The Trials of Pamela Smart Before there was the OJ Simpson trial...before the Casey Anthony trial….before Court TV…there was the trial of Pamela Smart. It was the first to be covered on live TV, with every moment in the courtroom captured. Smart, a 23-year-old woman, was accused of convincing her 15-year-old lover to kill her husband. A new documentary explores the case and how the media frenzy around the trial led to the conviction of a woman who may be innocent.

Why is Trump so behind on filling staff jobs, establishing concrete policies? Yesterday Donald Trump signed a “decision memo” to revamp the air traffic control system. But there was little legislative detail in the plan. There’s not much to other splashy announcements from the White House, including tax cuts and the arms deal with Saudi Arabia. And hundreds of positions are unfilled in federal agencies.

Accusations of lying fly between James Comey and White House During his testimony Thursday, former FBI Director James Comey accused President Trump and other White House officials of lying when they said the FBI was in disarray and its staff had lost confidence in him. President Trump’s lawyer said Comey was wrong -- that the president never asked for his loyalty, and never asked him to back off the investigation into former NSA director Michael Flynn.
