Tuesday has already proven to be a complete tornado of political news. Former Apprentice nemesis-turned-White House communications official Omarosa Manigault allegedly threatened a reporter, Donald Trump conducted sensitive national security work at his crowded golf club over the weekend, and probably the biggest news of today is that former national security advisor Michael Flynn stepped down just three weeks into his job with the new administration—setting a new record.
