And if you like your newsletter, you can subscribe to it here: http://bit.ly/1NxxW2N.   THE BIG DEAL: The U.S.-China trade war showed tentative signs of easing Tuesday as Chinese President Xi Jinping renewed his promise to "significantly lower" import tariffs and open up the country's financial markets, including taxes on automobiles. Xi's pledge reflected long-promised reforms that haven't yet materialized, but Trump praised the Chinese president for his "kind words." "Very thankful for President Xi of China's kind words on tariffs and automobile barriers...also, his enlightenment on intellectual property and technology transfers. We will make great progress together," Trump tweeted Monday morning. Xi's announcement spurred stock futures to rapid gains, but the pledge is but one concession in a complex showdown between the U.S. and China over their tightly integrated economies. Xi's remarks mostly reiterated pre-existing commitments and contained few new initiatives, raising doubts among some observers that it would be enough to defuse tensions. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) called Xi's pledge "a total farce" and "unbelievable" after the Chinese president has ramped up state control of the internet.   The announcement comes as Republican senators scramble to figure out if Trump has an endgame in the escalating trade fight with China. Prices for soybeans, corn and wheat dropped in anticipation that China will hit U.S. exports hard if Trump goes through with a plan to impose tariffs on another $100 billion in Chinese imports. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is urging his colleagues to call Trump and express their opposition to tariffs amid growing worries that a trade war with China could hurt Republican Senate candidates in the midterm elections. Chinese retaliation on such crops would strike deep in states like North Dakota, Missouri and Montana that are crucial Senate battlegrounds this fall. The GOP is banking on a strong economy to boost their November efforts to protect their narrow congressional majority. "This is a big deal. In South Dakota we can't afford to have that kind of loss in the markets just on speculation we might end up in a trade war," said Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.).  Worse, from the point of view of Rounds and others, is that it's not clear where the fight is headed. "My question, very respectfully, to the president is, 'What's your game plan? What's your endgame on this?' " said Rounds. "I think the administration needs to be able to explain their logic on why they're doing it this way and whether there's any logic to it." The Hill's Alexander Bolton dives into the GOP concerns here.   Meanwhile, China has filed a trade case at the World Trade Organization (WTO) over Trump's steel and aluminum tariffs. Beijing has requested dispute consultations over the tariffs -- 25 percent on imported steel and 10 percent on aluminum -- that Trump instituted last month over national security concerns under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. China, which has requested 60 days of consultations with the United States, argues that the tariffs are inconsistent with WTO rules and has said that the United States imposed the duties as a safeguard measure that countries use to counter export restrictions by other nations.     On tap tomorrow House Financial Services Committee: Acting Consumer Finance Protection Bureau Director Mick Mulvaney testifies on the agency's semiannual report, 10 a.m.   What to watch for during Mulvaney's debut hearing as CFPB chief: Mick Mulvaney will testify before Congress on Wednesday for the first time in his role as acting chief of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. While he's testified before in his capacity as White House budget director, this is the first chance lawmakers will get to press Mulvaney on his plans for the CFPB. Mulvaney has already drawn extensive criticism from Democrats and consumer rights groups formerly aligned with the CFPB who say he's hijacked the agency to protect banks and special interests.  Republicans and lenders subject to CFPB oversight have sung his praises, lauding Mulvaney reeling in an agency they've insisted has overstepped its mandate and the law to penalize lenders. The CFPB has long been the focal point of partisan battles, and Mulvaney's proposal to drastically limit the power of the bureau will spur several more this week. Here are five issues on where you can expect lawmakers to grill the acting director.  Transforming the CFPB: Mulvaney asked Congress to strip much of the CFPB's power and independence in his first semiannual report on the bureau's activities. A staunch conservative who has opposed the bureau's existence, Mulvaney has called on Congress to take control of the bureau's funding, make his successors fireable at will by the president, install an inspector general and give lawmakers the sole power to finalize the bureau's rules. Republicans have been widely supportive of such proposals, which were included in the House GOP's 2017 effort to gut the Dodd-Frank Act, the bill that established the CFPB. Democrats have fiercely opposed such efforts, which they insist would weaken the bureau to the point of uselessness. This issue is the foundation of the debate over the CFPB, and should be a major point of contention on Wednesday. Payday lending: One of the CFPB's final regulatory actions under former director Richard Cordray was the finalization of a rule on short-term, high interest or "payday" loans. The rule was intended to prevent vulnerable consumers from ending up in cyclical debt, but Republicans say the measure is an overreaching, misguided