New York sues Trump, his foundation, over 'self-dealing' https://t.co/NJyFFCp8S1
— Reuters Top News (@Reuters) June 14, 2018
Trump appears to have used his foundation as a campaign checkbook. Documents show his campaign manager asking Trump Foundation officials to grant money in Iowa to boost Trump’s prospects during the Republican primary. https://t.co/PxPxAnvf7t

The sleazy New York Democrats, and their now disgraced (and run out of town) A.G. Eric Schneiderman, are doing everything they can to sue me on a foundation that took in $18,800,000 and gave out to charity more money than it took in, $19,200,000. I won’t settle this case!…

I respect the DOJ IG office, which is why I urged them to do this review. The conclusions are reasonable, even though I disagree with some. People of good faith can see an unprecedented situation differently. I pray no Director faces it again. Thanks to IG’s people for hard work.

“Indeed, many former F.B.I. agents thought Mr. Comey should have remained silent and let the Justice Department announce that no charges would be brought in the case. His overconfidence was his undoing, agents have said in interviews.” https://t.co/OXFPNlObmO

UPDATE: Wray holds his first news conference as FBI director to respond to 'sobering' IG report. Implies he's not concerned about POTUS' opinion of FBI. Says report doesn't impugn whole agency, but IG did find a 'culture' of leaking to the media https://t.co/aAZVJcAwMC

No deep state. No secret society. No anti-Trump cabal at the FBI. No evidence that political bias influenced decisions in the Clinton probe. No indication that Comey’s errors of judgment did anything but help the Trump Campaign.
No vindication for the President.

These were my questions for Comey before his book tour. He didn't answer them.
A third question is why Comey abruptly dropped influential and dangerous mobster Semyon Mogilevich from the FBI's most wanted list in December 2015 https://t.co/FZff6BbxMF

On the border…
Since the Trump administration rolled out its “zero-tolerance” border protection policy, separation of parents from their children has become a more routine part of the process. Reporters pressed the White House's Sarah Sanders on this today.

Hard to see how new House compromise immigration bill will help GOP moderates with Latino voters to face. Has border-wall funds, cuts to legal immigration and tough citizenship path for Dreamers. Hard to see it will pass & critics will say moderates cavedhttps://t.co/wIW0zv54I8

Dear @TheJusticeDept Sessions: I look forward to you citing scripture in discussing how @realDonaldTrump, his family & the Trump Foundation violated NY state laws.
Also, nothing in scripture or current law requires separating children from parents. https://t.co/HFrKyM9tAc

BREXIT BRITAIN
Theresa May's Brexit compromise plan falls apart as pro-EU rebels brand it 'unacceptable'!
Dominic Grieve agreed a wording to a new amendment this morning, but claimed what was tabled later in the afternoon had been altered.
