Award-winning Investigative Journalist Robert Parry (1949-2018)

Award-winning investigative journalist and founder/editor of ConsortiumNews.com, Robert Parry has passed away. His ground-breaking work uncovering Reagan-era dirty wars in Central America and many other illegal and immoral policies conducted by successive administrations and U.S. intelligence agencies, stands as an inspiration to all in journalists working in the public interest.

Robert had been a regular guest on our Between The Lines and Counterpoint radio shows -- and many other progressive outlets across the U.S. over four decades.

His penetrating analysis of U.S. foreign policy and international conflicts will be sorely missed, and not easily replaced. His son Nat Parry writes a tribute to his father: Robert Parry’s Legacy and the Future of Consortiumnews.

Trump Firing of FBI Director a Threat to U.S. Rule of Law

Interview with Caroline Fredrickson, president of the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy, conducted by Scott Harris

Almost daily, the Trump administration provokes a new scandal, makes official statements which later turn out to be false or incites government chaos. The latest episode began on May 15, when the Washington Post reported that President Trump revealed highly classified information during a White House meeting with Russia's U.S. ambassador Sergey Kislyak and Moscow's foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. According to current and former U.S. officials, Trump's disclosures jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State, an assertion that the White House denies. Story continues

New Trump Election Integrity Commission a "Sham"

Interview with Jenny Flanagan, vice president for state operations with Common Cause, conducted by Scott Harris

Not long after the 2016 presidential election, Donald Trump declared that he would have won the national popular vote and not merely by the Electoral College, if it hadn’t been for millions of illegal votes cast by non-citizens in several states. In fact, Trump lost the popular vote to Hillary Clinton by some 3 million votes and the repeated charge that there is widespread voter fraud across the U.S. has been debunked by numerous investigations and academic research. Story continues

Children's Climate Change Lawsuit Moves Forward in Court

Interview with Kelsey Juliana, Our Children's Trust lawsuit lead plaintiff, conducted by Scott Harris

On April 27, 14 of the 21 youth plaintiffs in a historic lawsuit against the U.S. government held a press conference in front of the Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C. Their case, filed by Our Children's Trust, aims to hold the federal government accountable for the failure to protect their right to a stable climate. Story continues