constraint on essential financial products. Republicans in both chambers have introduced measures to void the rule, and Mulvaney had unsuccessfully tried to find a way to revoke it himself. Democrats have seized on his opposition to the rule, his moves to end pre-existing lawsuits against payday lenders and debt collectors for those loans, and his receipt of campaign contributions from such firms. CFPB enforcement actions: Mulvaney often expresses fear over the immense power he has to unilaterally approve lawsuits and fines against lenders as the bureau's acting chief. He's promised to take an easier approach to firms in the bureau's crosshairs, which has enraged Democrats skeptical of his interest in policing financial fraud. The Associated Press reported Tuesday that Mulvaney hasn't initiated an enforcement action against a lender since he took charge of the bureau in November. That won't sit well with Democrats, but will likely be welcome news to Republicans. Wells Fargo and Equifax: The San Francisco megabank and the credit agency are perhaps the two most reviled financial services companies in the U.S. at the moment. The CFPB issued a record-breaking fine to Wells Fargo in September 2016 after the bank opened millions of unauthorized user accounts, and began a probe of Equifax last September after the company revealed a massive cyber breach. Both scandals drew bipartisan scorn and are expected to stretch several more months, if not longer. Mulvaney can expect questions on the CFPB's role in handling those two companies. How long will he stay? Mulvaney said Monday that his clock as acting director runs out on June 22. However, if Trump nominates his replacement before Mulvaney's time expires, the acting director will stay on until the Senate confirms a new permanent chief. Republicans and the financial sector have fawned over Mulvaney's work at CFPB, while Democrats hold out for their next chance to replace the bureau's chief.   LEADING THE DAY What, me worry? Republican lawmakers on Tuesday brushed aside a report from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) that found their signature tax law would add $1.9 trillion to deficits by 2028. The Republicans in their budget resolution allowed for the tax law to add $1.5 trillion to deficits, but insisted throughout the process that the impact on the debt would be minimal. They stood by that take on Tuesday, saying the CBO is wrong to estimate that the tax law will actually boost deficits by nearly $2 trillion. "I just totally disagree with their analysis on this. A very modest increase in growth is going to result in more revenue than we would otherwise have. A blowout spending bill is going to cause a problem, which is why the omnibus was terrible," said Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.). The tax bill, he asserted, would end up adding to government revenue. The Hill's Niv Elis explains why the GOP has turned on the CBO.   Bank of America cuts off gunmakers:  A Bank of America executive announced Tuesday that the bank will stop lending money to companies that manufacture "military-style" rifles that are available for civilians to purchase. Anne Finucane, Bank of America's vice chair, told Bloomberg TV that the bank doesn't want to "underwrite or finance military-style firearms" and has told a number of gun manufacturers that it will no longer do business with them. The bank has lent to the gunmakers Vista Outdoor, Remington and Sturm Ruger, CNBC reported. Bank of America had said that after the shooting in Parkland, Fla., in mid-February it was exploring ways it could contribute to stemming gun violence. The confessed gunman in that shooting used an AR-15-style rifle. The Hill's Luis Sanchez has more here.   MARKET CHECK: Stocks soared on slightly easing trade tensions between the U.S and China. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 428 points, a 1.79 percent jump, while the Nasdaq and S&P 500 increased by 2 percent and 1.6 percent each.   GOOD TO KNOW Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told me today that he's "gotta get on" his efforts to bring hius resolution to repeal the CFPB payday lending rule to the Senate floor, and that I should check with him at the later in the week. I'll keep you posted about that. Senate Banking Committee Chairman Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) told me today that the House and Senate are "continually having discussions" on how to move his bipartisan Dodd-Frank rollback bill through the House, but that he's "not at liberty" to reveal anything yet. Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) was cleared Tuesday to be the next chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee, according to an announcement from his office. Key Republican Senators have raised doubts that a rescission bill canceling some government spending would be able to pass the Senate. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) also threw cold water on the idea. Foreign direct investment between the U.S. and China fell by 28 percent in 2017, according to a report released Tuesday, amid growing economic tensions between the two countries. Rep. Jackie Speier (D-Calif.) introduced legislation Tuesday aimed at preventing companies from pricing similar products and services differently based on gender.    ODDS AND ENDS Blue Apron said Tuesday it will no longer advertise on Laura Ingraham's show, joining more than 20 other sponsors that have cut ties with the Fox News host after she posted a critical tweet about a Parkland, Fla., student.     Write us with tips, suggestions and news: slane@thehill.com, vneedham@thehill.com, njagoda@thehill.com, and nelis@thehill.com.

