JUST IN: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sent a letter to President Trump saying effectively the State of the Union is off until the government shutdown is over.
The letter read: ”I am writing to inform you that the House of Representatives will not consider a concurrent resolution authorizing the President’s State of the Union address in the House Chamber until government has opened.”

JUST IN: Democratic leaders emerged from the White House moments ago after meeting with President Trump and their Republican congressional counterparts on the ongoing stalemate over funding that has resulted in a two-week old partial government shutdown.

No deal was reached.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said they have agreed to continue conversations, and she and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said they urged the president to re-open the government while discussions continue. npr.org/2019/01/04/682…
Schumer said Trump rejected that and was prepared to keep the government closed for a “very long period of time,” “months” or “even years." npr.org/2019/01/04/682…

JUST IN: House and Senate negotiators have reached an agreement on legislation that overhauls the system for handling accusations of sexual misconduct against members of Congress.

The bill bars lawmakers from using taxpayer money to settle sexual harassment cases.
Senate Rules Committee Chairman Roy Blunt says the Senate plans to approve the bill this week, possibly with unanimous support. The House could vote soon after in an effort to send the bill for President Trump’s signature before the end of the year.
The new rules would hold members personally responsible for harassment and retaliation in cases where a court finds in favor of an accuser, or if a member reaches a settlement.

💣Mole?💣

GCHQ alerted US agencies after becoming aware of TeamTrump’s contacts w/ RUs in 2015

NSA:”By mid-July 2016, ‘We knew we had a RU agent on our hands,’”

Comey in NZ in March 2016, & Queensland in April 2017 to meet with AU intel Chiefs & FVEYs respectively. #PineGap
20C:

“The FBI had a highly important intel source in or near the Trump campaign. The FBI had a mole.

Protecting that source was deemed more important in the summer of 2016 than stopping the Trump campaign, which the FBI knew or at least strongly suspected was in bed with Putin”
20C:

“But what if the mole wasn’t a person?

The FBI has long protected super-secret technical intelligence programs, above all signals intelligence, by masquerading their information as coming from (non-existent) human sources.”

U.S. President Donald Trump has accepted the resignation of Nikki Haley as UN Ambassador.

My gut tells me an even bigger story will develop.

Rest assured #Iran's regime is terrified about who Trump/Pompeo will appoint as their new envoy.

#BREAKING: The House Intelligence Committee has released its final — yet woefully incomplete — report on Russian interference.

docs.house.gov/meetings/IG/IG…
This is an actual excerpt from the House Intelligence Committee's final report.

So.. I thought the Trump transition team denied reports that they tried to establish a backchannel? Yet, House intel cmte is citing those efforts to refute the idea of collusion during the campaign.
Also, efforts to establish a backchannel during the transition period don't preclude 'collusion' during the campaign. It's not at all unlikely that these efforts reflect greater awareness on the part of Trump & co that their comms w/ Russian officials were under scrutiny.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

President and Mrs. Trump are dining at the Trump Hotel DC right now.
It’s a 7:41 drive from the White House to the Trump Hotel DC (with a motorcade; slower for you).
