"I was the driving force behind this whole thing," said retired Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman. "I'm getting some chills talking about it right now."
Vindman is talking about the impeachment of President Donald Trump. Resplendent in his Army uniform, he was the star witness against his commander-in-chief. In his November 2019 testimony before the House Intelligence Committee, he stated: "This is America. This is the country I've served and defended, that all my brothers have served. And here, right matters."
A military dog is being hailed as a hero in Colombia after detecting a bomb planted by guerrilla fighters that exploded during a military operation, authorities said, adding that the wounded canine's actions saved the lives of dozens of soldiers and civilians. The incident was announced just two days after a bomb strapped to a donkey exploded in the same area, killing one soldier and wounding two others.

European markets mostly fell Monday as investors digested President Trump's latest trade war salvos, which saw him threaten to hit the European Union and Mexico with 30% tariffs starting on August 1. Mr. Trump's threat came after a series of announcements last week that included warnings of a possible 50% levy on all copper imports and all goods from Brazil, 35% levies on Canadian goods, and a possible 200% tariff on imported pharmaceuticals.

Emergency crews were forced to suspend search operations in Kerr County, Texas, on Sunday, as the area hit hardest by catastrophic flash flooding earlier this month faced a renewed flood threat. Officials in Texas' rural and flood-prone Hill Country have said at least 161 people from the area remain missing in the aftermath of destructive July 4 storms that caused the Guadalupe River to overflow, and efforts to find them are ongoing.
