Trump is trying to loosen restrictions that attempt to protect civilians from military drone strikes and raids. In Yemen, Trump has already declared three provinces “areas of active hostilities," allowing less stringent battlefield rules. With a similar order potentially on the way for parts of Somalia, Trump is reportedly using these areas as a test to see whether he can take away Obama-era regulations that limited drone strikes and other counterterrorism initiatives in order to protect civilians' lives. Loosening these regulations would make it easier to target suspected militants, but could also mean more civilians killed. Get the full story at the New York Times.

Kellyanne Conway said President Obama might have used microwaves to spy on Trump. In an interview at her New Jersey home, Kellyanne Conway addressed Trump's wiretapping allegations against Obama, saying there are many ways to spy on people in modern life. One of those ways, Conway suggested, may have been microwaves that turn into cameras, adding that we know things like that are a "fact of modern life.” Kellyanne mentioned these potential spying microwaves just as the House Intelligence Committee requested the White House turn over any evidence they have that Obama may have wiretapped Trump, expanding the breadth of the spying allegations beyond phone lines.

Trump hasn't provided proof he's donating his salary.

Trump said the Secret Service was able to stop a "troubled" person who attempted to scale a White House fence. The Secret Service arrested Jonathan Tran, 26, of California on Friday after he allegedly tried to climb a fence into White House grounds. He reportedly told officials when he was arrested, "No, I am a friend of the president. I have an appointment." Trump congratulated the Secret Service for a job well done, adding that the man arrested was a "troubled person." Find out more at Time.

There are still a lot of empty federal jobs in the Trump administration. Nearly two months after he was sworn in as President, Trump still hasn't completed all his hiring. There are reportedly 500 jobs still left to fill, some of them leadership roles and others "second- and third-tier positions that carry out most of the government’s crucial daily functions," according to the New York Times. With so many jobs left to fill so late in the game, R. Nicholas Burns, a former State Department official, called Trump's the "slowest transition in decades," noting it's a "big mistake" to ask so many federal agencies, including the State, Treasury, and Homeland Security Departments, to govern without key roles.
