Republican calls for Senate investigation of Trump Jr wedding paid for by Russian oligarch

On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump called for all members of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to resign immediately. He described the institution as "out of control" and a "group of evil people." Addressing the United Nations General Assembly at UN headquarters in New York, Trump urged all nations to "officially resign from this rogue institution" right away.
