Two Democratic senators are worried that President Donald Trump's use of an unencrypted phone could pose a national security risk.

In a letter sent last week to the Secretary of Defense Senators Tom Carter and Claire McCaskill wrote that such a device could be vulnerable to hacking and endanger the preservation of presidential records.
Disney has dropped Swedish YouTuber Felix Kjellberg from its Maker Studio after he posted several anti-Semitic videos to his channel.
The video from January now deleted Kellberg was shown laughing as two men held up a banner that read death to all Jews.
Kellberg's YouTube channel is a multi-million dollar business with more than 53 million subscribers.
A new reality TV show, Planet of the Apps, is coming to the Apple Music streaming app in the spring.
