Two words that have been central to President Trump's persona for more than a decade sent shockwaves through Washington this week: "You're fired." Lawmakers are grappling with the consequences of the abrupt removal of FBI Director James Comey and what it may mean for the continuing investigations into Russia's meddling in last year's presidential election.
Democratic senators are calling for a special prosecutor to investigate ties between Trump's campaign and Russian officials. The acting FBI director told the Senate Intelligence Committee that the bureau's probe will continue and that the White House has not tried to impede the inquiry.
Robert Costa will explore the fallout of Trump’s decision to fire the FBI director with:
Pete Williams of NBC News
Margaret Brennan of CBS News
Erica Werner of the Associated Press
Dan Balz of The Washington Post
