Seeking $100 million in damages, plaintiffs ask federal court to reverse town’s building-permit denials for homes complying with approved plans

Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats will leave his position next month, President Donald Trump announced Sunday, capping a tumultuous relationship in which the two were often at odds over the wisdom of negotiating with Russia, the status of Iran’s nuclear weapons program and the severity of foreign threats to U.S. elections.
Trump said in a tweet that he would nominate Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, a third-term congressman and prominent supporter, to replace Coats.
The announcement comes less than a week after former special counsel Robert Mueller warned on Capitol Hill that Russia will seek to interfere in U.S. elections in 2020.
