President Trump may argue the U.S. economy is roaring, but he clearly 
worries that a recession is not out of the realm of possibility next year and 
could jeopardize his bid for reelection. 
Page 17836 
EFTA00047347

"I don't see a recession," the president said on Sunday before he flew from 
New Jersey to Washington at the end of his summer break. 
Back in the White House, Trump renewed criticism of Federal Reserve 
Chairman Jerome Powell, bellowing Twitter instructions to the independent 
central bank on Monday to prime the pump with lower interest rates. The 
president resists the view shared by many that his tariff policies added a 
drag on U.S. growth. He argues that American consumers, the engine of 
growth, will keep spending. 
White House national economic adviser Larry Kudlow and Trump 
counselor Kellyanne Conway both worked Monday to tamp down market 
and analyst predictions that a recession looms next year, or by 2021 (The 
Hill). 
Kudlow has scheduled briefing calls this week with state and local business 
leaders in an effort to talk up economic confidence, The Washington Post 
reports. A White House spokesman said the calls are about Trump's 
economic agenda and "have been long-planned." 
The Associated Press: Seventy-four percent of U.S. business economists 
said on Monday in a new report they expect a recession in the U.S. by the 
end of 2021. 
Later Monday, the White House knocked down a report that Trump's 
economic team is in the early stages of discussing the virtues of a temporary 
payroll tax cut as a way to stimulate spending to potentially stave off a 
recession. The White House, which in general favors lower taxes, is open to 
weighing executive and legislative actions that could buoy a slowing 
economy into next year. But any GOP-favored legislative tax changes this 
year, in the absence of an economic crisis, would run into a brick wall in the 
Democratic-controlled House heading towards a presidential election. 
Federal Reserve Bank of Boston President Eric Rosengren, who was one 
of two officials on the Federal Open Market Committee who dissented when 
the panel voted to cut interest rates in July, continued to push back on 
Monday against further interest rate cuts by the central bank. He says he's 
Page 17837 
EFTA00047348

not convinced that slowing trade and global growth will significantly hobble 
the U.S. economy (Bloomberg). 
"We're likely to have a second half of the year that's much closer to 2 percent 
growth, "he said during a Bloomberg Television interview. "I'm not saying 
there are not circumstances in which I'd be willing to ease. I just want to see 
evidence we are going into something that is more a slowdown." 
Markets and the White House will listen intently to Powell on Friday, looking 
for reassuring clues about Fed policy for the remainder of this year. Powell 
is giving a high-profile speech at the central bank's annual economic forum 
in Jackson Hole, Wyo. (CNBC). 
Investors were cheered on Monday by stimulus measures adopted over the 
weekend in China and Germany, two major economies experiencing 
sluggish growth. China's central bank unveiled a key interest rate reform to 
nudge borrowing costs lower for companies, while Germany signaled 
readiness to make available up to $55 billion worth of extra spending 
(Reuters). 
The Wall Street Journal: Consumer luxury items, such as RVs, have seen a 
real decline in sales, considered a recession warning alert. "The RV industry 
is better at calling recessions than economists are,"said 
Hicks, a 
Ball State University economist in Muncie, Ind. 
The Associated Press: So, is a recession near? 
The Hill: Five administration officials who shape Trump's trade agenda. 
Gerald F. Seib: If economy sours, Democrats will face a tough choice. 
LEADING THE DAY 
Page 17838 
EFTA00047349

CONGRESS: The pro-impeachment crowd gained a key new ally on 
Monday when Rep. Ben■ Lujan (D-N.M.), the No. 4 House Democrat 
who is running for the Senate and competing in a contested primary, came 
out in favor of the push, making him the highest ranking member of the 
caucus to do so. 
Lujan, the assistant Speaker and former chairman of the House Democratic 
campaign arm, said in a statement that he moved into the pro-impeachment 
column due to warnings that Russian efforts to interfere in U.S. elections 
have continued into the 2020 cycle (The Hill). 
'The Trump presidency is creating grave national security concerns," Lujan 
said in a statement. "Not only has he ignored the warnings that our 
Democracy is being targeted, but he has also actively encouraged Russian 
interference." 
"President Trump's lack of action is jeopardizing our elections, national 
security, and Democracy," Lujan said. "What is evident is that President 
Trump is abdicating his responsibility to defend our nation from Russian 
attacks and is putting his own personal and political interests ahead of the 
American people." 
Lujan's announcement adds to a majority of the House Democratic Caucus 
who now support opening an impeachment inquiry against the president. 
The total number is 123 lawmakers. Rep. Katherine= (D-Mass.) was 
the highest ranking member to back an inquiry before Lujan's 
announcement. 
> Israel: Days after Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) and Rashida Tlaib (D-
Mich.) were barred from entering Israel for an official visit, the pair of 
progressive lawmakers urged their fellow members of Congress to visit and 
kept up their criticism of the president and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin 
Netanyahu. 
"I would encourage my colleagues to visit, meet with the people we were 
Page 17839 
EFTA00047350

