In defending the unpopular and flawed House bill to replace Obamacare, a common Republican refrain is that it fully protects health-insurance coverage for people with pre-existing medical conditions.

President Donald Trump is leaning against invoking executive privilege to try to block fired FBI Director James Comey from testifying about their private conversations regarding an investigation into Trump's former national security adviser, two administration officials said Sunday.

The answer turns out to be surprisingly tricky, despite the precedent of U.S. v. Nixon, in which the Supreme Court made President Richard Nixon hand over the Watergate tapes to a federal judge.
In all the volumes written about the United States Senate, I'd be willing to bet that "fast and easy" has never been used to describe the chamber or what it should be--until Tuesday, when President Donald Trump tweeted that the Senate should "switch to 51 votes immediately, and get Healthcare and TAX CUTS approved, fast and easy ... ." Putting aside the fact that Democrats never did abandon the legislative filibuster, it's hard to think of a term that applies less to the Senate and the role it is designed to play than fast and easy, especially because the Founding Fathers created the Senate for the sole purpose of making sure that writing the laws for a large, diverse country would be the exact opposite of fast and easy.
First, the Russian-influence scandal is consuming Donald Trump, and this is likely to get worse as the special counsel's investigation moves forward.

"They were careless people, Tom and Daisy -- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made." Donald Trump's chief argument for withdrawing from the Paris climate accord is that it would destroy jobs, stifle growth, cause electricity blackouts and raise energy prices to ruinous levels.
Thanks to a quirk of scheduling, before she met Trump in Brussels last week, she spent a morning with former US president Barack Obama , who is still broadly admired in Germany . It is hard to exaggerate its potential geopolitical significance.
The White House is reviewing whether to invoke executive privilege to prevent former FBI Director James Comey from testifying before a congressional panel, an effort that may be an uphill legal battle for President Donald Trump.
