breaking news today could be the most important day in the trump presidency since the inauguration. today, scott mcgrew, the first indictments are in. >> robert mueller filed the first official charges against a trump campaign official. in fact, two campaign manager paul manafort as well as one of manafort's associates. manafort is going to turn himself into the fbi. we expect the accusations against him are largely financial crimes. financial crimes are relatively easy to prove. this is manafort here. you don't have to prove intent. manafort was as close to the campaign as you could be because he was the campaign manager. now, if you can threaten manafort with serious jail time, the speculation goes, he may hand you someone higher up. and, in a campaign, there is nobody higher up than the person managing the campaign, other
5:45 am
than donald trump. and donald trump is going to have to be careful today. in the past, during times of crisis, he managed to say or tweet something that seemed like obstruction of justice. he told lester holt, he fired the director of the fbi to stop the russia investigation. so far this morning, the president only tweeted about democrats. under normal circumstances, this would be a top story, but the world is not normal today. today, the senate foreign relations committee asks how long we shouldout rise the president to use military force. this has been open since 2001, called the authorization of military force passed by congress. it allowed the invasion of afghanistan but has been used by presidents. congress thinking of taking back that authority today. it's important because it's our men and women in the field. we will watch the indictments. we will break into regular
