                   DRIVING THE DAY      
THE PRESIDENT SAYS HE'LL HELP PELOSI -- @realDonaldTrump at 6:37 a.m.: "I can get Nancy Pelosi as many votes as she wants in order for her to be Speaker of the House. She deserves this victory, she has earned it -- but there are those in her party who are trying to take it away. She will win! @TomReedCongress". 

-- TRUMP, via a pool report from from Linda Feldmann of the Christian Science Monitor: "I'm not saying I'd get any [votes from] the super conservative side, but maybe I even get them from there. But I don't imagine she'd need too many. But whatever number of votes she needs, if it's 50 or 10 or 2 or 1, she's got em from [me], automatic. So tell her opposition, they're wasting their time." 
 
PELOSI RESPONDS ... DREW HAMMILL, Pelosi's deputy chief of staff: "Leader Pelosi will win the Speakership with Democratic votes."

 -- ALSO ... ANY REPUBLICAN who votes for Pelosi would probably get a primary challenge. Kevin McCarthy -- who is flying with Trump to California today -- might have a different take on this. 

NOTES ON THE SPEAKER RACE ... ONE OF THE NICE things about the Capitol is that reporters have the ability to go everywhere, and lawmakers truly can't escape us. (Newly elected Democrats are getting accustomed to that). 

NANCY PELOSI'S office is connected to the Rayburn Room, a large space on the second floor of the Capitol -- and that's where a bunch of the press corps was camped out yesterday afternoon. It allowed us to see practically everyone who walked into Pelosi's office -- although they could escape through a back entrance on the way out. 

IT WAS AN INTERESTING scene. Pelosi had a rotating cast of lawmakers cycling in and out of the office all day. She would ask new lawmakers about their priorities, their districts and they emerged seemingly positive about their interactions with Pelosi. MIKIE SHERRILL, a Democrat who won the New Jersey seat held for decades by GOP Rep. Rodney Frelinghuysen, wouldn't say a word about who she would vote for when she emerged from a meeting with Pelosi -- despite saying she was against Pelosi on the campaign trail. HALEY STEVENS, a Michigan Democrat, said she hasn't said no to voting for Pelosi.

ABIGAIL SPANBERGER, the Democrat who beat Virginia Rep. Dave Brat, said her conversation with Pelosi was positive, but she would be keeping her campaign promise and voting against her. 

-- LIZZIE FLETCHER, who beat longtime Texas Rep. John Culberson in Houston, came out in support of Pelosi. As did Katie Porter of California.

IT SEEMED as if Pelosi was methodically hearing out every everyone in the Democratic caucus. At around 3 p.m., the press corps asked Pelosi's team how many more meetings she had. They said she would squeeze in another six meetings before the end of the day, before three evening events.

BEHIND THE SCENES ... PELOSI attended a Democracy Alliance event at the Capitol Hilton, where she was introduced as "the original badass woman in Washington and the next speaker of the House." 

PELOSI on winning on health care -- "Two years ago after the election so many people were sad but we said, 'we don't agonize, we organize.' And working together we did that. The very next day we had our conference call with the groups. By next Sunday and ever widening circle of friends, putting together how we would protect the Affordable Care Act.

"We made a plan to launch on Martin Luther King Weekend - which we did... The next day, the brightest day, in spontaneous, organic activism on Washington turned into a march around the world. Much of it focused on health care, women's health care, family planning, lots of other issues as well - but all shared values. Women marched, and then they ran, and then they won."

MEANWHILE, there has been a lot of chatter about a letter from 20 or so rebels saying they will not vote for Pelosi. That letter has yet to surface, and Pelosi continues to grind. No one knows how this will end up. 

-- WAPO'S MIKE DEBONIS on MASSACHUSETTS REP. SETH MOULTON: "Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton, the hard-charging Marine who served four tours of duty in Iraq is leading the challenge to Rep. Nancy Pelosi and her bid for speaker - and is suddenly taking incoming fire from all quarters.

"Prominent liberal activists are openly floating a primary challenge to the two-term Massachusetts congressman, the instigator of the nearly 20 Democratic foes to Pelosi and one who helped recruit several of the incoming freshmen opposing her.

"Outraged by the treatment of the first female House speaker, Pelosi's backers have characterized the effort as a sexist putsch and urged calls to Moulton's office as well as the other male Democratic opponents.
 
