You know mueller causing buzzfeed story inaccurate and Vice President mike pence calling off the media frenzy that surrounded the article. This Administration Fully cooperated with special counsel.

Over the week and President Trump into compromise offer which was quickly retracted by the house speaker, the recriminations continue on would normally be a much welcomed threeday holiday for government workers, but is instead another day of no work and no immediate pay for 800,000 federal employees. Chief White House Correspondent john roberts starts us off. The white house is hoping to bring something loose and they shut down later this week, pushing republicans and democrats in the senate to get behind the proposal the president outlined on saturday to secure the border and reopen governments.
