It’s a huge week for Brexit, but that won't necessarily mean more clarity on whether and how the U.K. will exit the EU.
Driving the news: There will be a vote on the Brexit deal Theresa May negotiated with the EU on Tuesday. The new deal will be almost identical to the one rejected back in January, which led May to the biggest Parliamentary defeat in more than a century.
President Trump late Saturday night appeared to "like" a tweet from Mother Jones linking to a story titled, "A Florida massage parlor owner has been selling Chinese execs access to Trump at Mar-a-Lago," according to an account that tracks Trump family Twitter activity.
The backdrop: The Mother Jones piece dives into the strange saga of Li Yang, a Trump donor from China who founded a chain of massage parlors in Florida — including the one at which New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has been accused of soliciting prostitution. Yang took a picture with Trump at a Super Bowl party at his West Palm Beach golf club last month, and reportedly runs an investment business that offers opportunities "to interact with the president, the [American] Minister of Commerce and other political figures."
Ahead of the launch of President Trump's Israeli-Palestinian peace plan, the White House has been engaging with Evangelical leaders to reassure them about the plan.
Why it matters: Evangelicals are a crucial part of Trump's political base and senior officials in his administration, like Vice President Pence and Secretary of State Pompeo, are Evangelicals. Most U.S. Evangelicals are strong supporters of Israel, and many Evangelical leaders are stanch allies of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.
