President Trump’s decision to strike an Assad airfield drew swift praise Thursday night from Republican senators who had urged him to take action in response to the chemical weapons attack in Syria, saying it sends an “important message” to the regime.

President Donald Trump said late Thursday the U.S. missile attack on a Syrian air base was in the nation's "vital national security interest."

FoxNews.com investigative reporter Malia Zimmerman told Fox News' "The O'Reilly Factor" Thursday evening that former national security adviser Susan Rice left "a very extensive paper trail" of unmasking requests related to members of President Trump's transition team.

Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said Thursday that “steps are underway” on an international coalition to pressure Bashar Assad from power, as President Trump was being briefed on military options for Syria – though what specific steps the U.S. and its allies might take in response to the latest deadly chemical weapons attack remained unclear.

A 46-year-old Kent man has filed a lawsuit accusing Seattle Mayor Ed Murray of having “raped and molested” him when the man was a 15-year-old high school dropout and Murray was in his early 30s, The Seattle Times reported Thursday.

Sen. James Risch, R-Idaho, told Fox News' "The First 100 Days" Thursday night that U.S. military action against Syrian President Bashar Assad "would probably take place," but did not specify what form that action might take.

Fact-checking website PolitiFact on Wednesday retracted a 2014 article that found it "Mostly True" the Obama administration helped broker a deal that successfully removed "100 percent" of chemical weapons from Syria.

Senate Republicans deployed the so-called “nuclear option” Thursday in their drive to confirm Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, dramatically changing the way the Senate does business in order to overcome a Democratic filibuster.

President Trump suggested possible imminent action against Syria for the alleged chemical attack against civilians in Syria.

What will come of the Supreme Court?

Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived Thursday for a two-day summit with President Trump at his Mar-a-Lago retreat, with North Korea and other pressing issues expected to top the agenda.

Senate Republicans deployed the so-called “nuclear option” Thursday afternoon in a bid to confirm Judge Neil Gorsuch to the Supreme Court, moving to overcome a Democratic filibuster just minutes earlier.

Senate Republicans teed up a “nuclear” showdown Thursday as they prepared for a major clash with Democrats over Judge Neil Gorsuch’s Supreme Court nomination – a confrontation likely to end with the majority party changing the way the Senate operates in order to install Gorsuch on the court.

Senate Republicans vowed President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch would be confirmed by Friday at midnight no matter what. But the road to get there – a Democratic filibuster, followed by Republicans taking the “nuclear” route – has lawmakers on both sides of the aisle agreeing it could hurt the chamber.

The president’s many critics are even questioning the location of his meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping – Trump’s stately Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida.
