On today’s episode:

• Michael S. Schmidt, who covers national security for The Times.

• Senator Chuck Schumer of New York.

Background reading:

• President Trump ordered the firing of the special counsel amid the first wave of news reports that Robert S. Mueller III was examining a possible obstruction case.

• Mr. Trump proposed a path to citizenship for as many as 1.8 million young undocumented immigrants in exchange for an end to family-based migration policies, a border wall with Mexico and a vast crackdown on other immigrants. But the offer was immediately rejected by a bipartisan group of lawmakers.

• Most Americans want protections for those young immigrants. These people do not.
