lawmakers on capitol hill think it is a big deal and several republicans i spoke with yesterday including house freedom caucus chairman mark meadows suggested that special counsel robert mueller should be looking into these emails as well as other conversations. there also have been increasing calls for donald trump, jr. as well as jared kushner and paul manafort the campaign manager at the time to testify publicly. i spoke with a democrat on the senate intelligence committee yesterday evening. senator mark warner, a democrat from virginia, to make some sense of this. listen to what he told me. examplenever seen an when an agent of a foreign government, if foreign government that is an adversary who is trying to interfere in our election. the whole intelligence community has reached out in this way and then have a campaign respond with any legitimate campaign official would know that you don't take this kind of help from foreign adversary. kevin: federal reserve chairman -- chairwoman janet yellen will testify today and also, christopher wray, president trump's nominee to replace james comey will have his testimony before the senate judiciary to see the fbi director a

robert mueller and the senate. thanks very much, manu raju on capitol hill.ant to go back to senator chris coons. >>> what do you make of this eighth person, this mystery person as he's been described, all of a sudden also showing up at that meeting? >> well, wolf, it's really sfrieking that donald trump, jr., the president's son, his son-in-law jared kushner, and his campaign manager paul manafort, had what was initially presented as just a brief meeting about russian adoption. and as the days have gone by, we hear about a fourth person, 6th person, seventh person, now eighth person. and it raises questions for me about whether any of the representations that we've gotten publicly about what went on at this meeting, igts its purpose and it's out come. >> diane feinstein said mueller, the special counsel, has given the all clear for the committee to go ahead and question donald trump, jr. and paul manafort, the campaign chairman at the time. do you know when that will take place? >> well, the schedule in the senate has been uncertain because of the challenges

hill? what would happen with your republican colleagues? >> as much as he's saying robert mueller might be crossing a line, i think president trump would be crossing a clear line and would provoke a fire storm, bipartisan, my republican colleagues i think would be outraged, along with the country. and what we'd see, i would help to lead it, is legislation creating a special prosecutor, much as happened in watergate, appointed by a three-judge panel that would be independent of the president of the united states. so he would be unable to draw any lines. for him to say it is improper, unethical and probably illegal. >> if you think trump would find a way to fire mueller. which would include the recusal of rod rosenstein or firing him too, do you think the republicans would join in a special law for a special prosecutor. >> my conversations with colleagues lead me to believe there would be a substantial number if he would fire robert mueller who would join in this effort. we're one country, we want the rule of law for donald trump to implicitly threaten to fire a special coun

john roberts is at the white house, but we begin with peter doocy on capitol hill. >> the majority leader the white house has more time to pitch repeal and replace two republican senators who may be skeptical. that includes this white house lunch that they are going to depart the capitol for about a half hour from now. we were just inside one of the office buildings catching up with a few of the republicans and asked them how they think this lunch could possibly advance repeal then replace. >> i'm not going there to make demands, i'm going to listen to see how we can find common ground. >> hopefully he's going to be persuasive and let the people know that republicans refuse to vote. that means therefore obamacare and they have to understand that and hopefully that message gets across. >> i think the president and vice president are so committed to moving forward to try and improve the health care system. that's a very helpful thing. we'll see what that produces, but it can't be harmful. >> a source close to mitch mcconnell says he is ready to bring a repeal vote to the floor, even if he k

hill. i think the move would be seen as being not about jeff sessions, but about robert mueller, this is --ould be seen as the first step in trying to remove him. if he made this, even though it's maybe a more subtle way to get rid of attorney general sessions, many people on the hill would see it for what it is, and it may cause a lot of problems. >> a close to kelly tells cnn kelly plans to implement process first. we have scaramucci reporting to the president, don't forget ivanka and jared. and steve bannon. >> i think he has no choice. what they've got is chaos, and that's alet of the reason why reince priebus failed as chief of staff. he was set up for failure. it seems obvious that general kelly would want to try to tame the zoo. the $64,000 question is whether or not president trump wants that. we keep hearing the president loves competing power centers. he loves when his senior aids bicker with each other. he thinks that creates the best outcomes. general kelly is not going to be able to impose a process or any type of structure that president trump is not amenable too. you have thi
