The Washington Post
SPECIAL REPORT

A jaw-dropping investigation that reads like a spy movie:
For the first time, we know the CIA secretly owned a Swiss company that sold encryption technology to governments around the world. U.S. adversaries and allies essentially paid American spies to read their internal messages — for decades. Investigative reporter Greg Miller explains why this story is such a big deal:

"I've been covering U.S. intelligence agencies for nearly two decades
and I've never seen a story quite like this. Something that spans decades,
covers nearly the entire globe, involves the deception of allies and hundreds
of employees. And all of it laid bare in classified files obtained by The Post."

Federal prosecutors resign after rare move by the Department of Justice:
Today, the Department of Justice made a surprising reversal in the Roger Stone case, signaling it was backing off from a recommendation by prosecutors that President Trump's confidant receive a seven-to-nine-year sentence for lying to Congress and witness tampering.

The DOJ announcement came after President Trump called the proposed sentence "unfair." All four prosecutors have asked to withdraw from the case. Read this story and learn why it's unique.

On top of all that, today is the first primary in the 2020 presidential race:
New Hampshire has a semi-open primary, which means voters don't have to be registered as Democrats to participate. Polls start to close around 7 p.m. Eastern. Join us for live video coverage of the results. Here's where things stand right now.
