‘THE REAL STORY’

• President Donald Trump’s first tweet of the day didn’t directly mention the big news from the night before — the resignation of his national security adviser Michael Flynn — but alluded to it by saying “the real story” is “illegal leaks coming out of Washington.” That’s a reference to reports citing anonymous sources who said Flynn had private conversations about sanctions with Russia’s ambassador before the inauguration.

PARENT-TEACHER MEETING

• Trump’s first meeting was what the White House called a parent-teacher “listening session,” at which the president said: “We want every child to have an opportunity to climb the ladder of success” and “it all begins with education.” He also praised Betsy DeVos, saying the education secretary had been through a “very tough trial and a very unfair trial.”

Trump ignored shouted questions about the resignation of Flynn, according to a White House pool report.

White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Trump had asked Flynn to resign after he lost trust in him.

TELEPHONE CALL WITH THERESA MAY

• Trump’s telephone call with U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May was added to his schedule early Tuesday morning. The two discussed trade, security and Trump’s upcoming visit to the U.K., according to a spokesperson for May.

CHRISTIE LUNCH

• Trump’s GOP-primary rival Chris Christie came to the White House to discuss “combating drug use” with the president, Spicer told reporters. The New Jersey governor has made battling opioid abuse a priority.

SIGNING SEC BILL

• Trump signed a bill that will roll back a Securities and Exchange Commission rule for energy companies to disclose payments made to foreign governments for access to natural resources. “We are bringing back jobs big league,” he said. “A lot of people are going back to work now.”

At the signing ceremony Trump also turned to House Speaker Paul Ryan to ask about Republicans’ Obamacare repeal bill, asking if it would be coming soon. “Yes,” Ryan said.

SESSIONS AND KELLY MEETING

• The final item on Trump’s schedule was a meeting with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly. Spicer said they would discuss the next steps about implementing Trump’s travel ban, which has been halted in court.