going to meet with, see the things we were going to see, hear the stories we 
were going to hear,"Omar said at a news conference in St. Paul, Minn. 'We 
cannot let Trump and Netanyahu succeed in hiding the cruel reality of the 
occupation from us." 
The Muslim lawmakers were blocked by Israel from making the trip last 
week over their support for the boycott, divesture and anctions movement, a 
decision that was cheered by Trump. Omar and Tlaib had planned to visit 
the Israeli-occupied West Bank on a tour organized by a Palestinian group 
and make a stop in Jerusalem. The two are frequent critics of the Israeli 
treatment of the Palestinians. 
Despite being uninvited initially, Tlaib was granted a permit to visit on 
humanitarian grounds so she could see her grandmother in the West Bank. 
However, she declined, citing Israel's "oppressive conditions meant to 
humiliate" her (The Associated Press). 
> Mueller fades away: Former special counsel 
Mueller's 
investigation has largely faded from the airwaves less than a month after his 
high-profile testimony on Capitol Hill, serving as a possible sign for 
Democrats that public interest in the probe is waning. 
During a rally in New Hampshire last week, Trump did not launch into his 
usual diatribes criticizing the Mueller probe as a partisan "witch hunt" that 
aims to damage his presidency. Instead, the president opted for fresher 
targets by going after Omar and Tlaib over what he claims are "anti-Israel" 
views. 
The president is not the only one shifting focus away from the probe, which 
until recently dominated the cable news airwaves. In late July, the topic of 
Mueller's investigation and impeachment were largely absent as the 
crowded bunch of Democratic contestants sought to debate each other over 
policy issues such as health care and who is the best bet to fight against 
Trump in the general election. 
A fading public interest in the Mueller probe would be an unwelcome change 
for House Democrats, particularly as Democrats on the House Judiciary

POLITICS & CAMPAIGNS: Nearly two months after she made waves in 
the first round of Democratic presidential debates, Sen. Kamala Harris's 
(D-Calif.) campaign is facing a crucial moment. 
As Arnie Parnes reports, Harris has lost steam in polling consistently over 
the past month and has been unable to keep pace with former Vice 
President Joe Biden and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who pace the 
2020 field, leaving some Democratic strategists to question how she's 
positioned herself in the race. 
One Democratic strategist noted that she has pitched herself as both a 
progressive and a moderate, causing her to be viewed as "inauthentic." 
"I still don't think anyone really understands why she's running, "the strategist 
said, adding that she's come off as "inauthentic" due to her attempt to pitch 
herself as a progressive and a moderate. "And if you're running for president 
and you don't know why you're running, no one else will either." 
Facing the key moment in her campaign, Harris held three fundraisers over 
the weekend, including one on Martha's Vineyard where she impressed 
Democratic donors, according to one fundraiser who was in attendance. 
> Biden up with Iowa TV ad: As the former vice president begins a week 
of campaigning in New Hampshire this week, his team is spending money in 
Iowa, launching his campaign's first television ad there to target voters in 
Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Quad Cities and Sioux City markets, campaign 
manager Greg Schultz announced. The 60-second advertisement before 
Labor Day argues the country has been "battered by an erratic, vicious, 
bullying president" while Biden has the experience to bring "strong, steady, 
stable" leadership to the Oval Office. Images of former President Obama

> Warren apologizes (again): Warren waded back into the ancestry 
waters on Monday when she apologized to an audience of Native Americans 
for "harm I have caused" over her past claims of Native American ancestry, 
saying that it was a mistake on her end. 
Warren's remarks came from the outset of her address at a forum on Native 
American issues, where she pitched her newly-released policy plan aimed 
at those topics. 
"Now, before I go any further in this I want to say this: Like anyone who's 
been honest with themselves, I know that I have made mistakes, "Warren 
told the crowd. "I am sorry for harm I have caused. I have listened and I have 
learned a lot. And lam grateful for the many conversations that we've had 
together." 
"It is a great honor to be able to partner with Indian Country, and that's what 
I've tried to do as a senator, and that's what I promise I will do as president of 
the United States of America, "she said. 
The comments came after her decision late last year to release DNA results 
showing some Native American ancestry dating back six to 10 generations 
as she tried to put to bed accusations that she falsely claimed minority status 
for past employment. However, she has been questioned by some voters on 
the campaign trail about her decision and forced to apologize multiple times. 
None of this has stemmed attacks from Trump, who continues to derisively

