<p>On Thursday, the pop icon revealed that her BeyGOOD Foundation is working with Bread of Life and the Greater Houston Community Foundation to raise funds for relief efforts. The Houston native's <a href="https://www.beyonce.com/beygoodhouston/" target="_blank">website</a> encourages fans to donate to both organizations as the BeyGOOD team "heads to Houston to continue our relief efforts on the ground." Beyoncé herself has reportedly <a href="http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/hip-hop/7949804/beyonce-instagram-support-houston-hurricane-harvey-jamie-foxx-telethon" target="_blank">already donated</a> a "significant" amount.</p>
<p>Queen Bey isn't the only celebrity getting in formation post-Harvey: Drake <a href="http://www.thefader.com/2017/08/31/drake-hurricane-harvey-donation" target="_blank">also announced</a> Thursday that he's donating $200,000 to a Hurricane Harvey relief fundraiser being held by Houston Texans player J.J.

							 <p><a href="http://theweek.com/speedreads/755994/mueller-indicts-13-russian-nationals-interfering-2016-election" target="_blank">Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office announced Friday</a> the indictment of 13 Russians for meddling in the 2016 election. But that may just be the beginning.</p>
<p><i><a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-16/mueller-is-said-to-still-be-investigating-collusion-with-russia" target="_blank">Bloomberg Politics </a></i><a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-16/mueller-is-said-to-still-be-investigating-collusion-with-russia" target="_blank">reports</a> that Mueller and the FBI are not done probing possible collusion between President Trump's campaign and Russian actors during the election. A source who spoke to <i>Bloomberg </i>said that <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/16/here-are-some-of-the-most-important-quotes-from-muellers-indictment-of-russians.html" target="_blank">Friday's indictments</a> — which were the first interference-related charges to result from Mueller's probe — were only "a limited slice of a comprehensive investigation."</p>
<p>Friday's <a href="https://www.justice.gov/file/1035477/download" target="_blank">indictment</a> noted that those associated with the Trump campaign who came into contact with the Russian defendants were "unwitting" victims of Russian trickery. But <i>Bloomberg </i>warns that this does not preclude the possibility that Mueller will later charge other Americans for consciously working with Russian actors to influence the election. The collusion investigation "is expected to continue for months," <i>Bloomberg</i>'s source says.</p>
<p>On top of that, Mueller is still reportedly probing the possibility that Trump tried to obstruct justice as the Department of Justice's investigation into Russian meddling proceeded. Observers have pointed to Trump's firing of former FBI Director James Comey last May, as well as <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/25/us/politics/trump-mueller-special-counsel-russia.html" target="_blank">reports last month</a> that Trump once ordered the firing of Mueller himself, as evidence of potential obstruction.</p>
<p>Shortly after news of the indictments broke, the president <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/964594780088033282" target="_blank">proclaimed</a> on Twitter: "The Trump campaign did nothing wrong — no collusion!" Trump has <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2017/06/01/every-russia-story-trump-said-was-a-hoax-by-democrats-a-timeline/?utm_term=.c618039406e5" target="_blank">long claimed</a> that any allegations of Russian interference in the election are a hoax cooked up by Democrats. <a class="author" href=/authors/kelly-omeara><em>Kelly O'Meara Morales</em></a></p>

							 <p>White House Chief of Staff John Kelly has issued new guidance for doling out security clearances, <em>The Washington Post</em> <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/kelly-makes-changes-to-white-house-security-clearance-process-following-abuse-allegations-against-top-aide/2018/02/16/06c5ee46-1352-11e8-8ea1-c1d91fcec3fe_story.html?utm_term=.5a84e44bf2ab" target="_blank">reports</a>, following the fallout from the resignation of Rob Porter, the former staff secretary. The White House's security protocol came into question after it was revealed that Porter was working on an interim security clearance, with access to highly classified information, even though the FBI had learned of domestic violence allegations against him leveled by his two ex-wives.</p>
<p>In a <a href="http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/documents/politics/read-kellys-memo-of-proposed-changes-to-white-house-security-clearance-process/2777/" target="_blank">five-page memo</a> addressed to several top administration staffers, including White House Counsel Don McGahn, National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and FBI Director Christopher Wray, Kelly calls for a series of reforms. Notably, he <a href="https://twitter.com/mitchellreports/status/964606662500896768" target="_blank">requests</a> to "discontinue" any interim security clearances with high-level intelligence privileges for staffers whose background checks have been pending since June 1, 2017, and also suggests "[limiting] access to certain highly classified information for those individuals working with interim clearance status, absent explicit" approval from his office.</p>
<p>Porter resigned after the abuse allegations were made public last week, but Kelly has remained steadfast even after it was reported he'd known about the allegations for months. His outline for security protocol reveals "his desire inside of the White House to stay on as President Trump's top aide rather than step away," the <em>Post </em>writes. The document includes other highly specific suggestions, including mandating hand-delivery of all background checks from the FBI to the White House counsel.</p>

							 <p class="p1">President Trump is sticking to <a href="http://theweek.com/speedreads/755993/real-reason-mueller-just-indicted-13-russians" target="_blank">his long-held position</a> that Russia had no impact on the 2016 U.S. election — even after Special Counsel Robert Mueller indicted 13 Russian nationals for operations including "supporting the presidential campaign of then-candidate Donald J. Trump."</p>
<p class="p1">Trump tweeted as much Friday afternoon:</p>
<p></p><center>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr" xml:lang="en">Russia started their anti-US campaign in 2014, long before I announced that I would run for President. The results of the election were not impacted. The Trump campaign did nothing wrong - no collusion!</p>

