Good Friday morning. I'm Jake Sherman and welcome to your political playbook audio briefing, sponsored by Chevron.

0:06.9

And I'm Anna Palmer. We're kicking off this Friday with an interesting spotted.

0:11.1

Gary Cohn was seen having dinner last night with Reince Prebis in a booth at the back of Capitol Grill.

0:16.7

The sexual harassment fallout is hitting Capitol Hill.

0:19.2

Rachel Bade and Alana Shore have a piece up about how two women lawmakers and several congressional staffers are calling for an overhaul of Capitol Hill's policies on sexual harassment, citing a workplace long known as a boys club.

that at this point. Darren Samuelson is reporting that Republicans are looking for a fight over special prosecutor Robert Mueller's pro-budget.

1:50.4

Well, Senator Bob Corker says that the Trump administration is set to begin implementing new Russia sanctions
