White House officials are conducting reviews on how the US could respond in the event of Russia curtailing global oil products due to ongoing hostilities with Ukraine.

Officials are discussing ways which include the potential release of the government’s strategic oil reserves, two officials, on condition of anonymity, told The Washington Post.

The latest campaign finance reports show Donald Trump’s Save America ended January with $108m.

The former president’s political action committee, however, did not donate funds to any candidates he is backing.

Mr Trump has endorsed over 120 candidates since leaving the White House, over half of whom are running for federal office.

Mr Trump’s leadership PAC took in $4.1m and spent $1.5m in January, according to its latest filing with the Federal Election Commission, reported Bloomberg.

In comparison, the Republican National Committee finished last month with less than half that amount, $51.7m, in the bank.

Save America has donated just $350,500 to candidates since July. That’s less than the $838,000 the PAC spent on event staging and related expenses in January.

A QAnon-supporting Georgia congresswoman who once suggested California wildfires were caused by a Jewish-controlled space laser and expressed fears that a chilled tomato soup police force would be deployed against her by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is now complaining that she is being treated as “crazy” by Democrats and the American press.

A new ad from an anti-Trump group favoured among progressives and liberals on social media is swinging at the former president over the decision several witnesses summoned by the January 6 committee for testimony made to plead the Fifth.

Security fencing could once again ring the US Capitol as law enforcement authorities prepare for potential attempts to disrupt President Joe Biden’s first State of the Union address with the same tactics used by truck drivers who paralysed Canada’s capital and shut down traffic over a vital US-Canada trade route earlier this month.

As the former secretary of state and defeated 2016 presidential candidate returned to the national stage, her main target was a familiar foe. Could this mean a new role – and perhaps even another tilt at the White House, asks Richard Hall.
