At least 94 professors at Harvard Law School signed a letter to students condemning the Trump administration's "severe" challenge to the rule of law and legal profession.

The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating after a plane crashed into a home in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota on Saturday — a day after another nearly missed colliding with a military aircraft near Reagan National Airport.

President Trump on Friday commuted the prison sentence of Carlos Watson, the founder of the now-defunct digital media startup Ozy Media, a spokesperson for Watson confirmed to Axios.
Why it matters: Watson was found guilty of conspiracy to commit securities fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and aggravated identity theft last year after a judge concluded that he had illegally deceived investors about his company's financials.
