Well, good evening once again from our nbc news headquarters here in new york. Day 375 of the Trump Administration.

And now we know this the president of the United States tried to fire the independent counsel, Robert Mueller iii, who had been put in place because the president of the United States fired the fbi director because he wouldnt give him an oath of loyalty.
