A Monumental Week for Trump

Playbook: “We are beginning what is a pivotal week for Donald Trump and his presidency. Most notably: the public impeachment proceedings, which begin Wednesday and continue Friday. On Tuesday, we expect the release of a second transcript of a phone call between the president and Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskiy.”

“Also: The president of Turkey — a country some in the Trump administration said was responsible for war crimes — will come to the White House and appear alongside the president for a news conference. Talks resume this week to avoid a government shutdown in 10 days. And if the administration is to complete the USMCA, progress needs to be made in short order.”
