Notable Events of the Week:

  • “Bishops and other leaders of the Roman Catholic Church in Pennsylvania covered up child sexual abuse by more than 300 priests over a period of 70 years, persuading victims not to report the abuse and law enforcement not to investigate it, according to a searing report issued by a grand jury on Tuesday.” NY Times
  • “President Trump on Wednesday followed through on threats to strip the security clearance of former CIA director John O. Brennan, igniting a firestorm of criticism that the president was recklessly attempting to distract from his own political problems and silence high-profile critics. … [S]ecurity experts have described such a move as unprecedented and warned that words and actions protected by the First Amendment aren’t grounds to take a clearance away.” Washington Post
  • “On Thursday afternoon, with the furor over Omarosa Manigault Newman’s tell-all memoir of her year in the White House slightly fading, reality TV’s favorite villain struck again.” CNN
