Undercover agents back. Fifa president sepp blatter once considered untouchable has announced hes stepping down. Good to have you with us tonight, folks. Thanks for watching. We start with breaking news on the way the nsa conducts surveillance. Moments ago, the Senate Passed the house version of the usa freedom act. The bill is now headed to president obamas desk and will probably be signed tonight.

To those that are angry, hurt or have their own experience

The president had lunch today with secretary mattis who one of these sources tells me maintains the most distance from trump and is, therefore, the most secure. The Washington Post is the vivid details of this disfunction based on interviews with 19 sources. They write, quote, the mood inside the white house in recent days has verged on mania as trump increasingly keeps his own counsel and senior aides struggle to determine the gradations between rumor and truth. The Washington Post offering a much fuller picture of mcmaster being on his way out. Trump is comfortable ousting mcmaster with whom he never gelled, but takes time executing the move because he wants to make sure the threestar army general is not humiliated and that there is a strong successor lined up.
