Two White House officials assisted in getting intelligence reports to Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) last week that showed members of President Trump's team were incidentally caught up in foreign surveillance, The New York Times reports.

Nunes, the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, discussed the reports with Trump before consulting with his fellow members of the committee. Later, Nunes said the night before he spoke with Trump, he received a phone call from a whistle-blower who met him on the White House grounds. U.S. officials have said the reports mostly were just about ambassadors and other foreign officials discussing their attempts to develop contacts in the Trump family and with his friends before the inauguration. Nunes has repeatedly said he will not reveal who gave him the information, and the Times is reporting it came from Ezra Cohen-Watnick, senior director for intelligence at the National Security Council, and Michael Ellis, a lawyer working on national security issues at the White House Counsel's Office.

The House Intelligence Committee is conducting what is supposed to be an independent investigation into meddling by Russia into the 2016 presidential election. Catherine Garcia

Police in Weld County, Colorado, northeast of Denver, on Thursday found the bodies of Shannan Watts and her two daughters, Bella, 4, and Celeste, 3. Watts was pregnant with her third child.

The family members are believed to have been killed by their husband and father, Chris Watts, who has been arrested but not yet formally charged. He reportedly confessed to the crime after his arrest and is expected to face murder charges by Monday.

The bodies were found on the property of a petroleum and natural gas exploration company where Chris used to work. Court documents filed Friday suggest strangulation may be the cause of death. Bonnie Kristian

The weapon used in the Saudi-led coalition airstrike on a school bus in Yemen earlier this month that killed 51 people, 40 of them children, and wounded over 100 more was manufactured in the United States, CNN reported Friday night.

The bomb in question was reportedly a 500-pound laser-guided MK 82 bomb produced by Lockheed Martin, an American defense contractor. It was identified from numbers on the shrapnel.

The Saudi coalition, which has been credibly accused of war crimes in Yemen, is supported and enabled by the United States. The coalition promised to investigate itself for this attack.

A coalition representative declined to comment on the airstrike while the self-investigation is underway, and a Pentagon representative would not confirm the bomb's origin, instead providing CNN a generic condemnation of civilian casualties. Bonnie Kristian

Former United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan died Saturday after a brief illness, his family reported via his personal foundation. He was 80 years old.

Born in Ghana in 1938, Annan began work at the U.N. in 1962, rising through the ranks to serve as secretary general from 1997 to 2006. He shared the Nobel Peace Prize with the U.N. in 2001.

Current U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres said Annan "provided people everywhere with a space for dialogue, a place for problem-solving, and a path to a better world." Annan is survived by his wife and three children. Bonnie Kristian

Special Counsel Robert Mueller is seeking a short prison sentence of up to six months for former Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos, who allegedly delayed federal investigators by lying to them.

"[Papadopoulos'] lies undermined investigators' ability to challenge the Professor or potentially detain or arrest him while he was still in the United States," Mueller's team said in court filings Friday. "The defendant's false statements were intended to harm the investigation, and did so."

The "Professor" in question is Joseph Mifsud, who reportedly has ties to the Russian government and contacted Papadopoulos offering "dirt" on Hillary Clinton during the campaign. Papadopoulos pleaded guilty to lying about Mifsud to the FBI in October.

Papadopoulos and his attorney could not be reached by Wall Street Journal requests to comment on the possible jail time, but Simona Mangiante Papadopoulos, George's wife, has been publicly asking President Trump to pardon him. Bonnie Kristian

President Trump on Saturday alleged on Twitter, to his 53.8 million followers, whom he reaches for free via the network's platform, that social media is censoring the right:

In follow-up tweets, the president spun a confusing and contradictory approach to censorship, apparently speaking in response to conspiracy-monger (and Trump fan) Alex Jones' internet woes:

So, to summarize: Social media is censoring Republicans, and our Republican president is letting us know via social media. Censorship cannot be policed, but the Trump administration won't let it happen! Trump himself deplores censorship and thinks everyone should speak in the public square, but he definitely would prefer to censor CNN and MSNBC, who are "Fake News" and would ideally be weeded out. Got it? Bonnie Kristian

In an attempt to deliver a zinger on Twitter, Republican Senate nominee Corey Stewart may have only succeeded in zinging himself.

The Virginia candidate often tweets inventive hashtags about his political rivals, sometimes with disastrous results. On Friday, Stewart shared a picture of "AntifaTimKaine," depicting Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine (D) shaking hands with Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin.

Ignoring the fact that the U.S. and Soviet Union were allies at the time that photo of Stalin was taken, Stewart joked that Kaine and Stalin were "discussing economic policy" back in 1944, making it out to be scathing commentary on Kaine's policies. Stewart is looking to unseat Kaine, but Kaine's communications director didn't seem too worried about the latest doctored images, pointing to Stewart's support of a white supremacist candidate and providing some edited photos of his own.

Stewart's inflammatory rhetoric isn't coming to an end any time soon, he said, promising more surely-hilarious photos of his opponent "playing golf with Karl Marx!" Summer Meza

Nothing ever ends — which is why HBO is bringing Watchmen back to the screen.

The network is set to get started on its first-ever superhero series with Watchmen. Spearheaded by Damon Lindelof, who is most recently known for his work on The Leftovers, the classic graphic novel will experience a new twist when it comes to the small screen. A pilot for the show was ordered back in 2017, and the series is now headed for a 2019 premiere, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

Lindelof has referred to his adaptation as a "remix," with HBO adding that it will be set in an "alternate history where 'superheroes' are treated as outlaws." But even with changes in the works, many of the major characters from the graphic novel will feature in the show. The network has chosen a star-studded cast to step into the iconic superhero shoes, too, with Regina King, Jeremy Irons, Tim Blake Nelson, and Louis Gossett Jr. all set to appear.

Watchmen is just one of many new dramas coming to HBO. With Game of Thrones gearing up to its series finale, the premier channel has been ordering new series left and right. Projects from notable creators such as J.J. Abrams, Jordan Peele, and Joss Whedon have all been given the green light.

The last time Watchmen saw screen time was in Zack Snyder's 2009 film adaptation, so it'll be interesting to see how the show gets reimagined 10 years later for television. Read more about the series at The Hollywood Reporter. Amari Pollard
