- Anytime, @Yamiche. I know you would have done the same. Hard questions aren’t illegitimate questions and they shouldn’t be shut down. Let’s keep up the solidarity in the White House press corps.Thanks to @JDiamond1 for passing me the microphone & letting me ask my second question. I asked: Which health professionals are telling you that more people will die from the economic impact than coronavirus? Trump didn’t answer directly and instead just repeated his claims.
- Appears the Trump campaign’s digital director tried to give Trump his account. Twitter promptly suspended him
- Trump claims there were "tens of thousands of people on the streets" lining his motorcade route to the rally tonight. That's a lie. I was in the motorcade. There were onlookers at different points on the 45-minute drive. But not tens of thousands. Not even thousands.
- So the President is touting House victories while insisting his own election is being stolen. Elections for House & President are cast on the same ballot -- you can't claim one is rigged while saying the other is valid
- Here is Dr. Rick Bright's full statement, just emailed out by the law firm Katz, Marshall & Banks which will be representing him as he files a whistleblower complaint. (First reported by @maggieNYT)
- Confirmed by @Nationals: Trump not scheduled to throw out the first pitch if there's a Game 5 of the World Series. Instead, he'll watch @chefjoseandres -- a critic who pulled out of Trump's DC hotel -- throw the ceremonial pitch
- Trump claims “one of the reasons” the US has more cases is because the US has done more testing. The truth is the US has not done the most testing per capita.
- On a call with President Biden & First Lady Jill Biden intended for kids calling into NORAD to track Santa, a father ended the call by saying "Let's go Brandon," which is code for "F*** Joe Biden" Biden replied, "Let's go Brandon, I agree."
- Wow, the State Department is removing an NPR reporter who was set to travel w/ Pompeo to Europe & Central Asia as part of the pool. The State Department Correspondents' Association says “we can only conclude that the State Department is retaliating against” NPR. (via @jmhansler)
- NEWS: I spoke with @POTUS just outside the West Wing moments ago. “I’m just anxious to see what my Republican friends do, if they stand up,” Biden told me about the impeachment trial. He also said he doesn't plan to call any senators to talk to them about the trial & their vote
- Biden tells @jaketapper he spoke with Dr. Fauci today & asked him to stay on and also be his “chief medical adviser”
- SPOTTED tonight at the White House: attorney & conspiracy theorist Sidney Powell. @abdallahcnn & I saw her leaving the residence side of the White House shortly before 9p. She denied meeting with Trump tonight. When pressed again, she said: “It would be none of your business”
- Pretty remarkable that Biden did not get one question about the pandemic that has gripped this country for over a year
