NEW: Former Attorney General Bill Barr was spotted on Capitol Hill today. He wouldn’t say why he was here. And he didn’t want to talk about President Trump’s recent election integrity comments when I asked about them.

New: Speaker Johnson told me he doesn’t think Bill Pulte’s appointment as acting DNI needs to be dropped to pass a FISA extension. “I don’t think that’s a necessary requirement of passing FISA, and anybody that equates those two things is playing with a dangerous situation.”

As a group of House Dems stormed Speaker Johnson’s office demanding Adelita Grijalva be sworn in, Rep. Nanette Barragán (D-Calif.) was seen yelling at a USCP officer. She claimed to me after that the officer “grabbed her.” She said she plans to have a call with a USCP supervisor about it. Video of the incident below. “They should not be accosting members of Congress,” Barragán told me.

NEW: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas just walked through the House side of the Capitol. He didn’t say why he was here. But told me he was meeting with “nobody.” I said tomorrow will be a big day at the court. “I guess so,” he responded. Would he give a sneak peak of decisions? “Nope,” he told me with a chuckle.

NEW: Speaker Johnson tells me he’s “deeply disappointed” the Senate approved the Epstein files bill without making changes. He said he spoke to Trump about it tonight: “We both have concerns,” Johnson said. I asked if Trump may veto it: “I’m not saying that. I don’t know.”

NEW: Sen. Bernie Sanders told me he’s “certainly not” rethinking his endorsement of Graham Platner following news that he sent sexually explicit text messages to women. “My understanding is that his wife, Amy, who I've met, indicated they love each other, but maybe we focus on the issues facing the American people, the people of Maine, and not the marriage issues facing Graham Platner.”

Massie to me last week, hours after he lost re-election: Q: But you wouldn't rule out another political campaign? MASSIE: "I wouldn't rule out that at all." Q: For Congress or president? MASSIE: "Or governor, or anything. I wouldn't rule out city council."

NEW: Speaker Johnson just told me he believes the 6 Democrats who participated in the disobey illegal orders video *should* be indicted. Comes after a grand jury rejected the attempt by federal prosecutors. “I think that anytime you're obstructing law enforcement and getting in the way of these sensitive operations, it's a very serious thing, and it probably is a crime. And, yeah, they probably should be indicted.”

Rep. Adriano Espaillat first endorsed Cuomo for NYC mayor, but after the primary, he backed Mamdani. Yet Mamdani still endorsed against Espaillat in the #NY13 primary. Minutes after Espaillat conceded, I asked what his message was to the mayor:

Speaker Johnson says “we’ll look at” guaranteeing Dems a vote on ACA subsidies — which Thune said he’s offered — if Dems reopen the government. “If they will reopen the government we’ll look at that but that's not what they’re asking of us, they want us to guarantee an outcome and it cannot be done as I’ve just explained. We have to have time to process that.”

New: GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski told me the second strike on the alleged drug boat in the Caribbean does not comply with the rules of war — and she has concerns. “I think most would say that when you have two individuals that are literally floating in the water, a second order to kill them all is not something that we would consider within the rules of war,” Sen. Lisa Murkowski said.

Quite the scene in the Capitol right now… Members of the Democratic Women’s Caucus marched through the Capitol and to Speaker Johnson’s office with Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, demanding that she be sworn in. They have signs and chanted “swear her in” throughout the Capitol. “Swear me in, Speaker Johnson,” Grijalva said outside Johnson’s office.
