And pushing back against the federal government, what a virginia congressman wants to see happen when it comes to ma to take on the tom Insurance Companies and the Credit Card Companies and the wall street banks. Thats what Tom Perriello is about. Progressive causes have been my lifes work. Im Tom Perriello. And before and after congress i led nonprofits to battle climate change, poverty and president bushs attacks on civil rights. Now im running for governor to reduce economic inequality. Because together, we really can build a virginia that works for everyone. No politician in history and i say this with great surety has been treated worse or more unfairly. You cant let them get you down. You cant let the critics and the nay sayers get in the way of your dreams. President trump once again going aft media today as the white house still reels from controversy surroun we now have reports of the president asked the former fbi director to drop the investigation into russia ties with the National Security advisor michael flynn. Comey apparently recorded that request in his notes. Notes that he made every time he met with the president reportedly and the president has implied in a tweet that he may have audio recordings of their encounters. Joining us with what has already been a world win week is mark murray. Youve got john mccann likening this to watergate. Some democrats have been saying the word impeachment. Where does this go from here . Reporter thats a great question. What i would actually argue the last weeks of news has probably been the most consequential in the Trump Presidency and theres been a tremendous amount of ups and downs that weve covered but how long long lasting this stories end up being so you start up with the firing of james comey, the former fbi director who may now e hill and might have his memos read from last nights news that he recording that President Trump asked him to potentially stop an investigation of trumps former National Security advisor michael flynn. Then you also have the story about trump sharing information classified information with russians while in the oval office. And i think that youre going to end up hearing Congressional Committee testimony on this as well. And these stories arent going to go away any time soon. Theyre going to be playing out in the weeks and months ahead. Let me ask you something. Trump just complained at this commentment address. If hillary clinton, bill clinton, any barack obama, any democrat had done was doing any of this in the first 120 days, would the media be covering it . This is my Fourth Administration since being in washington and politics, id argue that every president and every politician goes through the impeachment. There was a tremendous amount of news Media Coverage over that two year period stretch over the whole Monica Lewinsky story. You end up having barack obama pregnancy, the crash, health care, george w. Bushs presidency, particularly the second term that involved the iraq war going south, hurricane katrina. Every president gets its tough. Whats different here this president 118 days in his administration is complaining about it so explicitly. The president and his team about to embark on their first foreign trip. Is this a good time for them to be leaving the country or perhaps can things settle while theyre away . Reporter maybe its like the commercial, time to get away by southwest airlines. Its not a bad time to leave the country. This is his first trip as president of the United States and these trips are never easy, particularly whats on the agenda for President Trump. Going to saudi arabia, then going to israel and getting involved in the really fraught israeli palestine politics and conflict. And then going to meet the pope. This is not very easy to pull off and certainly with all the other stories going on at home, i think that it really raises the stakes. All right. Mark murray. Always lovely to talk to you. Thanks so much. We invite you to keep it here for the latest coverage from nbcs Political Team at the white house, on the hill, all ahead on nbc nightly news with lester holt. Meanwhile lets head into the storm center no storms on the horizon but a whole lot of heat out there, amelia. We hit a new record high today at dulles, tied the record at dwi marshal.
