Enjoy the embarrassing spectacle of liberals begging Mitt Romney and Susan Collins to "do the right thing" by supporting some trivial procedural maneuver that no one will remember in two months— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) January 21, 2020

At 2:31pm local, pool entered a narrow conference room for POTUS’ bilat with the new European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
POTUS was flanked by Wilbur Ross, Robert Lighthizer, Robert O’Brien and Larry Kudlow. He briefly thanked Von der Leyen, remarking at one point that he’s heard she’s “a very tough negotiator.”
“We’re going to talk about a good trade deal. We’ll be discussing other things also,” he said.
Von der Leyen said she was looking forward to getting to work with POTUS, and described Americans and Europeans as “good friends.”
POTUS responded to one shouted question about supporting a motion to dismiss as his impeachment trial gets underway in the Senate: “That whole thing is a hoax.”
Poop was ushered out at 2:36pm. Please check quotes against transcript.
