- Federal agents questioned then-National Security Adviser Mike Flynn in January, shortly after the White House denied he had talked about sanctions with a Russian official. It is unclear what Flynn told the FBI agents, or whether his account during the interview was contradicted by intelligence intercepts. http://on.wsj.com/2lJudXF
- Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen signaled that the central bank could consider raising short-term interest rates at its next policy meeting in March if the economy continues to strengthen as expected. An increase in the Fed's benchmark federal-funds rate likely would be appropriate "at our upcoming meetings," barring an unexpected setback to job gains or rising inflation, Yellen said. http://on.wsj.com/2lJjY5B
- North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's estranged half-brother Kim Jong Nam was killed under mysterious circumstances in Malaysia, the South Korean government and Malaysian police said, eliminating a reform-minded member of the dynasty who was once considered next in line to rule the isolated country. http://on.wsj.com/2lJfj3q
- A Virginia judge's sharply worded ruling against President Donald Trump's executive order on immigration this week, which focused on the question of religious discrimination, increased pressure on the White House as it seeks to rewrite the order or find another legal path forward. In a 22-page ruling U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema said Trump's executive order likely violated constitutional protections against religious discrimination, and she barred enforcement of part of the order in Virginia while the case continues. http://on.wsj.com/2lJw2Uv
