Outside the Beltway

Based on his just released opening testimony, tomorrow’s testimony by Former F.B.I. Director James Comey is likely to be explosive.

Most Americans believe that President Trump has been actively trying to block the F.B.I.’s Russia investigation

The Trump Administration will not try to stop former F.B.I. Director James Comey from testifying before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Thursday.

Former F.B.I. Director James Comey is now expected to testify before Congress next week, and will reportedly confirm previous reports that the President pressured him to end the Bureau’s Russia investigation.

The President’s Son-In-Law has reportedly become a ‘focus’ of the ongoing F.B.I. investigation. That puts the President in a very awkward position.

A new poll reports that most Americans don’t believe the President when it comes to key parts of the Russia investigation.

Yet another report that the President of the United States sought to undermine an ongoing F.B.I. investigation.

Lt. General Michael Flynn is declining to comply with a Congressional subpoena regarding the Russia investigation, and invoking his rights under the Fifth Amendment.

Coming to a television set or Internet livestream near you sometime after Memorial Day.

If you have to have an acting attorney general as it relates to one of the biggest issues of the moment, you may have picked the wrong AG.

The Russia investigation seems to be getting closer to the Oval Office.

The evidence that President Trump fired James Comey in an effort to quash the Russia investigation continues to mount.

After news of the appointment of a special counsel in the Russia investigation, Donald Trump’s persecution complex was on full display.

The Trump White House knew Michael Flynn was under investigation and named him National Security Adviser anyway.

Even with the revelations of the last three weeks, impeaching the President is still largely a fantasy.

Another day, another allegation against the President. This time, though, it’s very, very serious.

There seems to be no question that the decision to fire James Comey was motivated largely by the President’s frustrations over the fact that his campaign is under investigation.

More trouble for Lt. General Michael Flynn.

Lt. General Michael Flynn wants immunity before he agrees to testify before Congress. This could be significant, or it could mean nothing at all.

Two big admissions from the Director of the F.B.I. today are likely to lead to real political headaches for the Trump Administration.

More conflicts of interest for the Trump Administration.

Another day, another round of reports about contacts with Russian officials and people close to President Trump.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions apparently misled Senators when asked about his contact with Russian officials.

Chaos inside the Trump Administration is causing people to turn down lucrative positions.

For seventy-seven minutes yesterday, President Trump held forth in a press conference that confirmed the most dire predictions about what he’d be like as President.

The President’s choice for Labor Secretary withdrew his name from consideration yesterday, but this is just the latest example of what has been a transition that has largely consisted of fumble after fumble by the Trump team.

The story about the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia didn’t start with Michael Flynn, and it isn’t going to end with his resignation.

An unsurprising ‘resignation’ from the shortest-serving National Security Adviser in history.

Could National Security Adviser Michael Flynn be the first to go under Trump?

In a closer than normal vote for the position, Rex Tillerson has been confirmed as Secretary of State.

Three of the top four national security positions in Donald Trump’s Cabinet will be filled by retired Generals. This isn’t necessarily a good thing.

I’m in the New York Times’ “Room for Debate” with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand and Duke’s Peter Feaver.

For Donald Trump, it appears that ignorance is bliss.

A controversial retired General has been tapped to be President-Elect Trump’s top White House foreign policy voice.

Most in the international relations community are not amused by the president’s National Security Strategy.

Apparently, the buck doesn’t stop in the Oval Office these days.
