President trump is once again calling out democrats and others for their support of the special counsel in the alleged russian collusion during the 2016 election. That probe began one year ago today, one day after the president s lawyers said robert mueller, the special counsel, has acknowledged to them there can be no indictment. So on this anniversary, lets take a closer look at the mueller investigation, how it started, where it is right now and possibly where it is going. On twitter, President Trump welcomes of the country into the second year of what he calls the greatest witch hunt in American History adding, there is still no collusion with russia, only collusion by democrats. The president s lawyer went further. We are challenging the legitimacy of the entire investigation. Maybe a special counsel should have never been appointed based on an illegal leak. One year into the probe, new details emerged about its origin in the summer of 2016 and a major pivot by the fbi. We cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts. Three weeks after that email announcement, they launched an investigation codenamed cross fire hurricane. By early august 2016, according to text messages, fbi agent peter strzok later removed from the case went to the u. S. Embassy in london and interviewed a key witness. An investigative source confirmed to fox details first reported by the New York Times. The fbi first obtained phone records and other documents using secret National Security subpoenas. The times that there was at least one informant, and the president claimed in another tweet that the obama fbi spied on the Trump Campaign, and said, if true, its bigger than watergate. I havent spoken with him directly about that, but ive certainly seen the reports. If there is any truth to that, it should certainly be looked into. By august 2016, john brennan briefed then fbi director james comey as well as the Senate Minority leader harry reid. This letter from rita became one of the first public acknowledgments of the secret russia probe. In october, the fbi and Justice Department obtained the first surveillance warrant from Trump Campaign aide carter page. It was the socalled trump dossier. Two years since the fbi opened its investigation, the president s legal problems extended to michael cohen, with a new report that missing files motivated the leak of his financial records to the media.

Chief Congressional Correspondent mike emanuel tonight on the tactics in the strategy. Reporter there could not be a better time to take action to help more people join our workforce. Part of the house speakers pitch for support of a fiveyear farmville extension. But as g. O. P. Leaders try to round up the final votes to pass it, downstream caucuses trying to flex some muscle on immigration in exchange for support on the farm bill. The vast majority of our members believe we should have a vote on immigration before we have a vote on the farm bill. We were not able to convince any of our members to go from no to yes on the farm bill. So we will have further discussions tonight with leadership. At this point, there is no deal to be made. Reporter this comes as a moderate House Republicans are trying to force ryans hand on an immigration bill by being willing to work with democrats.

Rank and file, and even really more establishing those members that have in the House Democratic and republican side have come together on a bipartisan bill, that they have constructed, that they have gained support for, and that they have now made part of the discharge petition. Conservatives are not amused by moderates making this play at our signaling what they want. The idea of being something close to a Security First plan offered by judiciary chairman, bob goodlad. The fix is we have to keep compromising and find the sweet spot that will pass into law. Fox has learned that g. O. P.

Attorney general who has prosecuted him, and is a huge piece of the parties plan to hold on to u. S. Senate. Its a sad situation for our state. Attorney general josh holly wants to show voters that he is the best candidate to unseat veteran democratic senator Claire Mccaskill this fall. Hollys office led the investigation into speesixs case. He wrote in part, i will have my day in court, i will clear my name, as all faithful people know in time comes the of the truth. This after prosecutors dropped a felony invasion of privacy charge this week over a photo that greitens reportedly spoke of a woman with whom he had a an affair. The way i look at it as, i have a job to do as attorney general, i have a job to do on behalf of the people of the state and i will do my job. The chips will fall where they may. Holly, dubbed as the golden boy, one President Trumps endorsement and tells fox news hes doing his best to navigate his way through a tough time in Missouri Republican politics. I feel for all the families involved. I have a job to do as attorney general of the state and i will keep doing my job. Republicans are chomping at the bit.

A recent poll shows mccaskill and holly in a virtual tie. Mccaskill has a wellfunded war chest, with 11 million cash on hand compared to hollys 2 million. In a Critical Senate race that might determine control of the u. S. Senate, its yet to be seen how much of a thorn the governors drama will be in hollys
