Vice President Mike Pence’s office Tuesday said it will not comply with a request from the House to turn over documents related to President Trump’s July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, NBC News reports.

“A federal appeals court on Tuesday revived a lawsuit claiming President Trump is illegally profiting from foreign and state government visitors at his hotel in downtown Washington,” the Washington Post reports.

“The full U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit agreed to rehear the lawsuit, brought by the attorneys general of Maryland and the District of Columbia, that was dismissed last summer by a three-judge panel of the same court. The brief order set oral argument for Dec. 12, and essentially gives the novel lawsuit testing the anti-corruption emoluments provisions of the Constitution a second chance.”

Peter Navarro, President Trump’s top trade adviser, has quoted staunch China hawk “Ron Vara” more than a dozen times in at least six of his books, the Chronicle of Higher Education reports.

However, it turns out that Ron Vara — which is an anagram of Navarro — doesn’t actually exist.

When asked about his source, Navarro declined to speak on the record, but he did send a statement in which he called Ron Vara a “whimsical device and pen name I’ve used throughout the years for opinions and purely entertainment value, not as a source of fact.”

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) was interviewed by Stephanie Ruhle on MSNBC:

PAUL: If we’re going to investigate Rudy Giuliani, then we should investigate Hunter Biden.

RUHLE: Does that mean we should investigate how Jared Kushner’s family got foreign money? Ivanka’s Chinese trademarks?

PAUL: If we want to go down the road of self-destruction, we can do that.
