## Resource

President Donald Trump said he would be making an announcement in the early afternoon on the Senate primary contest in Texas between incumbent Sen. John Cornyn and state Attorney General Ken Paxton. “And I hope you find it good,” Trump said without giving any details on who he would endorse, but added, “I’ve pretty much always known who I was going to endorse.” Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche is testifying before a Senate appropriations subcommittee today.
