warrant an next step. that is a shift, and it comes against what he said would be his pledge to reduce himself from any such investigation, and it happens to be what president trump has been talking about well over a year. go way back to the cap -- "lock her up" and "crooked hillary" chants. for the attorney general to give on that is a big deal. adrianna: speaking of president trump come he has returned from asia. some have called the 12-day trip more symbolic than productive, but the president says tomorrow he will have a major announcement. any idea what the announcement could be? rick: i think he will be looking to put some meat on the bones of the discussions he had overseas, ma maybe advancements on trade, maybe national security things regarding north korea. we don't know what it is. we know he is eager to talk about it. he mentioned he is eager to tell the american people what he accomplished the last 12 days.
