Political Cornflakes: Debate arises about whether Trump staged Situation Room photo

A former official chief White House photographer raised questions about whether President Donald Trump staged a stern-faced Situation Room photo said to be taken during the raid that killed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Pete Souza tweeted that the time stamp was 90 minutes after the reported time of the raid. He later said it is possible the raid was “still going on” when the photo was shot, but social media erupted with speculation that Trump was golfing during the raid and later staged the shot.

Topping the news: Federal officials shift gears to say now that off-road vehicles won’t be allowed in Utah’s national parks, a move applauded by eco-advocates.
