NEW:

Dems may broaden their inquiry into articles of impeachment to include info on Trump's finances they get from Deutsche Bank, @RepRaskin tells me.

That could determine whether Trump laundered money or was subject to foreign influence.

@RepRaskin Here's the core problem for Dems.

Dem leaders still appear dug in against any full House vote on articles of impeachment.

But as Judiciary Dems broaden their inquiry into Trump's blatant corruption, the case for that vote will grow more irresistible:

washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
@RepRaskin Also important:

@RepRaskin tells me that Dems will hold hearings on Trump's self-dealing and emoluments violations.

Raskin wants a full House vote to condemn Trump's self-dealing, to try to force the issue to a head:

Amazing.

Republicans are now accusing party officials of withholding internal data about Trump *from Republican candidates,* out of fear they'll distance from him.

That's from a new @propublica
report. I reported some more on this.

My new piece:

@propublica RNC is withholding data about Trump from down-ballot candidates, fearing they'll distance from him, @propublica reports.

I talked to former DCCC head Dan Sena what this means. He was brutal, describing it as "malpractice" that has to be "intentional."

beta.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
@propublica Another awful example of Trump's war on information:

Trump is using data that Mexican officials gave him to sate his rage, to paint a misleading picture of the border.

The key, though, is that he's using it to supplant data from *his own government*:

Call it Trump's Law.

The more Trump fears he's slipping on the economy, the louder he'll crank up the dial on his hate.

The new Post poll finds Trump is cratering among independents and educated whites, especially on the economy and trade.

Trump is frantically trying to salvage NC-9. He won it by 11 points.

@BowTiePolitics, an NC politics expert, tells me Trump has so badly alienated moderates that he needs to madly pump the base just to get over the top even in a very pro-Trump district:

washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
@BowTiePolitics A question:

If Trump were really presiding over the greatest economy in US history, and if he were really crushing China into abject submission, then why would he need to launch such a frantic effort to get out the base to salvage a Trump +11 district?

Trump doctored a weather chart and ordered a rear admiral to release a statement backing up his falsehoods.

The NOAA also jumped to Trump's defense, and the White House won't say if they engineered it.

By my count, something like this has happened at least 7 times.

*THREAD*
Again and again, government officials have wheeled into action in an effort to make Trump’s lies, errors and obsessions into truths, in some cases issuing “official” information explicitly shaped or doctored to do so.

I will tweet out 7 examples.

1) Multiple White House and administration officials issued official statements or were sent to hunt for evidence to prop up Trump's lies about his paltry inaugural crowd size:

@wdunlap “Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, #Trump dismissed his past appearances with #Epstein …Epstein’s personal little black book, leaked by an employee in 2009, contained 14 phone numbers for Trump, his wife, Melania, and several people who worked for him.”
