0:00.0	Hey there from CNN. I'm Krista Bow with The Five Things You Need to know for Monday, November 18th.
0:07.3	The House Ethics Committee is expected to meet on Wednesday, as the panel weighs whether to release its final report on Matt Gates.
0:14.5	That's what two sources tell CNN, adding the meeting could get canceled. Gates resigned from Congress last week when President
0:21.5	elect Donald Trump picked him to be as attorney general. Some senators want to see the report
0:26.4	before the confirmation hearings start. CNN's Paula Reid explains what evidence the House Ethics
0:31.6	Committee has access to. We've learned that investigators have spoken with several of the same
0:35.9	witnesses who were interviewed as part of the sprawling federal criminal investigation against the congressman,
0:41.4	including the witness who was just 17 years old when Gates allegedly had sex with her, and Gates's ex-girlfriend, who is a key witness in the federal probe.

1:19.9	Yeah, Krista, Donald Trump is already casting a shadow over this week's summit, and his influence
1:24.8	is causing some behind-the-scenes drama.
1:27.2	One of its top global allies, the president of Argentina, is throwing up roadblocks as the
1:32.0	leaders work to draft a final statement.
1:34.3	Diplomats here have interpreted the move as an attempt to curry favor with Trump before
1:39.1	he enters office.
1:40.3	Of course, President Biden is here too, working to strengthen alliances and burnish's legacy,
1:45.0	but it's clear his counterparts are already looking past him and trying to ascertain what the next four years might hold.
