@thehill: JUST IN: Justice Dept says surveillance of Trump campaign adviser Carter Page lacked evidence DOJ says surveillance of Trump campaign adviser Page lacked evidence
@bradheath
This is a big deal. The Justice Department is conceding that two of the four FISA applications it used to conduct surveillance of former Trump campaign aide Carter Page were not lawful, and it's not defending the legality of its other two applications.

Trump has been accused of taking a “wrecking ball” to the relationship between Britain and the U.S. after the U.S. State Department rejected a U.K. government request to extradite Anne Sacoolas, who is accused of killing a teenage motorcyclist. https://trib.al/wSCAeZ5

The Pentagon says 34 service members have been diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries resulting from Iranian missile strike. Leaving Davos, Trump said, "I heard that they had headaches and a couple of other things...I can report, it is not very serious."

President Trump's advisers warned the commission behind the presidential debates that he may not participate if the process is not "fair," and floated finding an outside firm to host the debates instead Trump May Skip Debates, or Seek New Host, if Process Isn’t ‘Fair’
@jdawsey1
Trump has told advisers that they have leverage in debate discussions because of his ratings -- and that they could stage debates without the usual debates commission. https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...64fb28-3ed0-11ea-971f-4ce4f94494b4_story.html …
