MEANWHILE... -- "Barack Obama arrives at luxury Tuscan estate for holiday as Trump embarks on grueling foreign tour," by The Telegraph's Nick Squires http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=f4a7ecdaec2d952b0ef6562c08c0e827fbeb3c8d855f8f066a9ce3a26e3c2825ef3cdaa25c0f8f861f6f3e96e7f24d8b 

SIREN -- THE CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE announced that they will release a cost estimate for the House-passed version of the AHCA on Wednesday, May 24. 

THERE WILL BE NO OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT of a nominee for FBI director today, per our colleague Matt Nussbaum, today's pooler.

WHAT DEPUTY ATTORNEY GENERAL ROD ROSENSTEIN SAID -- The key quote from Rosenstein's remarks in closed door briefings to the Senate and House, per NBC's Pete Williams: "On May 8, I learned that President Trump intended to remove Director Comey and sought my advice and input. Notwithstanding my personal affection for Director Comey, I thought it was appropriate to seek a new leader ... I chose the issues to include in my memorandum ... I wrote it. I believe it. I stand by it." Full memo http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=f4a7ecdaec2d952b3bdd3821d81a0a9723c7f071f4140744e28d6d0a07b51df96b17c5da31adcb30091daff27d35db21 

-- "Sessions and Rosenstein discussed firing Comey last winter," by Austin Wright http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=f4a7ecdaec2d952ba7f7c2ad2658600f0412e2790cac05cde9a1a157e9cc71c722e1ac15ea27e730e2ad4445ba2e8309 

MORE LIEBERMAN PILE ON -- Multiple Playbookers sent emails after this morning's editions making note of one slight in particular that Joe Lieberman did that it appears many Democrats haven't forgotten: endorsing Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) at the Republican National Convention. "His friendship and loyalty with McCain was understood and forgiven. His address from the RNC was not," one Democrat emailed. "Many Democrats have been waiting for their shot at Joe for awhile."

-- "Lieberman pick for FBI would spell trouble for Julian Assange," by Josh Gerstein http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=f4a7ecdaec2d952b551df0a36dd3c0a5d17f46b76ff2bcc0f017c7596772ccf9e6f6675dbd8a0c8c987b5f647ebda6c8

HMM... -- "Trump attorney didn't want him to sign financial disclosure," by the AP's Julie Bykowicz: "Donald Trump's attorneys originally wanted him to submit an updated financial disclosure without certifying the information as true, according to correspondence with the Office of Government Ethics.

"Attorney Sheri Dillon said she saw no need for Trump to sign his 2016 personal financial disclosure because he is filing voluntarily this year. But OGE director Walter Shaub said his office would only work with Dillon if she agreed to follow the typical process of having Trump make the certification. That is standard practice for the thousands of financial disclosure forms OGE processes each year. The Associated Press obtained the letters under a Freedom of Information Act request." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=f4a7ecdaec2d952b97360c698ac3359e7b735449a24823f92eb6808536e45a392c142b805cb69fb5090fbac201d97804 

AP -- "The Latest: Anthony Weiner cries while apologizing in court": "Former U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner is crying in court as he apologizes to the 15-year-old girl with whom he exchanged sexually explicit texts. The judge accepted Weiner's guilty plea Friday to a charge of transmitting sexual material to a minor. He agreed to not appeal any sentence between 21 and 27 months in prison. The Democratic former congressman apologized to the 15-year-old, saying, 'I have a sickness, but I do not have an excuse.'" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=f4a7ecdaec2d952b9f6c09d2c8bc3e062fa2ee0bec8e53ec05ee6f4f6d50f29246cd7aecdc222a98882e252a986ef6c0 

VIDEO DU JOUR -- SEN. AL FRANKEN (D-Minn.) has a trailer for his new book "Al Franken, Giant of the Senate" that's worth the click, just for the chuckles. http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=f4a7ecdaec2d952b71f107cf3b4f2f1f673cbd2b110ccc2e024772f9b41eb1a0dc6e2b74935da379f110b44ee240426f

PEEK BEHIND THE CURTAIN -- @PhilippeReines: "Not easy to avoid the unwanted Trump hug, sometimes it even takes practice... A favorite moment from debate prep (9/24/16)" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=f4a7ecdaec2d952b070ba82c3bae046ab81db678d805e54bdcc4596d7055e2813143e6ee65a8769cdf605907ac585c1c 

MEDIAWATCH -- JAMES STEWART in the NYT, "Washington Post, Breaking News, Is Also Breaking New Ground": "Scoops -- and high-quality journalism more generally -- are integral to The Post's business model at a time when the future of digital journalism seemed to be veering toward the lowest common denominator of exploding watermelons and stupid pet tricks.

"'Investigative reporting is absolutely critical to our business model,' [Post executive editor Marty] Baron told me. 'We add value. We tell people what they didn't already know. We hold government and powerful people and institutions accountable. This cannot happen without financial support. We're at the point where the public realizes that and is willing to step up and support that work by buying subscriptions.'" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=f4a7ecdaec2d952bcd9cafdb37661059fc9671dd6493cb00f7693def733b0ca131ee4f7d408e1dd395104ddd9b3a4fbc
