i'm chris hayes. hours before republicans are set to unveil finally a draft of their secret plan to overhaul american herring, the secret may be out. according to a draft in the bill obtained by the "washington post," senate republican there's propose a bill that tracks very closely to the same house bill that the president called mean and cold hearted, and that is polling at 17%. the post reports the senate bill largely mirrors the house america that you are narrowly passed last month, but with some significant changes crucially. while the senate proposal cuts off medicaid expansion more gradually than the house bill. it would enact deeper cuts for low income americans. mitch mcconnell will release it tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. during a closed door meeting with only republican senators. most of whom have not seen the bill themselves. even though it has been circulated among washington lobbyists. by monday, senate republicans expect to get a cbo score that will indicate among other things how many american

i'm chris hayes. the countdown clock is now officially ticking down towards a vote on the secret republican bill to overhaul the american health care system, and right now in the senate at this moment democrats are staging a last-ditch protest that could go deep into the night. democratic senators are now in the middle of a marathon session filled with speeches and procedural maneuvers designed to escate their opposition to what is by a accounts an unprecedented attempt by senate republicans to remake 1/6 of the u.s. economy with a health care bill they are drafting in total secrecy. >> there's only one reason why republicans are doing this. they're ashamed of their bill. >> rushing something through that fundamentally affects life and we're pushing it to the floor with an insult to our history or insult to our values. >> this is shameful. >> what senate republicans are presenting is a brazen heist. you just can't point to any precedent. remember, this is a bill that was initially drafted by an all ma

i'm chris hayes. there will be no vote this week on the senate republican health care bill. mitch mccontinental's audacious strategy of ramming it through senate in one week has failed after the bill proved unable to withstand a little more than just five days of public scrutiny. in the wake of the cbo score yesterday, showing the bill would leave 22 million more people uninsured by 2026, the legislation has continued to hemorrhage support. by this morning, at least five republican senators announced they opposed advancing the bill to the floor. more than enough to stop it in its tracks. despite last-ditch efforts by the white house chief of staff to rangel the votes, they pulled the bill this afternoon. >> we're going to continue the discussions within our conference on differences that we have that we're continuing to try to litigate. subsequently, we will not be on the bill this week. but we're still working toward getting at least 50 people in a comfortable place. >> it was only after the vote was delayed that a handful of other senators including these three announced t

i'm chris hayes. tonight there could be a major setback for senate leader mitch mcconnell in his effort to once swiftly pass a health care bill that would slash coverage for the poor and sxk give a huge tax cut to the rich. a republican facing probably the toughest re-election fight of any senator in his party in 2018, declaring publicly that he cannot supported the bill as written. >> this bill is currently in front of the united states senate. not the answer. it is simply not the answer. and i'm announcing faye in this form, i will not support it. >> heller's announcement was made alongside the republican governor brian sandoval who was among three who signed on retrump care which crucially included the vote, the medicaid provisions clugt in this bill are particularly problematic. nevada is one of the states that second the medicaid expansion. he didn't just align himself with sandoval's opposition to the gop effort to slash medicaid, he also said republicans are lying about the bill, about cutting

i'm chris hayes. in six days, james comey is set to give public testimony before congress in which he is widely expected to reveal attempts by the president to interfere with and possibly to obstruct the fbi investigation of his campaign's ties to russia. tonight, the trump white house is weighing whether to take the extraordinary step of trying to block comey from speaking. a former fbi director who was fired last month in t midst of the russia investigation is due before an open session of the senate intelligence committee at 10:00 a.m. next thursday, june 8th. but now according to bloomberg reporter jennifer jacobs, the white house confirms they're reviewing whether to invoke executive privilege to prevent comey from testifying before congress next week. asked earlier today if the president planned to intervene to try and silence comey, white house press secretary did not rule it out. >> that committee hearing was just noticed, and i think obviously it's got to be reviewed. >> so that is not a no?

i'm chris hayes. in one week from today, james comey will speak publicly for the very first time since the president fired him as fbi director last month. the senate intelligence committee announced today that comey is scheduled to testify on thursday, june 8th, beginning at 10:00 a.m. in both open and closed sessions after getting the go-ahead from special counsel robert mueller. mueller, of course, was appointed to take over the russia investigation following comey's firing. the question now is whether the president may invoke executive privilege to try and block comey from even getting before the committee. the former fbi director is expected to discuss his conversations with the president in which he says the president demanded his loyalty and asked him to halt the investigation into michael flynn, the ousted national security adviser. courts have upheld a president's right to keep his communications private, but it's not clear how that principle would apply to a president who frequently makes pub

i'm chris hayes. the senate health care bill at this hour is in trouble. after being crafted in secret, the bill has finally been forced out into the open as republicans try to pass it before they lee for recess at the end of this week. every day the bill spends in the glare of public attention, the more criticism it attracts from just about every direction. tonight, democrats are planning to hold the senate floor late into the night to protest the republican bill which is headed for a vote with zero hearings and very little debate. senate democrats are the least of the bill's problems. within the last hour or so, republican senator susan collins said she would vote against the bill in a crucial test vote. and after the nonpartisan congressional budget office released its highly anticipated analysis of the bill, which finds if this bill passed, 22 million more people would be uninsured by 2026 compared to current law. that includes 15 million more people just next year, including 4 million with employment sp sponsored insurance. average premiums in the ind

