FBI Director James Comey makes a statement regarding Hillary Clinton's emails at FBI Headquarters in Washington, D.C., July 5, 2016. The Justice Department's internal watchdog has concluded that the FBI's most controversial decisions during the 2016 presidential election were not politically-motivated, but the FBI's reputation has nonetheless been gored by the actions of some of its agents -- findings that come after a nearly two-year assault on the FBI by Donald Trump and other Republicans alleging FBI officials allowed political considerations to influence investigations.
Bowing to pressure from anxious allies, President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday ending the process of separating children from families after they are detained crossing the U.S. border illegally.

A federal appeals court on Monday upheld a $28.1 million judgment awarded to six people who were wrongfully convicted of murder in one of the nation's largest false-confession cases, a ruling that could force a Nebraska county closer to bankruptcy.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement was created in the panicked days after 9/11 to enhance national security.

I'm admittedly a bit mystified that this question is being openly discussed by the president's team, but here we are. The "issue" was thrust into the open over the weekend, when presidential lawyer Rudy Giuliani took the media's bait and speculated in real time -- you could almost see the thought bubble over his head -- over the question on live television.
