wealth and has refused to rule out the possible use of force to acquire it.​ The 11‑member delegation is led by Democratic Senator Chris Coons and includes Republicans such as Senators Thom Tillis and Lisa Murkowski, who have publicly pushed back against any military move on Greenland. They plan to meet Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Greenlandic leaders to deliver a clear message that Congress stands firmly with NATO allies and supports Denmark’s sovereignty over the territory.​ Their visit follows high‑level talks in Washington between Danish Foreign Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen, Greenland’s Foreign […]

Trump wields first vetoes of his second term

US President Donald Trump has vetoed two bipartisan bills for the first time in his second term, blocking a Colorado water project and the expansion of a Native American reservation. Both measures would now need two thirds support in the House and Senate to become law without his signature.​ One vetoed bill, the Finish the Arkansas Valley Conduit Act, sought to complete a decades old pipeline to supply clean water to Colorado’s Eastern Plains. Trump told Congress the project was too costly and said he was protecting taxpayers from funding what he called expensive and unreliable policies. The plan, first proposed in the 1960s under John F Kennedy, had unanimous backing in both chambers, including support from Colorado’s Democratic senators and Republicans Lauren Boebert and Jeff Hurd.​ Boebert, once a close Trump ally but now at odds with him over […]
