Democrats in the House of Representatives are expected to present two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, according to sources who spoke anonymously to the Associated Press.
One of the charges will be for Trump's alleged abuse of presidential power and the other will be for obstructing Congress. There may also be a third charge for obstruction of justice, sources say, but that has not been confirmed.
Let's start by acknowledging a few things. December, for prime ministers juggling agendas and commitments on multiple fronts, can be trying.
Parliament is over for the year and people want things to be quiet, but politics in the run down to Christmas is about as orderly and elegant as a bus hurtling in the direction of a hairpin bend. So this is my way of saying Scott Morrison is a busy bloke with a lot on his mind.
He's got the midyear economic forecast next week. On Monday, cabinet was wrestling with big issues, like the location of defence work and the price regulations governing airports - and that was before a volcano eruption in New Zealand loomed shockingly into view.
The former MI6 officer Christopher Steele had a "personal" relationship with Ivanka Trump and gifted her a "family tartan from Scotland" as a present, the long-awaited report by US Department of Justice inspector general, Michael Horowitz, revealed on Monday.
Horowitz's review of the FBI's 2016 investigation into Donald Trump's 2016 election campaign and its links with Russia includes fresh details of Steele's interactions with the FBI, and startling claims about his relationship with the Trumps dating back to the period before he wrote a controversial dossier on Trump.
Nicola Gobbo says she fears that Victoria Police may kill her and does not trust them enough to enter witness protection in Victoria.
The barrister-turned-informer also says she may "do things differently" in her career if she had her time again. The woman dubbed Lawyer X made the comments in an interview with ABC's 7.30, filmed in a secret location overseas to protect her whereabouts.
The interview is expected to go to air on Tuesday night. The police handling of Ms Gobbo as an informant - where she provided information to police on her own clients - is the subject of a royal commission that has this week seen the top brass of Victoria Police take to the witness stand to explain their role in Ms Gobbo's conduct.
