investigation. but until members of congress and the public actually see the mueller report there are very few people who actually know what it includes, and tonight we're going to hear from a central figure in the early part of thata rus investigation. joining nous ais nbc's chief white house correspdent hallie jackson. you know, earlier lester holt sat downith former fbi director james comey who said that this is a vfdication the process, that it was not a witch hunt andhat the justice department did its job. but even he's not sure what's in it. >> that's it, wendy. and it's really interesting this lester interview you're going io seen which comey talks about the mueller report and he says he has no regrets in pursuing some oflu these con questions in the first place. and i want to quote him pperly here. he says there was smoke and enough smoke to justify investigating. and comey remember was obviously central to so much of this during the 2016em campaign.

iber being in this room actually in that chair behim be there when he came out and said james comey had been fired. the appointment of the specialu l of robert mueller, so lots of people at play he as on capitol hill lawmakers are talking about bits and pieces of this. i will say democrats in large pafrt have looked to pivot away discussion of the mueller report and instead talk about health care. ware going to look at all of it coming up on nightly news. >> the president yesterday on the hill said republicans are going to become the party of health care. do we have any idea what that's going to look like if obamacare is totally repealed? >> it's so interesting because administration officials today, here's what my sources a teing me that essentially they believe turning to obamacare, focusing t on this fig over the health care law could be politically advantageo for the president,

but there is acknowledgement there's not arw clear path d on the replacement piece if the appeal piece happens. there is a sense in the administrati that they have some time given this is court fight now, a legal battle. it's going to take months a months and months if not years to play out. ndication ofs an where people are in this because remember protections for with pre-existing conditions is incredibly popular, and that's a part of obamacare. so if that goes away republicans are going to he to answer it for that. and i've spoken with republicans on the hill as well w do have concerns what the messaging would be. from my personal perspective this is something that is critical. 28 million people at risk here. >> and as we saw when they were creating obamacare, this is not something you flip a switch j a t happens. it's pretty complicated. all right, nbc's hallie, jacks thanks so much. and look for lester's exclusive sit down with james comey. that's ahead on nightly news and
