TORONTO - Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin stood at the lectern at the Hockey Hall of Fame on Wednesday afternoon, but he wanted the spotlight to be on his teammate Tom Wilson, the hometown boy. Growing up in Toronto, Wilson had visited the Hall of Fame often, for birthday parties or just to appreciate the history, and Ovechkin spent most of his speech talking about how happy he was for Wilson to be memorialized there. This visit was more triumphant than those as a kid, a Stanley Cup champion there to represent the Capitals as they donated their commemorative ring for display. Wilson's victory tour continued a night later, with the winger starring in the Capitals' 3-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Richard Blumenthal said Thursday that he thinks Congress will subpoena special counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian interference in U.S. elections if lawmakers don't receive a comprehensive summary of the document from the Justice Department.

"But there will also be a public perception of cover-up," Blumenthal said.

WASHINGTON (AP) - The father of an Alabama woman who joined the Islamic State in Syria has filed suit against the Trump administration seeking to allow her return to the United States. Twenty-four-year-old Hoda Muthana is in a Syrian refugee camp with her 18-month-old son after she fled what's left of the Islamic State's self-declared homeland. Her lawyers say she regrets joining the organization.

That determination was initially made by the Obama administration after she joined IS.

In a Thursday interview with The Associated Press, the 62-year-old Republican raised serious concerns about Trump's leadership but said he had no interest in a "kamikaze mission."

John Locher/AP Fox News has booked Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York. Fox News anchor Chris Wallace will be filling in for anchor Bret Baier for the interview on Monday.

Christopher Paul Hasson studied a manifesto by far-right Norwegian terrorist Anders Breivik as he plotted the murders of prominent journalists and politicians - an especially alarming accusation because Breivik murdered 77 people in two attacks in Norway in 2011.

He will be eligible for release in 2033, when he will be 53, the New York Times reports. Read the full article on The Wrap
