richard cordray, an obama appointee formally resigned and named his chief of staff director. it sets up a political and legal clash here and the question of who is in charge when employees return to work on monday. massachusetts senator elizabeth warren who helped create the cfpb tweeted this. the dodd-frank act is clear. donald trump can't override that but the administration can appoint a current government official into a new job, as long as they're confirmed by the senate under the federal vacancies act to serve in an official capacity. the cfpb was created to protect consumers and keep an eye on wall street. republicans argue the agency has too much power, not enough oversight and establish what they see as is anti-government regulations. mulvaney once called a sick and sad joke. president trump will ultimately nominate a permanent director. the opening is a chance for a major overhaul of the bureau. with us now, cnn correspondent, abby philip is here now. good morning, abby. i know while serving in congress, a south carolina congressman mule veinny wanted to kill this a

the president instead nominated his office of management and budget director nick mulvaney to be an interim chief until there is a permanent person named and confirmed about the senate. so this is an internal trugle over power over an agency that from its inception has been politically charged. richard cordray was appointed by president obama. he is leaving the office to go back to ohio to run for governor as a democrat. so you could see the political overtones in this. the white house is saying there is a vacancy at t-- statute to their own choice. >> and that organization helping some 29 million americans since it was created. nbc news kelly o'donnell. thank you for bringing us up to date. >>> a new report claims robert mueller is reportedly looking into flynn's -- michael flynn's financial ties to the turkish government. what could mean for michael flynn and the russian investigation. i just got my cashback match, is this for real? yep. we match all the cash back new cardmembers earn at the end of their first year, automatically. whoo! i got my money! hard to contain yourself, isn't it?

. >> i wouldn't go so far as nick went. i think it is interesting and notable, the idea of russian women to donald trump's hotel room was raised. you can't imagine that offer being made to barack obama or george w. bush. i think that's why people are reacting to this. as she said, there is a history of russian, particularly at this hotel. it is reputed to be wired for sound and video by the russian intelligence services. >> would you need more though, right? >> you don't have proof beyond a reasonable doubt or even a preponderance of the evidence. if you look at the caring of the individual involved. you look at the witness involved. and his closeness to trump. the fact that he even mention that's there is an offer of five women to go to his hotel room and you compare that to the steele dossier, it corroborates half the story. it is not like there was nothing ever said about prostitutes or women. >> as we always get, a theory of the case. we may be talking about this again at some point. thank you all. up next, jeff session

are at least credible accounts will be considered a bell weather state and virginia trending democrat nick recent years. they basically held serve. kevin: i think you're bringing a great point specially about virginia because they voted for hillary clinton as well as barack obama, so i think we can't read too far into it but are you concerned about the agenda and what's getting done in washington and what that impact will have on next year's elections because right now, you know, we are seeing the senate and the house being on two, you know, in the same book but two different pages on tax cuts? >> i think what you're seeing the legislative process working. you have basically the same framework for both house and senate and slight differences on both of the bills and they will get together and work those out. i will compare it to a supporting event, right now i think we have too many people that are trying to say that after every play the game has been decided, this is how -- this is how the system works, you've got to broad framework in place, focusing on middle class, focusing on corporat
