NEW: The FBI has been examining a violent domestic dispute from nine years ago between acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan and his then-wife as part of a background investigation ahead of his possible confirmation hearing.
usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
The competing accounts of the violent fight between Shanahan and his then-wife are outlined in hundreds of pages of court files and police records, as well as interviews. They did not surface when Trump selected Shanahan as the Pentagon's No. 2, or as acting defense chief.
Update: Shanahan said will resign as acting defense chief and withdraw his name from consideration to be Trump's defense secretary, adding new uncertainty into the top echelon of the national security apparatus.

The Justice Department wants a judge to prohibit Rep. @Rep_Hunter from "offering evidence or argument concerning alleged political biases or motives of the prosecution team" or making other comments that could "poison the pool of potential jurors."
Rep. Hunter, a Republican, says his prosecution by the Justice Department, currently run by Republican appointees of President Trump, is the "deep state" and was trying to "rig the election their own way."
President Trump, a Republican, previously criticized his attorney general, also a Republican, for allowing the prosecution of two Republican congressmen.

Big day for secrecy ->
The government has been fighting for eight years to keep this particular bit of information - where SNAP benefits are redeemed - secret. Today it succeeded.
Justice Breyer, dissenting, says today's decision will lead to much more secrecy. "I fear the majority’s reading will deprive the public of information for reasons no better than convenience, skittishness, or bureaucratic inertia."

#SCOTUS rules that a federal law prohibiting the registration of "immoral or scandalous" trademarks violates the First Amendment. supremecourt.gov/opinions/18pdf…
Justice Alito, concurring, says viewpoint discrimination "has become
increasingly prevalent in this country. At a time when free speech is under attack, it is especially important for this Court to remain firm on the principle that the First Amendment does not tolerate it."
Justice Sotomayor says, starting now, "the Government will have no statutory basis to refuse (and thus no choice but to begin) registering marks containing the most vulgar, profane, or obscene words and images imaginable."