i'm chris hayes, and tonight someone is lying. and you don't need to be a special counsel to form an opinion to what it o it is. either the former director of the fbi, james comey, in an historic appearance before the senate intelligence committee yesterday lied under oath that the president tried to disrupt the russia investigation, or the president of the united states lied at a press conference this afternoon when he denied doing any such thing. >> he did say under oath that you told him to let the flynn -- you said you hoped the flynn investigation -- he could let go. >> i didn't say that. >> so he lied about that? >> well, i didn't say that. i mean i will tell you i didn't say that. >> and did he ask you to pledge his loyalty -- >> and there would be nothing wrong if i did say it according to everybody that i've read today, but i did not say that. >> and did he ask for a pledge of loyalty from you? that's another thing he said. >> no, he did not. i hardly know the man. i'm not going to say i want you to pledge allegiance. who

i'm chris hayes. as soon as next week, the american public will get a chance to hear directly from james comey. the former fbi director fired by the president earlier this month in the midst of the russia investigation, a source close to comey tells nbc news comey has been cleared for takeoff by special counsel robert mueller to testify in an open session of the senate intelligence committee. it would be comey's first public appearance since his abrupt dismissal on may 9th. multiple reports indicate the former fbi director plans to address his interactions with the president over the russia probe, which we now know comey documented in a series of contemporaneous memos. according to one of those memos, the president asked comey to end the fbi investigation into his former national security adviser, michael flynn, during an oval office meeting in february, telling comey, he is a good guy. i hope you can let this go. it has been reported similarly that senior white house officials sounded out top intelli

i'm chris hayes. in some of the most extraordinary testimony ever delivered on capitol hill, former fbi director james comey finally got the chance to tell his version of the events that ended in his abrupt firing almost exactly a month ago. ismorning, comey told the senate intelligence committee under oath about a series of interactions with the president over the past six months, laying out a devastating assessment of the president's conduct and character and accusing the president and his white house of lying to the american people about why he was fired. >> the administration then chose to defame me and, more importantly, the fbi by saying that the organization was in disarray, that it was poorly led, that the workforce had lost confidence in its leader. those were lies plain and simple. >> asked why he took the unprecedented step after their first meeting to write memos documenting his run-ins with the president of the united states, comey cited, quote, the nature of the person he was speaking wi

"the washington post" reporting that special counsel robert mueller is now investigating the president of the united states for possible obstruction of justice. if true, this report would confirm what was only suggested last week in testimony by fired fbi director james comey. this story breaking in just the last hour or so comes on the heels of an absolutely wrenching day in washington after a gunman targeted republican lawmakers this morning in what appears to have been one of the most brazen acts of political violence in recent memory. five people were wounded, including member of house leadership steve scalise who remains in critical condition after being treated at a local hospital. others injured include zach barth, matt mica, crystal griner and david bailey. witnesses said the toll would likely have been far worse if capitol police on the scene had not responded immediately, shooting the gunman. he later died after bng taken to the hospital. the suspect has been identified as 6

i'm chris hayes. we are just 14 hours from the most anticipated congressional hearing in recent political memory. tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m., the former director of the fbi, james comey, will testify in front of the whole nation that the president of the united states repeatedly pressured him over the russia investigation before firing him abruptly last month. in written testimony released today by the senate intelligence committee, the former fbi director describes in detail a series of six one-on-one interactions with the president going back to the transition, which raised serious red flags. comey's account confirms some of the most explosive allegations reported by the press, that the president demanded the fbi director's loyalty during a private dinner at the white house. that he explicitly asked comey to drop the investigation into michael flynn after telling other officials to leave the room. and that comey pleaded with attorney general jeff sessions to prevent the president from continuing

i'm chris hayes. in sworn testimony today before the senate intelligence committee, attorney general jeff sessions proved an often evasive witness, saying he couldn't recall details about meetings with the russian ambassador and refusing to answer questions about his conversations with the president despite acknowledging the president has made no executive privilege claim. but on the question of collusion or possible collusion between russian operatives and the trump campaign on which he was a key adviser, the attorney general was unambiguous. >> the suggestion that i participated in any collusion, that i was aware of any collusion with the russian government to hurt this country, which i have served with honor for 35 years, or to undermine the integrity of our democratic process is an appalling and detestable lie. >> sessions insisted there was nothing improper in his two known meetings with the russian ambassador, sergey kislyak, but he did not entirely rule out the possibility of a third encounter

my colleague, chris hayes, has really gotten himself into this story in a big way.ve another big development in a story we told you about yesterday. after saudi arabia, egypt, bahrain, the united arab emirates and yemen said monday they were breaking diplomatic relations with qatar, a top iranian official now says iran could send food shipments to qatar by ship. for more, i want to bring in my colleague, ali arouzi. he's written a great article on msnbc.com, which you should read. because this is a potentially unintended consequence of this break with qatar. normally, and it has happened in the past, these neighbors have broken with qatar to influence their foreign policy. but there are grocery stores in qatar going without food, because you can't get anything out of there by road unless you go through saudi arabia. >> exactly. they're in a land border with skraib, so if they want to get food in there, it has to come in from saudi, and we're seeing pictures of empty supermarket shelves in dohdoha, which is relatively unheard of. so the iranians want to exploit that,
