Maybe he’ll cite ‘Two Corinthians’

President-elect Trump — not exactly known for his piety — will be sworn in as the 45th president with not one Bible but two — the one that Abraham Lincoln used at his first inauguration and his own personal Good Book.

Thomas Barrack Jr., who is leading the inaugural committee, said in a statement:

In his first inaugural address, President Lincoln appealed to the ‘better angels of our nature.’ As he takes the same oath of office 156 years later, President-elect Trump is humbled to place his hand on Bibles that hold special meaning both to his family and to our country.

Mr. Trump’s Bible was apparently presented to him by his mother upon his graduation from the Sunday Church Primary School at First Presbyterian Church in Jamaica, Queens, on Children’s Day, June 12, 1955.

The president-elect may not have studied it closely. At a speech to the evangelical Liberty University during the campaign, he famously referred to “Two Corinthians,” a faux pas in Christian circles (he also cursed, twice). It’s Second Corinthians.

Education secretary nominee still hasn’t finished ethics form

The late-day confirmation hearing for Betsy DeVos, a billionaire and Mr. Trump’s pick for education secretary, is expected to feature fierce questioning from Democrats over her still-incomplete ethics form.

Ms. DeVos, the heiress to an automotive fortune who married into the even more vast fortune of the family that owns Amway, is one of few nominees to go before a Senate panel before completing an ethics questionnaire for the independent Office of Government Ethics addressing her financial holdings. According to prepared remarks, Senator Patty Murray of Washington, the highest-ranking Democrat on the Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee, will say:

I am going to want to learn more about your extensive financial entanglements and potential conflicts of interest. As a billionaire with hundreds, if not thousands, of investments made through complex financial instruments — many of which are made in ways that are not transparent and hard to track — you need to make it very clear how you will be avoiding conflicts of interest should you be confirmed. That goes for your investments, as well as the massive web of investments made by your immediate family.

Trump disagrees with Republicans — again

Mr. Trump had already upended Republican plans to quickly repeal the Affordable Care Act, then replace it several years down the road, by demanding that a new health care law be ready within weeks.

He made matters worse for Republicans when he told The Washington Post this past weekend that any replacement plan should offer insurance to all Americans, and that Republicans should embrace the long-held Democratic proposal to empower the federal government to negotiate drug prices for Medicare and Medicaid.
