This is AP News. I'm Rita Falle. Special counsel Robert Hur is testifying before Congress this morning and the AP has a transcript of what the president told him over five hours of interviews that he never meant to keep classified information after he left the vice presidency. But he was at times fuzzy about dates and said he was unfamiliar with the paper trail for some of the sensitive documents he handled. Speaking with reporters last month, the president said he took issue with the special counsel claiming that his memory was faulty. My memory is fine. My memory, take a look at what I've done since I become president. None of you thought I could pass any of the things I got passed. How'd that happen? You know, I guess I just forgot what was going on. Now to troubled Haiti. There's word this morning that Haiti's Prime Minister Arielle Henri will resign as violent gangs ravage Haiti.

Airbnb is banning the use of indoor security cameras in its listings worldwide. The AP is Lisa Dwyer with this story. Airbnb says it's making the change to simplify its security camera policy while prioritizing privacy. Under the new policy, hosts will still be allowed to use doorbell cameras and noise decibel monitors, which are only allowed in common spaces. As long as the location and presence of the devices are disclosed, Airbnb says it expects the new policy to only impact a small number of hosts. The majority of their listings do not report having indoor security cameras. The policy change will take effect April 30th. I'm Lisa Dwyer.