Overnight Cybersecurity: Zuckerberg faces grilling in marathon hearing | What we learned from Facebook chief | Dems press Ryan to help get Russia hacking records | Top Trump security adviser resigning

View in your browser       Welcome to OVERNIGHT CYBERSECURITY, your daily rundown of the biggest news in the world of hacking and data privacy. We're here to connect the dots as leaders in government, policy and industry try to counter the rise in cyber threats. What lies ahead for Congress, the administration and the latest company under siege? Whether you're a consumer, a techie or a D.C. lifer, we're here to give you ...   THE BIG STORY: FACEBOOK, FACEBOOK, FACEBOOK. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg faced lawmakers on the Senate Commerce and Judiciary Committees on Tuesday in the first of two marathon Capitol Hill hearings. Zuckerberg addressed the company's response to the Cambridge Analytica data controversy, efforts to combat disinformation following Russian interference in the presidential election, among other issues. Some of the big takeaways so far:   --ZUCKERBERG SAYS I'M SORRY: Zuckerberg opened his remarks to the Senate Judiciary and Commerce committees hearings with a contrite tone, apologizing for his company's recent missteps. "It's clear now that we didn't do enough to prevent these tools from being used for harm as well. That goes for fake news, foreign interference in elections and hate speech, as well as developers and data privacy. We didn't take a broad enough view of our responsibility, and that was a big mistake," Zuckerberg said, unilaterally shouldering the responsibility for Facebook's mistakes. "It was my mistake, and I'm sorry. I started Facebook, I run it, and I'm responsible for what happens here," he said. Zuckerberg spent the rest of his remarks detailing previously released details about the Cambridge Analytica scandal including steps his company is taking to improve consumer data.   --FACEBOOK DIDN'T NOTIFY FTC ABOUT LEAK: Zuckerberg told lawmakers that Facebook did not notify the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) about the Cambridge Analytica data scandal when it discovered the issue in 2015. "We had considered it a closed case," Zuckerberg said in response to questions from Sen. Bill Nelson (D-Fla.). Facebook said it told the data firm in 2015 to delete the information it had improperly obtained on millions of users, but only publicly disclosed the issue last month when reports emerged that the company did not delete the data despite being told to do so. The FTC is currently investigating Facebook for possibly violating a 2011 consent decree by allowing Cambridge Analytica to access the data. When asked by Nelson whether he thought Facebook had an "ethical obligation" to notify users whose data had been accessed, Zuckerberg reiterated that the company considered it a "closed case" in 2015. "We considered it a closed case," Zuckerberg said. "In retrospect, that was a mistake."   --FACEBOOK COOPERATING WITH MUELLER PROBE: Zuckerberg told Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) that special counsel Robert Mueller has interviewed Facebook employees as part of his investigation into Russian interference. The Facebook CEO also said he "believes" the company may have been served with a subpoena from the special counsel's office. Facebook previously acknowledged that the company handed over information to Mueller on political advertisements purchased by Russia-linked accounts, but there have been few public details of the extent of the social media giant's cooperation in the investigation. "I want to be careful here because our work with the special counsel is confidential," Zuckerberg said Tuesday. "I know that we are working with them."   --ZUCKERBERG DECLINES TO BACK DEM PRIVACY BILL: Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) was not able to pin down Zuckerberg's support for his new privacy legislation that would require internet services to get express consent from users before sharing their information. Though Markey repeatedly tried to frame his inquiry as a yes or no question, Zuckerberg evaded the questioning, only going so far as to say that he liked the concept of increased privacy controls but declining to say whether such standards should be required by law. "Senator, in general I think that principle is exactly right, and I think we should have a discussion about how to best codify that," the Facebook CEO said. Markey grew increasingly frustrated as Zuckerberg gave similar answers about legislation that would offer tougher privacy protections for children online. Key takeaway: Zuckerberg's answers are notable because protections similar to what Markey is proposing will soon be required under EU law. The new regulations, set to go into effect next month, will only apply to European countries, but the CEO has said that Facebook will offer new privacy controls to all of its users.   Check out our live coverage from the hearing, which is still ongoing here.   