- The Washington Post published a story about two of the undocumented immigrants Trump employed at his properties. While it touches on the large number of undocumented immigrants he has employed, this is a more personal story. I highly advise reading it.
- A large number of edits were made to the Washington Examiner Wikipedia entry to make it appear less biased and to remove sections pointing out some of the conspiracy theories they have written about were baseless. This would not be notable except the edits came from the White House.
- Trump frequently makes phone calls to foreign leaders using a personal cell phone instead of the hardened White House lines. Trump tried to deny this on Twitter but seemed to think the accusation was the was using a cell phone he owned rather than a government phone. The issue is using a cell phone at all. Per The Washington Post, he began using his cell phone more so as to avoid logs of who he was speaking to.
- White House Counsel sent a letter to Jerry Nadler saying they will not participate in the impeachment process because it is unfair. They have previously said the process was unfair because they were not invited to participate. Now they have been and they’re still refusing.
- Adam Schiff is requesting the declassification of part of Jennifer Williams’s testimony. Ms. Williams is an aide to Mike Pence. The testimony concerns a phone call between Pence and Ukrainian president Zelensky.
- Devin Nunes wants to subpoena six news organizations in his defamation suit against CNN, despite several of them not reporting on the material at all. Nunes’s defamation suits, including one against an imaginary cow, are now asking for roughly one billion dollars in total.
- In a rambling White House session, the president says he wants the EPA investigating areas with low water pressure where people have to flush toilets 10-15 times. He blames the issue on poor rainwater management. Needless to say, this is not what the EPA does.
