Trump Impeachment
A whistleblower complaint led to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi launching a formal impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump. The inquiry comes after a phone call in which President Trump suggested Ukraine President Volodymyr investigate Joe Biden and his son.
"The actions of the Trump presidency revealed dishonorable facts of the president's betrayal of his oath of office, betrayal of national security and betrayal of the integrity of our elections," Pelosi said on Tuesday.
An outline of the phone call has since been released by the White House.
Apple Warning
After releasing iPhone 11 and iOS 13, Apple has issued a warning concerning security and third-party keyboards.

The issue can be avoided on older devices by not updating to iOS 13, but the new iPhone and iPad come with the faulty software already installed.

FDA enlists DEA for help Investigating Vaping Effects

“To be clear, if we determine that someone is manufacturing or distributing illicit, adulterated products that caused illness or death for personal profit, we would consider that a criminal act,” FDA Commissioner said.
