                   DRIVING THE DAY      
359 DAYS UNTIL THE IOWA CAUCUS ... SNEAK PEEK AT SEN. ELIZABETH WARREN'S 11 A.M. ANNOUNCEMENT TODAY ... NATASHA KORECKI: Hand warmers, port-a-potties and free bus rides - all courtesy of the campaign - this is blustery Lawrence, Massachusetts and most definitely not Oakland, Calif. where Kamala Harris drew 20,000 people last month in 70-degree weather. 

INSTEAD, WARREN'S ADVANCE TEAM is preparing to hand out warming aids in what's forecasted to be a windy day with a high of 34 degrees for Warren's official entry in the presidential race. 

REP. JOE KENNEDY (D-MASS.), a former Warren law student, will introduce Warren and endorse her, the campaign confirms - before she delivers her remarks on the steps of Everett Mills, the site of the 1912 "Bread and Roses Strike," in which thousands of women walked off their factory jobs. 

EXPECT LOTS of comparisons to Harris' crowd size but the Warren campaign is planning an event for about 2,000 people and then will dive into a nationwide tour, with 10 events over nine days, beginning with an immediate organizing event in New Hampshire. With her past claims of Native American ancestry fresh in the news cycle over this document expect Warren to contend with the issue that won't go away while on the road. Follow @natashakorecki for live updates today.

-- BUZZFEED'S HENRY GOMEZ: "Rep. Tim Ryan Is Heading To Iowa And New Hampshire As He Considers Running For President"

-- HUFFPOST'S MOLLY REDDEN and AMANDA TERKEL: "Harry Reid Rebuked Amy Klobuchar For Mistreatment Of Staff": "Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar's mistreatment of her office staff began more than a decade ago and eventually caused such concerns that in 2015, then-Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) spoke to her privately and told her to change her behavior, multiple sources have confirmed to HuffPost.

"Klobuchar, a Democrat who plans to announce whether she's running for president at a rally in Minneapolis on Sunday, has faced trouble hiring campaign aides because of her history of mistreating staff. A spokesman for Reid said the retired senator prefers not to discuss private conversations he had with other senators. In this case, Reid also does not remember whether or not he had this discussion with Klobuchar, the spokesman said." HuffPost ... BuzzFeed's Molly Hensley-Clancy: "Staffers, Documents Show Amy Klobuchar's Wrath Toward Her Aides"

Good Saturday morning. PRESIDENT TRUMP'S summit with KIM JONG UN will be Feb. 27 and Feb. 28 in Hanoi.

BETO O'ROURKE is "joining a one-mile march past Trump's rally and giving a speech across the street at about the same time the [p]resident plans to take the stage," per CNN's Eric Bradner
 
WILD STORY ... THE OREGONIAN: "Not just Oregon: Saudi students in at least 8 states, Canada vanish while facing criminal charges," by Shane Dixon Kavanaugh: "University students from Saudi Arabia have vanished while facing criminal charges here and in at least seven other states as well as Canada - evidence that a growing number of defendants from the wealthy Persian Gulf kingdom have fled justice in the United States.
 
 "There are likely more to be discovered. The Oregonian/OregonLive uncovered five examples in Oregon and began searching other states in late January. We've found similar cases in Montana, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Utah, Washington and Wisconsin.
 
 "We also found two cases in Nova Scotia: Saudi students in two separate incidents skipped bail and disappeared after being accused of sexual assault. In Oregon, each case involved Saudi nationals who vanished before they faced trial or completed their jail sentence: two accused rapists, a pair of suspected hit-and-run drivers and one man accused of having a trove of child pornography on his computer.

 "All were young men studying at a public college or university in Oregon with assistance from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia at the time of their arrest. In at least four of those cases, the Saudi government paid the defendant's bail and legal fees. Three surrendered their passports. Some have been tracked back to Saudi Arabia." Oregonian

AMAZING ... JOHN DINGELL dictated this Washington Post op-ed to his wife just before he died: "My last words for America": "In my life and career, I have often heard it said that so-and-so has real power - as in, 'the powerful Wile E. Coyote, chairman of the Capture the Road Runner Committee.'

"It's an expression that has always grated on me. In democratic government, elected officials do not have power. They hold power - in trust for the people who elected them. If they misuse or abuse that public trust, it is quite properly revoked (the quicker the better). I never forgot the people who gave me the privilege of representing them. It was a lesson learned at home from my father and mother, and one I have tried to impart to the people I've served with and employed over the years.

"As I prepare to leave this all behind, I now leave you in control of the greatest nation of mankind and pray God gives you the wisdom to understand the responsibility you hold in your hands." WaPo

AUDIENCE OF ONE -- AP'S ERIC TUCKER and MARY CLARE JALONICK: "White House officials kept an eye on [Matt] Whitaker's performance and, while they appreciated his combative tone and aggressive defense of the administration, there was a sense from aides that his performance, at times, appeared halting and ill-prepared. The president himself kept an eye on the proceedings before leaving the White House for his annual physical." AP

-- @maggieNYT: "Spotted at the Trump Hotel earlier [Friday night] -- Matt Whitaker, post-testimony."

