|  President-elect Donald Trump today faces one final legal spectacle after a dizzying few years in the courts. | AP | TRUMP’S LAST LEGAL HURDLE — Ten days out from his inauguration, President-elect Trump today faces one final legal spectacle after a dizzying few years in the courts. At 9:30 a.m., he’ll be sentenced in New York City, finalizing his conviction on 34 felony charges stemming from falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to porn actress STORMY DANIELS. What should you expect? Not much. The judge in the case, Justice JUAN MERCHAN, has said that the “most viable solution” is likely an “unconditional discharge,” which would allow Trump to avoid any incarceration, probation or fine. But it does give Trump a historic distinction: He will become the first convicted felon to be sworn in as president. That’s only possible because yesterday, the Supreme Court declined to intervene on Trump’s behalf to halt the sentencing hearing. In a 5-4 vote, two of the court’s conservatives — Chief Justice JOHN ROBERTS and Justice AMY CONEY BARRETT — joined the court’s three liberals to issue a one-page order turning down Trump’s last-ditch attempt to avert the hearing, Josh Gerstein and Erica Orden write. Trump, afterward: “I read it, and I thought it was a fair decision, actually,” the president-elect said, even as he characterized the sentencing as being politically motivated. “I’ll do my little thing tomorrow. They can have fun with their political opponent.” TODAY’S OTHER BIG LEGAL STORY — At 10 a.m., the Supreme Court will hear arguments in TikTok’s attempt to block a law that would effectively ban the social media app nationwide on Jan. 19 unless it divests itself of its Chinese ownership. The “core question for the justices is whether the government’s judgments about the threat TikTok is said to pose are sufficient to overcome the nation’s commitment to free speech,” writes NYT’s Adam Liptak. TikTok’s argument: “The company and a group of TikTok creators say the sell-or-ban law is an unprecedented, sweeping violation of free-speech protections,” write WaPo’s Ann Marimow and Cristiano Lima-Strong. “Shuttering the platform, they say, would violate their First Amendment rights to share, view and engage with short video clips about politics, music, cooking, the arts and more.” The government’s argument: “ByteDance’s ownership and control of TikTok pose an unacceptable threat to national security because that relationship could permit a foreign adversary government to collect intelligence on and manipulate the content received by TikTok’s American users, even if those harms had not yet materialized,” Solicitor General ELIZABETH PRELOGAR wrote in a brief filed with the court. A potentially good sign for TikTok: “In recent years, the high court has tended to gingerly side with the social media behemoths that have come before it, delivering wins for the industry but leaving fundamental questions unresolved,” write CNN’s John Fritze and Devan Cole. A more likely bad sign for TikTok: “The Supreme Court has a long history of deferring to the other branches when questions of national security come up,” Fritze and Cole write. “A federal appeals court in early December unanimously concluded that the government established a need to force TikTok to split with its Chinese-based parent company, ByteDance, or comply with the ban.” That unanimous three-judge appeals court panel was an ideologically diverse mix of jurists that augurs poorly for the social media company’s odds with the high court, as it included SRI SRINIVASAN, whose name has frequently been in the mix as a potential Democratic appointee to the Supreme Court; NEOMI RAO, a Trump appointee and former Trump administration official; and DOUGLAS GINSBURG, who worked in RONALD REAGAN’s administration before being appointed to the court in 1986. SCOOP: TRUMP’S FEMA FRONTRUNNER — As wildfires rage in California, Trump is looking to Florida to find the new head of the agency tasked with responding to disasters — one that is frequently a target of his ire. Trump’s team is eyeing Florida Division of Emergency Management Executive Director KEVIN GUTHRIE to lead the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA, according to two people familiar with the president-elect’s transition. “That’s their leading candidate,” one of the people, granted anonymity to discuss the administration’s plans, told Playbook. This person added that Trump had not yet interviewed Guthrie. The position is a crucial one: in addition to the fires in Los Angeles County, which will consume tens of billions of dollars in federal disaster aid, western North Carolina is still recovering from Hurricane Helene — the devastating storm that struck during the fall and claimed more than 200 lives. If selected, Guthrie would be the latest in a long line of Floridians tapped for major Trump administration roles, and the second Florida emergency management official picked for the top FEMA job in the last 15 years. More from Adam Wren, Daniel Lippman, Arek Sarkissian and Gary Fineout Happy Friday. Thanks for reading Playbook, and congrats to Notre Dame on making it to the national championship game. Who are you rooting for tonight: the Texas Longhorns or Ohio State Buckeyes? Drop us a line: Eugene Daniels and Adam Wren.

A senior administration official says that Biden will “describe how we reclaimed America’s global leadership as a force of stability, put our adversaries in a position of weakness, effectively navigated turbulence around the world and … how he will hand the next administration a stronger hand than he inherited.” THE PLAYBOOK INTERVIEW: MICHAEL FROMAN — Who among us started the week thinking that the president-elect wanting to buy Greenland would be the big story? Or taking back the Panama Canal? Or renaming the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America”? Or eyeing Canada as the potential “51st state”? We know what you’re thinking: Is Trump really going to do this? Surely he must be trolling. Well, maybe not. Maybe there’s a method to his madness — some clear goals and a few bedrock principles guiding them. That just might be the case, according to Michael Froman, the president of the Council on Foreign Relations.

