News item after news item dominated the week, from the death of Roger Ailes to the revelation that Trump asked FBI director James Comey to end his Russia investigation.
Here’s the rundown of what happened:
Natasha Bertrand covered the consequences of Trump sharing highly classified information with Russia. National security experts told her Trump may have “breached his oath of office” while statements from McCain and HR McMaster deepened the intrigue.
She then explained why Trump’s decision matters and followed an interesting development about the information’s source.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein announced on Wednesday that he would appoint former FBI director Robert Mueller as special counsel overseeing the Trump-Russia investigation.
Former intelligence officials and national security experts told Sonam Sheth that Trump may have “gone from the frying pan into the fryer” and legal experts told Natasha that it might be time for Trump to lawyer up. Meanwhile, Sonam answered the question on everyone’s lips: How would an impeachment play out?
Mark Abadi noticed weeks ago that the Trump administration has a spelling problem, so he connected with pollsters to get them to find out how it could be affecting his image with the public. The verdict: not good.
Jeremy Berke talked with an unlikely activist for a revamp in marijuana policies — former Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Eugene Monroe, who wants the NFL to let players treat their injuries with medical marijuana instead opioid painkillers.

Max also broke the news about Gizmodo’s president leaving the company amid turmoil that has followed its acquisition by Univision.
