Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:02:05 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The House is pushing toward a vote Wednesday to formally authorize the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden as Republicans rally behind the charged process despite lingering concerns among some in the party that the investigation has yet to produce evidence of misconduct by the president.The vote comes as House Speaker Mike Johnson and his leadership team face growing pressure to show progress in what has become a nearly yearlong probe centered around the business dealings of Biden’s family members. While their investigation has raised ethical questions, no evidence has emerged that Biden acted corruptly or accepted bribes in his current role or previous office as vice president.Ahead of the vote, Johnson called it “the next necessary step.” He acknowledged there are “a lot of people who are frustrated this hasn’t moved faster.“ But Johnson said on Fox News he believes the resolution will pass the House and “we’ll be in the best position to do o...

Federal Reserve keeps key interest rate unchanged and foresees 3 rate cuts next year

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 20:02:05 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Federal Reserve kept its key interest rate unchanged Wednesday for a third straight time, a sign that it is likely done raising rates after having imposed the fastest string of increases in four decades to fight painfully high inflation.The Fed’s policymakers also signaled that they expect to make three quarter-point cuts to their benchmark interest rate next year. Those envisioned rate cuts — which wouldn’t likely begin until the second half of 2024 — suggest that the officials think high borrowing rates will still be needed for much of next year to further slow spending and inflation.In a statement it issued after its 19-member policy committee met Wednesday, the Fed said “inflation has eased over the past year but remains elevated.” It was the first time since inflation first spiked in 2021 that the Fed has formally acknowledged progress in its fight against accelerating prices. It also provided a hint that its rate-cut efforts may be over, saying it i...

EU failed to tackle corruption in Parliament, MEPs say

Suspects were later handed preliminary charges, accused of taking cash or gifts in exchange for doing the bidding of Qatar, Morocco and Mauritania in what became known as Qatargate.Parliament’s authorities have taken some steps to tighten the rules over lobbying and influence in EU democracy. But a number of MEPs used the debate in the Parliament on Wednesday to voice concerns that not enough has been done. “This whole scandal has sullied us all,” Karima Delli from t...
