New book offers window into the Trump presidency from his chief congressional prosecutor
CNN
In the days before Rep. Adam Schiff became then-President Donald Trump's chief congressional nemesis, Trump praised the man who would go on to epitomize his toxic relationship with Democrats on Capitol Hill.
"You know, you do a good job," Trump told Schiff in the Oval Office in March 2017, according to new details from an upcoming book written by the House Intelligence chairman and obtained by CNN ahead of its release next week.
Schiff, who went on to lead House Democrats' investigation into Trump and Russia and Trump's first impeachment, had been invited to the White House to view alleged intelligence about spying on Trump's campaign. Several months later, he would learn exactly what Trump had meant from his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, according to the book.

Janet Mills and her allies are counting on a gender gap to narrow Platner’s wide lead ahead of the June 9 primary to decide who will face incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins. They are betting that the unfiltered style that has brought Platner widespread attention as someone who could help Democrats reach young men will backfire with women.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
