Paul manafort, lied to investigators. Now, all in, its 188 pages. Obviously, im holding up the summary here of these lies. Despite some of the heavy redactions, which do continue on page after page, pages of blacked out text in some places, we are able to make some sense of this, via some of the places that are a bit less black. Mueller accusing manafort of lying about his communications with the Trump Administration. Communications that continued well into 2018. Thats the year that just ended, what, 14, 15 days ago . Just to reiterate the obvious, because its really important, communications well into 2018 is communications well into trumps presidency. And manafort who was at the center of the Mueller Probe under investigation was talking about getting jobs for people in the Trump Administration. Also in, this filing tonight. We see muellers focus on manaforts longtime russian associate, constantine kilimnik. Now, kilimnik is an important name. Mueller says hes an agent of putin, of russian intelligence. He appears to be a key player in the Mueller Probe. And this is crucial. Because kilimnik is reportedly the gobetween between manafort, right, Trumps Campaign chairman, and the russian oligarch, oleg deripaska, a close putin ally. A putin ally that team trump is trying to ease sanctions on right now. And that is proving to be too much for some republicans to stomach. Today in a stunning rebuke, republicans telling President Trump he is wrong when he went on fox news to claim this. I can tell you this. If you ask the folks in russian, ive been tougher on russia than anybody else, any other probably any other president , period. But certainly, the last three or four president s, modernday president s, nobodys been as tough as i have. From any standpoint. Not the toughest to republicans. Ten of them breaking with President Trump on russia. Joining Senate Democrats to advance a measure that would block a move by trumps Treasury Department to ease sanctions, to relax sanctions on three companies that are at the center of Oleg Deripaskas billions and billions dollars universe. Senator kennedy just moments ago, speaking to our manu raju, saying it is der paeska that ha proved a russian bridge too far. I have grave concerns about mr. Deripaska. Evan perez is outfront in washington to begin our coverage. And even, you know, this filing, as you know youve been reading through all of it with all of the backup documentation brings us even closer to the Trump Administration. You know, it really does. Because the filing describes that manafort is having these contacts into the administration, even while hes he was indicted. I mean, thats one of the things that is really stunning from this, the idea that youre having these contacts, while Paul Manafort is under indictment in 2018, right . Hes defending himself in these two trials. And you would think that people in the administration would try to, you know, sort of keep it arms length, given the fact that they know this investigation is ongoing. And what we learned, erin, is that as part of this investigation, Paul Manafort testified before the grand jury and apparently the grand jury is asking questions about the person you mentioned, constantine kilimnik, who the special counsel, who the fbi says is somebody who works with the gru, the russian intelligence agency. Thats one of the agencies that was behind the dnc hack. So i think you can take a step back here. I think you can start seeing that the mueller investigators are trying to connect some dots. Theres a lot of this, obviously, that we cannot see this in this filing so far, but it does appear that kilimnik is a very key part of this, is a very key part of the collusion case that the mueller investigators are still very much working on. All right. Thank you very much. And evan, just to make the point, again, kilimnik, the gobetween, according to mueller, right . Between manafort and oleg deripaska, who is at the center of this sanctions attempt by the Trump Administration to ease sanctions on deripaskas companies, right . Right, exactly. Thats exactly right. All right. Thank you very much, evan. Obviously, big developments this hour. And i want to go to john dean, former Nixon White House counsel, anne milgram, former white house prosecutor, and david gergen, former adviser to four president s, including nixon and clinton. David, let me start with you, as you put this together. You know, this is crucial, right . It goes into 2018. When we talk about manaforts lies, communications with the Trump Administration. And at the center of it is oleg deripaska. Oleg deripaska, who the Trump Administration tried to ease sanctions on his companies right now. How big of a rebuke against President Trump is this vote today, by 11 republicans who said, no . Deripaska is a bridge too far. John dean will remember as well as i do how things got very, very complicated in the white house and more and more suspicious and it turned out the suspicions were true. And what one sees here is a very complex case, but the fact that Paul Manafort, under indictment, continued to have contacts within the white house, that his gobetween leads back to deripaska and that this same administration is now trying to lift sanctions to give mr. Deripaska, you know, a free pass, in effect, or are lifting the sanctions against him and his companies, i think is stunning. It is its extraordinarily suspicious and i do think that republicans now are waking up to the fact that on this and other fronts, but particularly this russian issue, that they better be darned cautious, because were