  • California lawmaker Kevin de León has introduced a work-around to Donald Trump’s tax bill that would essentially allow people to deduct more than the $10,000 limit. [Washington Post]
  • Roy Moore accuser Tina Johnson’s home burned down on Tuesday. An arson investigation is underway. [AL.com]
  • The FBI has launched a new investigation into the Clinton Foundation. [The Hill]
  • Robert Weaver, Trump’s nominee to lead the Indian Health Service, might be far less experienced than his resume claims. How shocking. [Wall Street Journal]
