we talked to jonathan swan of axios and peter beinart of cnn and "the atlantic." there is a story that sessions, and i can imagine this is true, tried to resign or went in and offered his resignation. >> yeah, that's accurate. that's accurate. he did. it wasn't quite as dramatic as has been reported. sessions basically said to him, you know, if you feel it's the right thing to do, you know, i'm happy to resign. it was very much out of a sense of honor. although i've talked to people close to sessions and they say, since his resignation, he's really enjoying the job and doesn't want to leave, but even they wonder how much longer he can sort of withstand the public humiliation of the president of the united states. >> rose: we conclude this evening with a discussion of health care in a conversation with andrew slavitt, mike leavitt and congressman joseph crowley. >> i think you can get republicans and democrats to in congress to agree on three things. >> rose: right. the first is the fee for service system is at the heart of the problem. the second is coordinated ca

me, is: joining with peter beinart, his latest article is "how trump might fire robert mueller."efore we get to mueller with jeff sessions, what is the latest on that, jonathan? jonathan: we are in such a dysfunctional situation. i'm getting calls from the justice department asking if jeff sessions is going to get fired, when is he going to get fired? i don't know. i refer to donald trump's tweets. this is all this psychodrama laying out and no one in the white house is quite sure what he is going to do. what we do know, if you roll the tape forward a little bit, is if you does try to do an appointment -- there is some speculation he could try to replace sessions in the august recess -- chuck schumer did a speech this morning on the senate floor, which nobody noticed, it was a very important speech, he said we're not going to let you do that. we are not going to allow the recess to happen. donald trump is left without good options here. charlie: you asked, peter, why is trump doing this other than he hates the russian probe, i guess the other answer is he is donald trump. peter:
