We've also confirmed that this was for a previously scheduled meeting. Trump isn't at the White House right now, per pool report he boarded Air Force One in NY at 10:53 am
Meanwhile, a few blocks away from the Senate: DAG Rod Rosenstein is back at DOJ following his previously scheduled meeting this morning at the White House. Still no official word on whether he and Trump will be meeting later today
The Rosenstein/Trump meeting isn't happening today — per pool report, from Sarah Sanders: "The President spoke with Rod Rosenstein a few minutes ago and they plan to meet next week. They do not want to do anything to interfere with the hearing."

NEW: The federal judiciary now expects to have enough money from other sources to keep the courts largely business-as-usual during the shutdown through Jan. 18 (previously it was Jan. 11) — this is the latest from the Administrative Office of the US Courts (HT @hsu_spencer)
In order to make the funds that the judiciary does have (absent a congressional appropriation) last as long as possible, "courts have been asked to delay or defer non-mission critical expenses, such as new hires, non-case related travel, and certain contracts"
DOJ, of course, is already affected by the shutdown, so most judges have been approving requests or issuing blanket orders to delay civil litigation involving the federal govt during the shutodwn (criminal cases still have to proceed as usual)

Some fireworks in court this morning as a judge criticized the lawyer representing Concord Management & Consulting in the special counsel Russian troll farm case for his language and harsh words about Mueller's office in filings — "unprofessional, inappropriate, and ineffective"
The judge told attorney Eric Dubelier that his strategy was "ineffective" and that his approach to filings — including pop culture quotes (see: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/5676…) and accusing Mueller's office basically of lawlessness — was "undermining your credibility in this courthouse"
"Knock it off," Judge Dabney Friedrich told Dubelier. This then led to a heated exchange where Dubelier said he needed to consult his client since the judge had accused of unprofessional conduct, and now there might be bias from the judge. There's no bias, the judge replied.

Remember how prosecutors accused Paul Manafort of breaching his plea deal? His lawyers are due to file a response today about that — recall that at a Dec. 11 hearing, Manafort's lawyers said they needed more time to decide if they agreed or not with the govt's claims re: lying
There's no time deadline on this filing due today from Manafort's lawyer, so it could come at any time before midnight, which is always fun
For a refresher on what prosecutors accused Manafort of lying about after he signed his plea deal and was supposed to be cooperating with the government (including allegations that he lied about contacts with Trump admin officials): buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

If Trump is attempting to find a way to rationalize the Khashoggi murder-to conscience it-then he really, truly is a Sociopath. It goes far beyond just NPD with him. And it's pathological. He's gotta go. Soon. #SaturdayMorning washingtonpost.com/world/national…
