We have a lot of news, believe it or not even though it is a holiday season. Today in the face of bipartisan criticism following the resignation of this defense secretary, President Trump did something that many people have been waiting for, something you probably heard lawrence talk about previously.

Why two Top Republicans are openly under mining an investigation into skyrocketing Prescription Drug prices. This is a matter literally of life and death. All in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. The president s hand picked attorney general continues to muddy the waters around the Mueller Report and delay a full public accounts of what happened in the 2016 election and whether the president committed misconduct in office.
