The way wolff tried to explain it, there seemed to be nothing to it. it was unfortunate she had to come out and address it at all. hopefully people put that to bed. thank you very much. thanks, brian. tomorrow night, a big night for the president, delivering his first state of the union address. during his inaugural address, we heard a darker tone, american carnage. that was then. followed by a more uplifting message before a joint session of congress. what will tomorrow night bring? first, re...

Steve bannon told the house intelligence committee that he discussed the meetings with sean spicer, reince priebus, and with legal spokesman mark carralo. bannon has agreed to be interviewed by federal prosecutors and for now avoid the grand jury. why might this be significant? >> one, the simple point that bannon refused to answer any other questions about his time in the white house but he did answer, whether it was a slip-up or not about, the trump tower meeting. in the wolff book, banning de...
