How a dyslexic spy stole reams of government secrets One of the biggest thefts of American secret documents was carried out by Brian Regan, a dyslexic staffer at the National Reconnaissance Office. Why did he do it? For money and revenge. Regan’s story is told in the book ‘The Spy Who Couldn't Spell.’

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.
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.

And hundreds of positions are unfilled in federal agencies.
