Natl Capital Planning Comm votes to move the arch proposal forward but asks its planners to provide more info & answer critical qs. So arch still has hurdles before final approval. Comm Trump-appointed chmn did say he doesn’t believe arch should have to comply w DC height limits
One concern about the arch is the proximity to Reagan National Airport. FAA is already examine potential impact on air safety. Commission staff reports arch would be 3,000 feet from the airport.

Dozens of preservationists, architects speak against proposed Triumphant Arch during Natl Capital Planning Comm mtg. Proposed btw Arlington Cemetery & Lincoln Memorial at 250 feet, it'd be largest arch in the world, larger than one in N Korea & 86 feet higher than Arc de Triomphe

.@reidhoffman speaks out on DOJ investigation: “The investigation into Carroll’s case is not a one-off. It is the latest move in a sustained campaign to convert the Justice Department from a guardian of the law into an instrument of personal vengeance.”

.@RepBrianFitz says @POTUS callout this week criticizing him won’t impact his effort to stop DOJ anti-weaponization cmte.
“I am going to speak my mind,” he tells CNN’s @smerconish. “It is a bad policy…I am going to step up and do the right thing.”
He will intro bill to stop it.
As part of IRS case being dropped, @TheJusticeDept forms “Anti-Weaponization Fund” to provide “systematic process to hear and redress claims of others who suffered weaponization and lawfare.”
@potus & other plaintiffs to receive formal apology but no monetary payment or damages
Aboard Air Force One @POTUS deflects again about whether the is was responsible for the bombing of the girls school at the beginning of the war saying again “That is under investigation.” He said it was one of the items now under investigation.
NEW: I @NewsNation just spoke briefly with President Trump over the phone and I asked if he plans to respond to Iran before he leaves for China and he said “I’m not gonna talk to you about that, obviously.”
When I pressed if Americans should expect any major decisions before you leave for China he said, “I don’t want to talk to you about that. Thanks Kellie.”
.@comey strongly hints he will make vindictive prosecution argument against @doj to drop the sea shells indictment. "We certainly will make all appropriate motions in the North Carolina case."
Will he be investigated in DOJ "grand conspriacy" probe? @comey: "That is really red string on the basement crazy wall stuff...they found an 81 year old guy-Joe DiGenova-to come back to government for the first time since Duran Duran was on the charts and lead an investigation."

Asked will DOJ indict him again, @comey to @MSNOWNews: "Maybe...if Donald Trump wakes up at 3 in the morning thinking about me."
"I am sure if this case falls apart they will come with something else. I am going to have to deal with this...as long as Donald Trump is in the WH."

Asked if @DAGToddBlanche is the "bottom of the barrel," @comey responds: "Only time will tell. I mean Pam Bondi I thought was not a good fit for the role. Her standards were apparently too high. So we will see."

>@Comey vows @potus will not silence him. "I am not going to stop criticizing him because that is required if you care about America. And so it will just keep going. If he gets rid of Blanche he will just try to find somebody else," he says on @MSNOWNews. Comey ouwith new book.
