request, or is the request from the committee sufficient for the white house to go ahead and do what matt miller just described? >> the committee's request is the one that matters. mcconnell will always say i defod defer to chuck grassley. but i do think the question that matt raised is the right one and i meant to mention that at the top. the statement does say credible allegations. and i do think that that demand is likely to come, at least in part, from the senators. so what do jeff flake, susan collins, lisa murkowski think are the credible allegation gops they want julie swetnick's allegations visit gated, for example? or do they want to set that to the side? are we only looking at the incident from dr. christine blasey ford? the committee had been in receipt of a couple anonymous allegations, some that seemed more credible than others. is any of that going to be subject to the investigation? and i'm sure that the administration is going to have a lot of say there. but again, let's just not forget that the leverage is with flake, collins and murkowski. so we're going to have to let them def

matt miller, stay with me. want to bring in gabe sherman, reporting breaking tonight that the white house communications director has a media strategy to build public support for, guess what, donald trump to fire rod rosenstein. what are you hearing, gabe? >> this is obviously something the president has been wanting to do for months now. internal pushback.
