Lawmakers reviewing the issue of sexual harassment on Capitol Hill say they're disturbed by what they've found. They say congressional staff members are unclear about where they can go for help and they don’t believe there will be repercussions for perpetrators. And the current requirements for reporting harassment can work against those filing complaints. One of the congresswomen leading a task force on the matter is Florida Republican Kat Cammack. She says the current system is designed to have a chilling effect on victims who come forward. The task force is expected to release recommendations with a goal of taking action before year's end.

President Donald Trump’s abrupt decision to waive sanctions on Russia is drawing outrage and concern from members of Congress. Trump's move came late Friday, two days before the penalties were scheduled to take effect. Republican Sen. Thom Tillis says Trump's move is “beyond irresponsible.” Lawmakers had overwhelmingly passed the legislation in a bipartisan display of U.S. support for Ukraine. Trump signed it into law last month. The waiver is the latest instance of Trump drawing the U.S. closer to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Trump recently announced a diesel deal with Putin to import Russian energy in hopes of curbing high gas prices in the U.S. that are roiling the midterm elections.
