time now for our great reporters to share a page from the notebook and tell us about an under the radar story in the year ahead. catherine, you're badding leadoff. >> in the first part of the year is the ongoing fight over president trump's efforts to keep his financial records private. there have been congressional and criminal subpoenas seeking records and the supreme court has agreed to hear cases relating to these expected to come in march. if these records -- if the courts rule against the president, this could have long-reaching implications for presidential power and also have an impact on the 2020 race. and the timing is significant because currently a ruling is expected to come in june. which is right at the height of the campaign. >> it is a good point. it is not just about president trump's records, it's about the precedence it sets as well with.
