Indeed, senior staffers and Department of Homeland Security officials…

(SAN DIEGO) — The Trump administration wants up to two years to find potentially thousands of children who were separated from their families at the border before a judge halted the practice last year, a task that it says is more laborious than previous efforts because the children are no longer in government custody.

The members of Congress who could most use a ‘Queer Eye’ makeover, ranked – Washington Examiner
The Fab Five went to Washington, and a few lawmakers could really use their help. Four members of the “Queer Eye” crew — Bobby Berk, Tan France, Antoni Porowski, and Jonathan Van Ness — visited D.C. this week to discuss legislation such as the Equality Act and the Violence Against Women Act. But they really missed out on some makeover opportunities. Now in its third season, the remade “Queer Eye”…

Here’s how the battle for Trump’s tax returns could play out – ABC News
President Donald Trump’s lawyer said on Friday that the Internal Revenue Service should reject a request from the Democratic chair of the House tax-writing committee to produce the president’s tax returns. “If the IRS acquiesces to Chairman Neal’s request, it would set a dangerous precedent,” William Consovoy said in a letter to Treasury Department General Counsel Brent McIntosh. “Once this Pandora’s box is opened, the ensuing tit-for-tat will do lasting…

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump told reporters on Friday that he would not attend this year’s White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner, and will instead hold a rally the evening of April 27.
