Medium
House Democrats plan multi-committee investigations of the Trump administration if they win the House, and are keeping impeachment on the table.
A conditional plan attributed to House Democrats. It is reported by PBS NewsHour and carried by ABC News, but both appear to be the same wire story.
Medium
A Russian oligarch with reported Kremlin ties partly funded Donald Trump Jr.'s wedding party.
This is a specific factual premise hedged with 'reported', but the story does not name who reported it. It rests only on the single underlying wire story.
Medium
Americans were killed while protesting ICE operations, and Democrats plan to probe these as civil rights violations.
The deaths are presented as a premise of the planned inquiry without a named source for the underlying facts. It is plausible but comes from a single wire.
Medium
The administration has deported people to distant countries.
This is consistent with widely reported third-country deportations, but it is unsourced in the story's own wording.
Medium
The Kennedy Center closed, America at 250 celebrations received private funding, and USAID was shut down.
USAID's shuttering is well-known public fact. The Kennedy Center closing and the America at 250 private funding are stated without attribution and rest on the single wire story.
