passed. the white house wants to see legislation voted on by july. but there's a lot of skepticism about whether or not that can actually happen. so today, trying to hammer out some of the fine details. of course one of the main sticking points as the house was writing up its piece of legislation was how to cover those with pre-existing conditions. they came up with a fairly controversial way to do it, so that's certainly one of the big topics that the senate is discussing, as they try to get their own bill done. in terms of the timing, it is critical that they get something done in the next month or so, because they want to move on to tax reform, and then to infrastructure. so it's a robust agenda. the president had that meeting this afternoon and he'll be meeting again with lawmakers and congressional leaders a little bit later on this evening when he hosts them for dinner here at the white house. >> kristen, let's fast forward, as the world knows, james comey

as part of an ongoing investigation into russia's interference in our election. what can we expect from comey and should we expect the president to react with live tweets throughout the day? >> reporter: well, we'll have to see on both of those fronts. but here's what we do know. the white house is gearing up for what is going to be a difficult news day. the president is going to be giving a speech that day, a little bit of counter-programming, if you will. and administration officials say they'll be monitoring the testimony quite closely. there has been some talk about president trump potentially tweeting. now we know that legal experts have tried to steer him away from that. some of his top aides have tried to steer him away from that, particularly as it relates to russia, because they worry, it could actually undercut him legally. so i think there's a lot of pressure, in terms of the response coming out of the white house. what is the white house saying? they were thinking about setting up a war room to deal with all of the russia

so now they're referring all reporters to outside counsel. so i suspect on thursday we're going to get the sort of official response from the outside counsel, even as top officials and the president himself monitor what former fbi director james comey says very closely. jim? >> stay tuned. going to be a very big and important and interesting day. kristen, thanks so much. >> thank you, jim. we invite you to stay with us for more of kristen's reporting from the white house this evening. you can watch "nbc nightly news" with lester holt right after our broadcast at 6:00. honeybees are getting a chance to pollinate at the vice president's residence. his wife karen pence is installing beehives there, to give the bees some much needed pr. the beehive installed today with the help of secretary of agriculture is simple. but what goes on inside is critical to our nation's crops. bee colonies are on the decline, and without these pollinators,
