NY Times -  President Trump plans to open 1.3 billion acres of U.S. waters to drilling. It is one of his most significant steps yet to increase the production of fossil fuels, as dozens of countries have been calling for a phaseout of oil, gas and coal 

The Hill - The Justice Department reversed course late Thursday, alleging the full grand jury did review the indictment of former FBI Director James Comey.  The change comes 24 hours after lead prosecutor Lindsey Halligan told a judge that all jurors were not privy to the final revised document displaying his charges.
