James Comey's firing is raising questions about what will happen with the FBI's Russian investigation, while the Senate Intelligence Committee is signaling its probe is moving full steam ahead. Here's what we know:
Senators investigating Russian campaign meddling have asked the Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) for information about Trump and his associates, per CNN.
Why it matters: FinCEN has been investigating the connection between money-laundering and purchases of U.S. real estate. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Intel Committee, said the probe is trying "to follow the intel no matter where it leads."
Warner's leverage: Warner said he would not support Trump's nominee to oversee terrorism and finance at the Treasury Department, Sigal Mandelker, until the materials are provided.
What to expect: Trump's real estate empire, as well as his associates' real estate deals, are likely to come under tighter scrutiny.
President Trump's firing of FBI Director James Comey renewed recommendations that the ongoing investigation of possible collusion between Trump campaign associates and Russian operatives will require the appointment of an independent special counsel.
Paleontologists have finally named the famous 'Baby Louie' dinosaur fossil, and they report today it is a new bird-like species. Beibeilong sinensis, for "baby dragon from China," may have been common on Earth about 90 million years ago, the researchers say.
Why it matters: The fossil of the embryo was found in an egg in China's Henan province more than 20 years ago, but until now, scientists didn't know what dinosaur was within the egg. Some speculated they were from a Tyrannosaurus rex because of their size, roughly 17.5 inches long and 11 pounds, and other fossils found in the area. Others thought it could be Gigantoraptor. When they examined the fossil, they found it came from a close relative of Gigantoraptor.
