OnPolitics Today: From DACA to dossiers

with Jessica Estepa

President Trump presides over a meeting about immigration

Today ran the gamut from a (more-or-less) public negotiation over the fates of hundreds of thousands of people, the (Breitbart) end of Steve Bannon and the revelation that the FBI had a source at the Trump Organization.

Just a typical Tuesday, really.

Happy day, OP fam. Keep up with the latest, subscribe here and let's go.

DACA dreams

For nearly an hour on Tuesday, the public witnessed President Trump try to do the thing he says he does best: make deals. The cameras rolled as he and lawmakers went back and forth over immigration reform. The biggest takeaway: Trump promised to sign a "bill of love" that would extend protections for 800,000 undocumented people who entered the United States as children - as long as Congress worked out the details.

"You folks are going to have to come up with a solution," Trump told them. "And if you do, I'm going to sign that solution."

The second biggest takeaway: That, for Trump, the deal must include funding for a border wall.

Bye, Bannon

Ex-White House adviser Steve Bannon on Tuesday officially parted ways with the ultraconservative Breitbart News. It was only a matter of time, really, after Bannon's comments about the Trump White House were made public last week ahead of the release of an explosive new book about Trump's first months in office. That led to a key Breitbart funder saying she would no longer fund Bannon projects.

Bannon on his exit from Breitbart: "I'm proud of what the Breitbart team has accomplished in so short a period of time in building out a world-class news platform."

Stay tuned for what, if any, role he'll play in that revolution he wanted to lead against the Republican establishment.

Dossier dabbling

Remember The Dossier, the controversial document that alleges ties between Donald Trump and the Kremlin? Christopher Steele, the former British spy who authored the dossier, was told that the FBI had a source at the Trump Organization that lent some credibility to his findings, according to the firm that hired him.

So why are we hearing about it now? Sen. Diane Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, on Tuesday made an interview with this revelation public (much to the chagrin of committee chairman Chuck Grassley).

"The innuendo and misinformation circulating about the transcript are part of a deeply troubling effort to undermine the investigation into potential collusion and obstruction of justice," Feinstein said. "The only way to set the record straight is to make the transcript public."
