The Senate Intel Committee has reportedly rejected National Security Advisor Mike Flynn's request for immunity from prosecution in exchange for an interview about Trump-Russia links, per NBC.
This does not rule out a grant of immunity later, however, as the committee's probe is ongoing: "The former national security advisor's lawyer was told the move was 'wildly preliminary' and 'not on the table' at this point, a senior congressional official told NBC."

The Trump administration plans to only admit a maximum of 15,000 refugees this fiscal year, the State Department said in a release late Wednesday evening.
Why it matters: This is yet another record low refugee cap. Before leaving office, President Obama set the refugee limit at 110,000 for fiscal year 2017 — a number Trump has continued to slash throughout his presidency.

Barstool Sports was founded in 2003 as a free gambling newspaper. It later became a sports blog before growing into a media empire, and now things have come full circle with the recent launch of its own branded sportsbook.
Driving the news: The Barstool Sportsbook app saw a record 21,000 downloads per day during its first weekend (Sept. 18–20), breaking DraftKings' and Fanduel's daily records despite Pennsylvania being the only state where it was operational.
