80 percent of economic gains from Trump tax plan will end up going to foreigners, CBO Says
"The report found significant differences between projected GDP, which measures the level of production in the U.S., and gross national product, which measures the income earned by all Americans. If the economic impact from GDP is higher than GNP, the difference between the two is income generated in the United States but going to foreigners. According to the CBO, on average 34 percent of income from the economic activity driven by the tax cuts is flowing out of the country, and in 2028, when the full effects of the tax cuts are in place, that number will increase to 80 percent."

So Donnie or Arnie, who did it best?
Fox News host Sean Hannity revealed as Michael Cohen's mystery client
"Michael never represented me in any matter, I never retained him in the traditional sense as retaining a lawyer, I never received an invoice from Michael, I never paid legal fees to Michael," Hannity said, before adding, "We definitely had attorney client privilege because I asked him for that but, you know, he never sent me a bill or an invoice or did I actually officially retain him."
Hannity later said that he "might have handed him 10 bucks."
Cohen's other client is Elliot Broidy, former deputy finance chairman of the Republican National Committee.

- Paid $1.6 million for a secret abortion for his mistress through Michael Cohen.
- Offered to end a U.S. government investigation of a Malaysian investment fund in exchange for $75 million.
- In exchange for UAE influence over US foreign policy, George Nader offered Elliott Broidy’s private security company $1 billion in international contracts, including over $200m in the UAE alone.
- In 2009, Broidy pleaded guilty in New York to bribing New York state pension officials with almost $1m in return for their $250m investment in an Israel-focused investment fund he helped to manage. He and the firm paid over $30m in fines; however, the charges against Broidy were downgraded, and he avoided jail.
- Is under investigation by the Prosecutor General of Ukraine for lobbying on behalf of Russian assets, which may also be a breach of the US Foreign Agents Registration Act.

WASHINGTON — President Trump rejected, for now at least, a fresh round of sanctions set to be imposed against Russia on Monday, a course change that underscored the schism between the president and his national security team.
The president’s ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki R. Haley, had announced on Sunday that the administration would place sanctions on Russian companies found to be assisting Syria’s chemical weapons program. The sanctions were listed on a menu of further government options after an American-led airstrike on Syria, retaliating against a suspected gas attack that killed dozens a week earlier.
But the White House contradicted her on Monday, saying that Mr. Trump had not approved additional measures.
“We are considering additional sanctions on Russia and a decision will be made in the near future,” Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary, said in a statement.

Oops, you beat me to it.
Trump puts the brakes on new Russian sanctions, reversing Haley’s announcement
Nikki Haley, the US ambassador to the UN, announced Sunday that the Trump administration was going to hit Russia with new sanctions on Monday over its support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s chemical weapons program in the wake of the April 7 chemical attack in Douma, Syria, that killed dozens of people. The sanctions were explicitly focused on Russian companies that deal in equipment linked to Assad’s chemical weapons program.
But just a day later, the White House backtracked, with press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders saying that the administration was merely “considering additional sanctions on Russia” and that “a decision will be made in the near future.”
So why the awkward reversal? Apparently President Trump wasn’t on board with sanctioning Russia.
According to the Washington Post, after Haley announced the sanctions on CBS’s Face the Nation Sunday morning, Trump told national security advisers he was “upset the sanctions were being officially rolled out because he was not yet comfortable executing them.”

"The broadband advisor selected by Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai to run a federal advisory committee was arrested last week on claims she tricked investors into pouring money into a multi-million dollar investment fraud scheme."

Imagine that. The Trump whisperer and Trump, sharing the same lawyer.
"Defense Secretary Jim Mattis urged President Trump to get congressional approval before the United States launched airstrikes against Syria last week, but was overruled by Mr. Trump, who wanted a rapid and dramatic response, military and administration officials said."
Mattis Wanted Congressional Approval Before Striking Syria. He Was Overruled.

Trump, contradicting his own words, denies firing Comey over Russia probe - CNNPolitics

However, Trump told NBC News last year that he was thinking of "this Russia thing" when he decided to fire Comey.
When the President fired Comey last May, the White House initially cited a recommendation of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who sharply criticized Comey's handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server as secretary of state.
A few days later, after Comey's ouster, Trump told NBC News' Lester Holt in an interview, "regardless of Rosenstein's recommendation, I was going to fire Comey."
"And in fact when I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said, 'You know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story, it's an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should have won'"
