FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who has drawn criticism from President Trump, has stepped down from his current role, several weeks earlier than his expected retirement date, a U.S. official says.

Also, White House officials say the tone of President Trump's first State of the Union address Tuesday night will be one of bipartisanship, after a tumultuous year in politics.

NPR's Domenico Montanaro (@DomenicoNPR) joins Here & Now's Robin Young to preview the speech, and discuss the week ahead in politics.
