Sounds like it is going to be a bad one. A warning from the president s lawyer about an interview. Dont testify. To preserve national security. And two months from election day, the best evidence yet the democrats could return to power. All in starts right now. Good evening from new york. I am chris hayes. Tonight exactly two months from what could be the most consequential midterm elections in at least a generation. The Senate Begins hearings for the judge who may be the deciding vote on the Supreme Court. Things look precarious for the president who nominated him.