| For this week’s episode of Playbook Deep Dive, we sat down with Froman for a look at the international scene Trump is shaping even before he takes office, the strategy driving some of his more outlandish comments and how the rest of the world makes sense of America at this moment of transition. Listen to the full episode on Apple Podcasts or Spotify FIRST IN PLAYBOOK: WALZ BACKS HOGG — DAVID HOGG, the young progressive activist and survivor of the 2018 school shooting in Parkland, Florida, has picked up a major endorsement in his campaign for DNC vice chair: Minnesota Gov. TIM WALZ. In a statement to Playbook, the 2024 Democratic VP nominee praised Hogg’s “unique ability to connect with the American people and to speak to the strengths of our party. This is exactly what we need right now: experienced, thoughtful and energized leadership that meets people where they are and takes bold action to win. I couldn’t be happier to throw my support behind him and his vision for the party, and I look forward to working with him every step of the way.” FOR YOUR RADAR — “Appeals court muddles timing of release for Jack Smith’s final report,” by Kyle Cheney and Josh Gerstein
| | | | A message from Meta:   | | | | | WHAT'S HAPPENING TODAY | | On the Hill The Senate and House are out. 3 things to watch …
- The Laken Riley Act is prologue: While the speed of the Democratic Party’s shift on immigration earned much attention this week, Republicans — buoyed by the success of their push on Laken Riley Act — are already eyeing what’s next, Daniella Diaz reports. The focus is on those immigration bills that passed the House on bipartisan terms last Congress before being blocked in the Senate — which was, of course, under Dem control then but is now firmly Republican. Four proposals to watch: (1) A bill from Rep. NICK LaLOTA (R-N.Y.) to withhold federal funding from so-called sanctuary cities; (2) a bill from Rep. ANDREW GARBARINO (R-N.Y.) that would make the assault of a law enforcement officer a deportable offense; (3) a bill from Rep. NANCY MACE (R-S.C.) that would make sexual and domestic violence deportable offenses; and (4) a bill from Rep. JUAN CISCOMANI (R-Ariz.) that would create new criminal and immigration penalties for intentionally fleeing law enforcement while operating a motor vehicle.
- Decision time for DeWine: Congrats to BERNIE MORENO on becoming Ohio’s senior senator after just one week on the job. At the stroke of midnight, VP-elect JD VANCE’s resignation from the U.S. Senate became official, opening up a vacancy in deep-red Ohio that will be filled by whomever Gov. MIKE DeWINE picks. Republicans have a deep bench in the state, and any number of pols would love to take the seat. The Columbus Dispatch recently reported that Lt. Gov. JON HUSTED is the early frontrunner, with the caveat that he seems more drawn to state politics and potentially running for governor. Other names in the mix, per NBC’s Henry Gomez, include former Ohio GOP chair JANE TIMKEN, state Rep. JAY EDWARDS and Treasurer ROBERT SPRAGUE. We’ll be watching to see whether Trump anoints a preferred candidate (there’s always VIVEK RAMASWAMY), and whether that has any sway on DeWine, who, while a rock-ribbed Republican, is not exactly in the MAGA mold.
- What California Dems are worried about: As wildfires rage in southern California, Golden State Dems worry that Trump is going to tie up disaster aid — which, even if approved right now, is not going to flow to the state to any meaningful degree until Trump is sworn in, Mia McCarthy writes. But Democrats aren’t sounding any alarms yet, and are hopeful that their GOP colleagues in the state’s delegation will be ready to help, especially Reps. YOUNG KIM and DOUG LaMALFA.
At the White House Biden will receive the President’s Daily Brief at 10 a.m. At 11:30, he will hold a briefing on the full federal response to the wildfires across Los Angeles. VP KAMALA HARRIS will attend.

Fire crews battle the Kenneth Fire in the West Hills section of Los Angeles, Thursday, Jan. 9, 2025. | Ethan Swope/AP Photo | THE LATEST ON CALIFORNIA — As California continues to fight the devastating fires that have savaged much of the southern part of the state, here’s a snapshot of the latest toll from the L.A. Times: “Ten people have died, more than 9,000 structures have been damaged or destroyed, and at least 130,000 residents are under evacuation orders. Experts say L.A. is not out of danger yet and that these fires have the potential to be the costliest wildfire disaster in American history.” In Washington, lawmakers are watching the situation closely and anticipating that disaster aid may have to wait until mid-March, when Congress faces the next government funding deadline, Katherine Tully-McManus reports, with House Majority Leader STEVE SCALISE ruling it out of the reconciliation bill. “You’ve got to wait until the disaster is over. It's clearly not yet, and you've got to give them time to do the estimate,” House Appropriations Chair TOM COLE (R-Okla.) added. In a briefing yesterday at the White House, Biden said the federal government will cover “100 percent of all the costs” to fight the fires ravaging the Los Angeles area, though he admitted he wasn’t sure if the incoming Trump administration would continue that, per Melanie Mason. Harris has canceled an overseas trip to Singapore, Bahrain and Germany in order to assist with the recovery efforts in her home state, per Bloomberg’s Josh Wingrove.