THE PRESIDENT (@realDonaldTrump) this morning at 9:30 a.m.:"The Democrats in Congress yesterday were vicious and totally showed their cards for everyone to see. When the Republicans had the Majority they never acted with such hatred and scorn! The Dems are trying to win an election in 2020 that they know they cannot legitimately win!"

A message from U.S. Chamber of Commerce:
 
A new HHS proposal would import foreign drug pricing policies that block access to life-saving drugs, inhibit R&D necessary to discover new drugs, and threaten our nation's free-market health care system. Tell HHS: Protect America's free-market healthcare system!
         
THE INVESTIGATIONS -- "New Evidence Emerges of Possible Wrongdoing by Trump Inaugural Committee," by ProPublica's Justin Elliott and WNYC's Ilya Marritz: "A spokesman confirmed that the nonprofit 58th Presidential Inaugural Committee paid the Trump International Hotel a rate of $175,000 per day for event space - in spite of internal objections at the time that the rate was far too high. 

"If the committee is deemed by auditors or prosecutors to have paid an above-market rate, that could violate tax laws prohibiting self-dealing, according to experts. Tax law prohibits nonprofits from paying inflated prices to entities that are owned by people who also control or influence the nonprofit's activities." ProPublica

-- "Trump campaign paid legal fees to firm representing Jared Kushner," by ABC News' Soo Rin Kim, Katherine Faulders and Matthew Mosk: "President Donald Trump's campaign has spent nearly $100,000 of donor money to pay legal bills to the firm representing Jared Kushner, the latest campaign finance records show. The president's re-election campaign made two payments to the firm, Winston & Strawn LLP - $55,330 and $42,574. The expenditures were payments to Kushner's attorney Abbe Lowell for Kushner's legal fees." ABC News

W.H. ON KHASHOGGI MURDER: MEH ... NYT'S PETER BAKER and ERIC SCHMITT: "President Trump refused to provide Congress a report on Friday determining who killed the journalist Jamal Khashoggi, defying a demand by lawmakers intent on establishing whether the crown prince of Saudi Arabia was behind the grisly assassination.

"Mr. Trump effectively bypassed a deadline set by law as his administration argued that Congress could not impose its will on the president. ... Democrats said Mr. Trump was violating a law known as the Magnitsky Act. It required him to respond 120 days after a request submitted in the fall by committee leaders - including Senator Bob Corker, Republican of Tennessee and then the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee - a period that expired Friday." NYT

SCOOP -- DANIEL LIPPMAN and ELIANA JOHNSON, "White House hunts for 'executive time' schedule leaker": "The White House is aggressively investigating several leaks of President Donald Trump's private schedules, a source of repeated embarrassment to the White House and the president himself. West Wing officials managing the hunt have enlisted the help of the White House IT office, and believe they are making progress in narrowing the search for potential suspects.

"One Trump official said the culprit is likely a career government employee who works in the White House, not a person appointed by Trump himself, but did not offer specific evidence. The search has been approved by the office of acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, and Trump himself - who has been infuriated by leaks from within his White House - is aware of the mole hunt and supports the effort, according to one of the officials." POLITICO

TRUMP'S HEALTH ... WAPO'S ANNE GEARAN: "Trump's doctor says he is in 'very good health' after exam by 11 specialists": "[A] physical exam ... lasted nearly four hours and included 11 specialists. The White House did not release details of the exam at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and did not say whether more details would be released. Trump was seen by a 'panel of 11 different board certified specialists,' Sean P. Conley wrote in a brief memorandum released by the White House. ... 

"Trump, 72, has visibly gained weight in recent years. He makes no secret of preferring a diet of red meat, fast food and sweets. He is not known to exercise beyond his beloved rounds of golf." WaPo

THE MESS IN VIRGINIA ... MARC CAPUTO, ANITA KUMAR and MAGGIE SEVERNS, with a Richmond dateline: "Second sexual assault claim triggers call for Fairfax impeachment": "A second woman has accused Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax of sexual assault, triggering calls for his resignation and impeachment from fellow Democrats.

"Fairfax forcefully denied the accusation Friday but hemorrhaged support as he faced resignation calls from the Democratic state House and Senate caucuses, nearly the state's entire congressional delegation, Sen. Tim Kaine, former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe and several presidential candidates. Late Friday, even the Legislative Black Caucus called for Fairfax, the state's only statewide black official, to step down ...

"A Democratic state House member pledged to submit articles of impeachment against Fairfax if he did not resign by Monday. The new accuser, Meredith Watson, also called on Fairfax to quit.

