With a cold snap now coming, three simple steps to lower your heating bill right away. And the mother and her infant. The baby had stopped breathing. What she did, and what one officer did next. Good evening. And its great to have you with us here on a wednesday night. And it did not take long. Just hours after the results of the Midterm Elections and that split victory for President Trump, today, the president demanded his attorney general, Jeff Sessions, resign. Sessions submitting this letter, beginning by writing, at your request, i am submitting my resignation. And these images just a short time ago. Jeff sessions leaving the Justice Department for the last time. Growing emotional. This has been a very turbulent relationship between the a. G. And the president. The president furious from the start that sessions recused himself in the russia investigation. Tonight, the president s move shifts the focus immediately from the midterms to the mueller investigation. Is it in danger . Abcs Jonathan Karl tonight on the phone call to sessions and the message from the president. Reporter this morning, just before President Trumps postelection News Conference, chief of staff john kelly called attorney general Jeff Sessions with a message from the president resign today. Sessions has been on thin ice for nearly two years. One of trumps earliest and staunchest supporters, he infuriated the president shortly after becoming a. G. By recusing himself from the russia investigation. I am disappointed in the attorney general. He should not have recused himself. Reporter the attorney generals decision ultimately led to the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller. Trump never forgave him. If he was going to recuse himself, he should have told me before he took the job and i would have picked somebody else. Reporter for months, the president publicly humiliated the attorney general. Well, its kind of hurtful, but the president of the United States is a strong leader. Reporter tonight, sessions applauded as he walked out of the Justice Department building for the last time. The president quickly named sessions chief of staff, matt whitaker, as the acting attorney general, tweeting, he will serve our country well. Whitaker is now the ultimate authority over the special counsel investigation. In the past, President Trump has suggested he wants an attorney general who will protect him. And in whitaker, he has picked someone who has talked openly about reining in Robert Mueller. Last year, when the president said mueller would be crossing a red line if he investigated the trump Family Business and finances, whitaker, then a cnn contributor, wrote, the president is absolutely correct. That goes beyond the scope of the appointment of the special counsel. And in a television appearance, whitaker defended the Infamous Trump tower meeting. Donald trump jr. , Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner sitting down with a russian lawyer they were told had dirt on hillary clinton. You would always have somebody from the Campaign Take the meeting and hear that person out. Reporter whitaker also openly about how an acting attorney general could effectively put an end to the russia investigation. I could see a scenario where Jeff Sessions is replaced with a recess appointment and that attorney general doesnt fire bob mueller, but he just reduces his budget to so low that his investigation grinds to a halt. And jon karl with us live tonight from the white house. Jon and i on the air until the wee hours of the morning covering the midterm. Jon, yooure back at it at the white house. Democrats are already calling on the new attorney general Matthew Whitaker to recuse himself from the russia investigation. Even some republicans sounding concerned . Reporter democrats are warning of a constitutional crisis, if whitaker doesnt recuse himself and interferes in any way with the investigation. And some republicans are expressing concerns, as well, including Susan Collins and senatorelect mitt romney, who today warned, saying that it was imperative that the investigation proceeds to its conclusion unimpaled. David . Jon karl, thank you. Another major question about this tonight, does this president pressure on Robert Mueller to wrap this up, to issue his findings. With democrats and some republicans concerned about whether this investigation will be proexticketed. Lets get to Pierre Thomas tonight. How soon could we see muellers report . Reporter yes, this does create pressure for mueller to complete the job. Whitaker has said that if mueller investigates the president s finances, the investigation could look like a mere whit hunt. That said, muellers not someone to buckle to pressure. Hell end this investigation when he sees fit. Some of my sources are hoping mueller will wrap up by the end of the year, with more indictments potentially coming sooner, possibly in weeks or days. David . Pierre thomas, thank you. As we said, Jeff Sessions ucial Midterm Election. R the president very happy with the senate, picking up seats there. Democrats he campaigned against defeated. But in the house, the democrats taking back control, and today, a combative News Conference from the president , during which the president said that hes willing to work with the democrats, but if they investigate him, it would all, quote, grind to a halt. Mary bruce back on the hill tonight. Reporter even though republicans lost the house, President Trump today declared the Midterm Elections another big win. Ill be honest, i thought it was a very close to complete victory. Reporter in his feisty News Conference, the president noted voters rejected republican candidates who kept him at arms length. Mia love gave me no love. And she lost. Too bad. Peter roskam didnt want the embrace. Eric paulsen didnt want the embrace. They did very poorly. Im not sure that i should be happy or sad, but i feel just fine about it. Reporter but now, for the first time in his presidency, Congressional Democrats have power. Rrow wl be a new day in america. Reporter today, the become of the house. You know, she loves this country, and shes a very smart woman. Shes done a very good job. Reporter pelosi and the president are pledging to work together, but trump knows full well House Democrats have Something Else in mind, too. They want to hold his administration accountable, now armed with the power to sub bina, democrats are poised to launch an onslaught of investigations. The president says if that happens, hell go after them, with help from the republicanled senate. They can play that game, but we can play it better. Because we have a thing called the United States senate. And all youre going to do is end up in back and forth and back and forth and two years is going to go up and we wont have done a thing. Reporter the president says hes willing to work with democrats on issues Like Health Care and infrastructure, but any bipartis bipartisanship would grind to a halt if they investigate him. Can you compartmentalize that and still continue to work with them for the benefit of the rest of the country . Or are all belts off . No. No. If they do that, all of it is a warlike posture. Pelosi today unfazed. They do note intent to abandon our relinquish our responsibilities for accountability, for oversight and the rest. Mary bruce with us live from the hill tonight. And mary, nancy pelosi poised to become speaker again, well see. She was asked today if House Democrats will move to get the president s tax returns. Reporter yeah, and david, leader pelosi said if they go down this path, the democrats, quote, are going to know what were doing and do it right. Democrats are already preparing to ask the irs and the Trump Administration to turn over these documents. They do not need a subpoena for this, but the president , asked about this again today, gave no indication that hes going to just hand over his tax returns any time soon. David .
