THE LEAD STORY: The latest intercontinental ballistic missile launched by North Korea is "significantly more" powerful than the previous ICBM and puts the entire United States mainland in its crosshairs, state television said ... North Korea has now test-launched three intercontinental ballistic missiles in its history. Tuesday’s launch was the first since the rogue nation fired an intermediate range missile in September. The latest missile flew 1,000 miles higher than during the first ICBM launch in July. President Trump vowed to “take care of ” the latest North Korea threat and pointed to the missile launch to generate support for avoiding a potential government shutdown.

PRESSURE ON CONYERS TO RESIGN: U.S. Rep. John Conyers is faces new pressure from fellow Democrats to resign as more allegations of sexual misconduct surface ... U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., was the second Democratic lawmaker to call on Conyers to step down after his former deputy chief of staff alleged Conyers made unwanted advances toward her. Jayapal said in a statement that while she had looked up to Conyers for decades, "I believe these women, I see the pattern and there is only one conclusion – Mr. Conyers must resign." Jayapal joined Rep. Kathleen Rice, D-N.Y., as the only two lawmakers who have said Conyers should resign from Congress. Meanwhile, the 88-year-old congressman missed two roll call votes in the House on Tuesday evening and was photographed by a passenger boarding a Delta Airlines flight to Detroit.

TRUMP SEEKS 'DEEP STATE' PROBE: President Trump called for a closer look into a former intelligence committee watchdog's claims to Fox News that Hillary Clinton's campaign had a "strategic coordination" with the State Department to play down the presence of classified information on her private email server ... "Charles McCullough, the respected [former] Intel Comm Inspector General, said the public was misled on Crooked Hillary Emails," Trump tweeted. "'Emails endangered National Security.' Why aren’t our Deep State authorities looking at this? Rigged & corrupt?" In an exclusive interview with Fox News, former Intelligence Community Inspector General Charles McCullough III said he suffered "personal blowback" over his pursuit of the email investigation. McCullough claimed the Clinton campaign put out word that he would be fired if the Democratic nominee won last year's presidential election.
