If Donald Trump thought he could end this week with a high note at the G20 summit, Robert Mueller's investigation certainly scuttled those plans.
Hours before Trump boarded his plane to Argentina, a bombshell landed in Trumpworld with the news Michael Cohen had pleaded guilty to lying to Congress about -- and a sign Cohen is talking Trump's business deals with Mueller -- a previously stated "red line" for Trump.
He also defended his actions on the campaign trail: "Even if he was right, it doesn't matter, because I was allowed to do whatever I wanted during the campaign."
The way Democrats voted in 2018 says a lot about who the strongest contenders are for the 2020 presidential nomination. Chris explains.
ALASKA QUAKE
A 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit near Anchorage, Alaska, earlier today, sending buildings rocking, streets crumbling and residents running for cover and knocking out cell phone reception.
Chris loves Christmas music and Lauren loves Vampire Weekend ... so we'll continue this week's Christmas music theme with Vampire Weekend's not-techically-a-Christmas-song "Holiday."
INSTA POINT
Today's topic: 2018 is the election year that never ends.
WEDDING BELLS ON THE HILL
One congressman apparently loves his job so much he got married there.
The couple publicly announced their engagement in October, a few weeks before Newhouse won his reelection bid for Washington's 4th Congressional District.
PROFANE POLS
Politicians are apparently using more foul language, and CNN's Hunter Schwarz has the data to prove it.
"The rate at which politicians in Congress and state legislatures use expletives on social media has risen dramatically, according to data from GovPredict, an analytics firm.
In 2014, the firm tracked 83 instances of lawmakers using profane words. Over the next two years, usage rose slowly, but in 2017 -- the year President Donald Trump took office -- it exploded, with 1,571 instances. So far this year there have been 2,409 instances."
