Good to know. And i just learned that steve bannon is once again delaying his cooperation, if we can call it cooperation. Im not sure what you call it at this point. Nbc news hasnt confirmed that hes not going to appear. We heard from the horses mouth, mike conway, whos sort of the acting chair on russia matters that there has been a subpoena.

We begin with President Donald Trump who is now blaming senator dick durbin for blowing a possible immigration deal, raising the risk of a Government Shutdown. Yesterday afternoon, the president wrote in another disparaging tweet, senator dicky durbin totally misrepresented what was said at the daca meeting. Senator durbin stands by his claims about the president s vulgar and many say racist remarkers during closed door immigration talks last thursday. Thats in contrast to the shifting stories from tom cotton and david purdue. Friday, they claimed they didnt recall what was said inside that meeting with the president , but by saturday, they outright denied that the president actually made those remarks. Republican senator Lindsay Graham is standing by his story telling the post and courier, quote, my memory has not evolved. I said what was said and i know what i said.
