Confirming an earlier report by Breitbart, the Hill reports that the Republican National Committee has decided to reinstate its support of Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore after initially cutting ties over allegations of sexual misconduct, following Trump's official endorsement earlier on Monday of the Alabama Judge after weeks of silence. Breitbart first reported that the RNC had decided to step back into the race.
Special counsel Robert Mueller objected Monday to a tentative "agreed-upon bail package" reached with Paul Manafort last week, after the lobbyist was discovered to have ghost-written a draft of an op-ed with an associate in Russia allegedly tied to Russian intelligence, according to court filings.

As monthly refugee admissions into the United States lap the last few months of Obama's administration, the stark changes enacted by the Trump White House are more apparent than ever with admissions down a staggering 83% in the first two months of fiscal 2018 (October and November) compared to the first two months of fiscal 2017.
As CNS News points out, a total of only 3,108 refugees were admitted in October and November down from the 18,300 refugees who were admitted in October and November of last year.
