Reporter good morning, dan and cecilia, this white house is girding for battle this morning. They know that the first indictment is about to drop in the russia probe.

We won because of you. Reporter abc news has confirmed that a senior prosecutor from Robert Muellers office, who specializes in fraud cases, was at the federal courthouse in washington friday, where the grand jury was in session. Muellers team filed papers with the court. And sources tell abc news an arrest could come as soon as tomorrow. But who . The special counsels office declines to say. Abc news reached out to former Trump Campaign chair Paul Manaforts legal team. Who tell us mannafort has no indication that any charges against him could be imminent. We reached out to former National Security adviser mike flynns team. No response. The president himself has long dismissed the investigation as a politically motivated witch hunt. The whole russia thing was an excuse for the democrats. Losing the election and it turns out the be just one excuse. Reporter his allies are on the warpath. This weekend. Former Campaign DirectorCorey Lewandowski on fox friends. The speculation is so insane. What we should be focusing on are the continued lies of the clinton administration. Reporter roger stone took to twitter friday night to call out cnn reporters who broke to story. His language so derogatory, and in some cases, homophobic, that twitter suspended him. In an interview with the New York Times before news of the indictment broke, the white house lawyer said the president is not worried.

Good morning. Good morning. Give us perspective. We dont have much information. About who is going to be charged. How significant a development do these charges have the potential to be . It depends on who it is. I think youre right. We dont really know all that much right now. We know muellers been at work for five months. Reaching an indictment in that time is relatively quick. The fact that we dont know who it is when we find out who it is, that will reveal a lot more about muellers strategy. Is it someone close to the white house . Lower level . Perhaps mueller and his team hope to flip and get information on those higher up the chain . We just dont know the answer. What we do know is that mueller has hired a serious team of federal prosecutors. We know apparently that that first indictment will be announced tomorrow. That shows that this is a serious investigation. Likely to go on for some time. You know this. The white house, the president himself has long maintained this is a witch hunt. Its something we hear from him over and over again. How much longer can they, can he continue to use this line of defense . I dont think anything is going to stop the president from using that language all throughout the investigation, no matter what mueller finds. Although, the president , as you just reported, david wright just reported, his lawyers are saying, listen, he has nothing to worry about. His actions, however, say he has a lot to worry about. Beginning with his firing of james comey, which led to the appointment of special counsel mueller. The white house has a strategy of tarnishing the entire investigation. No matter what it finds. Which is why theyre raising a lot of questions about past actions of former secretary of state clinton and others in the obama administration. Theyre trying to muddy up the waters in that way, hoping to color whatever actions mueller takes. George, thank you very much. I want to remind everybody. George has a big show this morning. Hell speak with new Jersey Governor Chris Christie and congressman adam schiff. A member of the House Intelligence Committee about the latest in the russia investigation. Plus, the founder of the me, too, movement joins the show. All coming up on this week later this morning. George, thank you again. Definitely a big day in politics. We look forward to that show.
