THE LEAD STORY: Speculation is at a fever pitch with the anticipated announcement of at least one indictment in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russia during the 2016 election ... An announcement could come as early as today. The Wall Street Journal reported at least one person could be taken into custody. The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., predicted Sunday on ABC News' "This Week" that two prominent Trump campaign associates believed to be at the center of the investigation — former White House national security adviser Michael Flynn and former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort — could be indicted.

FOLLOW THE MONEY: Congressional Republicans are not convinced Democratic leaders do not remember who funded the infamous Trump dossier about his alleged ties to Russia and may want former DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Former Hillary Clinton campaign manager John Podesta to testify again on the Hill ... Wasserman Schultz and Podesta told Senate investigators last month that they had no knowledge of their party funding the Trump dossier. But Wasserman Schultz was the DNC chair and Podesta headed Clinton's campaign when both groups purportedly paid millions for research that led to the dossier, The Washington Post reported last week. South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, suggested on "Fox News Sunday" cast doubt on Podesta and Wasserman Schultz's claim that they didn’t know who paid for the dossier. Maine GOP Sen. Susan Collins, a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said Podesta and Wasserman Schultz "absolutely need to be recalled" before the panel.

BOEHNER UNLEASHED: Former House Speaker John Boehner, who retired in October 2015, has some very choice words for his former colleagues in Congress ... The Ohio Republican talked to Politico Magazine in a lengthy profile about the widening political divide in America. He saved the expletives for a blistering critique of conservatives who worked alongside him. Among them: Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., who became the chairman of the House Oversight Committee after Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, announced his resignation from Congress, and Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, who helped found the House’s Freedom Caucus, which frequently clashed with Boehner. "Gowdy — that's my guy, even though he doesn’t know how to dress,” Boehner said. “F--- Jordan. F--- [Jason] Chaffetz. They're both a--holes.” Boehner called Chaffetz a "total phony" more obsessed with self-promotion than the American people. Chaffetz, who resigned from Congress in June and is a Fox News contributor, has not immediately responded.
EMOTIONAL TESTIMONY EXPECTED IN BERGDAHL SENTENCING: Testimony will to resume today in the sentencing phase of Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl, with the wife of a severely wounded soldier expected take the stand on his behalf ... Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl faces up to life in prison after pleading guilty to desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. He was held captive by Taliban allies for five years after abandoning his remote post in 2009, and prosecutors are presenting evidence that his disappearance endangered those who searched for him. Master Sgt. Mark Allen was among the troops who suffered severe injuries during an ambush while searching for Bergdahl. A head injury has left him wheelchair-bound and unable to speak, requiring assistance for everyday tasks such as getting out of bed. Allen's wife is expected to testify today.

- From Fox News Opinion: Ralph Peters: Bergdahl sentencing isn't about him -- It's about setting an example for any future traitors
