KABUL, Afghanistan --- A U.S. military aircraft crashed in eastern Afghanistan on Monday, a Taliban spokesman and Afghan journalist affiliated with the militant group said.

In an exchange on Twitter, he told The Associated Press that he saw two bodies and the front of the aircraft was badly burned. He added that the aircraft's body and tail were hardly damaged.

Billie Eilish is this year's big winner at the Grammy Awards, bagging all four major nods: Best New Artist, Song of the Year, Album of the Year, and Record of the Year. It's probably a whirlwind of emotions right now for the 18-year old, one of the youngest to get Best New Artist.

Democrats demanding new witnesses in Donald Trump's impeachment trial are seizing on a report that the President ordered former national security adviser John Bolton to keep military aid to Ukraine frozen in a bid to coerce political favors.

The news, first reported by The New York Times Sunday night, that President Donald Trump had told national security adviser John Bolton directly to continue to withhold approved military aid to Ukraine until that country agreed to announce investigations into Democrats, and specifically former Vice President Joe Biden, is an absolute bombshell with the very real possibility of fundamentally altering the calculus for Republican senators in the ongoing impeachment trial.

. KABUL, Afghanistan --- The U.S. military said Monday that it is investigating reports of an airplane crash in Taliban-controlled territory in Afghanistan. U.S. Army Maj. Beth Riordan, a spokeswoman for U.S. Central Command, said that it remained unclear whose aircraft was involved in the crash. Riordan declined to immediately comment further.

Some time in the next few days, the Senate is likely to give Donald Trump what he most craves — an acquittal in his impeachment trial. A late breaking report that John Bolton has information that implicates the US President could see the former national security adviser called to testify. In the slim chance that four Republicans defy their party and vote to hear more witnesses, the process may take slightly longer, but either way, acquittal is a forgone conclusion: The President's hold on grassroots conservative voters make it electoral suicide for members of the Senate's Republican majority to convict him. Here's what will happen next:
