He was arrested for divulging classified information.

Susan Collins hands Trump the 50th vote against free and fair elections When it comes to free and fair elections, Collins is as conservative and anti-voting rights as they come.

The Boarmans forbid their family from drinking the water.

They stopped inviting friends over.

Tammy kept bottled water by the sink for brushing her teeth.

They hoped they were close to getting answers. Then the state closed their case.
