BALTIMORE (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden on Thursday likened the Republican presidential race to a "gift from the Lord" for Democrats trying to win control of the House and Senate.
Biden joked to House Democrats at their annual retreat in Baltimore that he doesn't know who he should root for among Republicans though he didn't refer to any by name. Many Republicans are worried that front-runner Donald Trump or Texas Sen. Ted Cruz could be a drag on other Republicans on the ballot in a general election.
BOSTON – A Chinese national who facilitated the sale of nuclear technology to Iran will spend almost a decade in jail while his Iranian accomplice roams free as part of a deal between the governments of the United States and Iran.
Chief Judge of the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts Patti B. Saris on Wednesday sentenced Sihai Cheng, who pleaded guilty last month to facilitating the sale of technology used to produced weapons-grade uranium to Iran, to nine years in federal prison.
