  • The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is asking the White House to turn over all documents and intelligence information related to last year's prisoner exchange of five Taliban detainees for Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.
  • The deputy police chief of Fresno, California, has been arrested on multiple charges of drug distribution by the F.B.I. "It is important that we do everything we can to maintain and enhance the trust that our citizens have in us," Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer remarked afterwards.
