While the president is there, his former personal lawyer will testify as to what he knows, a city in washington also consumed with anticipation over the release of whatever it is Robert Mueller has found out during the course of his russia investigation...

This is something he active ly. Mueller has agreed to appear before two house committees in public on tv to testify about the russia investigation. Mark your calendars. Democrats say their questions will go beyond what is in the Mueller Report even though mueller has already said he will only discuss what was already public. Overnight the president issued a new salvo about this move. Also developing this morning, the house voting to approve 4. 5 billion in aid for the humanitarian crisis at the ...

Says discussions are ongoing tonight about what the role will be. Muellers appearance before the lawmakers is clearly weighing in on the president s mind. Sources say hes had multiple phone calls about it with aides and allies, but hes more irritated than anxious. He even talked about it before a group of conservative student activists. Well talk about the breaking news and much more with the congressman of the Arm Services Committee and our analysts are standing by. First, lets bring in our sen...

Necessary. And fighting for the heroes. Jon stewart leads the fight for 9 11 First Responders on capitol hill again as they have to again permanent compensation for injured survivors all these years later as jon stewart has been advocating for years. I cant stress this enough. Why is it incumbent upon our First Responders to have to consistently push to get the benefits that are coming to them purely for their acts of valor in a wartime situation . This is insanity. Good day, everyone. Im Andrea...

Planning to gil one of trumps closest aides hope hicks. We have a lot of that when we get through the entire episode if you stay with us. We begin with a day that only comes once in a president s tenure, the day a sitting president announces a bid for reelection. This development itself is obviously not any kind of surprise. People knew donald trump was running again just like they knew obama was running again. Even in this untraditional era, this is actually a very traditional marker. It is a m...

Thorough investigation of the facts that the president clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we could so state. Based on the facts and the applicable legal standards, were unable to reach that judgment. Accordingly, while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him. This is what Robert Mueller intended to be his final word and it is not kind to President Trump. Yet, as we said, the president his defenders and attorney general have b...

His son for the first time and i think his son is 10 or 11 years old started hearing that in his school. And, you know, the president sets the tone for america. People are only as optimistic as your leader. Seldom more optimistic. And if you have leaders who divide us, they set the tone for a behavior. It should come as a surprise to no one weve seen a proliferation of hate crime activities in this country. As someone who forerly ran the Civil Rights Division i find that disturbing and not surpr...
