Mueller report: No Russia conspiracy; no answer on obstruction |
| Special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation did not find evidence that President Donald Trump or members of his campaign conspired with Russia's efforts to sway the 2016 election, delivering a boost to the president in a case that has shadowed his administration. But the special counsel's report leaves "unresolved whether the president's actions and intent could be viewed as obstruction," Attorney General William Barr said in a letter to Congress delivered Sunday. "While this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him" on whether he obstructed justice, Mueller said in the report, according to Barr's four-page summary. |

Second Parkland survivor dies by apparent suicide |
| A student at the Florida high school where a gunman's rampage killed 17 people last year has been found dead of an apparent suicide, police said Sunday – the second student from the school to take their own life in a week. The student, whose name was not released, attended Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland. On March 17, school alum Sydney Aiello, 19, died of apparent suicide. Aiello was friends with Meadow Pollack, one of those who died in the massacre on Feb. 14, 2018. Her mother said Aiello struggled with survivor's guilt and was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, and was having difficulty in college because she was afraid of sitting in classrooms. |
FEMA data 'breach' exposed personal data of 2.3 million victims of hurricanes and wildfires |
| FEMA improperly shared the personal data of some 2.3 million victims from four major 2017 disasters, according to a government watchdog report publicly released on Friday. The data breach occurred because proper safeguards were not taken for disaster victims who participated in FEMA's program to provide transitional shelter to survivors, according to the report. Information compromised included full names, birth dates, partial social security numbers, addresses and financial information, including applicants' bank transfer details. The data was provided to a private contractor managing the transitional shelter program. |
March Madness: The battle to Sweet 16 continues |
| The NCAA tournament has gotten off to a fast start, and now teams are shaping up for the Sweet 16. No. 2 seed Tennessee blew a 25-point lead but held off No. 10 Iowa in overtime Sunday in the round of 32 at the NCAA tournament. There were plenty of story lines from Saturday's action, including Ja Morant and Murray State getting knocked out by Florida State. Morant, who scored 28 points and showed his usual flashes of brilliance, was noncommital about his NBA future after the loss. Also, Maryland coach Mark Turgeon got choked up after his team's last-second loss to LSU. The rest of the Sweet 16 field will be decided Sunday. |

Streisand apologizes for remarks on Michael Jackson's accusers |
| Barbra Streisand has walked back her controversial comments about Michael Jackson's sexual abuse accusers, saying she feels "deep remorse" for dismissing the trauma they experienced as children. When asked about the abusive behavior alleged in the recent HBO documentary "Leaving Neverland," Streisand said, "His sexual needs were his sexual needs." She added, "You can say 'molested,' but those children, as you heard say, they were thrilled to be there." Earlier Saturday, the singer tried to explain her remarks. "To be crystal clear, there is no situation or circumstance where it is OK for the innocence of children to be taken advantage of by anyone," Streisand said. |
