A federal judge in Rhode Island has dismissed the Trump administration's lawsuit demanding the state's unredacted voter rolls. U.S. District Court Judge Mary McElroy on Friday sided with Rhode Island election officials and civil rights advocates, stating federal law doesn't allow such a "fishing expedition." The Justice Department declined to comment. The DOJ claims it needs the data for election security, but officials argue the demand violates privacy laws and are concerned it will be used to check citizenship status. The Rhode Island ruling is similar to other rejections by federal judges across the country since the Justice Department began seeking detailed voter data from the states.
Congress has approved a short-term renewal of a controversial surveillance program used by U.S. spy agencies just days before it was set to expire. A bill extending the program until April 30 cleared the Senate by voice vote Friday as Congress raced to send it to President Donald Trump for his signature. Lawmakers turned to a short-term extension of the program after an attempt to pass a five-year renewal failed in a late-night House vote. The short-term fix sets the stage for another showdown in a matter of weeks. The program permits key national security agencies to collect and analyze vast amounts of overseas communications without a warrant.

Tiger Woods' attorney plans to fight prosecutors' attempts to subpoena the golfer's prescription drug records. The attorney argues that Woods has a constitutional right to privacy regarding his medications. He asked a judge in Florida this week to hold a hearing to determine if the records are necessary for the investigation. Woods has pleaded not guilty to driving under the influence. Authorities say he showed signs of impairment after an accident last month. Prosecutors are seeking his prescription records from a pharmacy in Palm Beach. Prosecutors also demanded the names and locations of any witnesses Woods plans to present in his defense.
