Trump is sober. Remember this when you see him do anything.This is incredible.
I can't believe I'm saying this but I want Sessions to stick around. I need Trump to fire him after a coke-induced Friday night.

Paul Manafort will meet with Senate investigators in the next 48 hours and has agreed to provide notes of the meeting at Trump Tower last year with a Russian lawyer, according to a person close to the investigation.
This person said Manafort would answer questions about the June 9, 2016, meeting, which was precipitated by the attorney, Natalia Veselnitskaya, offering to help Donald Trump’s campaign by providing dirt on Clinton. Manafort, who was Trump’s campaign chairman at the time, will also provide contemporaneous notes of the session, this person said.
Manafort attended the entire meeting and was one of three senior campaign officials there, along with Donald Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. and son-in-law Jared Kushner, who left in the middle of the meeting.
Kushner met with Senate Intelligence Committee members on Monday.
It is unclear what else Manafort will be asked at the Senate session. He is under investigation for financial transactions by New York officials and is likely to face issues with disclosures for undisclosed foreign lobbying.
This person said it will be behind closed doors, as Kushner's Monday session was.
