Donald Trump's indictments dominate the GOP presidential primary, making it a referendum on him.

The PGA Tour's preliminary deal with the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund to reunite with LIV Golf is under investigation by the Senate, Justice Department, and Senate Finance Committee for antitrust concerns.
