Day 587 of the Trump Administration brings the sudden news that the west wing attorney who has been the pivotal link to Robert Mueller during the russia investigation is out. White House Counsel don mcgahn will soon be making his exit. Axios was first out with a report this morning. That was quickly followed by this tweet from President Trump.

He was then relentlessly attacked by the president for taking himself out of the russia case. Im disappointed in the attorney general for many reasons. And you understand that. I am disappointed in the attorney general. He should have certainly let us know if he was going to recuse himself. And we would have used a put a different attorney in.

From now. Joining me now, nbc news cheap global correspondent and nbcs a ali. Bill neely, what next . Thats a good question, andrea, nobody knows. This was meant to be a day when britain left the European Union. Instead its a day when britains deepest political crisis in, i dont know, half a century has just deepened again. Its deja vu all over again. As you said, theresa may tried for a third time to get her deal that shes tried to get through twice now, that she negotiated with the European Union over two years. She tried to get it through. It failed, this time by 58 votes. It failed before by 230, and 149. She keeps trying, she might get it through by christmas. What happens next .
