1. President Trump

President Donald Trump dictated a misleading statement for his son in response to a news report that Donald Trump Jr. had met with a Russian lawyer during the campaign, the Washington Post reported. Team Trump's original plan was to issue a truthful statement, but then Trump personally decided to have the statement say Trump Jr. had met with the lawyer , Natalia Veselnitskaya, to discuss the adoption of Russian children by Americans.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders referred CNN to Trump's outside counsel for a response to the story . Attorney Jay Sekulow issued a statement, saying, "Apart from being of no consequence, the characterizations are misinformed, inaccurate and not pertinent."

So lawmakers are looking at possible fixes to the health care law, and this time it's a bipartisan effort . About 40 House Republicans and Democrats -- who go by the very catchy name of the Problem Solvers Caucus -- have endorsed an outline of ideas aimed at making urgent fixes to Obamacare. Their ideas include mandatory funding for cost-sharing reduction payments, creating a stability fund , repealing the medical device tax and tweaking the employer mandate. None of this has been put into any bills yet, but it's a start.
