Why Melania Trump covers her head one day and not the next
Melania Trump wore a veil to the Vatican on Wednesday to meet the pope, but no head covering a few days earlier to meet the king of Saudi Arabia, a religiously conservative country where most women cover themselves up from head to toe. The answer is a complicated mix of personal preference, diplomatic protocol and religious dictates. Stephanie Grisham, a spokeswoman for the first lady, said Mrs. Trump's decision to wear a black lace veil known as a mantilla followed Vatican protocol that women who have an audience with the pope must wear long sleeves, formal black clothing and a veil to cover their head.

Who is Greg Gianforte, the Montana House candidate who allegedly attacked a reporter?
In his campaign for Montana’s lone house seat — already attracting an unusual degree of coverage for its possible national implications — Republican Greg Gianforte got a lot more attention than he bargained for Wednesday evening, after he was cited for misdemeanor assault for allegedly “body-slamming” a reporter seeking to interview him. The reporter, Ben Jacobs of the Guardian, had approached Gianforte seeking a comment on the Congressional Budget Office report on the Republican health care bill. The 56-year-old Gianforte is in an unexpectedly tight race for the seat vacated by Ryan Zinke, who left his post to become Secretary of the Interior in President Trump’s administration.

Advertisers Pull Out Of Sean Hannity’s Show Over Seth Rich Conspiracy Theory
Sean Hannity’s fixation with a conspiracy theory surrounding the death of Democratic National Committee (DNC) staffer Seth Rich led a few companies to pull out from his Fox News show Wednesday. Hannity has maintained his support of the theory, which said Rich was killed because he leaked thousands of emails to WikiLeaks last July. Hannity said Tuesday on his show he would not talk about or discuss Rich’s death — especially after the deceased’s parents urged media personalities who promoted the conspiracy theory to stop causing them "unbearable" pain by supporting such "baseless" theories.