<p class="p1">In <a href="https://twitter.com/esaagar/status/964597807402422273" target="_blank">an official White House statement</a>, Trump additionally called reports about Russia's hand in the election — including, apparently, those issued by his own Justice Department — "outlandish partisan attacks, wild and false allegations, and far-fetched theories."</p>
<p class="p1">The indictment published Friday alleges that from around 2014 to the present, Russian agents conspired to "defraud the United States by impairing, obstructing, and defeating the lawful functions of the government," including "the presidential election of 2016." <a class="author" href=/authors/jeva-lange><em>Jeva Lange</em></a></p>

							 <p>Florida Gov. Rick Scott (R) called for the resignation of FBI Director Christopher Wray on Friday, following the bureau's earlier admission that it failed to act on a tip about <a href="http://theweek.com/speedreads/755671/suspected-shooter-from-florida-high-school-shooting-confesses-killing-17-people" target="_blank">confessed</a> high school shooter Nikolas Cruz.</p>
<p>Cruz confessed to carrying out a mass shooting Wednesday at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, killing 17. Earlier Friday, <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/fbi-statement-on-the-shooting-in-parkland-florida" target="_blank">the FBI released a statement</a> saying that a person "close to" Cruz had called its public tip line on Jan. 5, but that a breach of protocol occurred and the agency failed to follow up on the information. Scott said the FBI's failure to investigate was "unacceptable," especially given that the tip specifically mentioned Cruz's "potential of ... conducting a school shooting."</p>
<p>People are encouraged to warn authorities about potential threats, Scott said, and the FBI's failure to act could shake the public's confidence "in the follow through from law enforcement." "An apology will never bring these 17 Floridians back to life," Scott wrote. "The FBI director needs to resign." Read his full statement below. <var class="author"><a href="theweek.com/authors/kelly-omeara?tags=speedread" target="_blank">Kelly O'Meara Morales</a></var></p>

							 <p>The FBI's failure to stop a mass shooting in Florida on Wednesday demands a congressional investigation, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) said Friday. In a statement, the Florida Republican called it "inexcusable" that the FBI did not act after being told in January that Nikolas Cruz, the 19-year-old <a href="http://theweek.com/speedreads/755671/suspected-shooter-from-florida-high-school-shooting-confesses-killing-17-people" target="_blank">who admitted to killing 17 people</a> at a high school in Parkland, Florida, had demonstrated "a desire to kill" and "erratic behavior."</p>
<p>Earlier on Friday, <a href="https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/fbi-statement-on-the-shooting-in-parkland-florida" target="_blank">FBI Director Christopher Wray admitted</a> that the FBI had been warned about Cruz by "a person close to" him, and pledged that the FBI would "[review] our processes for responding to information that we receive from the public."</p>
<p>But an internal review will not suffice, Rubio said: "[The] House and the Senate need to immediately initiate their own investigations into the FBI's protocols for ensuring tips from the public about potential killers are followed through."

							 <p class="p1">Annika Dean <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XkRxu7qCX40" target="_blank">survived a mass shooting</a> at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport last January, shielded by a stranger she called her "guardian angel." On Wednesday, her son, 14-year-old Austin Foote, also became a shooting survivor: He is a student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where 17 were killed. Nikolas Cruz, 19, has confessed to being the shooter.</p>
<p class="p3">"I had just finished teaching my classes, I was looking at my phone and my son began texting me about what was happening at Stoneman Douglas," Dean, who is an elementary school art teacher, <a href="http://www.sun-sentinel.com/local/broward/parkland/florida-school-shooting/fl-florida-school-shooting-annika-dean-20180216-story.html" target="_blank">told the <em>Sun-Sentinel</em></a>. "He said this is not a drill, this is actual, and my heart just sank. I knew what he was going through."</p>
<p class="p3">Upsettingly, it is not the only story of its sort. Carly Novell, 17, also survived the attack at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, just as her grandfather had survived a mass shooting in 1949 by hiding in a closet while he heard his parents be shot outside. "My family has always been really supportive of gun control," <a href="https://www.thecut.com/2018/02/my-grandpa-survived-mass-shooting-i-survived-stoneman.html" target="_blank">she wrote at</a><em><a href="https://www.thecut.com/2018/02/my-grandpa-survived-mass-shooting-i-survived-stoneman.html" target="_blank"> The Cut,</a></em> adding: "Anytime there is a shooting we are always thinking about my grandpa. And now it is happening so much more often. I think my grandfather would be really angry and upset." <a class="author" href=/authors/jeva-lange><em>Jeva Lange</em></a></p>

							 <p>Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team has indicted 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities for meddling in the 2016 election. In the first election interference charges to result from Mueller's probe, the federal indictment states that the defendants "conspired to obstruct the lawful functions of the United States government through fraud and deceit."</p>
<p>The document explains how a Russian organization, the Internet Research Agency, used fake accounts on various social media platforms to sow chaos during the presidential election. In some cases, Russian agents assumed the identities of real Americans to manipulate social media. The goal was to "use any opportunity to criticize Hillary [Clinton] and the rest" of the <a href="http://theweek.com/speedreads/755971/russian-agents-apparently-engaged-operations-undermine-marco-rubio-ted-cruz" target="_blank">candidates</a>, while actively supporting Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Donald Trump. The Russians also allegedly aimed to suppress the minority vote by encouraging minorities to vote for a third-party candidate or skip voting altogether.</p>
<p>The indictment also claims that "unwitting members, volunteers, and supporters of the Trump campaign" came into contact with Russians posing as Americans. In a press conference announcing the indictment, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein <a href="https://twitter.com/dcexaminer/status/964572299792961538" target="_blank">said the charges were</a> "a reminder that people are not always who they seem on the internet." Still, he told reporters, "There is no allegation in this indictment that [such meddling] altered the outcome of the 2016 election."</p>
