(Reuters) - Highlights of the day for U.S. President Donald Trump's administration on Wednesday:
WIRETAPPING
Two senior members of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee are asking the FBI and Justice Department for any information they have on Trump's claim that his predecessor, Barack Obama, ordered wiretaps of him during last year's presidential campaign.