Susie Wiles has pledged to run a tight ship in the coming Trump administration. | Andrew Harnik/AP | WORTH WILES — SUSIE WILES has pledged to run a tight ship in the coming Trump administration. In a fresh new profile of the Trump hand, NYT’s Elisabeth Bumiller details the steps she is taking to set herself up for success in a post that saw high turnover the first go-round. Aiming high: “She has told Mr. Trump that it is her intention, at least, to stay all four years as chief of staff. ‘This job is not guaranteed,’ she said. ‘But I’m going to try my best and give it everything I have.’” Her typical day: Wiles “begins her days at 7:30 a.m. in the West Palm Beach transition headquarters. But by 2 p.m. she has typically parked herself a few feet from Mr. Trump for a daily five-hour marathon in his office, the former Mar-a-Lago bridal suite,” Bumiller writes. “‘The president is a night owl and I’m an early bird, so the sweet spot is 2 to 7,’ she said in a recent interview.” How her career prepared her: “She last worked in the federal government in Washington more than four decades ago as a 23-year-old White House scheduler and then at the Labor Department when [JAMES BAKER] — she still calls him ‘Mr. Baker’ — was chief of staff. She is a new student of foreign and national security policy in a job of cascading international crises. ‘Heck, yeah,’ she said when asked if she was nervous about the job.” Wiles, 67, will be the first woman to hold the position of White House chief of staff. More top reads:
- Trump aides have “spent recent months trying to find the right disease” that would justify closing down the border, NYT’s Zolan Kanno-Youngs and Hamed Aleaziz report. “They have looked at tuberculosis and other respiratory diseases as options and have asked allies inside the Border Patrol for examples of illnesses that are being detected among migrants. They also have considered trying to rationalize Title 42 by arguing broadly that migrants at the border come from various countries and may carry unfamiliar disease — an assertion that echoes a racist notion with a long history in the United States that minorities transmit infections.”
- A progressive watchdog group is urging New York election officials to “investigate whether ROBERT F. KENNEDY JR. committed voter fraud by casting his November ballot from a discredited address,” AP’s Michael Hill reports.
- Trump has tapped Fox News contributor LEO TERRELL to serve as senior counsel to the assistant attorney general for civil rights in the Justice Department, per Myah Ward. Trump also announced that former Nevada Senate candidate SAM BROWN would be taking a position at the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Rep. Sarah McBride (D-Del.) is teaming up with a Republican to introduce a new bill. | Francis Chung/POLITICO | A DIFFERENT KIND OF MESSAGING BILL — Rep. SARAH McBRIDE (D-Del.) today will become the first freshman Democrat to introduce a bill in the new Congress. What’s perhaps more notable is that she’s teaming up with a Republican to do it, NOTUS’ Oriana Gonzalez reports. “The new bill, the Ending Scam Credit Repair Act, seeks to crack down on ‘fraudulent practices’ from companies that ‘deceive consumers with high fees and empty promises’ to fix their credit scores, per a press release shared first with NOTUS. “McBride introduced the bill with California Republican Rep. Young Kim. In a statement to NOTUS, McBride said that ‘in a diverse democracy, we have to be willing to work with people we may sometimes — or even often — disagree with.’” More top reads:
- House Judiciary Chair JIM JORDAN told our colleague Hailey Fuchs that his committee will continue its probe into the criminal investigation of HUNTER BIDEN even after President Biden leaves office. “Jordan implied his panel could begin with bringing in DAVID WEISS, the Trump-appointed special counsel who ultimately recommended to the Justice Department that Hunter Biden be convicted of federal gun charges and tax evasion.”
- Sen. JOHN FETTERMAN (D-Pa.) has accepted an invitation from Trump to meet with the president-elect at Mar-a-Lago, set to become the first sitting Democratic senator to do so since the election, CBS’ Major Garrett, Jennifer Jacobs, Ed O'Keefe and Allyson Ross-Taylor report. “I think it's pretty reasonable that if the president would like to have a conversation — or invite someone to have a conversation — to have it,” Fetterman said.
- “Is this AOC’s moment?” by WaPo’s Leigh Ann Caldwell and Paul Kane: “[W]ith the 119th Republican-led Congress gaveled in and Trump headed back to the White House this month, Democrats say it’s possible that Ocasio-Cortez, a common Republican foil, can leverage her national influence to become a leader in the party if she continues to build goodwill inside the Capitol.”
- Rep. PRAMILA JAYAPAL (D-Wash.) sat down with The 19th’s Grace Panetta to reflect on her tenure as chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, a post from which she is stepping down to make way for the next generation.
