Democratic congressman says Trump “must resign or be impeached” if he told Cohen to lie: The reactions continue to come in after BuzzFeed reported that President Donald Trump told Michael Cohen, then his personal lawyer, to lie about a Moscow deal.

One notable take has come from Texas Democratic Rep. Joaquin Castro, who tweeted that, “If the @BuzzFeed story is true, President Trump must resign or be impeached.” He is the twin brother of Democratic presidential candidate Julian Castro.

Other Democratic lawmakers have said that if Trump in fact told Cohen to lie to Congress about his organization’s plans to build a Trump Tower in Russia, that could prove that the president obstructed justice. Cohen had claimed talks ended in January 2016, well before Trump was the Republican presidential nominee, and during the campaign Trump denied having any business ties with Russia. Trump’s current personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani, has dismissed the BuzzFeed report, saying: “If you believe Cohen, I can get you a great deal on the Brooklyn Bridge.”

Maryland Gov. Hogan sparks talk he’ll challenge Trump in 2020 Republican primary: Larry Hogan, Maryland’s Republican governor, is acting a lot like he’s open to the prospect of a long-shot primary challenge to the incumbent president, says a Politico report.

In his inaugural address on Wednesday, Hogan recalled how his father, former Rep. Lawrence Hogan, was the first GOP congressman to support the removal of Richard Nixon. He’s also been going after the current president in speeches and meeting with Never Trump Republicans.

Trump’s aides have been monitoring the Maryland governor for months, and several told Politico that they regarded Hogan’s speech at his inauguration as an unmistakable act of aggression.

Melania Trump’s trip to Florida on a government plane gets attention: First Lady Melania Trump’s flight to Florida on Thursday on a government plane is generating buzz, given the president just blocked House Speaker Nancy Pelosi from using military aircraft for an overseas trip, citing the ongoing partial government shutdown.

Pompeo may get tapped to run for Senate in Kansas: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has personally courted Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to consider running for an open Senate seat in Kansas, according to a Washington Post report citing unnamed sources familiar with the effort.

But Trump does not want to lose Pompeo and sees him as his favorite Cabinet member, added the report, which comes after a Hill article that said strategists are pushing Pompeo as a failsafe candidate to keep retiring Sen. Pat Roberts’s seat in Republican hands in 2020.
