On all of that tonight and back here in d. C. , a huge shift is underway. The long rumored, but no real departure of House Speaker paul ryan is underway. Chief National Correspondent ed henry joins us live from the white house with breaking news tonight in both stories. President trump quick to praise paul ryan saying he leaves behind a legacy of achievement. Central to that, of course the tax cut that they passed together last year and will be central to the republican case in the upcoming midterms. Ryans exit is also a reminder about republican angst about those midterms and also is a sign that republicans in congress are not likely to get anything else big done by the end of this year. In fact, ryan right now behind closed doors behind me with the president of the g. O. P. Leaders having dinner. I have spoken to a very senior tripadvisor who knows the president was furious with ryan during the 26 Team Campaign for taking so long to rally behind him. In turn, ryan has not been happy
He only flies first class because people in coach arent nice to him. Youve encountered near confrontations in coach. I dont want to get into the specs. When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. A day after 17 people were fatally shot at a high school in south florida, the president read remarks on a telepromptner which he did not mention gun a single time. The white house didnt hold a daily press briefering which meant reporters did not have a chance to ask questions about how else the president plans to address the shooting, about the statement this morning that appeared to place the blame for the shooting on the people in the community about the latest in a string of massacres that have taken place under the president s watch. Reporters also lost the chance to ask about the truly astonishing number of scandals that are currently engulfing this administration. More than a week since the resignation of rob porter whose first wife says did he this to her
Diplomats, declaring that russia is responsible for an tike british soil using a military grade nerve agent. Did President Trump approve that message . Sack official candidate. After the apparent loss to conor lamb in the pennsylvania special election, the white house is keeping its distance claiming the democrats embraced the president s policies. Was this a referendum on President Trump . And standing up, walking out. Students across the country stand up and demand change. Doctor, this extraordinary show of solidarity make a difference . Im wolf blitzer and youre in the situation room. Another turn of the revolving door at the white house. The president names a wall street adviser as others look around nervously waiting for the next move and as Great Britain blames russia for a nerve agent attack, lawmakers vow to look into russian meddling.

This, of course, is sparking fear of retaliation from china, which holds a large portion of u. S. Debt, so we are just talking about fear at this point.

The market did not care about reality. It is sheer nervousness right now, and it might stick around for some time, not helped by the fact that the president s top lawyer quit today. Also, a lot
Organization email to arrange the Stormy Daniels payoff proves that mr. Trump knew about it. Now insisting he used a home equity line of credit to pay the porn star 130,000. Im talk with kathleen rice. Our correspondents and analysts are standing by. Jeff, what more are we hearing about the prospect for talks with north korea .
