Long week? Short List. Catch up on news everyone's talking about: Stormy Daniels and Donald Trump, Bill and Camille Cosby, National Teacher of the Year's 45 student refugee letters, and Sandra Bullock stalking case.
| |  |  | | The situation is stormy, but Trump is clear: No campaign funds for porn star hush money |  | | President Trump acknowledges Stormy Daniels payoff | | President Trump acknowledged a $130,000 payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels on Thursday, despite his previous denial that he knew anything about the payment. If your head is spinning, you're not alone. The White House has changed its story several times in the past few months on who knew what, when. Here's a look at the ongoing saga: | | | | Just in: House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan reversed his decision Thursday to oust House chaplain Patrick Conroy after Conroy challenged his forced resignation and essentially dared Ryan to fire him. | | Bill Cosby's wife compare's husband to Emmett Till | | Label this under cringe-worthy: Camille Cosby, Bill Cosby's wife of 54 years, says her husband's conviction on sexual assault charges, is the fault of media "lynch mobs." In the first official statement from the Cosby household since the ex-TV icon was found guilty a week ago, Camille Cosby likened her husband to martyred Emmett Till and other black men falsely accused of rape by white women. She declared that accuser Andrea Constand and dozens of other Cosby accusers lied, and blamed his troubles on the media. On Thursday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences expelled Cosby, citing his violation of the governing film group's Standards of Conduct. | | Why the teacher of the year gave Trump 45 letters from refugee students | | President Trump has a reading assignment from the National Teacher of the Year: 45 letters from her refugee students . Mandy Manning, who has taught for 18 years, delivered a speech Thursday at the White House when she found herself with a few private moments with Trump. So she handed him a manila folder titled "Dear Mr. President" and a return address. Inside, letters from Ferris High School students and other residents of Spokane, Wash., were "both positive and pointed," some urging Trump to watch his language when taking about immigrants and refugees, Manning told USA TODAY. | | Sandra Bullock stalking case comes to deadly end | | Sandra Bullock's "obsessed" stalker, who broke into the movie star's home in 2014 as she hid in her closet, killed himself Wednesday after an hours-long standoff with police. The grisly saga ended when Los Angeles police were serving a search warrant linked to the stalking case on Joshua James Corbett , 42. Corbett barricaded himself inside his home and "threats of violence" were made at the scene, police said. Police entered the house after five hours, finding the man dead of "self-inflicted injuries" from a "sharp object." | | ICMYI, here's what you need to know before dinner: | | | | | MOST SHARED STORIES | | | | | | | | | | | | FOLLOW US Thank you for subscribing to The Short List.
