PITTSBURGH (AP) — After being closed for more than three months due to flood damage, a funicular that gives sightseers and commuters a panoramic view of Pittsburgh has reopened. The reopening had a slight hiccup when power went out in the neighborhood just an hour after the Monongahela Incline restarted Friday morning. The incline opened in 1870 and is one of two in the city. It was the first passenger funicular railway built in the United States.
Former FBI Director James Comey said Thursday “it sure looks like” there is enough evidence to prosecute President Donald Trump for obstruction of justice contained in special counsel Robert Mueller’s report. In remarks at at a CNN Town Hall, Comey added “there’s no doubt” Mueller’s findings would have produced obstruction charges if Trump were not president. The Town Hall was held on the 2-year anniversary of Comey’s firing from the FBI by Trump. That move was one of 10 instances laid out in the Mueller report as possible obstruction of justice on the part of Trump.
