One word succinctly describes what's transpired so far in the NCAA Tournament: Madness. But even that's probably underselling it. A comeback for the ages by Nevada. An entire region left without a Top 4 seed in the Sweet 16 for the first time in tourney history.

President Donald Trump kept up his attack on the escalating Russia investigation, insisting in a new tweet Monday that it was 'a total WITCH HUNT with massive conflicts of interest!' The comment came a day after a top White House lawyer tried to calm speculation that the president was considering firing the special counsel leading the probe.

Fear escalated across Austin on Monday after the fourth bombing this month — this time, a blast that was triggered by a tripwire and demonstrated what police said was a 'higher level of sophistication' than the package bombs used in the previous attacks.

An American college student has been reported missing in Bermuda.

Bermuda police say 19-year-old Mark Dombroski was on a rugby tour with Saint Joseph's University, of Philadelphia, when he disappeared early Sunday.

Police say he was last seen around 1 a.m. at The Dog House, a bar and restaurant in Hamilton, the island's capital. They are asking for the public's help in locating the missing teen, circulating a flyer with his photos.

The police say 'there is concern for his well-being.'

Saint Joseph's is a Roman Catholic Jesuit university. It issued a statement saying it has been in touch with the freshman's family and 'continues to pray for his safe return.'
