Trump budget would sharply cut EPA role and programs
The budget envisions a near one third cut to the EPA, reducing staff from 15,000 to 12,000 and slashing the Hazardous Substance Superfund by 330 million. Enforcement and research funding would fall by about a third and half respectively, with large cleanup programs for the San Francisco Bay Great Lakes and Chesapeake Bay scrapped.

White House backs wiretapping claim amid bipartisan doubt
The White House stood by President Trump’s tweets alleging Obama wire tapped Trump Tower, despite Senate Intelligence leaders Burr and Warner saying there is no evidence of surveillance before or after the 2016 election. Spicer defended the tweets and suggested lawmakers lacked full evidence. Comey testimony looms as controversy intensifies.

Federal judges in Maryland and Hawaii blocked the revised travel ban citing statements by the administration. They said the order appeared aimed at discriminating against Muslims rather than solely protecting national security. Judge Theodore Chuang and Judge Derrick Watson highlighted that public remarks show a long‑stated intention.
