A whole bunch of high stakes primaries, a whole bunch of interesting storylines you have to understand particularly about california, lots of i results were expecting tonight in terms of who is likely to control congress as of next year is a very important thing. In the midst of that, i did not expect that at 90 p. M eastern time on this night of all nights i would be reporting on the attempted murder arrest just outsidehite bu t ns broke this evening. We still, frankly, only have skeletal details as to what happened here. I will tell what you we know thus far. Outside the white house today a man was arrested because there was a warrant out for his arrest in maryland, in prince georges county, maryland. He is 29 years old. He is from maryland. The reason tto is breaking as National News tonight is because, well, for one when this man was arrested it was for a very seriou
This was day one of three days here in washington for the now former new york lawyer. Along the way Michael Cohen was disbarred today. And today he appeared as a civilian headed to prison at a ninehour closed door hearing of the Senate Intelligence committee. P he has admitted lying to them back in 2017, and indeed a source close to cohen tells nbc news he started off today by n apologizing to the committee. He paused to speak briefly after the hearing was over. I really appreciate the opportunity that was given to me to clear the record and to tellt the truth. Le and i look forward to tomorrow, to being able to give my voice to tell the American People my story, and im going to let the American People decide exactly whos telling the truth.

Lockstep with his boss, President Trump. Both men are, again, pushing claims today that unauthorized spying may have taken place on the trump campaign. In a tweet, President Trump said, my campaign for president was conclusively spied on. This was treason. And this is what his attorney general told fox news.