"Inside the House, Moulton's ambition and sharp elbows have long been a subject of his colleagues' grumbling, and his latest fusillade at Pelosi - this time, after a sweeping electoral win - has angered even some of his admirers. ... 'Never took responsibility for anything, and that's not what leaders do,' he said. 'A good selfless leader shares the credit for a win and owns mistakes.'" WaPo

SNEAK PEEK ... PRESIDENT TRUMP on "FOX NEWS SUNDAY" with Chris Wallace: WALLACE: "A federal judge, who you appointed has just ruled that you must give CNN reporter Jim Acosta his press pass back. Your reaction to the ruling, sir."
 
 TRUMP: "Yeah, it's fine I mean it's not a big deal. What they said though is that we have to create rules and regulations for conduct etc. etc. We're doing that, were going to write them up right now. It's not a big deal and if he misbehaves we'll throw him out or we'll stop the news conference."
 
 WALLACE: "What are your rules going to be? What is it that you're saying?" TRUMP: "They're doing them now." WALLACE: "'This is over the line and you lose your press pass.'"

 TRUMP: "We're writing them now. We'll have rules of decorum you know you can't keep asking questions. We had a lot of reporters in that room, many many reporters in that room and they were unable to ask questions because this guy gets up and starts you know doing what he's supposed to be doing for him and for CNN and you know just shouting out questions and making statements too. But I will say this look, nobody believes in the First Amendment more than I do and if I think somebody is acting out of sorts I will leave I will say thank you very much everybody I appreciate you coming and I'll leave. And those reporters will not be too friendly to whoever it is that's acting up."
 
-- TRUMP on Veterans Day: WALLACE: "But here's the question, you're back in Washington on Monday, Veterans Day, why don't you go across the river to Arlington for that ceremony? Barack Obama went every year he was here in D.C."
 
 TRUMP: "I should have done that, I was extremely busy on calls for the country, we did a lot of calling as you know." WALLACE: "But this is Veteran's Day."
 
 TRUMP: "I could have done that, as you know I just left the day before the American Cemetery and I probably think, and that was one where it was raining as hard as you can imagine and I made a speech at the American Cemetery the day before and I probably, you know, in retrospect I should have and I did last year and I will virtually every year. But we had come in very late at night and I had just left, literally, the American Cemetery in Paris and I really probably assumed that was fine and I was extremely busy because of affairs of state -- doing other things."
 
 WALLACE: "Why..." TRUMP: "But I would have -- I would have done it."

TWO WAPO BOMBSHELLS ... 

-- WAPO'S SHANE HARRIS, GREG MILLER and JOSH DAWSEY: "CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi's assassination": "The CIA has concluded that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the assassination of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in Istanbul last month, contradicting the Saudi government's claims that he was not involved in the killing, according to people familiar with the matter. 

"The CIA's assessment, in which officials have said they have high confidence, is the most definitive to date linking Mohammed to the operation and complicates the Trump administration's efforts to preserve its relationship with a close ally. ...

"In reaching its conclusions, the CIA examined multiple sources of intelligence, including a phone call that the prince's brother Khalid bin Salman, the Saudi ambassador to the United States, had with Khashoggi, according to the people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the intelligence. 

"Khalid told Khashoggi, a contributing columnist to The Washington Post, that he should go to the Saudi consulate in Istanbul to retrieve the documents and gave him assurances that it would be safe to do so. It is not clear if Khalid knew that Khashoggi would be killed, but he made the call at his brother's direction, according to the people familiar with the call, which was intercepted by U.S. intelligence." WaPo

-- WAPO'S GREG MILLER and SOUAD MEKHENNET: "Woman says she married Khashoggi in ceremony kept secret from his fiancee and some in his family": "An Egyptian woman says she married Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi in a religious ceremony in the United States this year, months before he was killed at a Saudi consulate in Turkey while seeking papers needed to marry a different woman. 

"The disclosure of the marriage, which Khashoggi appears to have kept hidden from his Turkish fiancee and even members of his family, adds to the complicated timeline of Khashoggi's final months before he was killed by a team of Saudi assassins in October.

"In an interview, the woman said she was coming forward to reveal her relationship with Khashoggi because 'as a Muslim wife, I want my full right and to be recognized.'" WaPo

MCCONNELL TO KUSHNER ... THANKS, BUT NO THANKS ... NYT'S NICK FANDOS and MAGGIE HABERMAN: "Senator Mitch McConnell told President Trump in a private meeting on Thursday that there is not likely to be enough time to bring a bipartisan criminal justice bill up for a vote this year, regardless of the support it has in the Senate and the White House, according to people familiar with the meeting. 