playing with real dynamite now. I mean, ann, it appears real dynamite. Were talking about, as evan said, under indictment Paul Manafort is talking to people in the Trump Administration, a sitting administration stunning. And it goes back to an agent, mueller says an agent of the russian government. Tide to a guy theyre trying to ease sanctions on. Yeah. I think theres two points worth making. First of all, the fact that manafort would reach out to the white house is not that surprising, because weve seen him, you know, allegedly obstruct justice while he was under indictment already. I mean, hes taken a number of actions. He tried to write an oped clearing his name. Whats stunning is that anyone in the white house would have communications with him, while the president is still under investigation by robert mueller, while the campaign is still under investigation. Thats stunning. The part about the sanctions is also, were in the middle of a criminal investigation where all of these names are mentioned as people who are associated with manafort, associated with putin, potential russian, you know, kilimnik is a known russian asset, intelligence asset. To be doing this in the middle of an investigation is just stunning. John dean . My reaction . Yep. It first of all, i im amazed. I looked at the affidavit and unfortunately, about 80 of the affidavit is blocked out. But i did notice that while they focus on five lies or five areas of lies, the agent says theres much more evidence than were even presenting it here. So this is just the tip of the iceberg. And the senate vote doesnt surprise me, for this reason. That underlying legislation passed like 98 to 2 in the senate. And it was bipartisan at the time, so its not surprising that and of course, the senate vote would be before mueller had made his filing, which would have even compounded it. But its going to take only a simple majority to proceed, sanctions and it likes theyve got it. Right. Now, of course, it puts the president in an awkward position, or hes got to decide, right . Which side is he going to take . Hes made clear which side hes on, but does he veto against his own party . David gergen, to have impeachment go through, youve got to have republicans onboard. Its a political question. So putting aside the technical term of conspiracy and who theres anything there, does the move you see here from republicans to say, look, this is too far, well vote against, could it end up bag small predictor of what is possible or not . It is i think we ought to be very cautious on this. The what the republicans are objecting to now is far short of the republicans potential voting on impeachment. There have to be a lot more here, but it does show that the republican unity is cracking on this and orr fronts. Such as the shutdown. And that the president does not command the is not in command the way he once was. Hes much more vulnerable, hes thrashing around. And all of that is to suggest that this has gotten a lot manufacture seriomore serious. I also think, frankly, were looking at a longer period of time for mueller than we thought. We thought it might be a matter of days, not weeks. It looks like it could be months. One last thing, erin. The bar the william barr testimony today, i think, really is going to come right down to the middle of this, because he clearly, as welcome as many of his comments were and his stance on transparency and everything else, he very clearly left the impression that the Mueller Report, which the public has been waiting for, may not ever see the light of day. Yep. What we may see is a barr report. I dont think thats going to go down well with the country. And well be talking much more about that in just a moment. Ann, when you take it together, where do you think we are . Everyone says, oh, were close to the end here. In part, because rosenstein said he was ready to go, and he had indicated that he wouldnt do that until mueller is gone. But now youve got these filings, youve got new people that theyre looking at, they say, related to jerome corsi and roger stone. Is it possible that theres a lot longer of a runway here than we thought, as steven said . I think mueller is going to want to wrap up as soon as he can. That level of redaction shows that theres still a lot that we dont know. But remember that mueller may have already put a lot of evidence into the grand jury. He may just not have voted an indictment out. Interesting. So in terms of timing, i think its months, i dont think were looking at years, but i agree with david, its not tomorrow. Theres work still and as some were thinking, were weeks away. I guess its possible, but this would indicate, possibly, were not. This indicates theres a lot we still dont know. I think thats the main thing. And that theres more action that theyre going to take. Where they are in the process of presenting a case, thats the piece were missing. But i think its important for viewers to hear, yao aou ale saying, theres a lot we dont know. We like to think, we know. If you look at these redactions, thats extremely clear. John, the wall street journal is also reporting tonight that trumps longtime fixer and lawyer, Michael Cohen, who is going to jail for crimes he committed at trumps direction, according to tor prosecutors, hes going to testify to congress in public about working for trump and what it was like. A source tells the journal cohens going to talk about what a madman trump is, continuing to say, hes going to tell the story of what its like to work for a madman. Hes going to say things that will give you chills. John, what