NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump is tearing into civil rights legend John Lewis for questioning the legitimacy of his White House victory. On Twitter today, Trump said the Georgia congressman should spend more time on fixing what he called his "crime-infested" district instead of "falsely complaining about the election results." Lewis told NBC's "Meet the Press" that he won't attend Trump's inauguration because he doesn't view Trump as "a legitimate president."

CLEVELAND (AP) — The mother of Tamir Rice says she's disappointed a Cleveland police officer who fired the shot that killed her son won't face internal charges for use of force. Samaria Rice says the officer and another who responded the day her son was killed should be fired. The 12-year-old was playing with a pellet gun outside a recreation center in 2014 when he was shot. The patrolman who shot the boy is accused of lying on his Cleveland police application, but no internal charges have been brought against him in the shooting.
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Polish leaders are holding a ceremony to welcome U.S. troops to their country a deployment that Russia calls a threat to its own security. Today's ceremony in a western Polish town comes 23 years after the last Soviet troops left Poland. It also marks a new historic moment — the first time any Western forces are being deployed on a continuous basis to NATO's eastern flank. Several other events across the country have been organized to welcome the Americans from Fort Carson, Colorado.
