Here’s What You Need to Know to Start Your Day
Good morning! Hope you had a great weekend!
The word or today? Pervasive, pervade – spread through or all over. Because that’s what’s today is going to feel like.Â
Here are 5 things you need to know for today:
- TRUMP RUSSIA #1: Sally Yates, the former Acting Attorney General Donald Trump fired for refusing to defend his Muslim ban in court, will testify this afternoon before the Senate Justice Committee. So will former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. The Trump White House is probably freaking out. Time: 2:30 PM EDT.
- TRUMP RUSSIA #2: A golf writer says Eric Trump in 2014 told him banks won’t touch golf courses. Banks back then weren’t loaning money out much at all. But the Trump organization wasn’t worried. “We have all the funding we need out of Russia,” Eric Trump supposedly told him.
- TRUMP RUSSIA #3:Meet the man who took Rep. Devin Nunes’ spot on the House Intelligence Committee for Russia investigations:
- The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals will hear the Trump administration’s defense of its Muslim ban executive order, as it tries to convince a judge the Muslim ban has nothing to do with religion. Time: 2:30 PM EDT.
- President Trump will announce appointments of 10 lower court justices today, the first in what will be an attempt to fill 120 openings with uber-conservative judges.