Zuckerberg is slated to testify before the House Energy and Commerce Committee on Wednesday morning. You can keep up with our coverage tomorrow at TheHill.com     A CAPITOL HILL UPDATE: A group of top House Democrats is appealing to Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) for help in obtaining records from the Trump administration related to the Russian attacks against 21 state election systems in 2016. The six Democrats, who serve as ranking members of congressional committees, say they are trying to recruit Ryan's help because they've exhausted all their other options. "Our goal is to obtain the documents collected and prepared by our federal agencies about these Russian attacks in order to take concrete steps to prevent them from happening again," they wrote in a letter to Ryan on Tuesday. "Unfortunately we are being blocked by Trump Administration officials who refuse to produce these documents to Congress and by Republican Chairmen who refuse to demand them. These actions create the unfortunate perception that House Republicans do not want to obtain these documents relating to the Russian attacks against state election systems," they added. A top Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official revealed during an appearance on Capitol Hill in June that Russia had targeted election-related systems in 21 states leading up to the 2016 presidential election, while declining to identify which states were impacted for confidentiality purposes. DHS has repeatedly said there is no evidence that any votes were changed. In January, the Democrats recounted in their letter how they pressed DHS for specific information about the affected 21 states, including "the names of the state officials or offices that were notified." The Democrats additionally describe their multiple attempts to wrestle the documents from DHS, saying the law enforcement agency repeatedly produced unsatisfactory responses to their requests. "To our knowledge, the Trump Administration has not provided any Committee in the House of Representatives with these classified documents about Russian-backed attacks against state election systems," they wrote.

According to the report, ransomware remains the most popular form of malware, showing up in 39 percent of cases analyzed by Verizon. Gabe Bassett, who co-authored the latest iteration of Verizon's breach report, told The Hill that attackers are looking for the "greatest value proposition" when selecting their attack mechanisms and victims. He noted that ransomware attacks are easy to accomplish because would-be hackers can purchase ransomware kits on the dark web. The report draws on analysis of over 53,000 cyber incidents, including 2,216 confirmed data breaches, across a number of sectors, including health care, financial services, education, manufacturing, and government. Among the more interesting findings: Roughly three-quarters of the breaches analyzed by Verizon researchers were perpetrated by outsiders--50 percent attributed to criminal groups and 12 percent to nation-state hackers. The remaining 28 percent of incidents were insider attacks. Additionally, a whopping 68 percent of breaches reviewed took months or longer to detect.

THE SPOTLIGHT:  TOM BOSSERT, President Trump's top homeland security aide is resigning, the latest in a long line of staffers to exit the West Wing. "The president is grateful for Tom's commitment to the safety and security of our great country," White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said in a statement. "President Trump thanks him for his patriotic service and wishes him well," she added. Bossert has served in the White House since Trump's inauguration and played a key role in responding to cyber threats and last year's hurricanes that devastated Texas, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. His departure comes one day after John Bolton took over as national security adviser, a move that was expected to cause turnover on Trump's security team. The 43-year-old aide is close to chief of staff John Kelly and Bolton's predecessor, H.R. McMaster. National Security Council spokesman Michael Anton announced his resignation two days before Bossert quit. A veteran of the George W. Bush administration, Bossert was one of the few Trump aides to have previous White House experience. Trump turned to Bossert in times of crisis, dispatching him to the White House briefing room and Sunday political talk shows to detail the administration's relief efforts during last summer's storms. Bossert's resignation is likely to have a significant impact on the Trump administration's cybersecurity efforts. Bossert played a major role in the crafting of Trump's cybersecurity executive order last year, and he has been a main point of contact at the White House for cybersecurity officials at the Department of Homeland Security. And it was Bossert who, from the White House podium, publicly blamed North Korea last December for the massive "Wanna Cry" malware attack that ravaged computer systems worldwide. In a statement Tuesday, Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen specifically recognized Bossert for his work on cybersecurity and disaster response. "We at DHS thank him for his partnership and service and wish him the best as he takes new steps in his career," Nielsen said.

