Attorney general. And he writes that bob mueller in his testimony, quote, must remain within the boundaries of your public report because matters within the scope of your investigation were covered by executive privilege. Well, they are doing this to do Everything Possible to try to make sure mueller doesnt say anything in the hearing because the reality is that the president is worried. And we dont know why, but he is bracing for muellers testimony. Just four days ago he said he wasnt going to bother watching. Today you can watch that evolve within two seconds. Im not going to be watching, probably, maybe ill see a little bit of it. Maybe a little bit of it, maybe all of it. There is no doubt the president will be watching mueller and no doubt the president knows muellers testimony can redefine the presidency. Mueller is coming out. He has a prepared statement he will give at the beginning. And now they are putting the letter out saying you better stay in your lane, buddy. The preside

And in the president asking for something, it became for a white house meeting because thats what this was about, vindman testifies. He
Committee wrapped and the Intelligence Committee writing up their report now on what their investigation determined, theyre planning to hand that over to the judiciary committee. So judiciary is preparing to receive that report. They have now announced the start of their own scheduled public hearings. All of that toward their ultimate end, which is to draw up the articles of impeachment against the president and put those on the floor of the house for a vote. I mean, eas that is all moving forward at pace right now, we are still getting more about how this whole thing went down including inside the executive branch with these previously unreported protest resignations inside the white house, inside the White House Office of management and budget. Now, the core allegation, of course, at the heart of all of this is that the president pressured a Foreign Government including a foreign president to conduct investigations into his political rival, joe biden, investigations that would benefi
But did it . Good evening. President nixon reportedly will announce his resignation tonight. Vice president ford will become the nations 38th president tomorrow.

And this appears to be the final day of his administration. Tonight at 9 00 Eastern Daylight Time the president of the United States will address the nation concerning developments today and over the last few days. This has of course been a difficult time. This is indeed an historic day. The only time a president has ever resigned from office in our nearly 200 years of history. You see the white house there. In just a few moments now president nixon will be appearing before the people perhaps for the last time as president of the United States. Have you got an extra camera in case the lights go out . 15 seconds to air. I know. This was much worse than
