I mean, this is facesaving because clearly theyre not going to come to terms on anything. We begin with Rod Rosenstein in the spotlight. I have a great team here to break all of it down. But first, let me get you caught up on exactly where we stand. Were now waiting for details of an extraordinary meeting. It was brokered by President Trump. And will give Top Republicans in Congress Access to highly classified information on the russia investigation. The fact that its happening, all of that is significant.

Trumps advisers, including republicans on capitol hill, cory lewandowski, steve bannon, aggressively painting rosenstein as part of a deep state plot against the president of the United States. Now the campaign, our jake tapper reports tonight, focusing on pushing rosenstein to reveal details about the investigation that both the Justice Department and fbi do not want out in the public. Lets take exhibit a, and that is trumps claim that the fbi infiltrated his campaign. The president demanding details in a meeting this afternoon with the Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein was there, along with the fbi director, christopher wray.
