Ill be joined onset by democratic senator Michael Bennet whos poised to run for president. His first opponent he has to face is cancer. This will be his first tv interview since going public with his diagnosis and well have that later in the show. We begin tonight with the firestorm ignited by news reported by the new york times, then the Washington Post which a u. S. Official confirmed to nbc news. And its the following that some members of special counsel Robert Muellers team believe the attorney general downplayed the evidence against the president on obstruction. This is how the evidence against mr. Trump was characterized in all of these reports, which, by the way, are all based on anonymous sources. It was more damaging for the president than mr. Barr explained. To the post, it was alarming and significant and to us here at nbc news, it was compelling. But, folks, we preached caution when barr told us when the evidence meet. And were going to preach caution as well. We still have
If you recall. Adam schiff teased this last week. We do expect him to make a statement after the hearing wraps up, which we think is any minute now. And we were told the hearing had been wrapping up.

Cohens testimony comes as a source tells nbc news that cohen turned over new documents showing how his false 2017 testimony to congress about trump tower moscow was edited. And if these documents back up the claims cohen implied last week, that the president s lawyers made those edits, it could potentially implicate them in cohens false statements. One of the president s lawyers is denying that they altered a key part of his testimony. Were going to have a lot more on this developing story in a moment, along with some new jawdropping poll numbers in the wake of the cohen testimony. But for now, as we await mr. Cohen to the microphones, were going to be
Right now. Authorities say that she did make a credible threat. That she is extremely dangerous. But they have not offered details on the nature of that threat. They did make it clear, though, there was no threat made towards a specific school. Now, the fbi started to learn about all of this yesterday.

Dozens of schools made the decision to have what they call lockouts different than lockdowns where the threat is inside the school and lockout is the threat is outside the school. Business went on as usual inside. Overnight after School Districts discussed this closer, they decided out of an abundance of caution to cancel.
