that s a violation and a threat to freedom of speech and a threat to freedom of the media and to a free press. is that an impeachable act if he did it? i m not getting into what s an impeachable act. it s it s certainly an abuse of power. all right. thank you very much, chairman nadler. i appreciate your time, as always. you re welcome. and next, as congressman nadler digs in, intelligence committee chairman adam schiff says the mueller report just the bare minimum. could the nonstop investigations backfire on the democrats? plus, trump officials struggling to explain what trump meant when he said, very bluntly and directly, that he takes kim jong-un at his word that kim did not know about the horrific torture and death of american student, otto warmbier. when he says, i m going to take him at his word, it just it doesn t mean that he accepts it as reality. and we remember one of the stars from beverly hills 90201. luke perry, dead tonight at the very young age of 5
