Congress is out, and we're seeing a lot of out-of-office messages pop up. But we expect President Donald Trump's decision this week on the Paris climate accords. In the last few days, Trump administration officials have publicly and privately predicted the president is open to remaining a part of the climate deal, will absolutely pull out of the agreement and will attempt to renegotiate the accord. THERE IS NOT MUCH on President Donald Trump's public schedule today -- just lunch with Vice President Mike Pence at 12:30 p.m. Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc is slated to meet with President Donald Trump Wednesday at the White House. Vietnam Airlines flight number 1 -- a Boeing 787 -- is scheduled to land at Andrews Air Force Base today at 3:05 p.m. from New York. The plane is scheduled to leave Andrews at 9:10 p.m. Wednesday for Frankfurt. http://bit.ly/2riGeVD SPOTTED -- COREY LEWANDOWSKI on Memorial Day at Peet's Coffee across from the White House, "suitcase in hand," per our tipster. AND THERE'S MORE ... MATT ROSENBERG, MARK MAZZETTI and MAGGIE HABERMAN on NYT, A1-"Investigation Turns to Kushner's Motives in Meeting With a Putin Ally": "Jared Kushner, the president's son-in-law and senior adviser, was looking for a direct line to President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia -- a search that in mid-December found him in a room with a Russian banker whose financial institution was deeply intertwined with Russian intelligence, and remains under sanction by the United States. "Federal and congressional investigators are now examining what exactly Mr. Kushner and the Russian banker, Sergey N. Gorkov, wanted from each other. The banker is a close associate of Mr. Putin, but he has not been known to play a diplomatic role for the Russian leader. That has raised questions about why he was meeting with Mr. Kushner at a crucial moment in the presidential transition, according to current and former officials familiar with the investigations." http://nyti.ms/2r6Ak9T INSIDE THE WEST WING -- WAPO A1, "How President Trump consumes -- or does not consume -- top-secret intelligence," by Phil Rucker and Ashley Parker (print headline: "Serving intelligence to Trump in small bites"): "President Trump consumes classified intelligence like he does most everything else in life: ravenously and impatiently, eager to ingest glinting nuggets but often indifferent to subtleties. Most mornings, often at 10:30, sometimes earlier, Trump sits behind the historic Resolute desk and, with a fresh Diet Coke fizzing and papers piled high, receives top secret updates on the world's hot spots. The president interrupts his briefers with questions but also with random asides. He asks that the top brass of the intelligence community be present, and he demands brevity. "As they huddle around the desk, Trump likes to pore over visuals -- maps, charts, pictures and videos, as well as 'killer graphics,' as CIA Director Mike Pompeo phrased it. ... Though career intelligence analysts often take the lead in delivering them, Trump likes his political appointees - Pompeo and [DNI Daniel] Coats - to attend, along with national security adviser H.R. McMaster. Pompeo and Coats, whose offices are in McLean, Va., have had to redesign their daily routines so that they spend many mornings at the White House. Vice President Pence usually attends, while other administration principals join depending on the topic of the day, including Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and Homeland Security
