JOHN DICKERSON, HOST: Today on FACE THE NATION: The president fires the FBI director, and the White House struggles to get its story straight. TRUMP: But, regardless of recommendation, I was going to fire Comey. When I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said, you know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story.

GATES: You know, I fired a lot of senior people myself. DICKERSON: And we will be right back with a lot more FACE THE NATION, including more of our interview with former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and more of our panel. DICKERSON: Welcome back to FACE THE NATION. DICKERSON: But in this care the president said he made his decision for reason "x."

5:35 a.m. update: Gates stuck on 394 carpool lanes
The gates to the carpool lane on eastbound 394 at Hwy. 100 are stuck in the down position and MnDOT has been unable to get them open. Until crews are successful, HOT lane drivers will have to use the general lanes. There is better news for drivers who access the HOT lanes from Hwy. 100. Those gates are open and drivers can access the lanes from both directions of Hwy. 100. Watch out for a stall blocking the center lane on the ramp from southbound 94 to 7th Street/Lyndale Avenue in Minneapolis. In St. Paul, the wreck that had been blocking the center lane of northbound 35E at W. 7th Street has cleared. In Minneapolis, Cedar Avenue remains closed from I-94 and Riverside Avenue as crews continue to investigate the fire which destroyed a building that housed 10 apartments and a grocery store on New Year's Day.
