Republicans are breaking with President Trump over his order waiving the tariffs and sanctions in the Russia sanctions law named for the late Sen. Lindsey Graham. His sister, Sen. Darline Graham, says she'd "keep the pressure on Russia." Sen. Thom Tillis calls it "beyond irresponsible." Trump says he doesn't want to drive Russia from peace talks, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio says Trump will take up to 60 days to weigh the impact.

Treasury says its financial crimes unit has found about $270 million in suspicious activity potentially linked to federal student aid fraud, including "ghost student" schemes that enroll fake students with stolen identities.

Treasury says the figure is not a full measure of the problem.
