OnPolitics Today: But his emails

Ah, what a Tuesday, OP peeps. If there's one thing we know from the early days of the Trump administration, it's that we'll never, ever be bored.

Donald Trump, Jr., speaks during the 2016 Republican

What's happening today: Donald Trump Jr.'s emails. A (sort of) requiem for recess. Oh, and there's a major hearing happening tomorrow.

Let's go.

Email dramaz

So, as we told you yesterday, Donald Trump Jr. is in the middle of a political storm after reports surfaced about him meeting last year with a Russian lawyer to discuss dirt on Hillary Clinton. Now, here's the thing: That's true. How do we know? Because he not only tweeted a statement about it. He. Also. Tweeted. The. Entire. Email. Chain. That. Led. To. The. Meeting. In an email from last June, Rob Goldstone, an entertainment publicist who really loves Facebook, told Trump Jr. of incriminating information on Clinton (something that the lawyer Trump Jr. met with said she never had, btw) that was part of "Russia and its government's support of for Mr. Trump." Trump Jr.'s response: "If it's what you say I love it." Maybe that's why his dad thinks he's a "high quality person." As USA TODAY's Susan Page says it: Smoke, meet fire.

Miss you already, month-long recess

You know what happens when you don't have the votes to pass your proposed health care overhaul? You hold off on recess until you do have the votes. That's Senate Majority Mitch McConnell's plan, anyway. The Kentucky Republican said Tuesday that the chamber's traditional month-long recess wouldn't start until the third week of August . What are they going to do with that extra time on Capitol Hill? Work on health care, vote nominations on from the president and reauthorize the National Defense Authorization Act. Godspeed, Mitch.

Reminder: There's a major hearing tomorrow

The man who could become the head of the federal government's law enforcement arm will face a Senate panel on Wednesday. Christopher Wray, President Trump's pick to lead the FBI, will answer questions about his qualifications to be the agency's next director. So far, his nomination has been far overshadowed by the drama that led to the necessity of this entire process in the first place: the firing of former director James Comey and Comey's ensuing testimony that the president wanted him to drop an investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn. We doubt that Wray's confirmation hearing will contain that much drama (even for a man who served as a personal attorney of Chris Christie, governor of New Jersey and the man behind Beachgate). And honestly? Maybe that's for the best.
