					<description><![CDATA[White House press secretary Sean Spicer told a roomful of reporters that &#8220;our intention is never to lie to you,&#8221; although sometimes the Trump administration may &#8220;disagree with the facts.&#8221; Spicer&#8217;s first full press briefing was closely watched Monday following a weekend statement about President Donald Trump&#8216;s inauguration audience that included incorrect assertions. After White House counselor Kellyanne Conway received wide social media attention for her explanation that Spicer had presented &#8220;alternative facts,&#8221; Monday&#8217;s briefing was televised live on CNN,&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[President associated Donald Trump&#8216;s speech Saturday at the headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency turned into the latest battle in, as he put it, his &#8220;running war with the media.&#8221; He had two central complaints: that the media misrepresented the size of the crowd at his inauguration and that it was incorrectly reported a bust of Martin Luther King Jr. was removed from the Oval Office. A look at those assertions: TRUMP: &#8220;I made a speech. I looked out. The field&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Pledging to empower America&#8217;s &#8220;forgotten men and women,&#8221; Donald Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States Friday, taking command of a deeply divided nation and ushering in an unpredictable era in Washington. His victory gives Republicans control of the White House for the first time in eight years. Looking out over the crowd sprawled across the National Mall, Trump painted a bleak picture of the nation he now leads, lamenting &#8220;American carnage,&#8221; shuttered factories and&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s supposed to feel just like home when Donald Trump steps inside the White House residence for the first time as president on Inauguration Day. His clothes will be hanging in the closet. The kitchen will be stocked with his favorite foods. Windows will have been washed, carpets vacuumed or replaced, and fresh linens and towels will be in all the bedrooms and baths. No packed or half-empty boxes will be lying around either, unlike a typical home move. Trump&#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Florida lobbyists are an optimistic lot, so says an exclusive state-of-the-industry survey in the latest issue of INFLUENCE Magazine. In its first-ever &#8220;State of the Lobby Corps&#8221; poll, conducted with a major assist from the Florida Association of Professional Lobbyists, the magazine asked more than 700 members of the government affairs industry to weigh in on a range of topics. There are 1,977 registered Florida lobbyists working with the Legislative branch, representing about 4,000 principals, and 1,539 for the executive&#8230;]]></description>
