Involving trump. The Washington Post summing it up with this headline. Trump and his allies are blocking more than 27 different probes in an all out war with congress. The two sides could be headed for more clashes. Democrats are giving the irs and Treasury Department until friday to turn over six years of the president s personal taxes, and theyre considering multiple obstruction charges. The Trump Administration has decided to say a blanket no to any oversite whatsoever, no witnesses, no documents, no nothing. Claiming executive prifl for something they know there is no privilege for over the hundreds of thousands of documents. You cant have an executive privilege when youre not the executive. They know that vast categories are inapplicable to the privilege here, so theyre just stonewalling. Jeremy, another big week, subpoenas, deadlines for the Trump Administration, but will it still be more of the same . It certainly appears that way, fredericka. The battle lines are drawn, and the

Moscow. The airport. Hasnt gone very fire, a few miles. It turns around. It attempts to make one landing, doesnt we believe. These facts are not yet fully confirmed. But then it does make a landing, what you can see is a very hard landing. The plane is on fire. And the only thing we know, of course we do not know the reason. Some things just to point out, if i may. Please. Here, of course, you can see the engine. So, theres the wing. So, the fire is being fueled. That is not just i mean, that is actually a ruptured fuel line somewhere in there that is causing this very thick, black smoke. And that thick, black smoke, does that tell us anything . Yes. It tells you that it is a fed fire. This is not just something but this is not the plane burning, per se. This fire is being fed by fuel lines in some shape or form.

If nothing happensth in a couple days, the speaker of the house could get involved. The attorney general voting to recommend that congress hold him in contempt over the release of the full mueller report. It may come up with contempt charges for other Administration Officials this week. And issue them all at once in a package. What about Robert Mueller . Will he ever testify before congress . Yes, not this week, but they are working on a date. President trump either doesnt want mueller to testify or doesnt care. His position on the subject has changed several times.