"Mr. McConnell, who as majority leader controls the Senate floor, delivered the news in a previously scheduled meeting at the White House convened to discuss the chamber's legislative agenda for the remaining weeks of the term. Lawmakers from both parties have been working furiously to build support for the compromise legislation that would begin to reverse some of the tough-on-crime federal policies of the 1980s and 1990s that incarcerated African-American offenders at much higher rates than white offenders." NYT

ELIANA JOHNSON: "John Kelly makes final bid to save Kirstjen Nielsen's job": "White House chief of staff John Kelly is fighting to save Kirstjen Nielsen, the Homeland Security chief at whom President Donald Trump has lashed out for the rise in border apprehensions over the past several months. Kelly, whose fate in the administration is also unclear, is working to convince the president that Nielsen is not to blame for a recent surge in arrests at the U.S.-Mexico border that has enraged him, according to two sources familiar with the conversations.

"Nielsen also has other supporters, including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who have told Trump that Nielsen cannot control the border crossing rate. ... Kelly's bid to save Nielsen may be motivated in part by an understanding that, with Nielsen gone, he would be almost completely isolated in an administration that several of his onetime allies have departed." POLITICO

         
 THE INVESTIGATIONS ... 
 
-- WAPO'S SPENCER HSU: "Maria Butina, alleged Russian agent who met with NRA and other groups, is in plea talks": "Attorneys for a Russian woman jailed on charges of seeking to infiltrate the National Rifle Association and other American conservative groups for the Russian government are in negotiations with federal prosecutors, both sides said in a court filing Friday. Lawyers for Maria Butina, 29, and the U.S. attorney's office for the District made the disclosure about talks over a potential plea agreement in a two-page filing that asked U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan to postpone a Dec. 6 court hearing by about two weeks." WaPo

 TIM MILLER RESPONDS: "Setting the Record Straight Regarding My Facebook Work"

WRAPPING UP -- "Bill Nelson's recount comeback hopes slip from slim to 'virtually impossible'" -- Miami Herald: "Election Day has passed. More than 8 million votes have been counted (twice). And an unprecedented statewide manual recount is all but over. So, too, it seems, is Bill Nelson's career in the U.S. Senate. Already clinging to the thinnest of reelection hopes, the Democrat's fast-fading campaign took what appeared to be fatal blows Friday when two court rulings went against him and a manual recount across Florida's 67 counties progressed smoothly and with little drama." Miami Herald

-- "Stacey Abrams' defiant speech delights supporters, irks critics," by Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Tia Mitchell and Greg Bluestein: "Stacey Abrams chose to end her gubernatorial campaign the way she ran it: by bucking conventional wisdom. Where other losing candidates have been subdued and conciliatory, she was defiant and bold. ... [S]he knew her critics would have wanted her to say nice things about Republican Brian Kemp, but she didn't feel comfortable giving that kind of speech. ... 

"The Democrat wished Kemp well and said she will pray for his success as Georgia's governor. But she also blasted his tenure as secretary of state and promised to remain vocal on the issues of election reform and voter suppression." AJC

-- "Rep. Mia Love jumps ahead of Ben McAdams by 419 votes after updates from Utah, Salt Lake counties," by Salt Lake Tribune's Benjamin Wood

    
         
ANNIE KARNI: "Another Trump aide tell-all due to hit shelves in January": "Cliff Sims, a Trump adviser who joined the West Wing staff on Day One as a special assistant to the president after working on the campaign, is writing a memoir about his time working for the president. The book is set to be published in January, two sources familiar with the project said. ... Sims' book, according to people familiar with the project, has been in the works for months and was described as a thoughtful and introspective portrayal of his time serving in the Trump White House.

"The book is modeled, those people said, on George Stephanopoulos' tell-all memoir 'All Too Human,' a personal account of his time serving as communications director in the Clinton White House. ... He's also in competition with writers who are still telling the story from the inside out. The journalist Michael Wolff is also working on a sequel to his bestseller 'Fire & Fury: Inside the Trump White House.'" POLITICO

But she also helped create it," by WaPo's Elizabeth Dwoskin: "Even in Silicon Valley, where it's common to hear start-up workers become frustrated with management after an acquisition, the disillusionment of the early Instagram employees is striking: People seldom swear off or criticize the product they built, particularly when it has enjoyed such remarkable success.
