| 0:00.0 | Good Wednesday morning, I'm Anna Palmer, and welcome to your Politico Playbook Audio Briefing, |
| 0:06.0 | sponsored by J.P. Morgan Chase. We're kicking off this morning with Trump tweets looking a little |
| 0:10.7 | stranger than fiction. Late last night, he tweeted that, quote, FBI director Comey was the best thing |
| 0:16.9 | that ever happened to Hillary Clinton in that he gave her a free pass for many bad |
| 0:21.7 | deeds, the phony. And again, that, quote, Trump-Russia story was an excuse used by the Democrats |
| 0:28.4 | as justification for losing the election. Perhaps Trump just ran a great campaign. |
| 0:34.3 | Trump's jabs come after Hillary Clinton was all over cable news Tuesday talking about |
| 0:39.5 | why she lost, including this money quote, where she argued that if the election had been on |

| 1:24.2 | Our colleagues Josh Dawsey, Bresnahan, and Rachel Bade's scoop that the GOP are doing a last |
| 1:31.1 | minute changed to their Obamacare repeal bill drafting an amendment that would address concerns |
| 1:36.5 | from moderates about how the legislation treats pre-existing conditions. Trump is expected to get |
| 1:42.5 | personally involved in trying to sell the bill. |
| 1:45.8 | He made at least a dozen phone calls seeking support for the bill Tuesday, and Capitol |
