Committee on russian interference in the 2016 campaign. They are on their lunch break right now. At the same time, President Trump has publicly threatened a faction inside his own party and promised to fight them. Whats happening . What it all means. Were all over it with our team of correspondent the and analysts. Kelly odonnell at the white house, kasie hunt on capitol hill, Robert Costa National political reporter at the Washington Post and msnbc chief correspondent ari melber. Kelly, start with you, President Trump threatening to go to war with conservatives tell us about the threat and how we got here . Craig, the president has never been shy about using the power of his megaphone, whether that is twitter or his appearances in public, and he chose to use his twitter feed to take on the Freedom Caucus, that most conservative group who was part of the problem in getting the Health Care Repeal passed, not the entire cause, but certainly the white house is putting more blame on that c
That. So does devin nunes. In the senate, the intelligence probe is moving ahead without the paralysis of this bickering. Members of both parties will update us on the progress and is President Trump breathing new life this morning into the gops failed repeal effort of obamacare. He told a Bipartisan Group of senators he is ready to make a deal and it will be, quote, so easy. Lets begin with the trump administration. Sara murray is at the white house with the latest on that. Devin nunes, the head of that Committee Says no more hearings until they hear privately from the heads of the fbi, as well as the head of the nsa. This is causing a lot of concern amongst some democrats on the committee. Listen so what one of them, congressman jim hiens said this morning on new day. Youve got Lindsey Graham and john mccain and others saying i have never seen anything quite like this and a lot of us have a lot of history with chairman nunes and consider him a friend. But, you know, until we really g
Now put over people who have very important work to do to lead this country. So the faster you can get to the bottom of this, its going to be better for all americans. What a day in washington, the chairman of the House Committee. What a way to phrase that, a big, gray cloud that you put over it. That would be like bonnie and clyde saying why are you chasing me. Swiftly with the bureaus investigation. Director comey officially confirming that investigation in yesterdays hearing, a probe into ties between the russian government and President Trumps campaign. And the white house perhaps seeing where the investigation might be heading suddenly distancing themselves from former Campaign Paul manafort and security adviser Michael Flynn. That was baghdad moment saying Paul Manafort was a bit player. Well start with that among our guests this morning former director of the cia and nsa retired general Michael Hayden.

See ahead to the trump victory. This is mtv daily and it starts right now. Good evening. Welcome. Im chuck todd in washington. Tonight republicans in congress and the president are at their own impasse. That means democrats have an opportunity but also at a cross roads. President trump is running out of options within his own party. He was road blocked on health care in the house by both the left and right flanks of the gop of now hes realizing he might need build a bridge to droots get around it. A point he seemed to acknowledge last night at a reception of senators and their spouses at the white house. That i know were you goi to make a deal on health care. It is such an easy one.

Public hearing. Any investigation of this kind will start with private interviews to determine the value of what a witness has to provide for the committee. One thing that were really conscious of, we werent given a free pass to do a witch hunt. We were asked to do a real investigation. Well see high profile people and we will see analysts from the intelligence community.
