Good morning. It's Thursday, March 2. Then-Sen. Jeff Sessions spoke twice last year with Russia's ambassador to the United States, Justice Department officials said, encounters he did not disclose when asked about possible contacts between members of President Trump's campaign and representatives of Moscow during Sessions' confirmation hearing to become attorney general.

At least 12 Central Florida law enforcement officers have been shot or shot at in the first two months of this year, including 10 in the past week, leaving one dead and three injured.
