Himself for possible investigation. He was saying he survived this, but we did see gop lawmakers say that Jeff Sessions should recuse himself. Let me ask you this. How much of a wedge will this drive between the white house and the gop . Do you see that down the road . It has potential to. This is scandal after scandal. Russia, we need a full independent investigation as to what degree russia was involved in influencing or attempting to influence our elections here in the United States. They are doing it in france and Around The World and have been doing it for a long time. Its shocking that republicans would be refusing to investigate that. I dont care if its a democrat or republican. When a foreign power is attempting to influence our elections. I want you to to followup on shawn a point. Jeff sessions made a mistake and
owned up to it. Nothing to see here. It is not a mistake. This is a man who has been live and breathing and speaking the language of law since he graduated in 1979.
Senator Lindsey Graham whether or not there is an investigation ongoing into the Donald Trump Campaign and those contacts that allegedly occurred with russian officials during the president ial election. Since they have not confirmed the existence of an investigation, they have not even confirmed with senators, so in a private meeting between graham and whitehouse on march 2nd, james comey would not tell these two senators whether or not there was an investigation ongoing, even though they sit on a judiciary subcommittee investigating the issue of russia. Comey according to Sheldon Whitehouse said he would confirm whether or not that investigation is occurring by this hearing that theyre having tomorrow in this Senate Judiciary Committee Subcommittee exploring russias meddling in the election. Eastern yoeuropean elections as
committee and the top democrat mark warner told me going into the briefing theres no evidence whatsoever even though he met with james comey last week. One other s

Senator mccain defined them as the same group what about the altleft that came charging at the, as you say the altright, do they have any semblance of guilt . Let me ask you this, what about the fact that they came charging with clubs in their hands, swinging clubs, do they have any problem . I think they do. As far as im concerned, that was a horrible, horrible day wait a minute, im not finished. Im not finished, fake news. That was a horrible day. [ Inaudible Question ] i will tell you something, i watched this much more closely
nationalist rally in charlottesville, the facts were plain before, during and after the bloodshed. The fact that the president had ht his disposal saturday, a fact he had friday night when they
As emotions are running high on this day theyve already seen so much violence. Not just today but also in that rally you saw White Supremacist leading to the University Of Virginia campus. And a lot of locals here having a hard time grappling with the images coming out of this otherwise quiet college town. We have seen the verbal altercations between, yes, of course, protesters and counterprotesters, in addition to the violence, but also ive seen verbal altercations between members of this community telling people visiting here from outside to go home. To leave them be and to let charlottesville return to the college town it normally would be in the lead up to School Starting back up again later this month. All right, Kaylee Hartung reporting live from charlottesville. Thank you. I want to get straight to athena jones who is in new jersey where the president is having a working vacation.

It doesnt need to get any fancier. Were not splitting atoms here. This is an unbelievable conversation. Patty hasnt had a chance to speak yet. I said this is no long ardog
whistle, its a bull horn now. I think the argument this is a legal issue is completely disingenuous by this administratio
