today senator john mccain returns for a crucial health care vote after a brain cancer diagnosis as president trump promotes health care in front of 40,000 screaming boy scouts while putting pressure on his hhs secretary. >> by the way, are you going to get the votes? he better get them. otherwise i'll say tom, you're fired! >> then two of the president's men on the hot seat and mr. trump is already tweeting highly critical things about one of them. the truck driver faces the death penalty in the human traffic horror. >> the latest on the condition of little charlie gard. >> and millions of risk facing severe thunderstorms. "early today" starts right now.

>> good to be with you on a tuesday morning. i'm frances rivera. >> attorney general jeff sessions could be shown the door after six months on the job. there are claims that the president met with aides to discuss his potential ouster and his replacement. he took to twitter to blast his own attorney general and within of his earliest supporters tweeting "attorney general jeff sessions has taken a very weak position on hillary clinton crimes." >> trump has referred to the attorney general as beleaguered, less than 24 hours ago, just before ignoring a reporter's

question about whether sessions should step down. rudy julewe giuliani is conside replacement along with ted cruz who said he would continue to represent the citizens of his state.

crucial votes for senate republicans this year as they look to finally repeal obamacare and/or bring their own health care bill to the floor. it's still not exactly clear what republicans will be voting on. given the secretive nature behind mitch mcconnell's plan. >> still the president put pressure on members of his own party. >> for the last seven years, republicans have been united in standing up for obamacare's victims. remember, repeal and replace, repeal and replace. they kept saying it over and over again. but so far senate republicans have not done their job in ending the obamacare nightmare. they now have a chance however to hopefully -- hopefully -- fix what has been so badly broken for such a long time. >> nbc's chief white house correspondent hallie jackson has a preview. good morning, hallie. >> reporter: good morning to you. all the action is happening just down pennsylvania avenue from where we are because as you know republican leadership is promising this vote to try to start debate on a health care bill, but at this point it's not clear what that bill look like or whether there is enough support. that is where these battle lines are getting drawn right now. you have some republican senators i'm thinking rand paul who says he's a no unless it repeals it now and delays a replacement plan. but a lot of other senators feel differently.

and that is going to be the challenge for mitch mcconnell today. it's a real test of his leadership to see whether he moves forward. president trump is using the power of his bully pulpit to issue this warning shot even to his own party trying to get republicans to get on board here. he wants repeal and replace and he wants to get it done. remember, this is a president who six months into his administration is really looking for some kind of legislative win over on capitol hill. he wants health care to be that victory. >> so much at stake today, hallie. thank you. and it looks as though the president is ratcheted the president on members of his own cabinet, as well. listen to this seemingly joking threat he made to tom price about getting his votes.

>> secretary tom price is also here. by the way, you're going to get the votes? he better get them. otherwise i'll say tom, you're fired! i'll get somebody. >> this morning there are more questions surrounding trump's son-in-law and adviser jared kushner, where he denied any ties with russia and today's he set to appear before another commit by kushner's second consecutive day on the hill. what can we explain explain from him? >> he. >> i did not collude with russia, nor do i know of anyone

else in the campaign who did so. i had in and i have been fully transparent in provide all requested information. >>, witch hunt, the president tweets out this morning. next up, 11-year-old barron trump. >> he is fired up this morning.