do you say . I think thats his strong suit. Hes worked for this man for a decade plus. I think he was probably hopeful of going to the white house. We can see now why trump probably had trouble with that idea. But i dont think trump ever expected that this man would turn on him. And theyre at odds now. Th theyre in an open fight. And i think that Michael Cohen is going to be able to probably embarrass the president deeply before he finishes. And of course, the question is, how influential that would be, among, especially republicans in congress. All right, thank you all very much. And next, the breaking news. You heard david mention barr. Well, the president s pick for attorney general testifying all day today and not saying that he will release muellers entire report. Heres the line. I am going to make as much Information Available as i can. That is not the full report. Plus, the president tries to get vulnerable democrats on his side with an invitation to the white house on the shutdown. None showed up. And all but one congressman voting to reject White Supremacists after the racist comments by republican congressman steve king. Why did this one congressman not vote with the rest of congress . Hes my guest. To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best to make you everybody else. Means to fight the hardest battle, which any human being can fight and never stop.

Trumps pick for attorney general just finishing testifying before the Senate Judiciary committee. William barr promising he will be, quote, truly independent and not be, quote, bullied. But he did not commit to letting you see muellers eventual russia investigation report. Will you commit to making any report mueller produces at the conclusion of his investigation available to congress and to the public . As i said in my statement, i am going to make as much Information Available as i can, consistent with the rules and regulations that are part of the special counsel regulations. All right. That, obviously, is not a yes. Barr also said he would not commit to recusing himself from the Mueller Probe. And heres the crucial thing, even if ethics Officials Say that he should. Under what scenario would you not follow their recommendations . If i disagreed with it. And what would the basis of that agreement be . I came to a different judgment. On what basis . The facts. Such as . Such as whatever facts are relevant to the recusal. Manu raju is outfront. Hes on capitol hill. Look, barr obviously not forth coming in that front with kamala harr harris. And you know, look, he was not a lot of vagueness here, right . Reporter yeah, hes clearly not trying to box himself in, make any commitments that he would not be able to keep. And he has no desire to recuse himself from the russia investigation, making it very clear that Jeff Sessions decision to recuse himself from the russia investigation, different than anything that bill barr would consider Going Forward, because sessions wo s involved in the campaign, that was a political decision. Bill barr is not. Democrats try to make the case that hse should be recused because of that memo he wrote last year raising concerns about the mueller investigation, the obstruction aspect of it. But throughout the days hearing, bill barr time and time again said that was a narrow in scope memo, it only dealt with one small legal theory about the larger investigation. It did not mean that the full investigation was something that he did not believe was serious Going Forward. He tried to portray himself as independent. He would let that investigation going go forward. But he left himself a lot of room and vaings about whether he would actually release that report, saying he would follow the rules and regulations Going Forward. And also unclear in some other areas, too, erin, including whether or not the mueller team could subpoena the president and compel his testimony. He said hell look at the facts and decide that as they come. So questions Going Forward, but overall, republicans and democrats do agree, hes probably going to be confirmed just in a matter of weeks. All right, manu, thank you very much. And obviously, when it comes to subpoena, its a crucial question. Because were weve now been reporting that mueller wants to talk to the president , still in person, right . Follow up on those written responses and the president s team, Rudy Giuliani saying, over my dead body, hit me with a subpoena, well fight it. This is a very crucial and pertinent question. Outfront now, harry sanzik and james trusty. Harry, barr was, we just heard some of those, right, very vague on some really crucial, central issues to the Mueller Probe. Why . I think he was trying to navigate this middle path between a concern of saying something that would tick off the president. We know that the president was angry about sessions recusal. So he certainly wasnt going to say, well, if doj ethics people tell me to recuse, i will, even though i think thats what he should have say, but he wasnt going to go too far in the other direction and sort of denounce the investigation as a witch hunt. For one, i dont think he believes that its true. And for another, it might make him more difficult to confirm. James, when it comes to that issue of recusal, was he speaking to an audience of one . I think he was actually being pretty judicious. Were putting it off as political gamesmanship or evasion, but the guy was very judicious in his approach, his demeanor was judicious, his comments were restricted. And remember, hes not on the inside yet. Its a little premature to announce