This is AP News Minute.


The explosive new book about President Donald Trump 1's administration is selling out at bookstores across the US and Europe. Fire and Fury, Michael Wolf's tell-all of the inner workings of the Trump's administration, stood number one at both Amazon and Barnes & Noble as of midday Friday. The white house claims the book is full of lies.


President Donald Trump is praising the strength of the US economy ahead of meetings at Camp David with congressional republicans. Trump tells reporters on the South Lawn that "the tax cuts are really kicking in, after Congress passed a massive tax overhaul 2 at the end of 2017."


Frigid 3 temperatures, some that felt as cold as minus thirty degrees, moved across the east coast on Friday, as the region attempted to clean up from a massive winter storm. The storm brought more than a foot of snow, hurricane-force winds in coastal 4 flooding a day earlier.


One lucky winner could be hours away from taking home one of the largest jackpot in Mega Millions or Powerball history. It's more than two months since the last winner. Now both the Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots have rolled over to an estimated combined total of nearly one billion dollars.
