1) From ABC News, I’m Lynda Lopez. Pack your bags and your patience.
It’s a getaway day. “Hundreds of thousands of passengers expected to come to
Chicago’s O’Hare Airport Wednesday with
a forecast to be the second busiest travel day of the Thanksgiving Day holiday.
These fliers are headed to Florida, Florida for warmer weather there, warmer
weather, family.” “Seattle.” “Seattle? What’s in Seattle?” “Ah, my sons.” “Karbo.”
“Karbo?” “Yah, for wedding.” Most of these fliers sounded they purposely got
here early to get themselves plenty of time to get through these crowded
security lines. The biggest issue later today though, maybe the weather, wind gust
could hit 60 miles an hour. Ryan Burrow, ABC News, Chicago.
2)
The White House is considering an invitation from the House Judicially
Committee for the President or his attorney to appear at next week’s
impeachment hearing. “The White House calls the impeachment inquiry an illegitimate
sham partisan process, but still it’s reviewing the letter from House Judiciary
Chairman Jerry Nadler that invited
the President to the committee’s first impeachment hearing next week. It’s an
academic exercise with legal experts testifying about high crimes and
misdemeanors. President Trump is scheduled to be out of town, but the White
House has until December 1st to tell the committee whether it would send a representative.”
ABC’s Aaron Katersky.

forthcoming.” Three suspects have been arrested.
5)

was 87.

“I’m
Maria Bartiromo and this is the Fox Business Report.”
On
Wall Street, stocks closing in a record territory for the third straight day
ahead of the Thanksgiving break. The Dow was at all-time high, adding 42 to
close at 28,164. The NASDAQ climbing to 57, S&P is up 13. // Forget the
turkey. Wine and cheese prices could soon be on the rise amid the potential trade
battle with France. At issue, the French government imposed taxes on big tech companies
including Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple. Now the U.S. is looking to respond
by sticking French products with new tariffs. // Americans will be paying about
the same for a Thanksgiving dinner this year as they did in 2018. The American
Farm Bureau Federation estimates the cost for dinner for 10 will be about $48.91.
That’s just a penny higher this year than it was last. Annual survey conducted
by volunteer shoppers in 38 states. That’s your Fox Business Report. I’m Tom Graham, invested in news.
