democrats say there are many more questions to be answered. you have a president who, in my opinion, sought to collude with the russian government. is this just the beginning of the beginning? texas republican senator ted cruz joins us exclusively. hello. i m dana bash in for jake tapper. here in washington where the state of our union is on the edge of our seats. and minutes ago, a brand-new tweet from the president. good morning. have a great day. and today may certainly be one of the most significant days in the trump presidency. we could learn what special counsel robert mueller s principal conclusions are. right now only attorney general william barr, deputy ag rod rosenstein and select aides have reviewed the report. in the coming hours, they could send a summary of the main findings to congress. we do know the special counsel is not planning to issue any more indictments, according to a
