President was firing him. What we dont know is what exactly has changed in these intervening months because as bharara say, he was told in november at truch tower, that he could stay and the president told him to go up to the cameras and tell him that was the case. But now, we know something has changed and he has been fired. Now, a career prosecutor in the Southern District Attorneys Office will take his place. June kim. Will be the one who will and in his jus now, but we are not hearing much from the white house about how all of this transpired. Sean spicer today referreded us to the Justice Department and they didnt have to say other than he is no longer u. S. Attorney. Thank you. Preet bharara was one of just 46 u. S. Attorneys asked to step down, but his rule specifically as the u. S. U attorney in manhattan is one, if not the most high profile law jobs in the u. S. Want to talk about that with sarah gannon, shes been following this story all day for us. When you look at all the a
Congressman signed by 1,000 of his constituents from the third congressional action group. This was an office visit paid to the new Jersey Office of tom mcarthur who wrote part of the new version of the republicans bill to kill Affordable Care act. His home district constituents calculated that mcarthurs revised version of the Health Care Bill would throw more than 30,000 people off of Health Insurance just in that one Congressional District and so they came to tom mcarthurs office to tell him what a terrible thing that would be to try to change his mind on supporting that and they could not have been nicer when they did it, but they also gave his congressional staffers stuff, physical stuff that the staffers definitely did not want. And that i bet they had no idea what to do with once they hauled it back into the back room. And we feel that it is a very, very poor representation of the constituents in his district because we do not agree with his actions. We will pass this on then. Pl
Smaller slice of this probe. No wikileaks yet, we dont know anything about that yet. Theres a lot of other potential liability when i think about meet the press this sunday where youre going to be balancing this story along with your special coverage on the School Shooting and chuck, well be watching. Otherwise have a good weekend. Thank you, sir. We begin with breaking news, bob mueller issuing the first indictments of the russians interfering in the 2016 elections, we have them all, well be going through it. Other breaking news, right on in relation, donald trump responded tonight by admitting russians meddled. That response shows just how much bob mueller has ended any debate over the fact of russian interference, how bob muellers probe not only indicted people, but how he indicted a Conspiracy Theory that this president has been pedalling throughout his presidency. This is the first time the u. S. Has indicted foreigners for a major election meddling plot, this is the first time a
We begin with new reporting this morning in the mood in the white house during senator mccains funeral. The president going on a tweet storm before and after he left the white house to golf, in one tweet appearing to hit back at Meghan Mccain who took several swipes at him during her emotional eulogy. The president focusing most of his grievances against the Mueller Investigation and giving congress an ultimatum over nafta amid negotiations with canada. Lets turn to nbc White House Correspondent jeff bennett who has more on that. Can you describe what happened yesterday in d. C. . Its really kind of a split screen moment. Reporter it really was, frances, good morning. Its hard to know for sure what drove the president s tweet storm but we predicted he would react the way he did in part because its done it before. Think back to april, the Funeral Service for the late first lady barbara bush. President trump wasnt invited to attend that service either and at the time he was in florida an
