that he believes that the sooner we can get this addressed and dealt with, that there's been no collusion. >> reporter: still, a friend of the president told pbs, mr. trump may take steps to shrink the probe into possible russian collusion. >> i think he's considering perhaps terminating the special counsel. i think he's weighing that option. >> reporter: democrats say terminating robert mueller would be a mistake. >> i don't think that congress would sit still and allow the president to pick his own investigator. >> reporter: sean spicer tells nbc news mr. ruddy never spoke with mr. trump about this issue. mr. ruddy says that he spoke with trump last week but didn't discuss mueller in that discussion. experts say there may be some questions whether the attorney general invokes executive privilege. edward larns, nbc news, washington. and you can watch the testimony right here at 2:30 p.m. this afternoon and you can also watch it

republicans in the last election cycle. >> reporter: and as you vote today, bear in mind that many precincts are schools and they are opened today so officials are asking you not to park in the bus lanes and be mindful of the dismissal procedures and the traffic that follows therein. that's the latest from here. >> justin, thank you very much. before you head to the polls, check out our election day guide in the nbc washington app. our digital team put together a breakdown on each of the candidates on your ballot including lieutenant governor and stafford county supervisor race. you can find your polling location. just search election day guide in the app. major news for the redskins this morning. you may have seen the alert inside the nbc washington app. former quarterback doug williams is the team's new senior vp of player personnel. >> that means he's in charge of the roster,

we are looking to learn more about what led to a shooting at a northern virginia hotel. yesterday, a woman walked into the lobby of a quality inn covered in blood in the woodbridge area. she told police a man in her room shot her. after two hours of trying to talk to that man, police forced their way into the room and found that he was also suffering from a gunshot wound but was alive. it looks like the man may have shot himself. both victims checked into that hotel together and were traveling from new york. it looks like crooks are using official phone numbers to steal from unsuspecting victims. according to our news partners, u.s. capitol police numbers are being used in a spoofing scam. that's when you get a call from a number that is not what appears to be. the crooks made callers believe they needed to settle a fictitious warrant. end the call immediately, police say, if you're asked to provide information that is personal over
