Trump Jr. told investigators he had no recollection of the September email." Keep in mind: Trump Jr. was asked about this email when talking to the House Intelligence Committee this week. http://cnn.it/2yOZo9c

JUST NOW

They just successfully bought themselves two more weeks: President Trump just signed a stopgap spending bill to avert a government shutdown. Trump signed the measure without fanfare, one day after Congress sent it to his desk. How long it will fund the government: Until Dec. 22. http://bit.ly/2y7XsF4

ANNOUNCED THIS A.M.

Jobs, jobs, jobs: Employers added 228,000 jobs last month, and the unemployment rate held at 4.1 percent, the lowest level since December 2000. What this means: The U.S. labor market maintained steady growth in November, which is better than expectations with Congress on the cusp of passing the first massive tax package in decades. http://bit.ly/2k9ZYWo

LATEST WITH THE SEXUAL HARASSMENT SCANDALS

Congressional 'Burn Book' --> http://bit.ly/2AEHUvk: Via The Washington Examiner's Susan Ferrechio, the chairman of the House Administration Committee plans to move a bill through the panel that would reverse a law concealing the identities of lawmakers accused of harassment. What would be reformed: The 1995 Congressional Accountability Act, which requires settlements to be kept under wraps and allows lawmakers' offices to use taxpayer money to settle claims. http://washex.am/2A4avck

Anddddd another investigation: The House Ethics Committee is establishing an investigative subcommittee to look into sexual harassment allegations against Rep. Blake Farenthold Randolph (Blake) Blake FarentholdThe biggest political upsets of the decade Members spar over sexual harassment training deadline Female Dems see double standard in Klobuchar accusations MORE (R-Texas). The issue: Farenthold is facing scrutiny over his use of taxpayer funds to settle a 2014 lawsuit with his former communications director. http://bit.ly/2y85dLk

Anddddd another one bites the dust: Yesterday, Rep. Trent Franks Harold (Trent) Trent FranksArizona New Members 2019 Cook shifts 8 House races toward Dems Freedom Caucus members see openings in leadership MORE (R-Ariz.) resigned after revealing he discussed the option of surrogacy with female staffers. "Due to my familiarity and experience with the process of surrogacy, I clearly became insensitive as to how the discussion of such an intensely personal topic might affect others," Franks said in a statement. Franks emphasized that he did not engage in physical sexual misconduct toward his aides. http://bit.ly/2kE5Smw

'Morning Joe' reaction to an Al Franken Alan (Al) Stuart FrankenGOP Senate candidate says Trump, Republicans will surprise in Minnesota Peterson faces fight of his career in deep-red Minnesota district Getting tight — the psychology of cancel culture MORE accuser: MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski referred to an accuser of Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) as a "Playboy model who goes on Hannity [and] voted for Trump" during a discussion on Franken's resignation announcement. Full quote: "I would think a dress owned by Monica Lewinsky would bring down a president. But it didn't," Brzezinski said in reference to a dress containing then-President Bill Clinton William (Bill) Jefferson ClintonChelsea Clinton: Trump isn't building public confidence in a vaccine Hillary Clinton launching podcast this month GOP brushes back charges of hypocrisy in Supreme Court fight MORE's DNA from a sexual encounter in the Oval Office while Lewinsky was an intern. "So I'm surprised that a comedian's picture of a performer, playboy model who goes on Hannity who voted for Trump. I see some politics there but I haven't brought that up every step of the way because of course, in this 'Me Too' environment, you must always believe the women." http://bit.ly/2yP2ppZ

Roy Moore could win because of one policy issue: Via NPR's Jessica Taylor, Alabama's Democratic Senate candidate Doug Jones is walking a fine line on abortion in a deeply religious electorate. His liberal stance on abortion and social issues could hand the special election over to Roy Moore, even with his sexual assault allegations. Fascinating read: http://n.pr/2nJ31Kj

LATE THIS A.M. -- TRUMP'S RALLYING THE TROOPS: The president tweeted, "LAST thing the Make America Great Again Agenda needs is a Liberal Democrat in Senate where we have so little margin for victory already. The Pelosi/Schumer Puppet Jones would vote against us 100% of the time. He's bad on Crime, Life, Border, Vets, Guns & Military. VOTE ROY MOORE!" http://bit.ly/2B134GE

HAPPENING AT 8 P.M. -- IT'S NOT A ROY MOORE RALLY *WINK* REALLY. *WINK*: President Trump is headed this afternoon for a rally that appears aimed at boosting Alabama GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore's chances in a special election next week. The rally will be in Pensacola, Fla., which is 20 miles from the Alabama border. http://bit.ly/2BX2aZl

OP-ED: In an op-ed for The Hill, political analyst Mark Plotkin argues that in the Alabama race it's really Donald Trump and Stephen Bannon who are on the ballot. http://bit.ly/2A3lJhw

IN OTHER NEWS

Next up in the Shark Tank -- Robert Mueller: Via The Hill's Jonathan Easley, conservatives are ramping up their attacks on special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. How so: Republicans on Capitol Hill are increasingly frustrated by what they view as a partisan exercise that's rife with conflicts of interest. A half-dozen GOP lawmakers held a press conference on Wednesday to demand new investigations into Mueller's team. Also on Wednesday, a conservative watchdog group filed a lawsuit to pry loose information about special counsel investigators. The lawsuit came a day after they blasted out emails obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request that the group claimed indicated prosecutorial bias. http://bit.ly/2j8fYf2
