Labor secretary Alex Acosta resigns -- deciding his role in a sweetheart deal for accused sex offender Jeffrey Epstein more than a decade ago is too much of a political headache for President Trump heading into his re-election campaign.
Plus, Mueller delayed -- the special counsel's long-awaited congressional testimony is being pushed back a week -- to July 24th now -- as lawmakers try to negotiate a deal for Robert Mueller to spend more time taking questions.
And a 30-minute session with reporters this morning is trademark Trump. A lot of insults, a lot of twisted facts, plus takes on house speakers past and present. Republican Paul Ryan gets a tongue lashing, and Democrat Nancy Pelosi gets an endorsement of sorts.
Today's Panel: Olivier Knox with SiriusXM, Toluse Olorunnipa with The Washington Post, Margaret Talev with Bloomberg, and CNN's Dana Bash.
Also, on the Program: CNN's Kaitlan Collins and Manu Raju.
