Next. >> reporter: yeah, wolf right here in the senate debate. were seeing republicans and democrats jockeying back and forth about what will happen next. they are scheduled to have a vote on the repeal only bill, one that they expect will actually go down, wont have the votes to move forward, but they made promises to their members about why they will have that vote. in order for amendments to only have a simple majority threshold, they need to comply with budget rules and those rules are prett...

That is really the norm with this legislation. and to get a criminal prosecution, you have to show a willfulness and that the person was being directed by a foreign government. thats a pretty high threshold to cross which is why there are several penalties. thank you. >> jon: more on russian investigations, lets bring in our legal panel. jared kirchner says that hes new to politics, got an email from his brother-in-law about a meeting with the russians. thats his version of events.

♪if only harry used some... ♪...bounce, to dry. ♪yeah! ♪he would be a less wrinkly, and winning at life.♪ that does it for us tonight, well see you again tomorrow. we are just checking in on that vote that was happening in the united states senate, it was the republicans first effort to try to repeal the affordable care act. they needed 60 votes. they did not get anywhere near it. they got 43 votes of the first effort that they took. they did not get anywhere close. they are expectin...

>> thats right, yasmin. it would be an incredibly difficult confirmation fight for president trump to get a new attorney general to push through the senate. even before that it would be difficult, i think, for him to find a replacement for attorney general jeff sessions, you remember after he fired james comey, his fbi director, it took more than a month to find someone to accept the position especially after a few of his top picks turned down the role. yes, it would be a very difficult fight, t...

Voted to begin the debate. i thank the president, his administration and our friends in the house for the roles that they have played. now we have to keep working hard. were determined to do everything we can to succeed. we know our constituents are counting on us. well work through an open amendment process. i know members in both parties have health care ideas theyd like to offer. if youve got one, bring it to the floor. last night the senate considered a comprehensive obamacare repeal and rep...

This would require 60 votes. theres no way theyre going to get 60 votes on anything, as far as we can tell. this is the first vote tonight, well short of the 50 votes theyd need but we think this will be the first of several votes, maybe three votes over the course of tonight, maybe into tomorrow in which theyll take various different shots at trying to get rid of obamacare. again, a 60-vote threshold for this one so it wont pass but they are voting already and all eyes on the senate with tens o...

Commentator, worked with john kasich in this election. he said this, he tweeted we are witnessing abuse of power, threatening prosecutors if they dont prosecute. he says this has reached the level of abuse of power with the president over the sessions thing. do you think it has? >> its certainly walking up to that door if it hasnt already crossed the threshold of it. this is why we were talking about whether mueller views it as obstruction of justice or paul ryan and his team of republicans in t...

Mitch mcconnell will lay out whats going forward. the strategy, leadership circulating a proposal based on if they are able to pass this procedural vote today and move to debate the order of amendments as they would come. hoping, this presented at a easy cloed-door lunch here in about 45 minutes, basically giving every senator at least a shot at what they want. vote on the 2015 repeal-only bill. likely expected to fail. then a third iteration of the senate draft that failed two times prior, with...

Order your kit now at ancestrydna.com. chart imitates life. okay. check this out. this is people running for congress. ably f-- blue for democrats. red for republicans. these are not incumbents. theres actually a threshold you have to pass to get onto this chart. this shows people who have filed formal campaign papers with the fec and people who have raised more than $5,000 by june 30th the year before whatever election they were going for. so this is people who are in it, who are running a se...

That he just wants to take this passive aggressive approach to kind of alien nate him and push him out of the office. the you have to consider jeff sessions gave up a very safe senate seat. he could have had that for life essentially, to take this job as attorney general, its a job he cares passionately about. i think theres a going to be a high threshold to push him out of this job. you have to imagine its very frustrating for him at this moment. hes one of the cabinet members cast with a huge ...
