Welcome to another edition of FT Now! We hope your week is going better than New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy’s! (More on that later). In Missouri, state auditor and Democrat gov candidate Nicole Galloway is in some hot water for allegedly trying to use taxpayer funds to dig up dirt on a Republican senator. President Trump signed a historic new trade deal, though you may have missed it in all the anti-Trump impeachment coverage. Last but not least, Gov. Murphy may have been less than truthful about allegations of sexual misconduct on his 2017 campaign. Read below for more!

| Missouri Democrat Nicole Galloway Facing Investigation For Playing Politics On The Taxpayer Dime |
| What Happened: |
| Missouri State Auditor and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Nicole Galloway is being investigated for allegedly using her taxpayer-funded office to target a Republican senator. |
| Why You Should Care: |
| If Galloway is willing to use this office to go after a political opponent, what will she do if she’s elected governor? |
| What Happens Next: |
| The House Oversight Committee said in a letter that if the allegations are true, they "would constitute an extreme breach in the confidence the people of Missouri" place in the office of auditor. Only time will tell! |

| Trump Signs USMCA, Paving Way for Job Market Boom |
| What Happened: |
| On Wednesday, President Trump signed the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement - the second major trade deal secured by the Trump Administration this year. |

| What Happens Next: |
| As Texas Gov. Greg Abbott put it, the USMCA will "usher in a new era of economic prosperity for our nation..." |

| New Report Exposes NJ Gov. Phil Murphy’s Campaign Harassment Scandal |
| What Happened: |
| A bombshell report in New Jersey appears to put Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy in a corner when it comes to his past statements about allegations of sexual misconduct on his 2017 campaign. |
| Why You Should Care: |
| It appears that one of the four women making the allegations against the Murphy campaign has "black and white" evidence that directly contradicts the governor’s claim that no one on his campaign sought to silence women from speaking out. As Tom Moran at the Star-Ledger wrote, "Murphy has said, over and over, that women who worked on his campaign are free to talk… But Roginsky revealed an email showing that is simply not true." |
| What Happens Next: |
| : For now, it seems that Gov. Murphy is continuing to double down on his previous false statements... |
