VATICAN CITY (AP) — "Do not bury hope!" Pope Francis says while leading an Easter vigil at St. Peter's Basilica. The pontiff encourages people to resist cynicism and avoid seeking life's meaning in "things that pass away." Encouraging the faithful, Francis says: "Why not prefer Jesus, the true light, to the glitter of wealth, career, pride and pleasure?" At the start of the ceremony on Easter's eve, Francis, dressed in white robes, slowly carried a lit candle up the aisle of the darkened basilica.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Mueller report has sparked a barbed back-and-forth on Twitter between President Donald Trump and a fellow Republican, Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah. Romney tweeted on Friday that he was "sickened" by the dishonesty the special counsel's report found in the Trump White House. Trump responded Saturday by pointing to Romney's presidential defeat in 2012, saying Romney might have won had he used the same energy against Democrat Barack Obama as he does in criticizing Trump.
