WASHINGTON — What did about three doz-
en House Democrats do over their summer vaca-
tion? They decided they wanted to try to impeach
President Trump.
As lawmakers returned to the nation’s capital
this week, the addition of those new converts
means more than half of the 235 Democrats in
the House now support the start of an impeach-
ment inquiry against Trump. Lawmakers said
constituents at town hall meetings and other
events over the summer break sent a resounding
message that they want action and accountability.
“People had a lot of questions, and that is how
I ended up making the statement I did,” said Rep-
resentative Lauren Underwood of Illinois, a

WASHINGTON — President Trump on Tues-
day pushed out John R. Bolton, his third nation-
al security adviser, amid fundamental disputes
over how to handle major foreign policy chal-
lenges like Iran, North Korea, and most recently
Afghanistan.
The departure ended a 17-month partner-
ship that had grown so tense that the two men
even disagreed over how they parted ways, as
Trump announced on Twitter that he had fired
the adviser only to be rebutted by Bolton, who
insisted he had resigned of his own accord.
A longtime Republican hawk known for a
combative style, Bolton spent much of his ten-
ure trying to restrain the president from making
what he considered unwise agreements with the
United States’ enemies. Trump bristled at what
he viewed as Bolton’s militant approach, to the
point that he made barbed jokes in meetings
about his adviser’s desire to get the United
States into more wars.
Their differences came to a climax in recent
days as Bolton waged a last-minute campaign to
stop the president from signing a peace agree-
ment at Camp David with leaders of the radical
Taliban group. He won the policy battle as
Trump scrapped the deal but lost the larger war
when the president grew angry about the way
the matter played out.

About a year and a half into sprawling crimi-
nal investigations of trooper payroll fraud, Mas-
sachusetts State Police officials this summer sud-
denly unearthed boxes of key documents that
prosecutors had long sought but State Police said
didn’t exist, according to a recent court filing.
The newly discovered citation and trooper ac-
tivity records, most of which are believed to be
from 2014 and earlier, point to wrongdoing by at
least one trooper — and potentially much more.
The emergence of such files could lead to ad-
ditional criminal charges, legal experts said, and
raises more concerns about State Police record
keeping and its ability and willingness to investi-
gate its own troopers.
“A thorough investigation should have uncov-
ered that evidence,” said Peter Elikann, a Boston-
based criminal defense attorney.
Elikann and another attorney told the Globe
that the dates of the newly discovered records
put them just past, if not near, the five- and six-
year statute of limitations for prosecuting troop-

For older Americans navi-
gating the thicket of drug insur-
ance plans offered under Medi-
care, there’s been one online
tool they’ve turned to the most:
a link that lets them quickly cal-
culate the total cost of each
plan for their specific medica-
tions and circumstances.
But late in August, when
Medicare unveiled a revamp of
its website for Part D, the pre-
scription drug benefit, that fea-
ture was omitted, sparking an
outcry from senior advocates,
brokers, and volunteers who
help enrollees sift through the
options.
Federal officials are now rac-
ing against an Oct. 15 deadline
to fix the flaw in their redesign
— reinstating a function en-
abling total-cost comparisons
in competing plans — before
tens of millions of Medicare
beneficiaries log in to select the
cheapest drug plans for the
coming year.
At issue is an upgrade of the
online tool called Medicare Plan

Business has been down at Doyle’s, as Jamaica Plain continues to transform.

The lunchtime crowd was light at the
venerable Jamaica Plain pub on Tuesday,
but the voice of the storied barroom’s own-
er was heavy and somber when he con-
firmed the rumors later in the day:
Doyle’s, whose rich and colorful history
stretches to the late 1800s, is approaching
its last call.
“As of right now, I don’t know when our
last day is going to be,’’ Gerry Burke Jr.
told me. “But they say this takes time.
We’ll probably have a month or two left.”
“It’s been a local melting pot. As far as
people can remember this is where they
came to find a job and a place to live.’’
In other words, a local touchstone. A
Boston institution. A fabled political hang-
out. A barroom where bankers and law-
yers sat next to welders and painters. And
loved it.
Soon Doyle’s will take its place in the
history books with the old Boston Garden,
the elevated Expressway, and a parade of
politicians who sipped beer, solicited
votes, and shook everyone’s hands.
“It was so much fun to be there,’’ said

Just a day after formally
signing with the Patriots, the
controversial and gifted re-
ceiver Antonio Brown was ac-
cused of raping his former
trainer, who said in a federal


lawsuit filed Tuesday that he
sexually assaulted her three
times in the past two years.
The lawsuit, filed in the
Southern District of Florida,
alleges Brown sexually as-
saulted Britney Taylor, a
gymnast he met while they

were attending Central Mich-
igan University together.
Brown later hired Taylor as a
trainer.
In her lawsuit, Taylor al-
leges that Brown sexually as-
saulted her twice during
training sessions in June
2017.
Then, the lawsuit says, on
May 20, 2018, Brown forced
her onto a bed, pushed her

face into the mattress, and
raped her. She tried to resist
him, screaming and repeat-
edly shouting “no” and
“stop,” the lawsuit says, but
Brown refused.
Brown’s legal team re-
leased a statement denying
the allegations.
“Mr. Brown denies each
and every allegation in the
