1. Congressional shooting

The FBI’s criminal probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election is increasingly touching on the multiple roles of senior White House adviser Jared Kushner. That doesn’t necessarily mean Trump’s son-in-law is suspected of wrongdoing, but the FBI is interested in roles and relationships that fell under his purview during the campaign and transition. That includes the campaign’s data analytics operation, which Kushner headed up, and his relationships with Russian figures and ex-national security adviser Michael Flynn

2. President Trump

3. London fire

The block on President Trump’s second executive order banning some travel from six Muslim-majority countries will stay in place, a federal appeals court ruled. The court used Trump’s own campaign language and statements to determine the ban’s “primary purpose is religious,” and thus unconstitutional. In response, the White House says it’s taking the case all the way to the top – to the Supreme Court

5. Fried potatoes study

The House-passed GOP health care bill would leave 23 million fewer Americans insured, says the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. That’s actually a slight improvement on the original Republican bill to replace Obamacare. The bill also would reduce deficits by $119 billion, and it would lower premiums for some people. At any rate, the CBO report on the bill could become another headache for its supporters – and another reason for the Senate to pretty much ignore the House bill and write its own

The aftermath of Monday’s attack in Manchester has become increasingly complex. Investigators now think the bomber probably had ISIS training in Syria before the attack. The revelation comes as intelligence sharing between the US and the UK resumed after a temporary halt following a series of high-profile leaks. Also new this morning: British intelligence services are handling 500 active investigations into terror plots involving 3,000 people, a government minister told the BBC. But he also said most of these people are the type to “boast a lot to each other but never actually do anything.”
