How John Kerry's role as Biden's special climate envoy will work
Joe Biden's team had previously announced that John Kerry will be on the National Security Council as its first dedicated climate official, but hadn't disclosed much about the logistics of the position.

Woodward book: Former intel chief Dan Coats believed "Putin had something on Trump"
Former director of national intelligence Dan Coats could not shake his "deep suspicions" that Russian President Vladimir Putin "had something" on President Trump, seeing "no other explanation" for the president's behavior, according to Bob Woodward's new book "Rage," which was obtained ahead of its publication next week by CNN.
Why it matters: Coats was the president's top intelligence official from March 2017 until Aug. 2019. Woodward reports that Coats and his staff examined the intelligence regarding Trump's ties to Russia "as carefully as possible," and that he "still questions the relationship" between Trump and Putin despite the apparent absence of intelligence proof.
