The former secretary of state and onetime candidate calling for the Justice Department to release the unredacted version and save and saying the Mueller Report is just the beginning. Im really of the mind that the Mueller Report is part of the beginning. Its not the end. Maybe as churchill said, its the end of the beginning. Theres still so much more that we should know and that we should act upon. Obviously thats what the congress is trying to figure out, what to do right now.

That joe biden will announce his candidacy on thursday. My vision is for things as simple as National Paid leave, as broadbased as National Public service and making sure people can get a better education. Youve supported medicare for all, a green new deal, erasing existing Student Loan Debt and reparations. Im going to release plans including how we would pay tr those things, but in essence, were going to repeal these trump tax cuts. Were going to go beyond that by asking people at the top. The one thing theyve done is lent tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, billions of dollars to our students and it is now crushing them. What we have to do as a country is roll back that debt to make college universally available with free tuition and fees and to put more money into pell grants so that students of color, so our poor students have real access to college.

Backing down from a subpoena fight. Investigators looking to interview past and present staffers over the Mueller Report. But the white house says it will not play ball. Bill here is the quote. There is no reason to go any further especially where its very partisan. John roberts live from the north lawn begins our coverage today. John, good morning. Good morning to you. The president will be departing the white house at 10 40 this morning heading to atlanta. A good chance we may hear more from him about all of this.

Welcome to the lead. Im jake tapper. The politics lead. A u. S. Government official telling me today its like, quote, pulling teeth to get the white house to focus on the very real ongoing threat of continued Russian Election interference. Quote, in general, senior white house staff felt it wasnt a good idea to bring up issues related to russia in front of the president , the official told me.
