While Facebook might be thought to have a more liberal than conservative bent, the social media giant is donating $62,500 to the Conservative Political Action Conference. During the election, Facebook was accused of stifling conservative voices on its trending news section. Now, with a Republican White House and Legislature, Facebook is covering all the bases.

On Monday, President Donald Trump announced his pick for his second National Security Adviser: Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster. Gen. McMaster joins the White House national security team after Gen. Michael Flynn resigned after only 24 days. "He is a man of tremendous talent and tremendous experience," the president said of McMaster. "I watched and read a lot over the last two days. He is highly respected by everybody in the military, and we're very honored to have him."

Alex Marlow, the editor-in-chief of Breitbart, responded to the video that surfaced showing Milo Yiannopoulos seemingly condoning sex between older men and underage boys by saying the comments were “not defensible.” Following the surfacing of the video, Yiannopoulos was disinvited from speaking at the conservative conference CPAC, and had a book deal cancelled by Simon & Schuster. Yiannopoulos will hold a press conference in New York City today, where he is expected to respond to the revelations.

President Trump asked retired Vice Admiral Robert Harward to fill the role of National Security Adviser vacated by General Michael Flynn -- an offer he has been turned down.

People familiar with the situation said another reason Harward turned down the offer was because Trump was not going to give him full latitude to bring in his own team.

The GOP put out a survey Thursday night, Feb. 16. that defines bias polling. The "Mainstream Media Accountability Survey" asks leading, slanted questions, slams the news media and was only sent  to a Trump email list, ensuring desired -- and skewed -- results.

The White House has denied statements made in a White House document leaked by the AP that say President Trump is considering mobilizing up to 100,000 National Guard units to help round up illegal immigrants.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is still trying to get President Trump to adhere to his disciplined style. “Well, I’ve been pretty candid with him, and all of you that I’m not a great fan of daily tweets. What I am a fan of is what he’s been actually doing,” McConnell told reporters on Friday. “I’ve not been a fan of the extra discussion that he likes to engage in. But we’re going to soldier on.”

President Trump has said that he will find the people in the administration who have leaked information and they will be punished. He tweeted: “The spotlight has finally been put on the low-life leakers! They will be caught!” President Trump is looking to shift the conversation away from Flynn’s resignation and toward the leaks.
