#BREAKING The House has voted 327-85 to approve the 2021 gov't spending bill. The Covid relief bill is up next in the House.
@CourthouseNews
The reason this legislation is split into two, for those wondering, is because it makes it a lot harder for lawmakers to unravel the whole thing in one fell swoop.
#BREAKING The House has voted 359-53 to approve the $900B Covid relief bill. Next stop: The Senate.
@CourthouseNews
You can watch the activity on the Senate floor happening now, right here: c-span.org/video/?507477-…
STORY: The next stop is the Senate after the House voted tonight to approve a $900B coronavirus stimulus package, featuring direct payments to most Americans and more funding for state and local governments.

The unanimous consent request from Dems to vote on increasing direct payments to $2k failed on the House floor because GOP House Leader Kevin McCarthy needs to consent and he does not.
@CourthouseNews
.@DebDingell during the presser with Leader Hoyer lets loose and says of outgoing President Trump that he "doesn’t give a damn about people."
"He sowed more fear. He threw kerosene on a fire."
@CourthouseNews
"Republicans blocked it, not Democrats," Dingell says of the push to increase stimulus checks from $600 to $2,000. "I’m merely to here to say on Christmas Eve we will come back on Monday."

The man who helped run a shadow campaign for Ukraine's former president to jail that president's opponent is grateful for his pardon for tax crimes and bank fraud:
Prosecutor Greg Andres to jurors: “If you have any doubt that he’s guilty of bank fraud or conspiracy to commit bank fraud at the Federal Savings Bank, then all you need to remember is that he sent a fake profit and loss sheet to Federal Savings Bank.”

NEW: Subpoenas have been issued to CDC director Redfield and Health Secy Alex Azar from the @COVIDOversight Committee, citing concern over the Trump admin's political interference in over a dozen public health reports on Covid-19.
@CourthouseNews
Chairman of the special oversight committee @WhipClyburn has given @CDCDirector and @SecAzar until Dec. 30 to produce all requested documents - unredacted.
From Clyburn: "Documents show that HHS officials also attempted to muzzle CDC scientists by retaliating against career employees who provided truthful information to the public & targeting CDC staff w/what one employee described as a “pattern of hostile and threatening behavior."

Now: Incoming White House Senior Advisor and Director of the Office of Public Engagement @RepRichmond has tested positive for Covid-19.
@CourthouseNews
According to Biden transition spokeswoman Kate Bedingfield, the interactions Richmond had with @JoeBiden happened "in open air, were masked and totaled less than 15 consecutive minutes, the @CDCgov timeframe for close contact.
@CourthouseNews
The difference in transparency here is really something.
Per Bedingfield:
Richmond's symptoms cropped up on Dec. 16, he took a rapid test that came back positive.
The Biden team's standard protocol after an initial positive test is to take a PCR, which he did on Thursday.

#BREAKING: The FDA advisory board has voted to authorize the Moderna Covid-19 vaccine for emergency use. More on this in my report soon for @CourthouseNews.
To be super clear on this because the language is subtle and easily confused - and something that came up during today's hearing - This is the advisory panel that has agreed to emergency use approval, the final approval comes from the FDA and that is expected over the weekend.
DEVELOPING.
A second Covid-19 vaccine was recommended for emergency use by advisers to the Food and Drug Administration on Thursday, meaning distribution nationwide could start as soon as next week.
