1. Trump had Jeff Sessions fire Andrew McCabe, the now-former deputy director of the FBI, just days before he was set to retire. Sessions announced the decision to fire McCabe just before 10 pm ET on Friday. Sessions said he fired McCabe because "Mr. McCabe had made an unauthorized disclosure to the news media and lacked candor — including under oath — on multiple occasions." In an interview, McCabe defended himself. “The idea that I was dishonest is just wrong,” he said. McCabe added: “This is part of an effort to discredit me as a witness.”(New York Times / Washington Post)

  2. McCabe met with special counsel Robert Mueller and turned over memos he wrote that detail his interactions with Trump. The memos apparently include corroborating details about the firing of former FBI director James Comey. In response, Trump fired off a series of tweets, railing against Mueller's investigation and calling McCabe's memo's fake. "Spent very little time with Andrew McCabe, but he never took notes when he was with me." Trump tweeted. "I don’t believe he made memos except to help his own agenda, probably at a later date. Same with lying James Comey. Can we call them Fake Memos?" (Axios / Washington Post)

  3. Trump's lawyer John Dowd, meanwhile, said on Saturday that he hopes Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein shuts down Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. "I pray that Acting Attorney General Rosenstein will follow the brilliant and courageous example of the FBI Office of Professional Responsibility and Attorney General Jeff Sessions and bring an end to alleged Russia Collusion investigation manufactured by McCabe’s boss James Comey based upon a fraudulent and corrupt Dossier,” Dowd wrote.

  6. Jared Kushner's family real estate company routinely filed false documents with the New York City housing department. Kushner Cos. claimed that it had zero rent-regulated tenants, even though there were actually hundreds of said tenants living in dozens of buildings it owned throughout the city. The move allowed the company to circumvent rules that would have prevented developers from pushing low-rent tenants out of the buildings. (Associated Press)

  7. Senior White House officials are considering re-hiring Trump's personal aide and body man John McEntee, just a few days after he was abruptly fired and escorted off the property last week.
