WASHINGTON --The Trump administration late Monday released a long-awaited list of 114 Russian politicians and 96 oligarchs who have flourished during the reign of President Vladimir Putin. That fulfills a demand by Congress that the U.S. punish Moscow for interfering in the 2016 U.S. election.

Ykkv Democrats celebrate collapse of GOP health care bill on social media
