I will respectfully note that you also declined to ans

And fox news that occurred right here on the beat this week. Well bring you that story, coming up. Also, prosecutors in new york trying to checkmate donald trump pardons. I will be joined tonight by key insiders from the very Prosecutors Office that now has on this story, more power than bob mueller.

This is his first ever interview on msnbc, and we have a lot to get to, especially considering sdny. But we begin with something you actually dont usually see in washington, a unanimous, bipartisan vote. And not on a post office or some ceremony resolution, but actually, a unanimous vote to back up bob muellers work and ensure his findings are released.
