Walsh was in Kyiv as a nurse and aid worker in the early days of the war in Ukraine. Ryan Routh says he was there recruiting foreign soldiers to fight the Russians. But Walsh never saw him make much progress and instead watched him grow increasingly angry and unhinged, kicking a panhandler, threatening to burn down a music studio that slighted him and speaking of his own children with seething hatred.

WASHINGTON (AP) — It's a now-familiar ritual in Washington: a federal prosecutor being summoned to Capitol Hill to discuss the findings of a politically explosive investigation.

Tuesday's hearing with special counsel Robert Hur, who investigated President Joe Biden's handling of classified information, broke little new legal or political ground.
