BALDWIN: Let's get to the breaking news now from the Justice Department. The President Obama former White House counsel has been indicted. CNN reporter, Kara Scannell, is in Washington with the details. This is Greg Craig, indicted on making false statements.</s>KARA SCANNELL, CNN REPORTER: That is right, Brooke. Another indictment today. This time it is Greg Craig, the former White House counsel under President Obama, who is a partner at this well-respected law firm. He was indicted today for making false statements and for concealing information from DOJ's FARA Unit. We've talked about FARA in the past couple of months relating to the foreign lobbying and undisclosed foreign lobbying. This case was referred out from the special counsel's office. Greg Craig was working for the Ministry of Finance for the Ukraine. And the prosecutors are saying he did not -- he was not honest with DOJ when he was describing the work he was doing for them. Now Craig has been under investigation for quite some time. His lawyers yesterday issued a statement saying that Greg Craig did not lie to the government when he spoke to them about his role. He maintains he was not lobbying and he was just advising on the accuracy of statements. This case now indicted. They were unable to forbid this indictment, able to push it off. They lost the argument with DOJ. And Greg Craig is expected to make his court appearance at a future date -- Brooke?</s>BALDWIN: Kara Scannell, thank you for the update there. Meantime, Michael Avenatti, the lawyer who represented Stormy Daniels, has just been indicted on 36 charges, three-six. Everything from perjury to theft. Hear what he allegedly did. Plus, it has been a wild week of hearings on Capitol Hill, full of testy face-offs. And we'll discuss each of them, next.
