WASHINGTON (AP) — The top two lawmakers on the House intelligence committee say documents the Justice Department and FBI delivered late last week offer no evidence that the Obama administration wiretapped Trump Tower.

"Kong: Skull Island," slid to second place with $28.9 million. The "X-Men" spinoff "Logan" was No. 3 with $17.5 million in its third week.
