Former President Donald Trump has added two former federal prosecutors to his impeachment defense team, according to one of the lawyers. Greg Harris told the Associated Press that he and former acting U.S. Attorney Johnny Gasser were added to the team. A call to the private practice the men co-founded wasn’t immediately returned, nor were emailed inquiries. Harris was a federal prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of South Carolina, specializing in the prosecution of white-collar crimes. His biography says he views the experience as one that helps him obtain the best results for the clients he...

DALLAS (Sept. 29) - Dallas Mavericks forward Josh Howard took a first step toward repairing his damaged reputation Monday, saying he was sorry for disrespecting the national anthem.

In most of the news items, the only quote listed is "The Star Spangled Banner is going on right now. I don't even celebrate that [expletive]. I'm black." But I was watching CNN and they played a clip in which he mentioned Obama several times. Nary a word here however.

Disgusting anti-American comments from ungrateful, unappreciative millionaires who have reaped the benefits of living in this country enrage me. Especially infuriating are remarks from now rolling-in-it street thugs who became rich by having extraordinary athletic ability – like, for instance, being able to bounce a ball and dunk it through a hoop. These gutter punks who openly, defiantly, blatantly, and without a shred of humility, disrespect the very country that afforded them the opportunity to be this repulsive are a complete disgrace. Dallas Mavericks forward Josh Howard, a man whose judgment has come into question before, has once again shown...

Howard approaches a camera on the field at a charity football game AND SAID, The Star Spangled Banner is going on right now. I don't even celebrate that (explevite)I'm Black. WHF?? HEY JOSH, what's the name of the country that gives you the chance to earn that kind of money and freedom?? I guess he must of checked with his boss, Mark Cuban, and Mark told him that was OK to say

Josh Howard's decision-making has again come into question after he was filmed disrespecting the national anthem. And the Mavericks are taking steps to help Howard and their other players avoid controversy in the future. In a video posted on YouTube, the swingman is shown at Allen Iverson's charity flag football game in July. When the national anthem is being sung, various participants are shown mugging for the camera. When the camera gets to Howard, he says: " 'The Star-Spangled Banner' is going on. I don't celebrate this [expletive]. I'm black." Howard goes on to make a difficult-to-discern comment that includes...

When Jonathan Wald was fired as executive producer of the "Today" show, he says, "I wanted to stay in the game and get back into the daily battle." When Josh Howard was forced to resign as executive producer of "60 Minutes II" after the botched story on President Bush and the National Guard, "I frankly wasn't sure, after my last experience, whether I wanted to work in television again." Both men landed at CNBC, where they are helping to retool programming on a business channel that has struggled in the ratings since the dot-com bust six years ago. Wald helped...

In March, TVNewser reported a rumor that former 60 Minutes Wednesday EP Josh Howard had been spotted in the halls of CNBC.

An...

WASHINGTON -- The executive producer of CBS's "60 Minutes" midweek broadcast, who partially blamed the Bush White House for bogus documents used by Dan Rather, is a former staffer for New York Democrats who was still making political contributions while on the network's payroll. Josh Howard served on the staff of Rep. Stephen Solarz and worked for Sen. Charles Schumer when Schumer was a state assemblyman, a background confirmed by CBS. Federal election reporting records show that Howard, identifying himself as a CBS employee, contributed $1,000 in each of Solarz's last two campaigns for Congress in 1990 and 1992. When...
