Following the terror attack in New York City on Tuesday, President Donald Trump is renewing calls for a merit-based immigration system that would favor those with a higher education or specific skills over those picked via random selection or who have family members living in the U.S. “We want to immediately work with Congress on […]

My 14-hour flight from New York to Seoul was just the beginning. The next morning, my CNN crew and I found ourselves strapped into the Navy’s C-2 COD (carrier onboard delivery) aircraft.

Paul Manafort shouldn’t be held under house arrest, his attorneys argued in a court filing Thursday.
