WASHINGTON (AP) — Sarah Palin, the vice presidential candidate on the Republican Party ticket in 2008, is harshly criticizing House Speaker Paul Ryan for withholding his support from likely Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Palin said Sunday that Ryan's statement that he isn't ready to embrace Trump "was not a wise decision of his."
WASHINGTON (AP) — Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew is calling attention to the effect Puerto Rico's $70 billion debt crisis is having on the millions of Americans who live there and on Congress' struggle to come up with a solution.
Lew is making a one-day trip to Puerto Rico on Monday, part of the Obama administration's campaign to pressure Congress to act. House Republicans are expected to announce new legislation this week to create a control board to help manage the U.S. territory's debt and oversee some debt restructuring. It will be the third draft of the House bill, which has come under fire from some conservatives who worry it would set a precedent for financially ailing states.
