These include leaks on the Iran war, particularly with regards to it creating a munitions shortage, per the outlet. Questions were posed to both military officers and civilian employees in August in the latest step of the Pentagon's expansive hunt for internal members giving unauthorized information to the press. Those put to the lie detector tests were asked if they have given such information to any journalists, including knowledge of the crucial munition shortage in the conflict between the United States and Iran.

Because diesel is used for many freight and delivery networks, higher diesel prices mean higher transportation costs for a long list of everyday goods. This could add to Republicans' political challenges ahead of November's midterm elections, with voters already sour on President Donald Trump's management of the economy. AP-NORC polling this summer showed 2 out of 3 U.S. adults disapproved of how Trump is handling the economy.

Kennedy's request came after CDC staffers had already accepted the state's characterization of the deaths as linked to measles, a Pennsylvania official said. Despite that, Erica Schwartz, the recently appointed director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, agreed with Kennedy's directive and implemented it without objection, said the three sources familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
