The White House is standing by Trump's calling of a reporter "piggy." A White House officials tells @MSNOWNews: "This reporter behaved in an inappropriate and unprofessional way towards her colleagues on the plane. If you’re going to give it, you have to be able to take."

Senate leadership was able to stave off calls to end the filibuster during the shutdown, but that could change after the midterms.

Reminder: Virginia Giuffre did not allege wrongdoing by Trump. In depositions, Giuffre noted working at Mar-a-Lago for 2/3 weeks in summer of 2000 before Ghislaine Maxwell introduced herself and — after that — was not aware of him having sex with “the girls.” W/ @JulesJester:

Notable: The SDFL official who signed at least some of the subpoenas is the Executive Assistant U.S. Attorney (#3 in office). It is not ordinary for member of leadership to sign off on subpoenas instead of line prosecutors assigned to an investigation.
