That's gonna hurt: Pariah Sackler family are forced to relinquish control of Purdue Pharma and donate $3billion of their own wealth to fight opioid crisis in bid to settle federal OxyContin lawsuits.

The CIA's Kremlin mole whose existence was revealed this week could have been a source for the now-notorious Christopher Steele dossier on Donald Trump, a Russian campaigner has claimed. Oleg Smolenkov has been widely named in Russia as the CIA asset who was 'exfiltrated' last year by the agency amid fears he was in danger then lived outside Washington D.C. under his own name for a year before being outed. He has been said to have been so close to Vladimir Putin that he could photograph secret documents on the Kremlin strongman's desk, and provided key intelligence about Russia's attempts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. The Kremlin foreign minister has denied there was a mole and claimed the proof was that there was no election interference.
