Today the russia investigation took a major step forward. For the first time a member of the president s inner circle faced questions on capitol hill. Put another way, this investigation has now come within one man of the president. He is arguably the closest man to the president. White house Senior Adviser and soninlaw Jared Kushner spent more than two hours with the Senate Intelligence committee and then he made a Public Statement saying he never colluded with russia. It comes as trump pours the pressure on his own Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, who rekuzed himself from the Justice Departments russia investigation months ago. A decision the president has not been able to get past. He wrote about sessions on twitter this morning, referring to his own Attorney General, mind you, as our beleaguered Attorney General. And tonight the Washington Post as a new report headline, trump leaves sessions twisting
in the wind Bile Berating him publicly. It reads in Part Sessions was once conside
personal to president trump in particular. but it s the fact that he is so active on twitter. and that lends a totally different dynamic to covering the presidency than it has in the past. of course i wasn t covering the white house under previous administrations, so it s hard to compare. but certainly from what my colleagues tell me this is a lot faster pace. you re dealing with a lot more information. i get in real early in the morning and i m usually covering tweets, trying to decipher them. sometimes we re not exactly sure exactly what he s talking about. so we kind of spend our morning really trying to understand and interpret. so that the american people who are receiving his message can better understand what he s saying. all of those things are definitely new challenges, exciting but also you know sometimes very difficult. vivian salama, who had at least one war time overseas posting. i m not sure which was more dangerous or difficult looking back. vivian, thank you. ashley,
