The Mueller report is finally out and it claims President Trump made repeated efforts to obstruct the investigation into Russia meddling in the 2016 election, but he was unsuccessful because many of his staff refused to follow through with his orders. One example is that Trump called White House Counsel Don McGhan and demanded he fire Robert Mueller, but McGhan wouldn't do it, offering his resignation instead. 
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders is defending herself after the Mueller report confirmed she made misstatements to the media. After former FBI James Comey was fired by President Trump, Sanders said that countless FBI agents had lost confidence in Comey. In interviews with the Special Counsel team, she admitted she had no basis for saying that, claiming it was a slip of the tongue said in the heat of the moment. On Thursday, she appeared on Fox News' Hannity and said her statement was not false. There are more details about the man arrested after carrying gasoline and lighter fluid inside New York's St. Patrick's Cathedral. Marc Lamparello of New Jersey had recently purchased a one-way ticket to Italy hours before he was arrested. He was charged on Thursday with attempted arson, reckless endangerment and trespassing. The 28-hundred dollar ticket to Rome was set to depart on Thursday afternoon. More than two million dollars in donations have been raised to help rebuild three black churches in Louisiana. Donations came in from every state and more than 40 countries. The churches were the victims of arson. The adult son of a deputy sheriff has been accused of being behind the fires. A new study is claiming that picking out a man who will cheat on his wife is easy, but trying to identify a woman who will cheat is not. University of Western Australia researchers asked men and women to try to pick out who was a definite cheater out of a couple hundred photos. With the men, they were spot on. But both genders had trouble correctly identifying which women said they cheated and which did not. The study was published this week in the Royal Society Open Science. Kate Smith's version of "God Bless America" is out at New York Yankees games this year. The team has been playing her 1939 version of the Irving Berlin classic since the 9/11 attacks in 2001. It went to a different version this year after the team became aware that Smith also sang some racist songs, including "Pickaninny Heaven."
