FBI deals President Trump another setback

FBI Director James Comey publicly confirmed that his agency is investigating whether President Donald Trump’s campaign worked with Russia to interfere with the 2016 U.S. election. Appearing before the House Intelligence Committee yesterday, Comey also said he has “no information that supports” Trump’s claim that former President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower.

Trump takes dig at Colin Kaepernick

Trump referenced Colin Kaepernick’s unemployment status during a rally in Kentucky yesterday, telling the crowd in Louisville that he had read a report that claimed the free-agent football player hasn’t been picked up yet by any team because NFL owners “don’t want to get a nasty tweet from Donald Trump.” The former San Francisco 49ers quarterback sparked outrage last season for kneeling during the national anthem at games.
