yesterday. but still so many questions about the wagner group s descent into russia. it ended almost as quickly as it began. yevgeny prigozhin s mercenaries got within 120 miles of moscow, the only to turn back to the races after a deal was brokered to prevent the armed rebellion. a spokesperson for the kremlin saying the wagner group leader will avoid prosecution and be exiled in belarus. his troops will be given the option to join russian military forces. prigozhin seen leaving russia last night as crowds cheered him on. meanwhile, new reporting revealing that u.s. spy agencies had indications, quote unquote, days earlier that prigozhin has been stockpiling weapons with plans to take on russian defense officials. i m obviously not going to comment on intelligence matters. what i can say is this, i think it s been no secret that many people over many months and that these tensions were rising, they were brewing. prigozhin was already saying extraordinary things about russi

Folks in to help rev up the Communications Operation. And after reflection, my decision was to recommend to the president that i give anthony and sarah a clean slate to start from so that they can talk about the president s agenda and help move it forward. Spicer was chief of staff Reince Priebuss man. And priebus was kept in the dark about the president interviewing scaramucci for that job, as was chief strategist steve bannon. A source telling nbc news priebus initially fought the hiring of scaramucci. After the decision was made, prebus then said he was on board. But his future is also in question.

Sean gets to start fresh. Anthony gets to start fresh. Most importantly, the president gets to start fresh. I think thats a good thing. Nbcs Kelly Odonnell joins us live at the white house.

If the russia probe does have bad news for trump, public patience for any mistakes could ultimately drop along with the markets. Even Donald Trumps aides are admitting there have been mistakes on russia. Take something that hasnt gotten a ton of attention t
Been a contentious trip abroad in a new interview labeling longtime allies in europe as a foe of the United States. Lets get right to the big meeting, though. The president arriving in finland a short time ago. In just over 13 hours from now, he will be all alone in a room with Vladimir Putin and no aides, no other officials, and seemingly no real agenda for what he hopes to achieve. Whats your goal from the Putin Meeting . Ill let you know after the meeting. I have absolutely it was mutually agreed lets have a meeting. I think its a good thing to meet. I do believe in meeting. I dont expect anything. I frankly dont expect i go in with very low expectations. I think that getting along with russia is a good thing, but its possible we wont. I think were greatly hampered by this whole witch hunt thats going on in the United States, the russian witch hunt. The rigged situation. And while the president doesnt seem to have an agenda, you can bet former kgb officer Vladimir Putin does. Making
