Robert Mueller indicts 12 Russians: |
| Special counsel Robert Mueller has indicted 12 Russian intelligence officers in the hacking of the Democratic National Committee. http://bit.ly/2zI6RJM Timing: The indictments come just two days before President Trump’s highly anticipated summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. How we know: Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein just held a press conference about the indictments. The announcement: “The announcement Friday followed much the same form as the one five months ago in which Rosenstein revealed that Mueller had indicted 13 Russians on fraud charges who allegedly engaged in an elaborate plot to interfere in the presidential election.” Read the actual indictment: http://bit.ly/2JpE8su Livestream of the press conference: http://bit.ly/2L3zFRp Tidbit — well this is awkward: The Hill’s Ben Kamisar tweeted before the announcement: “An embargo is only good if people aren't live-streaming the press room as reporters read aloud what's about to go down with the Rosenstein presser......” Then a few minutes later, he added: “THE EMBARGO IS LIFTED, DOJ says after realizing what happened. Whups...” http://bit.ly/2uv3Gix |

What fun is having a grievance if you don't publicly air it?: |
| President Trump gave a bombshell interview to the British newspaper The Sun where he criticized British Prime Minister Theresa May on her Brexit strategy. The line that's getting traction: "I would have done it much differently," Trump said of May's Brexit strategy. "I actually told Theresa May how to do it, but she didn't listen to me. ... She should negotiate the best way she knows how. But it is too bad what is going on." The full interview in The Sun: http://bit.ly/2KQOKWW |
| |
| THEN AFTER THE INTERVIEW: |
| Trump said he's still tight with May: When asked about his interview with The Sun, President Trump said his relationship with British Prime Minister Theresa May is strong. "The relationship is very, very strong ... very, very good," Trump said, according to pool reports. http://bit.ly/2LfDcJ9 And he says he apologized to her: "President Trump says he apologized for The Sun coverage at the beginning of his meeting today with PM May: 'I said, I want to apologize, because I said such good things about you.' Her response, he says: 'Don't worry, it's just the press.' " Just the press :( :( http://bit.ly/2Ne2DeI Aaand he even said he likes her Brexit strategy: During a joint press conference with May, Trump said he supports May on her Brexit strategy. "Whatever you're going to do is OK with us," Trump said. http://bit.ly/2JiHwFK

| ALSO DURING THE PRESS CONFERENCE: |
| Trump vs. CNN, scene 398: President Trump lashed out at CNN correspondent Jim Acosta when he tried to ask a question. In Trump's words: "CNN is fake news. I don't take questions from CNN," Trump said. Watch: http://bit.ly/2KUc1Ht Trump warns Europe: Trump warned Europe about the influx of immigrants. In Trump's words: "I think they better watch themselves because you are changing culture, you are changing a lot of things, you're changing security. It's a very sad situation. It's very unfortunate, but I do not think it's good for Europe and I don't think it's good for our country." http://bit.ly/2uDsc1d |

President Trump's meeting with Vladimir Putin -- what could possibly go wrong here?!: |
| Via The Hill's Niall Stanage, President Trump's upcoming meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin is causing new levels of anxiety after the rocky NATO summit in Brussels. http://bit.ly/2JlBHqP Meeting details: Trump will meet Putin in Helsinki, Finland, on Monday. What happened at NATO summit: -- Trump blasted U.S. allies for not spending enough on defense. -- He criticized Germany for a deal it made for Russian natural gas -- He reportedly suggested the United States could "go it alone" if other countries did not boost their financial commitments. http://bit.ly/2JlBHqP |

| REACTION TO TRUMP'S NATO COMMENTS -- DAMAGE CONTROL FROM THE PENTAGON: |
| Via NBC's Carol E. Lee, Courtney Kube and Geoff Bennett, U.S. military leaders have been calling European countries to reassure the United States' commitment to the NATO alliance. Why: "Damage control" after the president's comments. https://nbcnews.to/2KTcM3G |

Do not drink tap water in D.C. I repeat: Do. Not. Drink. The. Water.: |
| Via NBC Washington, D.C. Water has warned thousands of D.C. residents to boil tap water because of a possible contamination near Howard University. How long it will last: The advisory is expected to last 24–48 hours. Keep in mind: Showering is OK, but avoid swallowing any water. Map of the affected areas -- wow that is extensive: http://bit.ly/2JlgltP |
| |
| WAIT, SO WHAT HAPPENED?: |
| "The problem happened around 8:30 p.m. Thursday when an open valve at the Bryant Street pumping station caused a loss of pressure in parts of the distribution system for about an hour, D.C. Water said in a statement." The loss of pressure may have allowed contaminants into the water. https://wapo.st/2uikpGy |

I fully expect this hearing to re-air on Bravo: |

- The questioning turned personal, prompting outrage.
- Strzok hit back at Republicans.
- There are some things Strzok won't talk about.
- There's more to come with former FBI lawyer Lisa Page's testimony.
