The  Minneapolis  Police Department is investigating claims by right-wing activist group Project Veritas that individuals tied to  Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., engaged in illegal ballot harvesting before the election. "The Minneapolis Police Department is aware of the allegations of vote harvesting. We are in the process of looking into the validity of those statements," a department statement read on Monday. "No further information is available at this time on this."

Riyadh says it busted a ‘terror cell’ that had received training from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, seizing weapons, explosives and arresting 10 people.   Saudi Arabia says it has taken down a “terrorist cell” that had received training from Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, arresting 10 people and seizing weapons and explosives, while Tehran says the allegation is a “complete fabrication”. A Saudi spokesman for the presidency of state security said in a statement published on the state-run Saudi Press Agency on Monday that three of those arrested had been trained in Iran while the rest were “linked to the cell in various roles”. Cell members “received military and field training, including on how to make explosives, inside Revolutionary Guards sites in Iran” for several weeks in late 2017, he said.

A new Senate report exposes shocking corruption involving  Hunter Biden , who made millions in  Ukraine  at the natural gas company  Burisma Holdings  when his father, Vice President  Joe Biden , was President Obama’s  Ukraine  point man. We’ve long known some of this, but the sheer scope of the influence peddling and sums involved are stunning. The 87-page document also exposes Hunter’s Russian connections, including a $3.5 million payment from the wife of a former Moscow mayor embroiled in scandal. A section on  China  details a web of lucrative ties between Hunter Biden’s firms and companies controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. It also documents many trips he took to  China  with Secret Service protection and to dozens of other countries. The deals involve millions of dollars and at least one contract involving  China ’s acquisition of an American firm that makes sensitive military technology. Oh, almost forgot. There’s this, which apparently is not particularly newsworthy: “H
