This week on BACKROOM POLITICS.... The House Intelligence Committee begins a series of hearings to investigate both the Trump camp's interaction with Russia, the Russian influence on the election and the validity of the President's wiretap accusations against President Obama...we will have the latest.... and does the FBI Director and NSA Director BOTH debunking the wiretap allegation harm the credibility of Donald Trump?  Does it hurt the credibility of the Oval Office?  Judge Gorsuch began confirmation hearings this week...is this a fight that the Dems want to take up in the Senate...is he that conservative?  Also, the President released his "skinny budget"...IS IT TOO SKINNY?  What does this budget say about the Trump agenda AND what can we REALLY expect?

The CBO has scored the TRUMPCARE Bill introduced in the House...is it a good replacement for OBAMACARE? Will it sell with the Middle Class? Will it sell with Trump supporters?  The House Intelligence Committee begins investigating the President's claim that the Obama Administration (and the former President himself) wiretapped then candidate Trump's phone at Trump Tower.  How dangerous a tightrope is the President walking on this topic?
