WASHINGTON (AP) — Attorney General William Barr says a version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report with fewer redactions will be made available to a small group of lawmakers. In a letter to Congress on Thursday, Barr says the second version of the report would be given to the “Gang of Eight,” the top-ranking House and Senate lawmakers from both parties who can view sensitive classified information.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Even before the world got a glimpse at the redacted version of the special counsel’s report, President Donald Trump was trying once more to frame the moment as a political victory. The report does include an account of how the president attempted to seize control of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election and force out Robert Mueller. But Trump’s taking a public victory lap, saying he’s having “a good day.”

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) – The state House is passing a bill allowing the PA Fish and Boat Commission to set its own license fees.
