First from the news deck, President Trump is blaming democrats for the problems of Jeff Sessions. The president says the democrats are trying to make up for their election loss and the entire russian narrative is a total witch hunt. President trump even sparked a twitter ward with Chuck Schumer over the russian matter. More on that in a moment. This comes a day after the attorney general Jeff Sessions recused himself from the investigation into russias interference in americas election after admitting that he spoke twice with the Russian Ambassador in the campaign season.

And there is now we now have good evidence. Theres one category of question that basically works like freeze tag on this president. You ask him about this one thing, tag, and he freezes.

One more interesting detail that my colleague jeff zeleny has confirmed, is that according to a former u. S. Official the Obama White House was troubled about the way trump transition people was handling classified documents.
