WASHINGTON (AP) – The Latest on President Donald Trump (all times local):

6:15 a.m.

President Donald Trump says Republicans benefit as long as House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi remains in power.

In an interview with Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends” that aired Friday morning, Trump said of Pelosi: “I hope she doesn’t step down. It would be a very sad day for Republicans if she steps down.”

Trump, who spoke to the network Thursday at the White House, touted the recent Republican victory in a Georgia special election. Pelosi has been facing questions about her leadership since Democrats lost the hard-fought race.
