Federal Bureau of Investigation Deputy Director Andrew McCabe (C) is escorted by U.S. Capitol Police before a meeting with members of the Oversight and Government Reform and Judiciary committees in the Rayburn House Office Building December 21, 2017 in Washington, DC. McCabe testified before the House Intelligence Committee for ten hours on Tuesday.

President Donald Trump says he’s game for a conversation, under oath, with special counsel Robert Mueller. But will Trump’s lawyers let him talk?

And what was the president’s point in asking acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe about who he voted for in 2016?

Plus, the federal government is back to business after a short shutdown, but it’s only funded through early February so … could we face another shutdown in the very near future?