Overnight Health Care: Trump appointee at center of fight over religious freedom | HHS official placed on leave over Pizzagate comments | Four opioid hearings set for Wednesday | Planned Parenthood targets judicial nominee

View in your browser     Happy Tuesday and welcome to Overnight Health Care from Washington, where Mark Zuckerberg is probably peering from every television. (Four hours in and many more to go...)   In today's health care news...   Trump appointee at center of fight over religious freedom The Hill sat down with Roger Severino, the HHS official at the center of a battle between religious freedom and the rights of LGBT patients. Under his watch, the Office for Civil Rights at HHS is emphasizing the religious and moral rights of health care professionals by making it easier for them to opt out of procedures that may violate their beliefs. Democrats argue that these changes will essentially give health providers a license to discriminate against gay and transgender patients seeking treatment. Severino didn't deny that the changes would let health professionals opt out of procedures like gender reassignment surgery for transgender patients, but noted that his office was still reviewing public comments. "We can't prejudge until we consider all the public comments and come to conclusions," he said. He added: "The proposed regulation mentioned abortion or assisted suicide -- I think it was nearly 200 times. It mentioned LGBT issues a grand total of zero times."   Looking ahead: The comment period on the rule in question ended earlier this month. We're watching to see whether a final rule will clarify what kinds of procedures can be opted out of on moral or religious grounds. The proposed rule only specifically mentions three: abortion, assisted suicide and sterilization.     The bigger picture: The changes at OCR represent the latest attempt from the administration to elevate the issue of religious freedom. Last year, it announced broader exemptions to ObamaCare's contraception mandate for employers with moral or religious objections to provide birth control to their employees. Read more here.     Abstinence education advocate moves up at HHS Valerie Huber, a prominent abstinence education advocate at HHS, has been promoted, an HHS official confirmed Tuesday. Huber will now be the senior policy adviser to the assistant secretary of health, which oversees the 12 core public health offices. She was previously the chief of staff in the office. Huber is also the acting deputy assistant secretary for population affairs, which oversees the Title X family planning program and will continue in that role until a replacement is named, an HHS official said.   If you're following the opioid epidemic closely, we hope you have the ability to be in many places at once tomorrow. There are four different hearings on the opioid epidemic before four different committees.   Senate Health Committee, 10 a.m.: The panel will convene to talk about a discussion draft of a bipartisan opioid bill its leaders released last week. House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, 10 a.m.: On the agenda is a discussion covering local responses and resources to curb the opioid epidemic. House Energy and Commerce Committee, 2:15 p.m.: The panel will kick off the first day of a two-day hearing on a slew of bills focused on coverage and payment issues for treatment. Senate Judiciary Subcommittee, 2:30 p.m.: Lawmakers will discuss fentanyl's role in the opioid crisis. FYI: Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is up to 50 times more powerful than heroin and was a major driver of the increase in death rates from 2015 to 2016.   Also tomorrow, Francis Collins, the director of the National Institutes of Health, will testify in the House on the 2019 budget request. NIH would see a slight funding bump under the proposal, which is welcomed by public health advocates following last year's request for a 22 percent cut. Hearing is with the Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, 10 a.m. in Rayburn 2358-C.   An HHS official was placed on administrative leave after comments she made promoting the "Pizzagate" conspiracy theory were made public. According to videos and tweets first uncovered by Media Matters, Ximena Barreto, a deputy director of communications at HHS, repeatedly pushed false claims about the nonexistent pedophilia ring run out of a Washington, D.C. pizzeria, as well as made disparaging comments about African-Americans and Muslims.   Examples: November 2016, on Twitter: She tweeted that efforts by Hillary Clinton supporters to start an election recount were "a hoax so we get distracted from #Pizzagate." Also that month, on Periscope: "Don't listen to the recount and relax. We've got to use all of our efforts into Pizzagate and not let that one die because that's what the mainstream media is trying to get distracted from. So check all the Pizzagate stuff," Barreto said in the video.   Barreto was hired in December and an HHS official confirmed to The Hill that she'd been placed on leave "while the matter is reviewed." Read more here.   Planned Parenthood targets judicial nominee over abortion comments Wendy Vitter, President Trump's judicial nominee for the eastern Louisiana U.S. District Court, is being painted by Planned Parenthood as an anti-abortion extremist who should not be confirmed. In a five-figure digital ad campaign running nationally on Facebook and Twitter, Planned Parenthood is urging supporters to tell their senators to vote against her confirmation. "Wendy Vitter advocates for an extreme, anti-abortion agenda, making her unfit for a lifetime seat on the federal bench. We must stop her nomination!" reads a Facebook ad posted by the Planned Parenthood Action Fund.
