Then hes bringing home goats. Willie, you say it cant top what happened yesterday and every day this Reality Tv Show president tops what happened yesterday. But in a way that is tragic for the country. Its just insane. We got three stories right off the top. It would be a huge lead story any day. Well pick which one to go with. Today the Senate Intel Committee, dan coates will be there, rod rosen stein. Thats a prelude to whats going to happen tomorrow. Mika has the morning off.

Trump. Facing heavy backlash, sponsored dropping their support, not time warner though, that is a Parent Company of cnn. They fired griffin last month for posing with the blood he severed head, so why is it still sponsoring this outrage . One of its stars is even encouraging people to go see the play. Calling it a masterpiece. You should note the 2012 version of caesar in minnesota featured an actor dressed like president obama in the title role. Very good. It is more than just political pornography, i believe it is more than that. I think under the guise of art, there is something that they want to see happen, do you agree or disagree . Greg i want to defend him. I do not think that he actually saw the play, he overheard someone else and copied him. Jesse are you referring to the plagiarism scandal . Greg maybe i am. Jesse i wanted to make sure that the audience knew. Not everyone knows. Greg look, the one thing that you dont want to fall into this fault of equivalency thing, it was d
Claim violating the constitution clause about corruption biceping millions of dollars in payments and benefits from foreign governments since he became president. The white house hasnt reacted. Weve reached out to top officials here. So well be tracking that throughout the day. But were also tracking the ongoing fallout in the wake of the testimony by former fbi direct james comey. The president lashing out over the weekend on twitter accusing him of breaking the law by leaking information. And you have republicans piling on the president saying that he should stop taking to twitter, stop speaking out, that she should essentially zip it up. But his daughter on defense this morning, take a listen to what she had to say. It is hard and there is a level of viciousness that i was not except ipects. I was not expecting the intensity of the experience. But this isnt supposed to be easy. My father and his administration intends to be transformative. And we want to do big bold things. And were
Clueding with or attempting to obstruct any investigation. As the committee pointed out today, these important facts for the country to know are virtually the only facts have not been leaked during course of these events. As he said yesterday, the president feels completely vinld indicated, and is eager to continue moving forward with his agenda with the business of this country and with this public cloud removed. Now, in case werent glued to the tv earlier, here are some of the biggest moments of the testimony starting with why james comey thought he was fired. The shifting explanations confused me and increasingly concern me. Although the law required no reason at all to fire an fbi director, the administration then chose to defame me and more importantly, the fbi by saying that the organization was in disarray, that it was poorly led, that the work force had lost confidence in its leader. Those were lies plain and simple. I dont think it is for me to say whether the conversation i h
Question of whether President Trump himself is under investigation. He tweeted on friday that he is, but just 48 hours later his lawyer says, no, the president is not being investigated, period. Confused . A bit perplexed . Heres what we know. Last week the Washington Post that special Counsel Robert Mueller is investigating President Trump for possible obstruction of justice and that mueller is interviewing at least three Senior Intelligence officials as part of this expanding probe. The post report was the most significant sign yet that muellers investigation is growing beyond questions of russian interference in the 2016 election. President trump called the report phony, then on friday he tweeted this, and i quote i am being investigated for firing the fbi director by the man who told me to fire the fbi director. Witch hunt. Lets bring in white house correspondent, athena jones. The president s lawyer was asked pointblank about that tweet. Hi, ana. He was. Look, these are exactly th
