Pena Resigns as VP Aide Amid Jackson Whistleblower Claims

Ronny Jackson. Pence aides say resignations flow through the White House Medical Unit, not the Vice President. In other items, Arizona teachers return after a six day walkout, Kansas moves to protect faith based adoption agencies, and Trump schedules a May meeting with Moon Jae in while denying a pullout.
