Welcome to the overnight news. Im elaine quijano. President trump has dismissed the russia investigation as a pointless witchhunt. But the first criminal suspect could be unmasked on the eve of halloween. Sources tell cbs news, a federal grand jury has approved special councsel Robert Muellers first charges in the case an arrest could come as early as today. In a hail of tweets the president shrugged off the looming charges suggesting in capital letters that the spotlight be turned instead toward Hillary Clinton. Here is justice reporter paula reid. Bob mueller has a really distinguished career of service to our country. Republican called for his party to keep an open mind as they await the first charges from special counsel robert mueller. I would encourage republican friend give the guy a chance to do his job. The result will be known by the facts. The sealed indictment could become public as early as monday. But it is not known who could be charged. Mueller has been given authority to investigate any connection between the Trump Campaign and russia. His probe has broadened to include investigations into former Trump Campaign manager Paul Manafort, mike flynn and possible obstruction of justice in firing of james comey. The democrat believes manafort has information that could be useful to mueller. We know that the russian government through intermediaries was reaching out to the Trump Campaign, Paul Manafort and offering information on Hillary Clinton they thought would help the Trump Campaign and that the campaign was willing and accepted that idea. Former u. S. Attorney says the first arrest is likely to be someone who has information that can advance the overall investigation. Prosecutors like those in my former office and those that work in bob muellers office now try to see who they can bring charges against first. See if they have information asome someone else. Threat of in diedictment can provide incentive to cooperate, if the person charged works with special counsel it is possible charges could remain under seal and wont see any arrests this week. Eve lane. Paula, thank you. Earlier i spoke with our chief washington correspondent, and face the nation host John Dickerson. John, what does news of an indictment mean politically speaking . Depend on who the indictment its aimed at. A minor character on the fringe of this story, it wont mean very much. In fact, you can imagine, now really getting into the either here of speculation, but if it is a, a side lined figure not related to the president , its possible to imagine the president would take heart from that and say that it proves this is a witchhunt. On the other hand if it is somebody close to the Trump Campaign then it would require all kinds of responses both from the president and his team. That would create volatility. Senator collins told you sunny wants several key players from Hillary Clintons 2016 White House Run to appear again before the Senate Intelligence committee on the issue of the dossier. How does the weeks news change the narrative of the Russian Investigation . This certainly helps the president. Make his case, or at least before this indictment news came forward, about what the clinton team was up to. Really there are two separate things. And so, particularly with respect off to the Senate Intelligence committee, senator collins was saying that the, the lawyer who we know was involved with this creation of the dossier, spending money on it, was at the, at the table with john podesta chairman of the Clinton Campaign when he said he knew nothing how it was funded. That lawyer will now according to senator collins should come back and testify owe posed as some one going along with john podesta. Jo John Dickerson, thank you very much.

Whats the latest, craig . The latest Tropical Storm felipe is not going to be a bts now it is moving to sea. It is off the east coast of florida. Heading to the northeast. But the moisture from felipe is going to contribute to the already powerful storm system that is working its way across the eastern u. S. Heavy rainfall stretching from the midatlantic on up into the northeast and new england and new york.
