President Obama faces tough questions
President Obama facing reporters, for his first major press conference since April. He did it just before leaving for a week-long vacation in Martha's Vineyard. Some of the toughest questions were about his relationship with Russian President Putin, Edward Snowden, and the NSA programs he exposed. Wolf discussed all of it with senior political analyst David Gergen, chief White House correspondent Jessica Yellin and chief Congressional correspondent Dana Bash.
Michele Bachmann's political legacy
John King and David Gergen discuss why Rep. Michele Bachmann won't run again in 2014 and how her legislative career will be remembered by her colleagues and constituents.
In a video statement, Bachmann said her decision has nothing to do with an ethics investigation into her presidential campaign or her concerns about not winning another election.
But King points out she won by fewer than 5,000 votes last time she ran. "The Republicans win today by having Michele Bachmann step aside," he says. "The leadership would prefer a different candidate."

Gergen: IRS scandal not a partisan issue
Editor's note: On AC360° David Gergen and Dana Bash discussed the controversy surrounding the IRS targeting conservative groups.
The Internal Revenue Service has identified two "rogue" employees in the agency's Cincinnati office as being principally responsible for "overly aggressive" handling of requests by conservative groups for tax-exempt status, a congressional source told CNN.
In a meeting on Capitol Hill, acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller described the employees as being "off the reservation," according to the source. It was not clear precisely what the alleged behavior involved.
