Obama official says Trump broke protocol in touting job numbers before official release. Utah sues opioid manufacturer. Pleasant Grove police chief under fire for campaign signs.
Happy Friday. President Barack Obama’s former economic adviser this morning floated the idea that President Donald Trump should be barred from getting the monthly jobs report in advance, after Trump tweeted out what appeared to be a tease of the strong numbers. He tweeted just after 7 a.m. this morning, ahead of the official release of job numbers that show unemployment fell to 3.8% in May, the lowest since April 2000. Such details that are market driving information, are closely held.
