When the Schwerzenbach family saw a wildfire racing toward their remote ranch in Lipscomb, Texas, there was no time to run. “We had a minute or two and then it was over us,” said 56-year-old Nancy Schwerzenbach. The fire, moving up to 70 miles per hour (112 kph), was one of several across more than 2 million acres (810,000 hectares) that hit the Texas Panhandle, Oklahoma and Kansas last week, causing millions of dollars of damage and killing thousands of livestock.
By Doina Chiacu WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said Congress was ready to "flex its muscles" if FBI Director James Comey did not answer questions by Wednesday about any Russian ties to the Trump campaign or provide evidence of a wiretapping warrant for Trump Tower. Graham, in a series of television interviews, said he was prepared to issue subpoenas for information on whether the Federal Bureau of Investigation received a warrant to tap Trump's phones during the 2016 presidential campaign, as the president alleged on Twitter, without offering proof. Additionally, Charles Grassley, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has threatened to hold up Trump's nominee for deputy attorney general, Rod J. Rosenstein, until Comey briefs the panel about alleged Russian ties to Trump.
