Sam clovis, papadopoulos, jared kushner, manafort, now the attorney general Jeff Sessions. Among the key figures who have not spoken to the special counsel, at least not yet, the president , the Vice President , steve bannon, his former chief campaign strategist, and the president s son, donald trump jr. We should point out these are names that have been publicly reported. We want to start with nbc justice correspondent Pete Williams as well as my colleague in the white house jeff bennett. Pete, to you first, what can you tell us about this interview, i guess why its significant . I guess sessions, the firing of the former fbi director would certainly be under tough scrutiny. The news here, peter, is when it happened. Not that it happened. We always assumed that the special counsel eventually would get around to questioning Jeff Sessions for several reasons. But what were told is it happened last week at the special counsels office. That Jeff Sessions had his personal lawyer with him.
