• White House discussing whether DACA deadline can be moved. Washington (CNN)The Trump administration is looking to buy itself time on a decision on a popular program that protects young undocumented immigrants, especially amid the extensive destruction of Hurricane Harvey. The White House is looking at whether the state attorneys general who are pushing for a decision on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program would be willing to extend their deadline of September 5 for action from Trump, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
• Trump expected to announce end to Obama-era DACA, official says  (FOX News) — President Trump, as early as Friday, is expected to announce plans to end the Obama administration program that gave a deportation reprieve to hundreds of thousands of young illegal immigrants, a senior administration official told Fox News.

• MENENDEZ: New Jersey Senator Menendez’s graft trial could sway D.C. power balance. NEW YORK (Reuters) – More than two years after U.S. Senator Bob Menendez was indicted on federal corruption charges, the New Jersey Democrat finally faces trial next week in a case whose verdict could sway the balance of power in Washington. Menendez, 63, is accused of taking bribes, including luxury trips and campaign contributions, from a wealthy patron since shortly after he was first elected to the Senate in 2006. He has denied any wrongdoing, and his lawyer, Abbe Lowell, said in a statement that the senator “is in good spirits, has faith in the American system of justice, and is confident that when all the facts are heard, he will be vindicated.” Menendez is running for re-election next year despite the charges. If he is convicted, he would face significant pressure to resign, and the Republican-controlled Senate could seek to expel him. His replacement, at least until January, would be named by New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, a Republican and ally of President Donald Trump. That would add to the Republicans’ 52-48 Senate majority only months after their bid to repeal former President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare law failed by a single vote.
