Report: Trump ends Obama’s ‘war’ on religious liberty, helping millions

One year after President Trump ordered a halt on former President Obama’s “war” on religious liberty, several Cabinet agencies have made significant changes opening the door for religious groups provide health, social service and educational benefits to nearly 14 million.

Under Obama-era rules many of the help groups were sidelined because their religious views clashed with liberal policies such as abortion, but Trump’s May 4 executive order to carve out a loophole for them has greatly expanded the benefits they provide.

According to a new report from the Family Research Council, Trump’s promotion of “religious liberty” has enabled charities and other groups to provide health care and social services to some 13.7 million people.

Flood in, Cobb out as Trump legal team faces possible subpoena fight

President Donald Trump shuffled his legal team Wednesday, bringing in an attorney who defended President Bill Clinton against impeachment as media reports revealed special counsel Robert Mueller has raised the prospect of subpoenaing Trump to his lawyers.

According to The Washington Post, hiring attorney Emmet Flood as current White House attorney Ty Cobb prepares to retire signals a more aggressive approach to fighting Mueller’s probe of possible ties between Trump’s campaign and Russian efforts to influence the election. One person familiar with the legal team described Flood to the Post as “a quintessential wartime consigliere.”
