Highlights of the day for U.S. President Donald Trump's administration on Monday:
JARED KUSHNER
A Russian bank under Western economic sanctions over Russia's incursion into Ukraine discloses that its executives had met Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and a top White House adviser, during the 2016 election campaign.
Kushner, already a White House senior adviser, will take on the additional task of overseeing an effort to overhaul the federal government, the White House says.
RUSSIA
Representative Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House of Representatives' Intelligence Committee, says committee Chairman Devin Nunes should recuse himself from any further involvement in the panel's investigation of Russian involvement in the 2016 election.
Nunes says he did not meet with Trump or his aides when he viewed intelligence information on the White House grounds last week.
TAX CUTS
The White House will take a lead role in crafting legislation to overhaul the U.S. tax code, eyeing an August target date as Trump seeks his first legislative victory following the failure last week of a long-promised bill to undo Obamacare.
The Republican-controlled House will not seek to repeal Obamacare taxes as a part of expected tax reform legislation, the top House Republican on tax policy says.
SUPREME COURT NOMINEE
Democratic opposition to Trump's U.S. Supreme Court nominee grows while the White House demands a "fair up-or-down vote" in the Senate on confirming Neil Gorsuch to the lifetime post.
FINANCIAL MARKETS
Stocks, the dollar and U.S. long-dated Treasury yields steady after sharp drops, as investors hope Trump will be able to bolster the economy despite a defeat over healthcare reform.
IMMIGRATION
American cities that do not cooperate with federal immigration authorities may lose millions of dollars in grant money from the Justice Department, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions says.
CARL ICAHN
Several Democratic senators press billionaire investor Carl Icahn to clarify his role as an adviser to Trump on regulation, saying his position in the administration raises "alarming" questions about potential conflicts of interest with his stakes in the biofuels and pharmaceutical industries.
MAR-A-LAGO
A U.S. government watchdog has agreed to review how classified information is kept secure at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, the agency says, after Democratic lawmakers raised concerns about the issue last month.
