Summary
Donald Trump makes a very weak deal offer to Democrats to re-open the government. Democrats will not take the deal. It's a pathetic attempt to save face and Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer won't fall for it.
In a few weeks, Michael Cohen will testify before Congress and tell them about his dealings with Donald Trump. Will he confirm the Buzzfeed story that says Trump directed Cohen to lie under oath? We'll find out soon.
Plus, a new Democratic entrant into the 2020 race!
We talk to Niels Lesnewski from Roll Call, Graham Vyse from Governing Magazine and Leah Askarinam from Inside Elections
