President Donald Trump’s son Eric said in an interview Tuesday that Democrats are “not even people” in a response to a question about their efforts to find evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

“I’ve never seen hatred like this,” Trump told Fox News’ Sean Hannity. “To me, they are not even people. It’s so, so sad. Morality is just gone.”

Trump’s son is also slamming a Forbes report that alleges he misled donors about where his cancer charity’s money went. A statement from the Eric Trump Foundation said the Trump Organization “at no time” profited from the foundation or any of its activities. The Forbes piece says donors to the Eric Trump Foundation were told their money was going to help sick children, but “more than $500,000 was re-donated to other charities, many of which were connected to Trump family members or interests.”

President preparing to punch back at Comey: President Trump is eager to be a “participant” rather than just another viewer when James Comey testifies before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday, and White House officials say it’s possible he’ll take to Twitter to offer commentary during the high-profile hearing.

The Washington Post reports that Trump’s aides and lawyers have been urging him to resist engaging, and they hope to keep him busy Thursday with other events. But Trump confidantes and associates say a frustrated and defiant Trump has been spoiling for a fight. “He’s not going to let some guy like [Comey] smear him without punching him as hard as he can,” said former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Trump fired Comey on May 9. The former director reportedly will not accuse the president of obstruction of justice but is also expected to say he never assured Trump that he was not under investigation.

Pressure on intelligence officials: One day before Comey testifies to their panel, senators on the Intelligence Committee are expected to press Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats and deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein about their private interactions with President Trump to learn more about whether he tried to tamper with the Justice Department’s Russia investigation. The hearing’s subject is reauthorizing a key section of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, but as CNN reports, senators plan to use the opportunity to grill Rosenstein to answer questions in public for the first time about Trump’s motivations for firing Comey and whether it was meant to quash the Russia probe.

Regulation slowing to crawl under Trump:Politico reports that significant federal regulation since President Trump’s inauguration has slowed to an almost total halt. From Inauguration Day until the end of May, just 15 regulations were approved by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, the White House department that reviews important new federal rules. That is by far the fewest among comparable periods since record-keeping began in the 1990s. During the same period in Barack Obama’s administration 93 rules were approved and during George W. Bush’s, 114.
