We begin at the white house where last night the white house faulted the media for questioning whether President Trump will fire special counsel Robert Mueller. Now, after the president and one of his top lawyers offered unprompted criticism of mueller this weekend, amid a number of tweets about Andrew Mccabe, a potential witness in the Mueller Probe just hours before his full pension eligibility, President Trump issued his first tweet specifically attacking mueller by name. Quote, the Mueller Probe should never have been started in that there was no collusion and there was no crime. It was based on fraudulent activities and a fake dossier paid for by crooked hillary and the d this c and improperly used in fisa court for surveillance of my campaign. Witchhunt. Why does the mueller team have 13 hardened democrats, some big crooked hillary supporters and zero republicans. Another dem recently added, does anyone in this is fair . But the president falsely claimed that there was no crime,
Court in washington asking for a gag order to be imposed by the court on the Legal Defense team thats representing maria butina. Maria butina, of course, is accused of being a secret russian agent who infiltrated the nra and the conservative movement more broadly to try to influence the 2016 election on behalf of the russian government. Maria butinas lawyer has done lots of interviews and made lots of media appearances since he started representing her in this case. Prosecutors are asking for the judge to put a gag order on her lawyer so he will be restricted to only pleading her case in court rather than on tv.

I mean, you have to go back to George Washington and the whole idea of executive privilege in the first place. I mean, its it is the exact kind of rabbit hole that i fit perfectly inside. I could live the rest of my life plumbing the depths of this kind of political confrontation, right. If you are a constitution nerd, if you are a civics nerd, confrontations like this, votes like this today, this drama around this in the house today, its like christmas, birthday, first day of school and first day of Summer Vacation all wrapped up into one. Its exciting. Its exciting thing to cover. Its an exciting thing to unfold. There is so much uncertainty in terms of how its going to, you know, proceed through all the vario
To get to tonight. Were just going jump right in. I have to tell you, we are about to have a live interview with the chairman of the house Judiciary Committee, Congress Jerry nadler of new york, who is the man of the hour right now. Today chairman nadler and his committee voted to hold the attorney general of the United States in contempt. And while those kinds of confrontations between the legislative branch and the executive branch are fairly rare in our system and they are fascinating and there is all sorts of obscure and amazing case law and precedent that comes into play for these types of fights, and honestly, learning the history of how this might work out with barr being held in contempt and what that might mean in terms of his compliance with what theyre trying to get him to do that the doesnt want the do, in order to really figure it out, you got to go back and look at the history of, like, Harriet Miers as white House Counsel or janet reno for bill clinton and the eric holde
