Paul Manafort is suing the Department of Justice. The suit challenges the authority of Special Counsel Robert Mueller and alleges the Justice Department violated the law in appointing Mueller. Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) reacts to the breaking news.
Cohen called the lawsuit rather novel and unique. "I think its an unusual attack and I think it probably shows Manafort knows the facts are against him," said Cohen.
"I think we are going to find out this is one of the most awful and disgusting periods in the history of American government," said Cohen.
On Wednesday bipartisan congressional leaders gathered at the White House to meet with OMB Director Mick Mulvaney to discuss the budget deal ahead of the January 19 deadline. Cohen says he expects a deal to be reached, and a government shutdown will be avoided.
