This announcement should not be interpreted as confirmation of the existence of any ofestigation or suggestive the scope of any such investigation. Jeff several Top Democrats have called for sessions to resign. President trump has remained stoutly behind him. Joining us from washington is Eric Lichtblau and karen tumulty. Thank you for joining us. What is next on the sessions front . Is whatnk what is next has been going on along, which is the sort of drip of more and more reports of contacts of people in the president s circle with the russians or russian officials.

Who had contacts, how many. I

Orourke whose new book is called how thet hell did this happen . The election of 2016. Populism can end upping with William Jennings brian, incompetent and kind of funny and comic, or it can end up the way it did so many places between world war i and world war ii, it can wind up really, really ugly. Im hoping were having, you know, history occurs first as tragedy ad then again as comedy. I hope thats whats going on at the moment, but im not laughing really hard. Glor we conclude with legendary french filmmaker agnes varda, she talked about her life and decades career with filmmaker molly haskell. Were doing cinema more than telling that story and another one. Trying to make the cinema be like the painting at the louvre. Telling stories like coming from a book or from a place. Glor politics and agnees varda
