President Trump travels today to Texas, where the GOP's holding a massive fundraiser
“to help boost their chances in the midterm elections, including a closely watched U.S. Senate”
race in Texas. More from NPR's Tamarkeeth. A GOP source tells NPR that Ken Paxton will attend the RNC fundraiser. Paxton is the scandal plagued Republican candidate for U.S. Senate that President Trump endorsed in a bitter primary earlier this year.
As of the last campaign finance reporting deadline, Paxton had less than $2 million cash
on hand. Compare that with the Democratic nominee, James Taloreco, who had a war chest of more than $20 million. That said, Republican campaign committees and allied superpax, including the President's MAGA Inc, have hundreds of millions of dollars at their disposal to try to boost Republican
candidates this fall. Tamarkeeth and PR News.
“Russia is playing down the significance of CIA director John Radcliffe's one day visit”
to Moscow earlier this week. We have an update from NPR's Charles Mane. "The head of Russia's foreign intelligence service, Sergei Netishkin, confirmed he had a working-level meeting with Radcliffe, but insisted there was nothing unusual about the talks themselves, and doing so in the rich can appear to echo President Trump's claim
that Radcliffe's visit to Russia was "semai routine." The trip is prompted a storm of media speculation. On Thursday, the Kremlin Directly denied multiple reports, the CIA director had warned Russia against attacking NATO member states in the Baltic region, and his daily call with reporters spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that story had no basis in reality, but was aimed
to justify NATO's further militarization along Russia's borders. It remains in PR News, Moscow. "Convicted war criminal Radcliffe Milattitch is dead," he was 84.

In 2017, then NPR correspondent Sylvia Pujole spoke to morning addition about the atrocities, linked to the former Bosnia and served general known as the Butcher of Bosnia. "I've got a chilling memory of seeing him in action in 1993. The Bosnia Serbs were about to sign a peace plan drawn up by U.S. and British diplomats. The meeting was at their stronghold near Sarajevo Serbian leader, Slobodomi Lossov, which
was there too, pressing for approval so he could get international sanctions on Serbian lifted. The atmosphere was very tense. Reporters were surrounded by Serb militia men carrying Kalashnikovs. They were menacing, shoving us around, trying to prevent us from listening to what was
happening in the room next to us. Suddenly in the middle of the night, Milattitch stormed into the assembly room and rolled out giant maps of Bosnia covered with small crosses. In a fiery speech, the strutting general said wherever a Serb is buried, that is Serbian land." Former NPR correspondent Sylvia Pujole, this is NPR news.
