You swear that the testimony you're about to give before this committee will be the truth,

the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help you God.

It's early 2017 and former Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, the first sitting senator to endorse

Trump way back in February of 2016, is about to land his dream job. It doesn't take too long

for that dream to lurch into a nightmare. How do you plan to address those concerns?

special counsel had been appointed, the president slumped back in his chair and said,

Oh my god, this is terrible. This is the end of my presidency. I'm f***ed. How could you let this
