joining me now, kevin vili from bloomberg politics reporting and jonathan allen, co-author of "shattered" about hillary clinton's 2016 loss, thank you both for joining me this morning. so kevin let's talk about the news conference yesterday. the president said 100% that he would speak to the special counselor under oath about what he told james comey. do you think that will actually happen and can he refuse if robert mueller asks him? >> well of course the president will have the right with his attorney to do what they feel is legally justified. the bottom line is that this white house, this administration, this republican-controlled congress cannot move beyond this issue until the results of the russia probe are made public. and i got to be candid here. i've spoken with several top republicans in the senate and the house of representatives who have privately and now increasingly publicly expressed frustration at the notion they're not going to be able to get to things like tax reform, health care reform. financial policy. until all of this is done. yesterday i interviewed house freedom
