Also in this briefing: Representative Ilhan Omar's legal team objects to a federal search seizing her phone and passport; bipartisan backlash mounts against Trump's waiver of Graham Act Russia sanctions; and a Nature study demonstrates the human brain processes complex speech under propofol anesthesia.
