Trump Goes Nuclear
Trump Tweets U.S. 'Must Greatly Strengthen' Nuclear Capabilities
President-elect Donald Trump tweeted Thursday that the U.S. "must greatly strengthen and expand" its nuclear capabilities without offering immediate context to what prompted the declaration, writes ABC's ALEXANDER MALLIN. Trump said the expansion and strengthening must happen "until such time as the world comes to its sense regarding nukes." The Trump transition team did not immediately respond to ABC News' requests for further comment on whether Trump was advocating an expansion of the U.S. nuclear arsenal or modernization as he advocated on the campaign trail.http://abcn.ws/2hZqToX

With Trump Business Conflict Looming Deutsche Bank Settles Mortgage Crisis Lawsuit
The German banking giant Deutsche Bank has agreed to a $7.2 billion settlement in principle with the U.S. Department of Justice over its role in the late-2000s mortgage crisis, the bank said in a statement on Thursday night, heading off what critics said would be a major conflict of interest with one of its big borrowers – President-elect Donald Trump, ABC's MATTHEW MOSK reports. The agreement, if finalized, would allow the bank to resolve one of two major legal issues it has faced with the U.S. government, but likely won't silence critics who continue to call for a special prosecutor to take over the case. "Despite this settlement, the criminal investigation of Deutsche Bank and culpable individuals must continue – and it should be done by independent counsel," Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) told ABC News. "Only an independent counsel can investigate and prosecute vigorously and impartially, in light of conflicts of interest created by the enormous debt owed by Donald Trump to the bank." http://abcn.ws/2hfYJ7I

Republicans Seeking Immediate Cuts to Social Security? Not So Fast
A story about Republicans' seeking to cut Social Security benefits by up to 50 percent has been gaining traction on Facebook. The Dec. 9 story on the liberal-leaning website New Century Times was flagged by Facebook users as being potentially false. ABC News looked into it, and this is what we found. The headline itself -- "Leaked! Republicans Looking To Cut Social Security As Much As 50% Immediately (Details)" – is misleading, ABC's MARYALICE PARKS explains why: http://abcn.ws/2hMFuDD
