president felt about jeff sessions and he put it out there for us and we learned about what happened behind closed doors, there was some concern about not firing the attorney general because could that then lead to objection charges? like could it lead us down that road? that doesn't seem to be a concern anymore. >> what i found remarkable about reporting by politico is that people around the white house figure if special counsel mueller is building an obstruction of justice case, oh, well, he's already done it, it's been in the open. he fired comey and said it was about russia and other examples where he's seen as interfering so if he fired sessions, oh, well, big whoop. which i think is quite an assessment. but what's striking is that he's beginning to sway senators who said months ago they would never support the confirmation of another attorney general. that they didn't have time and it wasn't the place. we know there are still stall
>> thank you. a full court press, the president's private and intense push to get republican senators to flip on jeff sessions. is it working? plus the sheriff calling it a classic stand your ground case after an uber driver shoots and kills a man who threatened him. dash cam video captures those key moments. and former vice president joe biden will pay tribute to his friend senator john mccain. cnn has those details for you. for years i've trained dogs for the marines - like me, some of these dogs have seen many tours of duty. and for the past 15 years i've been a navy federal member. thanks to their fast approval process, when it came time to buy a new car, we got everything we needed to transport my wife's little bundle of joy... ... who i just adore. open to the armed forces, the dod, veterans and their families. navy federal credit union.
ward supporters telling jeff sessions to hang on but increasingly they're making it clear, senators graham and grassley that on criminal justice reform and the immigration family separation issue, a whisper campaign that that was jeff sessions's fault and it was not the tacit approval of president trump which from reporting it seems like there was so they are building a case to dump him. what's remarkable 1 that they would led democratic voters know that eight weeks before the midterms. it looks like an energizing campaign message for democrats. >> and gasly is saying i can open up the calendar, we have space to deal with confirmation hearings. there is also a question about whether the distraction is perhaps part of what we're seeing from some of these republicans, fatigue with the distraction that is the jeff sessions situation and trying to get things done and all of the space that it seems to be occupying and oxygen it seems to be sucking out of the room for
ground. according to authorities, an uber driver was justified to shoot and kill a man who stormed his car and threatened him. in the dash cam video, you can see the man, jason bowic cutting off the uber with his truck. boek thought his girlfriend was a passenger in the uber. the two just got into a heating text exchange. diane gallagher joins with us more details. >> the sheriff calling this "justifiable homicide all day long." stand your ground laws are controversial when it comes to killings across this nation, particularly when we're talking about florida's version but this is what we know about this case, after a fight with his on again/off again girlfriend jason boek followed an uber he thought was driving her home. texts show he threatened the girlfriend and the uber driver and that dash cam video from the uber shows he served in front of the car, appeared to try to run it off a dark stretch of road.
we'll show you the video and i want to warn, you're going to hear a gunshot. >> i say something? >> you have a pistol? >> oh, god! >> oh, my god! >> the uber driver, robert westlake, a licensed armed security guard who hole holds a concealed carry permit. he called 911 and rendered aid to boek who died. the girlfriend was not even in that uber. this was a case of him following the wrong vehicle in the first place, westlake told police came towards me, shouted he's got a pistol and reached for his waistband. that's why the sheriff says it makes it a classic stand your ground case and doesn't plan to charge him. >> wow. >> don't mess with an uber driver.
