Political Cornflakes: White House asked Navy to hide warship named for John McCain

The U.S. Navy reportedly tried to hide a warship named after John McCain from President Donald Trump’s view ahead of his visit to Japan last week — putting a spotlight on an old feud between the president and the late Arizona Senator. Trump, who once disparaged McCain’s service because he had been held as a war prisoner in Vietnam, denied having any involvement. [NYTimes]

Topping the news: As more congressional Democrats call for Trump’s impeachment in light of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s news conference Wednesday, Rep. Ben McAdams, the only Democratic member of Utah’s federal delegation, said such a proceeding would require a “high bar” and bipartisan support.
