Good morning from Washington, where meetings with Russians no longer are cool. A former FBI official tells our Fred Lucas that the president's son-in-law, not his eldest son, may have a legal problem.

Plus: Daniel Kochis on holding on to Russian property, and Andrea Vacchiano on college "diversity officers" who make more than professors.
