Hawley

Senator Josh Hawley has publicly accused special counsel Jack Smith of lying under oath during congressional testimony, saying he has documents to back the claim. The accusation escalates Republican pressure on Smith over his investigations into Donald Trump, and the claim is drawing strong reaction along partisan lines as calls for accountability grow.

Senators Elizabeth Warren and Josh Hawley are launching a bipartisan investigation into insurance companies over claims that resulted in zero payouts for policyholders. The unusual pairing of a progressive Democrat and a conservative Republican signals cross-party concern that insurers are denying or underpaying legitimate claims. The probe could examine industry practices on claim denials and settlement tactics, and may lead to hearings or regulatory pressure on the insurance sector.
