Good morning, it’s Wednesday, 17 January 2018 and this is the Morning Edition of The Nightshift.
Welcome to 2018.
Steve Bannon was at Congress yesterday to answer questions behind closed doors. It’s the first of several such interviews he will face. The next one–expected before the end of the month–will be with Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Bannon, who did not answer a lot of questions in Congress (the White House evoked a broad form of executive privilege), will face a detailed and intense grilling from Mueller and his team.
In other parts of Congress, expect nothing. The town is frozen–both in terms of temperature and activity–as the Democrats want DACA reform and the Republicans want funding for the government, which runs out of money this coming Friday. Compromise is not imminent.
A false missile warning was triggered in Japan,in a situation eerily similar to the one that caused widespread panic in Hawaii.
A giant oil spill is now spreading in the China sea. The oil was released after the collision between an oil tanker and a ship.
The cold that has gripped the Southern and Eastern United States continues. Texas faces another deepfreeze day and night while the Southeast is facing more snow and freezing temperatures.
