    Scooplet: A Senior Admin official confirms to me that the wording that has appeared on @POTUS's schedule lately: "President Trump will work from early in the morning until late in the evening. He will make many calls and have many meetings" was written by Mr. Trump himself

    I spoke with Dr. Birx this morning who has been traveling around the country as a part of the admin's #COVID19 response. She went to 42 states total. POTUS is supposed to get an Operation Warp Speed update today - she told me she doesn't know yet if she'll be in that meeting.

    A White House official tells me Barr was not forced out nor did the President ask for the AG's resignation. But less than two weeks ago Pres. Trump was asked about his confidence in AG Barr: "Uh, ask me that in a number of weeks from now."
    BREAKING: President Trump has just announced via tweet that Attorney General William Barr is leaving the White House. This came just minutes after California’s electors sealed a win for PEOTUS Joe Biden.

    Masks off? Today the President will tour this Ypsilanti @Ford factory that is now making ventilators and PPE. Earlier today these statues at the entrance were wearing masks. Ford personnel took the masks off ahead of the visit. No word on if Potus will wear a mask inside.
