My first question, what did bob mueller teach trump about the republic this year . I want to begin with a quick tour of the key moments that turned the russia probe from a few suspicious aides under siege from day one. Michael flynn is out.

Moments ago, sessions held a press conference annoying that hes recusing himself from any investigation involving the trump campaign. President trump has fired james comey as director of the fbi. I just heard from a former fbi official describe this as shocking as insane and questioned whether it could amount to obstruction.

Also tonight, bob mueller making another move, pressing forward with the jail sentencing for jail flynn as well new fallout from the Paul Manafort guilty plea. We begin with breaking news. Republican senator john kennedy, a member of the judiciary kennedy, is now saying there will be a public hearing with judge Brett Kavanaugh and his accuser, Christine Ford. So that is breaking right now. Pressure coming from republicans in the senate about how to deal with what has upended the entire Supreme Court confirmation process.