IN FOCUS/SHARP TAKES 
WHITE HOUSE & ADMINISTRATION: The administration, which has been 
torn about how best to punish Chinese tech giant Huawei as a risk to the 
United States, announced on Monday it will again extend the deadline before 
U.S. businesses are required to cut ties with the company. "ft is another 90 
days for the U.S. telecom companies," Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross 
said on Fox Business Network. "Some of the rural companies are dependent 
on Huawei. So, we're giving them a little more time to wean themselves off. 
But there are no specific licenses being granted for anything." Nov. 19 is the 
new deadline for the penalty. Trump reaffirmed on Sunday his commitment 
to a complete ban on U.S. business with Huawei and said he believes the 
company poses a national security risk (The Hill). On Tuesday, Huawei said 
it does not expect to see any relief from U.S. sanctions but remains confident 
about company growth based on development of its own technology (The 
Associated Press). 
> Justice Department: Attorney General William Barr removed the acting 
head of the Bureau of Prisons, replacing the agency's top official in the wake 
of the pre-dawn suicide of inmate Jeffrey Epstein in his New York City cell.

> FEC: The chairwoman of the Federal Election Commission, Democrat 
Ellen Weintraub, sent Trump a letter on Saturday telling him there is no 
evidence of rampant voter fraud in 2016 or in any other U.S. election, 
suggesting he produce evidence of his claims of voter fraud or cease his 
repeated assertions of illegal voting. The president began making those 
accusations after he failed to win the popular vote in 2016. Trump 
subsequently put Vice President Pence in charge of a special commission 
to investigate allegations of election fraud, but the panel was quietly 
disbanded by the White House a year later without uncovering any evidence 
to back up Trump's statement that 3 to 5 million ballots were illegally cast for 
Clinton (The Associated Press). 
During a CNN interview, Weintraub said, "It is damaging to our democracy 
to spread information that ... is baseless. ... These are serious allegations ... 
but if there is no proof, then these things really shouldn't be said"(The Hill). 
> North Korea: The administration is extending a ban for another year on 
the use of U.S. passports for travel to North Korea. A State Department 
notice released Monday said the ban will remain in place until Aug. 31, 2020, 
unless revoked by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. The ban was imposed 
in 2017 by then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and renewed in 2018 (The 
Associated Press). 
> Venezuela: The United States, frustrated after unsuccessful international 
efforts to oust 
Maduro from power, has made secret contact with 
Diosdado Cabello, who is considered the most powerful man in Venezuela 
after Maduro (The Associated Press). ...Axios reported over the weekend 
that Trump spoke with military advisers about a potential naval blockade of 
Venezuela's coastline to enforce an international embargo. The president's 
idea was described as impractical because of the size of the area and too 
costly for the U.S. military at a time of competing priorities. 
> Iran: An Iranian tanker seized by Great Britain on July 4 was released on 
Monday and headed to Greece. Tehran warned against additional attempts 
to seize its tankers and accused the United States and its allies of trying to 
provoke a confrontation (Reuters). Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said it 
was "unfortunate" that the British Royal Marines released the tanker. 'These 
are oil profits, when this is ultimately sold somewhere into the market, that

will run back to Qasem Soleimani and the Iranian Quds force, their elite 
forces that have sown terror and destruction and killed Americans all around 
the world," Pompeo said during a Fox News interview. "If they're successful, 
they'll have more money, more wealth, more resources to continue their 
terror campaign, to continue their assassination campaign in Europe."

And finally ... All the world's a stage! Service dogs-in-training — poodles 
and golden retrievers who help humans with autism and post-traumatic 
stress disorder — last week attended a live theater performance in Canada 
of the hit musical "Billy Elliot" as part of the canine curriculum, and the photo 
of attentive pooches calmly watching the theatrics from their seats went viral. 
The point of the training is to help the dogs prepare to assist their humans 
wherever they may roam (Fox News). 
"All of the dogs were fantastic and remained relaxed throughout the 
performance. Some even watched through the cracks of the seats,"said 
Mackenzie, owner of K-9 Country Inn Working Service Dogs in 
Ontario. "The dogs loved the show almost as much as their handlers."
