Rubio called Trump a 'con man' but now thinks he should be president
Long a star of the mainstream conservative movement, the senator from Florida — and onetime presidential candidate — is one of the starkest symbols of the Republican Party's rapid capitulation to Donald Trump.
The secret life of Kim Jong Un's aunt, who has lived in the U.S. since 1998
Since defecting from North Korea where she was known as Ko Yong Suk, the former royal has been living an anonymous life here in the United States, with her husband and three children.
 
The U.S. spent $500 million training Syrian rebels. One rag-tag group is left.
The New Syrian Army held its ground against the Islamic State without deserting, defecting or getting kidnapped. But a suicide attack delivered a heavy blow — nearly wiping out an already-small force that lacked weapons and equipment.
 
The man who seduced the 7th Fleet
He tempted his targets with the high life: whiskey, cigars, prostitutes and cash. His moles fed him bundles of military secrets and law enforcement files. All so he could rip off the Navy on an industrial scale for years and years. Now, the depth of the corruption is being exposed as the investigation reaches into the highest ranks of the Navy.
