NEW YORK (AP) — British lawmakers are accusing Facebook of intentionally violating privacy and anti-competition laws in the U.K., and calling for greater oversight of social media companies in a scathing report issued Monday.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe said in an interview that aired Sunday that a "crime may have been committed" when President Donald Trump fired the head of the FBI and tried to publicly undermine an investigation into his campaign's ties to Russia. McCabe also said in the interview with "60 Minutes" that the FBI had good reason to investigate whether Trump was in league with Russia, and a possible national security threat, following the May 2017 firing of then-FBI Director James Comey.

TOKYO (AP) — Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and his chief spokesman have declined to say if Abe nominated President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
