prosecutors have been presenting evidence to a grand jury in washington.according to the wall street journal yesterday the jury proved the first charges in the special counsel investigation for the special counsel office decline our request for comment. they told the paper the indictment was ordered and we do not know if the charges are who is it being indicted. and if it is more one person that is facing now charges. robert mueller s team has been conducting a wide-ranging investigation into russia s election meddling. that included several former aides of the president trump. this morning on fox and friends the former chum campaign chairman lewandowski said that he did not think anyone close to the campaign will ultimately be charged. this is nothing to do at present. if there were bad plays in the outside, that had a periphery or a small role in some tip of a campaign, my guess is the
on the trash heap and he and emanuel macron have a very close relationship. so it s difficult for more most people to get a handle on what is happening here and clear that a lot of people don t like it, but there s a lot that do. neil: you think the presidents tweets before the end of the night on this? i was waiting for a tweet on jeff flake to come up. so far he has resisted. that s the sort of that s chum in the water for the president when a senator says something like that. we ll see if he refrains. maybe john kelly has his iphone saying look, you ve done enough tweeting today. we ll see. the day is young here. neil: you re right, my friend. thanks very much. john roberts at the white house. mike emanuel with his read. if we re to take jeff flake or bob corker at face value, the tax things today didn t come up that much in that discussion that was meant to discuss the
about that in the ambien deal. trading for a win with the supreme court vacating the executive order on immigration. he s really, really taking a tough stance. he said busy week in washington. i said busy week in the white house. washington can t seem to figure anything out. fulfilling on the campaign promises. this president said he was going to do on the left in the so-called mainstream media but a bunch of former obama advisers and they are trying to explain what might be the motivation. here is what david axelrod had to say about it. i believe the president thinks that this is chum in the water, fulfilling his campaign promises for his base. i also believe that he is motivated by trying to obliterate the obama legacy, which is in part also chum in the water for his base, but also some other thing at play here that i don t have the qualifications to analyze
