American intelligence agencies sharply disagree, and their darker view of Russia’s actions was clear on Tuesday. Mr. Coats was joined at the hearing by the leaders of the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, the F.B.I. and other intelligence agencies. Russian hackers are already scanning American electoral systems, intelligence officials have said, and using bot armies to promote partisan causes on social media.

When it passed the law that raised Ontario’s minimum wage, the government of Premier Kathleen Wynne also talked about introducing “equal pay for equal work” for part-time, temporary and casual employees. Those workers who are doing “substantially the same work” as full-time, permanent employees, would be guaranteed the same rate of pay, the government said. Story continues below But one change established by the so-called Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act, which came into effect Jan. 1, is resulting in significant pay…

White House Let Rob Porter Keep Job Even After Receiving Final F.B.I. Report

Mr. Trump’s aides initially said they had no inkling of the accusations against Mr. Porter until press reports that first appeared in The Daily Mail last week, and acted swiftly to terminate him when they discovered them. In fact, the White House spent the first hours after learning of the accusations — including the publication of photographs of one of his ex-wives with a black eye she said he gave her — defending Mr. Porter against the allegations and…

Accusations Against Aide Renew Attention on White House Security Clearances

Mr. Kushner has also been interviewed by Robert S. Mueller III, the special counsel, though it is not known whether any potential actions relevant to the Russia inquiry are part of the delay in finishing Mr. Kushner’s background check. Abbe D. Lowell, Mr. Kushner’s lawyer, said in a statement that “it is not uncommon for this process to take this long in a new administration (some taking as long as two years)” and that there are “a dozen or…

Republicans Have Forgotten They Hate Deficits

Congressional Republicans appear unlikely to even attempt to pass a budget resolution that could allow them to push cuts of that sort through the Senate without any Democratic votes, having reserved that move last year not for spending cuts, but for tax cuts that the Joint Committee on Taxation estimates will add more than $1 trillion to the national debt, even after accounting for increased economic growth.

Corker Reconsiders Retirement, but He Must Win Over Trump to Do It

And without Mr. Trump’s direct intervention, Ms. Blackburn is highly unlikely to bow to Mr. Corker. “Marsha Blackburn is not getting out of this race regardless of who gets in,” said Ward Baker, the Nashville-area lawmaker’s chief strategist. Further, Senator Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the majority leader, has rebuffed Mr. Corker by telling him that he must secure the president’s support to re-enter the race, according to Republicans familiar with the conversation, a rare act of political deference that…

Senate Immigration Debate Gets Off to a Slow, Unhappy Start

But in the Capitol, Mr. McConnell and his Democratic counterpart, Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, were unable to come to terms on an agreement that would get the debate underway in earnest. Mr. McConnell sought to open with a vote on legislation to punish so-called sanctuary cities, which refuse to cooperate with federal immigration officials. But Mr. Schumer objected, on the grounds that such a measure is unrelated to DACA. Without the Democratic leader’s consent, debate cannot begin…
