Flynn did not disclose income from Russia-linked firms, Trump critiques NBC and cites Fox for surveillance allegation coverage, and more 1. [Flynn did not disclose income from Russia-linked firms]( Ousted National Security Adviser Michael Flynn did not reveal income he received from three Russia-linked firms in a personal financial disclosure he made before being pressured to resign from his post, documents released by the White House on Saturday reveal. He listed speeches for the companies as "sources of compensation exceeding $5,000 in a year" in a financial disclosure form signed on March 31, but he did not mention them in a similar form he signed in February, when he was still White House staff. A source familiar with the process told The Washington Post the February form may have been a draft that was not corrected because the process was suspended by Flynn's resignation.

[Trump critiques NBC and cites Fox for surveillance allegation coverage]( President Trump attacked NBC News and touted a Fox News report in tweets about his surveillance allegations on Saturday. "When will Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd and @NBCNews start talking about the Obama SURVEILLANCE SCANDAL and stop with the Fake Trump/Russia story," he complained in an initial post. Later, Trump favorably referenced [a Fox report]( citing an unnamed congressional source. "Source: 'Official behind unmasking is high up. Known Intel official is responsible. Some unmasked not associated with Russia. Trump team spied on before he was nominated,'" Trump summarized. Unmasking means revealing the names of U.S. citizens whose communications were swept up in mass surveillance.

[Venezuelan top court reverses ruling to strip congressional power]( The Venezuelan supreme court on Saturday reversed its decision to strip the country's legislature of power after widespread foreign and domestic protest. The court's review came at the request of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who couched his critique of the original ruling in terms of "maintain[ing] institutional stability and the balance of powers." Maduro's move was labeled disingenuous by the opposition party, which controls the legislature, as the supreme court is pro-Maduro and the first ruling would have further consolidated his power. Venezuela continues to suffer a serious economic crisis under Maduro's socialist regime; food shortages [are rampant]( and inflation [is high](theweek.com/speedreads/664625/venezuelas-money-worthless-shopkeepers-weigh-piles-instead-counting-bills).

He was reportedly killed by an Iraqi army strike on a town called al-Qaim, an attack that also killed two other high-ranking ISIS leaders: Turki Jamal al-Delaimi, who led a local ISIS base, and Salim Muthdafar al-Ajami, an administrator.

[Federal judge rules lawsuit alleging Trump incited violence can proceed]( A federal judge in Louisville, Kentucky, ruled Friday that President Trump cannot use a free speech defense to quash a lawsuit accusing him of inciting violence at a campaign rally last year, the Louisville Courier-Journal reported Saturday. Trump was speaking in Louisville in March of 2016 when he pointed to protesters and repeatedly told his supporters, "get 'em out of here." Judge David J. Hale ruled the injuries three protesters suffered while being removed by event attendees are a "direct and proximate result" of Trump's comments, which can be plausibly interpreted as "an order, an instruction, a command" for use of force. The lawsuit will proceed. Source: [The Washington Post]( [Louisville Courier-Journal]( 7.
