CRIMINAL MINDS. Trump pardons Rod Blagojevich, Michael Milken, Bernard Kerik, and Edward DeBartolo: “President Trump commuted the 14-year prison sentence of former Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich of Illinois, the Democrat who was convicted of trying to essentially sell Barack Obama's vacated Senate seat for personal gain, and pardoned the financier Michael R. Milken and Bernard B. Kerik, the former New York City police commissioner, the president announced on Tuesday.”

EMERGENCY MEETING. Federal Judges Association calls unprecedented meeting to discuss Trump and AG Bill Barr's intervention in Roger Stone sentencing: “U.S. District Judge Cynthia M. Rufe, the Philadelphia-based judge who heads the voluntary association of around 1,100 life-term federal judges, told USA Today that the issue “could not wait.” The association, founded in 1982, ordinarily concerns itself with matters of judicial compensation and legislation affecting the federal judiciary.”

WENDY WILLIAMS. Audience groans as Williams makes tasteless joke about falling death of Drew Carey's Ex-Fiancee Amie Harwick.

ON STAGE. Saturday Night Live cast-member Kenan Thompson and Netflix's Hasan Minhaj to headline White House Correspondents' Dinner in April. ‘Thompson will serve as the dinner's host while Minhaj, the host of Netflix's “Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj” and who was the event's headliner in 2017, will serve as the featured entertainer, the WHCA announced.'

2020. Major Nevada Latino group backs Sanders: “Mijente, a grass-roots organization that mobilizes Latinx and Chicanx voters, decided to make its first-ever presidential endorsement in response to President Donald Trump's rhetoric and policies targeting Latinos. The endorsement adds to the growing collection of progressive groups coalescing around the Vermont senator, after earlier expectations they would be divided between him and Elizabeth Warren.”
