Internationally, several nations have imposed trade restrictions on Israel, while art thieves recently targeted a French museum to steal Renoir paintings. Domestic coverage includes political scrutiny of Corey Lewandowski’s influence at the Department of Homeland Security and a debate over massive tax breaks for data centers.
