Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Wednesday that U.S. military action "is possible" in Venezuela to bolster opposition leader Juan Guaido's bid to oust President Nicolas Maduro. “The president has been crystal clear and incredibly consistent – military action is possible.

Pompeo and other officials, including President Donald Trump, have said "all options are on the table" but focused mostly on economic sanctions and other diplomatic tools.

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham apologized to kids watching the hearing Wednesday after he read aloud a text that called President Donald Trump a ‘fucking idiot.’ During his opening remarks ahead of Attorney General Bill Barr’s testimony on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia report, the senator from South Carolina read texts between FBI agents Lisa Page and Peter Strzok. “These are the people investigating the Clinton email situation and started the counterintelligence investigation of the Trump campaign. Compare them to Mueller,” Graham said, praising Mueller and criticizing FBI agents involved in the probe.
