The US Senate has agreed new rules that allow members to bring infants into the chamber when they vote. The move comes a week after Tammy Duckworth became the first sitting Us senate to give birth while in office. She had expressed concern about how she would be able to care for her new-born daughter while carrying out her constitutional duties.

On Friday, the Food and Drug Administration announced a voluntary recall on behalf of Rose Acre Farms, based in Seymour, Indiana, United States.

U.S. President Donald Trump attacked former FBI Director James Comey on Friday as a “weak and untruthful slime ball,” reacting to news accounts that cited Comey as searingly critical of the president in a memoir due to be published next week.

“It was my great honor to fire James Comey!” Trump said in a series of angry Twitter messages, adding he had been a terrible FBI director.

Trump fired Comey last May and has publicly criticized him since then, but not to this extent. His virulent attack reflected months of simmering anger against a career law enforcement bureaucrat who has emerged as one of his fiercest opponents.

U.S. Director of the CIA Mike Pompeo made a secret visit to North Korea over the Easter weekend and met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to discuss a planned summit with U.S. President Donald Trump, U.S. officials said on Tuesday.

Pompeo’s trip made him the most senior U.S. official ever known to have met with Kim and provided the strongest sign yet to Trump’s willingness to become the first serving U.S. president ever to meet a North Korean leader.

James Comey has said Donald Trump is "morally unfit to be president."

Mr Comey was giving his first major television interview since he was fired by President Trump last year.

He told ABC News that Mr Trump lies constantly and may have obstructed justice.