"'Mr. Fairfax's attack was premeditated and aggressive,' Watson said through her attorney in a letter issued Friday. Watson's lawyer said she attended Duke University with Fairfax in 2000 when the alleged attack happened and that she has statements from friends and electronic messages corroborating her account." POLITICO

GOP SPEAKER KIRK COX says he thinks Fairfax should resign (h/t CNN's Ryan Nobles, who knows his way around Richmond) Cox's statement

-- WAPO'S JENNA PORTNOY, GREGORY S. SCHNEIDER, NEENA SATIJA and LAURA VOZZELLA: "Kaneedreck Adams, 40, who attended Duke with Watson, said that in spring 2000, Watson lived across the hall from her in an on-campus apartment complex and came to her in tears. ... 'She told me she had been raped, and she named Justin.' 'She said she couldn't speak, but she was trying to get up and he kept pushing her down,' Adams said.

"'She said he knew that she didn't like what was happening, but he kept pushing her down.' The alleged attack happened at a fraternity house, Adams said. 'We all knew (Fairfax) wanted to be in politics,' Adams said. 'He had a reputation for being very friendly. Some of my friends, we called him "Sunshine." He was a nice, sweet, charming guy.' 

"Watson's attorney provided an email exchange from 2016 between Watson and Milagros Joye Brown, another friend from Duke, after Brown invited some Duke friends to a fundraising event for Fairfax's nascent campaign for lieutenant governor. 'Justin raped me in college and I don't want to hear anything about him. Please, please, please remove me from any future emails about him please,' Watson wrote on Oct. 26, 2016." WaPo

... DEPT. OF HANGING ON: BUZZFEED'S DARREN SANDS: "Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam Plans To Survive By Changing His Agenda To Focus On Race": "Northam doesn't plan to hold any more press conferences any time soon. Advisers are in the midst of negotiations with major networks for a nationally televised interview they hope will humanize him. Additionally, his advisers have assigned the governor homework: He's begun to read Alex Haley's 'Roots', and 'The Case for Reparations,' the seminal essay in The Atlantic by Ta-Nehisi Coates." BuzzFeed ... Coates' essay

 COMMONWEALTH STEP BACKS ... 

-- NYT'S JONATHAN MARTIN in Richmond and ALEX BURNS in New York on A1: "Virginia's Racist History Clashes With New South Image"

-- JOHN F. HARRIS: "Virginia, a Dignified Disaster": "As a former state capital reporter in Richmond, I confess to a twinge of perverse pride in seeing my old haunts back in the spotlight, a quarter-century or more after I was there.

"The circumstances-by last count four top state officials embroiled in controversy of a racial or sexual nature-are sickening. They are also, let's face it, mesmerizing, in a way that politics can be when the plot hurtles wildly between drama and farce and the politicians are stripped of their customary veneers of respectability.

"Virginia is a state that for historical reasons has always imagined its political institutions and leaders as possessed of special virtue. Now they are known for uncommon vice. With widespread demands for the resignations of both Gov. Ralph Northam, embroiled in controversy over a racist blackface photograph, and Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax, an African-American politician facing on-the-record allegations from two women accusing him of violent sexual assault, Virginia state government is facing a comprehensive meltdown.

"In part because the state limits governors to a single term, and in part because Virginia politicians in recent decades have played a prominent role in national politics, Northam is the first governor out of the nine elected since 1981 that I do not know personally. Fairfax was still in high school when I left Richmond. Time marches on." POLITICO Mag

HOLLYWOODLAND - "Les Moonves, Fired by CBS, Sets Up Shop in Hollywood," by NYT's David Gelles, Rachel Abrams and Edmund Lee: "His exit agreement ... states that CBS must pay for Mr. Moonves's 'office services' for no less than a year, even if the company fired him for cause. CBS declined to comment.

"On Oct. 30, according to a filing with the California secretary of state, Mr. Moonves registered Moon Rise Unlimited, a limited liability company that will focus on 'entertainment services.' ... Mr. Moonves also appears to have formed two related companies around the same time: Moon Rise Technologies, which it said in a filing planned to provide 'streaming services and distribution,' and Moon Rise Productions, which it said planned to provide 'film and television production' services."

GREAT WEEKEND READS, curated by Daniel Lippman:

-- "A Swamp Divided: How Trump's Arrival Turned D.C. Nightlife Upside Down," by Ryan Lizza in the March issue of Esquire: "The Trump era is different. Washington feels more like occupied territory, and every social interaction is fraught with ideological and even moral questions about whether it is appropriate to mingle with people who defend the indefensible: lying, attacking reporters as enemies of the people, putting children in cages, assisting in the cover-up of the murder of Jamal Khashoggi."

A message from U.S. Chamber of Commerce:
 
HHS has proposed a dangerous new policy that would set prices for some Medicare drugs based on an international benchmark. This would import the foreign government price controls set by countries with socialized health care systems. 

It's not a coincidence that patients in these foreign countries have access to a fraction of the cures Americans do.

This proposal would threaten our free-market health care system, inhibit the R&D necessary to discover new treatments, and block access to life-saving drugs for America's seniors. Protect U.S. businesses and our free-market health care system. Tell HHS: Drop this dangerous proposal.
