All Hat No Cattle: Today is #NationalHugANewsPersonDay. I chose...

CNNI's Arwa Damon who was recently in the Antarctica on an assignment after years of riveting coverage of the war zones in the Middle East and beyond. I bet she needed that change of climate.

You go girl.

I also chose Will Ripley at CNNI for his outstanding reporting on North Korea. A gentleman journalist.

Thank you.

Trump isn't a criminal target in the Mueller investigation — yet
..."In private negotiations in early March about a possible presidential interview, Mueller described Trump as a subject of his investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 election. Prosecutors view someone as a subject when that person has engaged in conduct that is under investigation but there is not sufficient evidence to bring charges.
"The special counsel also told Trump's lawyers that he is preparing a report about the president's actions while in office and potential obstruction of justice, according to two people with knowledge of the conversations.

*Me praying on knees* Please hurry Mr. Mueller!

The World Is A Safer Place Without ~~Saddam~~ Trump

Vladimir Putin could soon be coming to America. During their phone call last month — the one where Trump wasn't supposed to congratulate Putin — not only did Trump congratulate him, he invited his KG-BFF to a summit at the White House. It’s about time he invited the boss over for dinner.
So, this will be a nice opportunity for Putin to stop by and install a few new Nest cameras in the White House. - Jimmy Kimmel

According to the Financial Times, the Russian businessman who secretly met with a Trump campaign official in January 2017 has been tied directly to Vladimir Putin. Hey, Robert Mueller, how much more evidence do you need? I'm starting to feel like a little kid screaming at “Dora the Explorer” that the windmill she's looking for is right behind her. "Turn around!"- Seth Myers

Trump Escalates Trade War
The Trump administration has raised the stakes in a growing trade showdown with China by placing 25% tariffs on some 1,300 industrial technology, transport and medical products to try to force changes in Beijing’s intellectual property practices.

The president officially declared the month of April to be National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. At this point he's just messing with us, right? He might as well declare it National Bankrupt Casino Awareness Month.- Jimmy Kimmel
