THE LEAD STORY - A QUESTION OF CITIZENSHIP: The Trump administration announced Monday night that the 2020 census will ask respondents if they are citizens of the United States ... In a statement, the Commerce Department said the citizenship question would be added in response to a request by the Justice Department made in December. The statement said that Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross "has determined that reinstatement of a citizenship question on the 2020 decennial census questionnaire is necessary to provide complete and accurate census block level data." The announcement was expected to draw fierce protest from Democrats, who say the inclusion of such a question amounts to an effort to intimidate immigrant communities and siphon money and electoral power away from them. California already has vowed to sue the Trump administration over the census citizenship question. STORM CLOUDS OF LITIGATION: Adult film star Stormy Daniels filed a lawsuit against President Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen for defamation, Fox News has confirmed ... Daniels' suit came just hours after Cohen's attorney, Brent Blakely, sent a cease and desist letter to Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, demanding she refrain from making any further "false and defamatory" statements about Cohen following her tell-all "60 Minutes" interview Sunday evening. Cohen has denied having any involvement in Daniels' claim that a man threatened her in Las Vegas in 2011, warning her to "leave Trump alone." But the complaint said Cohen's denial represented a defamatory statement against Daniels. TRUMP EXPELS 60 DIPLOMATS -- AND RUSSIA VOWS REVENGE: The Russian ambassador to the United Nations said Monday that relations between Moscow and Washington had deteriorated to the point of crisis after the U.S. and other western nations expelled dozens of Russia diplomats they accused of being spies ... Vassily Nebenzia spoke briefly to reporters outside a diplomatic luncheon in New York hours after President Trump ordered 60 Russian diplomats out of the U.S. and closed down the Russian consulate in Seattle. When one reporter asked whether U.S.-Russia relations were in crisis, Nebenzia said: "It's been [in crisis for] some time already. Didn't you notice?" FOX NEWS EXCLUSIVE - A STORY OF CAPTIVITY AND ALLEGED 'BETRAYAL': After he escaped from Al Qaeda in Syria, American photojournalist Matt Schrier investigated his own kidnapping and uncovered what he describes as a pattern of "betrayal" by FBI agents handling his case. Schrier is now asking hard questions of former FBI Director Robert Mueller, who now leads the special counsel Russia probe, and former FBI Director James Comey, who was fired by President Trump in May 2017 ... In an exclusive cable interview that first aired Monday on "The Story" with Martha MacCallum, Schrier went in depth, sharing emails, financial records and formal letters of complaint, which backed up allegations that after he was taken hostage in 2012, the FBI monitored his accounts as Al Qaeda terrorists used his money to buy at least a dozen computers and tablets. While he was tortured and held by A brutal Al Qaeda franchise in Syria, Schrier claimed the FBI put intelligence gathering ahead of his personal security, hoping to track the computers and tablets to learn more about recruits and future plots. WALL STREET VOLATILE AMID TRADE WAR CONCERNS: The Dow recorded its biggest one-day point gain since 2008 on Monday, as reports of trade talks between the U.S. and China reduced fears of a possible trade war ... The Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 669.40 points, or 2.84 percent, to 24,202.60 at the close. The Nasdaq Composite rose 227.88, or 3.26 percent, to 7,220.54, while the S&P 500 Index gained 70.29, or 2.72 percent, to 2,658.55. The rally followed the worst week for equities in more than two years, driven in part by investors' concerns about U.S. tariffs targeting China. SUPERHEROES AND SUPER SHANNON TO THE RESCUE: A boy with cancer will receive several video greetings from his favorite on-screen superheroes after several stars of Marvel's "Avengers" rallied to fulfill the 11-year-old's dying wish ... "Fox News @ Night" host Shannon Bream took to Twitter to ask for help Sunday after she met a man during a flight who spoke about his nephew Emilio with cancer. The uncle said the boy was very sick and only had a few days left to live. The boy's uncle later reached out to Bream, saying his nephew was a huge fan of the "Avengers." He asked if it would be possible to have an actor who plays one of the superheroes to send him a video. Bream happily said yes, tweeting Sunday night: "Need your help Twitterverse - trying to help a young boy who is dying. He probably has just days and all he want is a greeting from one of the Avengers. If you have a celeb connection, please let me know. Otherwise, could you help out with a RT? Thank you in advance!" Within a few hours, Chris Evans, who plays Captain America, and Paul Bettany, who takes on the role of Vision, offered to help. Ryan Reynolds, who plays Deadpool, also chimed in, saying he would send a message as a "reserve Avenger." __________________________ Consider yourself an Influencer?
