Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is being kept under close watch by doctors as he enters his second week in the hospital battling the coronavirus, making his case the most serious among senior Republicans in contact with President Donald Trump while he may have been carrying the virus. Most senior Republicans in Trump's circle either are convalescing at home or still waiting to find out if they have been infected. Christie told CNN that doctors prescribed the anti-viral treatment remdesivir, the same drug the President authorized for emergency use and then took personally while hospitalized. Meanwhile, others who were around Trump over the past two weeks are now scrambling to figure out if they will be the latest to get sick with the virus. At the same time, they're working -- with varying degrees of caution -- to propagate Trump's political message without spreading his illness along with it.

Historical revisionism, under Putin, knows no bounds. Yuri Dmitriev, a tenacious researcher and activist who campaigned to create a memorial to the victims of Stalinist terror in Karelia, a province in Russia’s far northwest, has just been condemned by a court in Karelia to thirteen years in a prison camp. For this man of sixty-four, this is practically a death sentence. Dmitriev’s father had revealed to him that his own father, Yuri’s grandfather, had been shot by Stalin’s secret police in 1938; and Yuri found his vocation as a researcher—in archives, but also in the cemetery-forests of Karelia. “I wanted to find out about the fate of those people,” Dmitriev told me.

Witches have been casting spells on the president since he was inaugurated. His COVID-19 diagnosis fell on a suspiciously auspicious date.

In January 2016, attorney Paul Letourneau arranged to meet his newest client one evening at Sea Dog Brewing Co., a local brewpub in southern Maine. She had a drug arrest, a shaky relationship and was struggling to hold onto her nursing license. Letourneau ordered a beer. They settled into a booth. Suddenly, his phone rang. His daughter was having car trouble, he told her. He asked the woman to wait for him. He’d be back in a second. As Letourneau walked out, Leah Kerwin watched him with unease. She was out on bail. She wasn’t supposed to be drinking alcohol. And here she was, meeting him alone in a mostly empty bar. After waiting 10 minutes, Kerwin decided to leave. Just as she reached her car in the parking lot, Letourneau pulled into the spot next to her, she said. He jumped out and strode over — standing so close that she could smell the beer on his breath. Come back inside for another drink, she remembered him asking. She knew it was the last time she wanted to be alone with her lawyer.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told a Kentucky event on Friday that a coronavirus stimulus deal is "unlikely in the next three weeks," per the Washington Post's Erica Werner. Our thought bubble: Two sources close to Senate leadership said President Trump is desperate, has zero leverage to push them to support a bill crafted by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and congressional Republicans aren’t inclined to wrap themselves any tighter to a sinking ship. What they're saying: "You’re never going to get a deal out of Pelosi that Republicans can support. So do you really want to divide your party within days of an election?" said a source close to Senate leadership about McConnell's calculations.

Federal prosecutors who ran a 2017 "pilot" program for migrant family separation determined that children younger than 12 should not be separated because most could not find their way back to their parents on their own, according to a copy of a Justice Department memo obtained by NBC News. The pilot program in El Paso, Texas, laid the groundwork for what became the Trump administration's "zero tolerance policy," which separated more than 3,000 children from their parents in 2018. But the memo, prepared for John Bash, the U.S. attorney for the Western District of Texas, was never sent to Justice Department officials in Washington, according to a draft report from the department's inspector general obtained by NBC News. And, the draft report says, Rod Rosenstein, then the deputy attorney general, told federal prosecutors on the southern border in a conference call that no child was so young that a parent should not be separated for prosecution under the zero-tolerance policy. Rosenstein declined to comment. The Jan. 7, 2018, memo from El Paso also indicates that neither the pilot program nor the zero-tolerance policy enacted across the southern border later that year was created with a plan to reunite families; instead, it expected that children would see their parents again when both were deported to their home countries.
