1. President Trump

A federal judge ruled that an accounting firm must turn over Donald Trump's financial records (from before he was President) to the House oversight committee. US Judge Amit Mehta said Congress is well within its right to investigate the President. Trump's legal team plans to appeal, and the President blasted the ruling, calling it "crazy." Trump and his Cabinet are fighting off a number of House subpoenas, as Democrats try to get their hands on the President's tax records. Mehta's ruling will likely be more fodder for other judges to consider

Meanwhile, ex-White House counsel Don McGahn won't appear today before the House Judiciary Committee because the White House says former senior advisers are exempt from having to appear before Congress. US Rep. Jerry Nadler, the committee's chairman, promised McGahn would pay a heavy price for defying the panel's subpoena and threatened to hold him in contempt.

2. Yemen

The UN threatened to suspend aid to hungry people in Yemen if thefts or "diversion" of food by Houthi rebels continues. A CNN investigation exposed the thefts. David Beasley, head of the UN's World Food Programme, said as much as $15 million worth of food a month was not making it to the desperate people for whom it was intended and was instead going to rebel fighters or backers. Children are dying as a result, Beasley said. The UN's goal was to feed 12 million people, about half of Yemen's population. But CNN's investigation featured entire villages where no supplies had made it for weeks because of theft by the Houthi rebels who control much of the country. A deputy foreign minister for the rebels rejected claims aid was being diverted.

Oklahoma will feel the brunt of today's bad weather. The National Weather Service issued a flash flood emergency for Tulsa, which has already gotten 5 inches of rain and could get 3 more.

5. Drones and China

Love to fly drones? Well, you could be inadvertently sending data to the Chinese government . Wait, what? Homeland Security issued a warning about this, saying Chinese-made drones could be sending sensitive flight data to their manufacturers in China. It's believed that almost 80% of drones used in the US and Canada are made by DJI, a company in Shenzhen, China. Drone users are encouraged to switch off the device's internet connection and remove secure digital cards if the products were manufactured in China. The US Army banned drones made by DJI two years ago over fears the company was sharing info with the Chinese government.
