In this passage from his absorbing new book, ‘The Apprentice,’ Washington Post reporter Greg Miller unpacks the fallout from Trump’s decision to fire FBI Director James Comey.

Oscar-winning filmmaker Charles Ferguson, whose new film and miniseries ‘Watergate’ opens in L.A. on Oct. 19, writes about why impeaching a president is far tougher these days.

The president frames the deputy attorney general’s future around their ‘relationship,’ not faithfulness to the Constitution. This threatens Mueller, even if his boss isn’t fired.

He is meeting with President Trump on Thursday.

It’s not even clear yet if the deputy attorney general is actually going anywhere. But Trump’s lawyers still want his exit to block, if temporarily, the Russia investigation.

Two sources told The Daily Beast that FBI lawyer Lisa Page was present for Rod Rosenstein’s comments on secret recordings and did not believe he was joking or being sarcastic.

"Most people here are talking about the very real possibility that Rod is on his way out,” said one senior Justice official.
