Stephanopoulos: Did you know what Giuliani was doing? Pompeo: I don’t talk about internal deliberations inside the administration. (Giuliani does not work in the administration)

Trump's remarks in the Cabinet room are a stream of exaggerations, boasts and falsehoods.... For example, in his remarks about Doral: "Miami International, one of the biggest airports in the world. Some people say it's the biggest." (MIA is not even in the top 20)

The Dow just crossed 10 percent in losses for 2018. Friendly reminder that Treasury Secretary Mnuchin said last year that markets would "go up higher" if the tax bill passed, and would tank if the bill didn't pass. The opposite happened.
Treasury secretary: Pass a tax bill or markets will tank

Where we are: Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) was asked on Fox News whether Russia or Ukraine was responsible for hacking DNC and Clinton campaign emails in 2016. “I don’t know,” he said, adding that it could’ve been Ukraine. (The US intel community has concluded it was Russia.)

Mark Meadows on CNN: “We are not going to get control of the pandemic.” Says we will instead try to get therapeutics and vaccines rather than trying to control the spread.

Sen. Kelly Loeffler on Fox News says she does not support a mask mandate, arguing that she’s been flying a lot on Delta flights and everyone is wearing masks even without a government mandate. Delta requires all passengers flying on their planes to wear masks.

Some personal news, folks: I’m running... over to the Washington Post to cover the White House and then the 2020 campaign. Looking forward to joining an insanely talented team. Many thanks to my awesome colleagues at Bloomberg, who have made the past five years a true pleasure.
