certainly you know, will impact this whole bill here. that is why congressmen like jim jordan are so important to this. but right now they re trying to get sort of assuage some other concerns on the hill. but it s the reason the house leadership wanted the president to endorse the bill. they did not want him to change it, erin. all right, thank you very much. as we say, what is so important about this health care story is the human side, we are trying to bring you this story night after night because the reality of it is is that some americans are afraid about what this new plan will mean, and it is life and death for many americans, not just a series of numbers or of discussions with members of congress. one medicaid recipient who got coverage for the first time, her life under obamacare, tells us she is gravely concerned. so meg went to see her, outfront from kentucky where the percentage of those without
it is a monstrosity. a source said he is trying to win over the republicans saying he gets the complexity of this. today, congressman mark meadows of north carolina, and jim jordan, of ohio, two big critics, were present. a year after they campaigned, they are lining up the top items on the agenda. our goal is simple, bring down the cost for working families and middle class families across country. in order to do this we think you have to get rid of obamacare completely. so this is one of the items that came up in that meeting with the president tonight, erin, and i can tell you this is not being met very favorably with the republican leadership on capitol hill. i just talked to one top aide who said look, this could blow up the whole bill in the house and certainly in the senate. now, it s unclear if this is a bit of a negotiation here from the president. but the language that he especially said about medicaid
and you just heard her story, she works but only would have $100 a week left over if she used her employer-based health care, she could lose the coverage along with nearly half a million people in kentucky alone. is that acceptable to you? erin, i don t define success as putting more people on government health care. i define success as bringing back affordable insurance, lowering the cost of health care so middle class families and individuals you just had the clip on can actually afford to buy the policy their need. that is what we ve lost. that is what happened under obamacare, middle class families can no longer afford insurance, and if they can afford the premium, they can t afford the deductible. so our focus is bringing back affordable premiums and insurance for this country. so obviously you have not been a fan, at least thus far of the gop plan. i know you had lunch with the president today and he is trying
remains a mystery. all right, thank you both very much. obviously, significant information here, the largest private bank in russia here, thanks to both. all right, on this breaking news now i want to bring tom fuentes, as we said, further assistant director to the fbi. tom, this is obviously more of the drip, drip, but this is very new in one respect. right? this is 99% of the lookups, for this server coming from alpha bank in russia, the largest private bank in all of russia and a company led by betsy devos, the secretary of education s husband. you heard that is plus plain odd, isn t it? you know, i really don t know, erin, it does sound unusual, but there could be a plausible explanation that none
financial ties between president trump and russia. thank you for that, jessica, and we do have breaking news on that front, possible connections between the largest bank in russia and a server in the trump organization. right now we want to talk about the significance of the briefing. tom, let me start with you. so obviously here, the fbi director right now, it is unclear how many probes are going on and exactly who they involvement but clearly the top members here of the house and senate intelligence committee, those with top security clearances are demanding answers from the fbi director. right, erin, but we don t know especially how much detail director comey went into with these briefings with the gang of 8. so we just don t know how much was provided to them more than what they knew before the meeting, we re not sure. we re still not sure how much has gotten out and may not know
