Funding bill. We begin with john roberts live at the white house. Hi, john. Good morning, to you. The president is expected to leave the white house in about an hour headed for his christmas vacation at maralago. Yesterday we were told the president may have a full blown press Conference Today but that wouldnt leave a lot of time between now and his departure for the press to get together and ask questions of the president. Im told that he may stop and talk to the press on his way to the helicopter but likely we may not even hear from the president this morning. Tell you whats on his agenda for today, though.

After investigating for nearly a year, the Washington Post is reporting that President Trump is not a target of special counsel Robert Muellers probe. That means that after all this time, mueller and his entire team of lawyers have still not gathered enough evidence for trump to become a target. Thats huge news. Well ignore the absurdity of the rnc news from an organization the republican president labels as fake and propaganda, after all, this is a news story the president can use to try to claim something hes been claiming all along.
