The criminal indictments against New York Attorney General Letitia James and former FBI Director James Comey have been dismissed by a federal judge. Both claimed the appointment of Lindsey Halligan as the US attorney for the Eastern District was unlawful. Comey was indicted for allegedly lying to Congress about the Trump-Russia investigation.        The Thanksgiving travel rush is off to a busy, but smooth start so far. The TSA says it screened over two-and-a-half million travelers each day over the weekend, and they expect that number to top three-million in the coming days. So far today, there are over 49-hundred flight delays, and 260 cancellations in the U.S.        The Department of War says it's conducting a thorough review into allegations of misconduct by Arizona Senator Mark Kelly. The Department said Kelly, a retired Navy captain, could be recalled to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures. It comes as Kelly and other Democratic lawmakers told military members in a video to ignore orders issued by President Trump if they're illegal.        A Republican Senator says the country "can't afford" President Trump's proposed tariff dividend checks. Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson called the president's proposal to issue two-thousand-dollar tariff dividend checks for working-class Americans "completely unacceptable." Johnson, who is a leading fiscal hawk in the Senate, made the claim during a recent interview with Fox Business and warned that the nation could face a two-trillion-dollar deficit this year.        The "ShamWow Guy" is running for Congress. Texas state election records show TV pitchman Vincent Shlomi filed for an historically-conservative district north of Austin that includes the area around Fort Hood. Shlomi rose to fame for his infomercials, where he sold both an absorbent towel and a kitchen tool called The Slap Chop.        Actor and musician Donald Glover says he canceled his world tour last year after suffering a stroke. He talked about his health issues during his Childish Gambino performance at the Camp Flog Gnaw festival in Los Angeles over the weekend. Glover told the crowd he find out he had a stroke when he went to the hospital in Houston after playing a show in Louisiana with a really bad pain his head.
