North Korea’s weekend missile launch showed advances, a Pentagon assessment found.

President
Donald Trump is "evaluating the situation" around national security
adviser Michael Flynn possibly misleading Vice President Mike Pence
about whether he discussed sanctions against Russia with the Russian
ambassador before Trump took office.
Flynn's possible talk of sanctions -- and the fact that he likely misled Pence -- created a turbulent 72 hours for the White House, leading many to speculate that Trump's national security adviser could be asked to leave three weeks into his tenure.
"The President is evaluating the situation," White House press secretary Sean Spicer said in a statement. "He's speaking to the vice president relative to the conversation the vice president had with Gen. Flynn, and also speaking to various other people about what he considers the single most important subject there is: our national security."
The noncommittal statement came shortly after Kellyanne Conway, the counselor to the President, told reporters that Trump has "full confidence" in Flynn.

The
Justice Department warned the Trump administration last month that
Michael Flynn misled administration officials regarding his
communications with the Russian ambassador to the United States and was
potentially vulnerable to blackmail by the Russians, a person familiar with the matter told CNN.
The concern was raised after Flynn claimed he did not discuss with the Russian ambassador the sanctions being imposed by the Obama administration in retaliation for Russia's interference in the election. Flynn was not yet in government.
