The president fired FBI Director James Comey Tuesday. Steve Inskeep talks to NPR's Domenico Montanaro and GOP Rep. Blake Farenthold for look at what preceded the decision and how Congress is reacting.

President Trump has fired James Comey as the FBI director. We look at where this story started and what this means for the future of the FBI investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

Democrats focused on Russia and the White House's conduct when confronted with information that Michael Flynn lied to the vice president. Republicans wanted to know how it got out.

Senate panel told ex-national security adviser Michael Flynn was compromised by the Russians. South Koreans elect a president. Probe shows why some families aren't getting government-funded housing.

Ex-Obama officials say their former boss raised red flags about the man who became Trump's national security adviser in a November Oval Office meeting. Trump ignored them; Flynn resigned in February.

Already 129 people have filed to run for president in 2020. Among them: Donald Trump. Prominent people are considering it, but these elections receive outsize attention compared to office's power.

The House voted Thursday to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. But this bill will likely never become law, at least not in its current form, and the road ahead is bumpy and full of potholes.

They backed out before, but GOP leaders say lawmakers in the House will vote on Thursday to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act. They're confident they have enough votes to pass the bill.

After weeks of wrangling, the GOP will send a health care bill to a vote Thursday. Also, President Trump is expected to sign an executive order relaxing political restrictions on religious groups.

Ironically, President Trump seems irritated with the need to make deals. He is eager to make threats and change rules, but the American system was set up to curb a president's power.

Since Republicans need Democrats to vote for the measure, they had to compromise. While the spending bill is expected to pass, Republicans don't have the votes yet to pass a new health care bill.

FBI Director James Comey goes before the Senate Judiciary Committee. Also, both parties declare victory over a spending bill. And a new report says hospitals in war zones are increasingly targeted.

From Egypt to the Philippines, the president's praise of despotic and brutal leaders is raising eyebrows. He also has potential business conflicts in or related to all of the countries.

GOP pressured to pass bill to repeal and replace Obamacare. Trump to talk to Putin by phone. South Korea's first female president is on trial for corruption, a week before an election to replace her.

The president went on a tweetstorm Thursday blaming Democrats for a possible shutdown, even though one's unlikely. Why? Democrats happened to be plastered on cable news talking about Michael Flynn.

Now that President Trump has dropped demands on border wall funding and health care, negotiators on Capitol Hill look back on track to fund the government until they work out other sticking points.

President Trump has reversed course and says he won't withdraw from NAFTA. Also, a view into North Korea from the Chinese border and a proposed software to curb texting while driving.

The White House is issuing tax-plan guidelines today. It's not likely to get taken up soon, but Trump's Treasury secretary is pledging to move quickly — and to achieve 3 percent growth.

President Trump will announce his tax plan Wednesday. Also, Holly Bailey of Yahoo News talks about a briefing Senators will receive on North Korea, and another killing was broadcast on Facebook Live.

With limited accomplishments chalked up, as he approaches 100 days in office, the president still seems to be stuck on one thing: how many people are tuning in.
