Good morning, Washingtonians. Here’s what was happening this weekend: Michael Cohen changed his tune about the Access Hollywood tape story, the Manafort jury just wants to go home and party, Trump picked a fight with Andrew Cuomo on Twitter, and FLOTUS got really matchy-matchy with her Adidas Stan Smiths. Follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for more throughout the day.
Today’s free fitness class, by Kim Olsen:
Kick off the week with feel-good yoga at BicycleSpace, where a rotating roster of local instructors leads give-what-you-can classes at the downtown and Adams Morgan locations. Currently, funds benefit New Endeavors By Women, a DC nonprofit that provides housing, education, and employment opportunities to help homeless women achieve independent living. Arrive early (7:15 PM) as the class tends to fill up, and bring your own mat. 440 K St., NW and 2424 18th St., NW.
It’s a plan! Let’s catch up, shall we?
