• Five years ago: Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky suffered five broken ribs in an attack by a longtime next-door neighbor as Paul did yard work at his home. (Rene Boucher pleaded guilty to assaulting a member of Congress and was sentenced to 30 days in prison.). Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who walked away from his post in Afghanistan and triggered a search that left some of his comrades severely wounded, was spared a prison sentence by a military judge in North Carolina; President Donald Trump blasted the decision as a "complete and total disgrace." Netflix said it was cutting all ties with Kevin Spacey after allegations of sexual harassment and assault, and that it would not be a part of any further production of "House of Cards" that included him. A massive report from scientists inside and outside the government concluded that the evidence of global warming was more vital than ever.
