The New York Times reported that law enforcement and intelligence agencies intercepted calls and phone records showing Donald Trump's presidential campaign aides, as well as other associates, having repeated contact with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election.

Since she used a Salon piece written a day earlier by a former colleague of mine, Nico Lang, to illustrate how liberals are "maliciously mischaracteriz[ing] FADA and other religious-freedom protections," it seems only fair to issue a point-by-point response to the specious claims made in the National Review.
But three weeks into his presidency, he has been repeatedly disarmed and frustrated by partisan opponents and the machinery of a government designed to check his power. It hasn't been for a lack of trying.
President Donald Trump's national security adviser addressed U.S. sanctions against Russia in his conversations with the country's ambassador while President Barack Obama was still in office, a new report said, contradicting previous claims that the matter was not discussed.

An erratic president causes unprecedented chaos in his first two weeks in office.
