Anderson Cooper takes viewers beyond the headlines with indepth reporting and investigations. Mcgahn, the Current White House council has been meeting and talking with Robert Muellers team. Theres also the president s former Campaign Chairman, still waiting for a verdict in his tax evasion and bank fraud trial. And dozens more intelligence professionals weighing in against the president removing John Brennans Security Clearance. His anger at least on twitter appears to be growing.
