• McConnell: Senate will work through first two weeks of August recess. Cal says: “Finally, an answer for Senate Republicans who can’t seem to reach a deal on Obamacare: People Are Getting Exorcisms Instead of Going to the Doctor.

• Donald Trump Jr. tweets email chain that he says is about his meeting with a Russian lawyer.
• Confirmation hearings for Christopher Wray, President Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI director, are set to begin Wednesday, just over two months following the firing of James Comey — a move that set off a sequence of events that amplified the investigation into Russian meddling into last year’s presidential election, and potential collusion with the Trump campaign. Wray, an assistant attorney general under President George W. Bush who currently works as a lawyer in private practice, was nominated by Trump in June to lead the bureau.
