The Obama Administration is stepping up its efforts to press Congress to provide additional funding for infrastructure projects, with just weeks remaining until the nation’s highway trust fund runs dry. Obama will reiterate his call to pay for funding the trust fund with business tax reform this week, a White House official said, a proposal that has foundered in Congress this election year.

    Following former President Trump’s first criminal conviction—and his rambling against the outcome—he’s claiming that the possibility of being sentenced to house arrest or jail time doesn’t bother him. “I’m okay with it,” Trump said on Fox & Friends Weekend, in his first interview since a dozen jurors handed down guilty verdicts on 34 of 34 felony charges for falsifying business records on Thursday. The Fox & Friends hosts said they spent 90 minutes interviewing the former president at his Bedminster, New Jersey estate.

    GOP Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), who previously called January 6 rioters “insurrectionists” who “should face the full extent of federal law,” is now singing a different tune: Many of those insurrectionists, he believes, should be “considered” for, and receive, presidential pardons.
