Good Wednesday morning. Here are some of the stories making news in Washington and politics today. _____________________• On Oct. 18, 2017, President Trump took the time to sign a $35,000 check to Michael D. Cohen, his longtime lawyer and fixer who had made hush payments to prevent alleged sexual misconduct by Mr. Trump from being exposed before the 2016 presidential election. It was one of 11 occasions that Mr. Trump or his trust cut such checks, six of which were provided this week to the The Times. The resolution has started a furious generational debate between older House Democrats and their young, liberal counterparts.
