Good Monday morning. I'm Anna Palmer and welcome to your Politico Playbook Flash Briefing,

sponsored by the National Retail Federation. I'm Jake Sherman. Happy Martin Luther King Jr.

Day and welcome to inauguration week. There are just five days until Trump assumes the presidency.

He's expected to meet with Martin Luther King III today in New York. Trump gave a few interviews

over the last couple days, and in one revealing

interview with our friend Bob Cost at the Washington Post, he declared that Republicans will have a

plan to replace Obamacare that will provide, quote, insurance for everybody. That's a big departure

for where congressional Republicans are. Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, has walked

some of those comments back, but it's still significant that the next president

is saying this. In a slight surprise to GOP leaders on Capitol Hill, Trump says his plan is almost

formulated. But let's be clear, if Trump released a health plan today, it would still be a while

before it comes to the House and Senate floor. We don't expect Congress to pass anything for another

month or two. The back and forth between the White House Press Corps and the Trump administration is continuing.

Jeff Mason, the president of the White House Correspondents Association, and White House Press

Secretary Sean Spicer met for nearly two hours Sunday.

Trump's team wants to move the daily briefing to a larger facility on the White House complex

to make room for more reporters.

Mason and the White House press corps oppose the move if it means reporter's workspace behind

the press briefing is moved. On CBS this morning, this morning, Sean Spicer said that the press

will still have access to the West Wing.
