PHILADELPHIA (AP) — It isn't as large as the massive protest the day after President Donald Trump's inauguration, but women across the country are taking part in the Day Without a Woman protest. There was a march in the nation's capital. Two suburban school districts and elsewhere closed because of staffing shortages. The events come on the same day as the U.N.-designated International Women's Day. In Warsaw, thousands of women demanded that Poland's conservative government grant full birth control rights, respect and higher pay.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The leaders of a congressional inquiry into Russia's efforts to sway the U.S. election have called on the Justice Department to produce any evidence that supports President Donald Trump's explosive wiretapping allegation. Trump tweeted that former President Barack Obama had tapped his phones at Trump Tower during the campaign. Sen. Lindsey Graham says Congress "must get to the bottom" of the claim. He's called for the FBI and the deputy attorney general to produce any evidence for a warrant needed for wiretaps.
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's former national security adviser has registered as a foreign agent with the Justice Department for $530,000 worth of lobbying work that may have aided the Turkish government.

A Flynn lawyer says his client voluntarily registered for lobbying that "could be construed to have principally benefited the Republic of Turkey."
