Diversion tactic?

After President Trump accused the media of not covering terrorism, the White House released a list of almost 80 attacks, claiming most weren’t properly reported. None of the attacks on the list would have been prevented by Mr. Trump’s travel ban. Major Garrett says the White House knew the events were covered, and that the accusation would lead news organizations to prove it, distracting attention from the legal battle over the travel ban.

Legal battle

Since President Trump signed his “extreme vetting” executive order banning travel to the U.S. by individuals from seven countries, the measure has faced a number of legal challenges. The order has not been in effect since Feb. 3, when a federal judge imposed a temporary restraining order, and it may well remain halted for weeks -- at least. We’re closely tracking the legal developments regarding the order.

Conflicts of interest

Nearly three weeks into his term, President Trump now claims he has distanced himself from his businesses. CBS News searched through documents to see what steps he has taken, and we hear from some ethics experts who say they don’t go far enough.
