And we begin with new reaction from House Speaker paul ryan about the next steps to unifying the party. And heres what he told reporters at the wisconsin Gop Convention last night while praising Donald Trumps campaign.

Ill tell you one thing, if anybody talks about Hillary Clintons yelling, they have to talk about trump. If you go after hill try for yelling, you have to go after trump. Chris matheus in cleveland.

Plowed into a platform in the Hoboken Terminal. This was at the height of the morning rush. I did see people jumping through windows in that first car after the crash, trying to get them out. Maybe they got them they could squeeze them through the door. It was just a mess. I just tried to get out and get on the platform and get as far away from it as possible as quick as possible, but i did see some pretty nasty stuff. New jersey governor krils chr Chris Christie urging patience as the investigation into the crash takes off. My admonition when i was u. S. Attorney all the time to my prosecutors and agents was, dont jump to conclusions, let the facts lead you to the proper conclusions. And so were not going to speculate about the cause of the accident.

Matter. The Senate Offers reason for hope because the House Intelligence Committee under the bizarre leadership of chairman devin nunes offers, in effect, zero hope. Hes canceled all of his committees hearings this week after making a secret trip last week to the white house and what has all the appearances of being a coordinated effort with the administration to muddy up the investigation. Senate chair burr on the other hand, with a strong contingent of professional staffers working on the investigation has his committee now examining thousands of pieces of intelligence, and they are, as he said today, within weeks of completing that review. Well, the committee has also made 20 requests for interviews. Among them, Jared Kushner. Their first hearing is tomorrow.