that he should be recusing or he should have set opinions about where the Mueller Probe is going. But he did have this memo he discussed with the president prior to nomination, right, where he supported him on at least part of the president s view on obstruction of justice, right . So i guess that would be what you could raise as possible grounds. Look, anything that youve published is fair game. But that memo is very much a legal memorandum. Its hardly an oped piece. Its talking about principles of federalism, of separation of powers, its written in a very, again, lawyerly way, as opposed to kind of a public opinion. So i dont think you can fairly hold against him that hes given some opinion where he qualified it, by saying, i dont know whats going on the inside. But harry, what hes saying is, okay, well, im still going to make the decision. Someone could read that and come to the conclusion that thats a problem and he could say, sorry, i dont care. I think hes saying, im going to wait and see what happens and im going to leave myself lots of escape hatches here. Ill share things from the mueller investigation, if i think its appropriate and if its something i want to do. Ill recuse if the ethics people tell me to, as long as i agree with them. And there are good reasons, as jim is saying, to try to be careful and to be judicious, but i think he had other motivations, as well. Obviously. When youre talking about the audience hes speaking to, the president. But when it comes to that audience, though, james barr did say a lot of things that could incense the president. When it comes to this issue of recusal, he defended Jeff Sessions, who god knows the president has come out how many times and said terrible things about Jeff Sessions for recusing himself. Well, bill barr said he did the right thing and thats not the only thing he took the president on about today. Here he is. I think he probably did the right thing recusing himself. I dont think mr. Mueller would be involved in a witch hunt. I believe the russians interfered or attempted to interfere with the election. Will you commit to no interference with the scope of the special counsels investigation . I will. Will you commit to providing mr. Mueller with the resources, funds, and time needed to complete his investigation . Yes. I dont subscribe to this lock her up stuff. That, obviously, would have possibly annoyed one person a whole lot, james. Just the way that i guess what im saying, the kind of disdain which was clear in his voice when he said that about lock her up. Well, he could certainly unleash the twitter bear by making those types of comments. But again, i think what a lot of people were listening for and heard was pretty impressive in terms of independence and caring about where the department is going to go, caring about the department of justice and the fbis reputation and bringing a certain kind of gravitas and impartiality to that chore. So, yeah, again, theres political fallout no matter he says, but i think the answers reflected a pretty thoughtful approach, a guy whos going to let the special counsel statute dictate where the special counsel investigation goes. And those are good things to hear. But harry, what about this that we might not see the Mueller Report . Thats been a risk throughout this proceeding, because unlike the old independent counsel law, the special counsel regulations only provide that mueller gives his report to the attorney general, and then attorney general makes a decision in his or her discretion about what to do. But thats why people watching should understand how important bill barr is. Absolutely. This is the person who it seems very likely is going to make that decision as to whether every Single Person watching tonight is going to have any idea what mueller concludes. Absolutely. And i think you saw today members of the Senate Committee trying to pin him down on that. Saying, commit to releasing it. And he said, look, the decision is ultimately mine. I dont know what i can release under the law, under the regulation. And he left it very much open. I would like to see whats in the report, but its going to be up to this person to decide. All right. Thank you both very much. And next, President Trump says the new democrats in congress are on his side when it comes to his wall. Democrats in congress, especially the new ones coming in are starting to say, wait a minute, we cant win this battle with trump. Is that what theyre saying . Well, an incoming new democratic congresswoman is outfront next. And only one member of congress deciding not to support a resolution rejecting White Supremacy today. Only because he says that resolution was a complete copout. Hes the only one who stood up to it. And hes outfront tonight. Onmillionth order. R. There goes our first big order. 44, 45, 46. How many of these did they order . Ooh, thats hot. You know, we could sell these. Nah. We dont bake. Opportunity. What we deliver by delivering. Tonight, a mess. Thats what one democratic member of congress is calling President Trumps attempt to arrange a bipartisan meeting on the shutdown today. That meeting part of trumps strategy, which is to go after new members of the Democratic Party, vulnerable ones, and pick them off. But today it didnt work. Not one single democrat showed up. Kaitlan collins is outfront with the white house tonight. Kaitlan, okay, that was todays plan. Whats the president going to do now . Thats pretty much the question on everyones mind in washington right now. What is the strategy going to be Going Forward . Now, erin, we know we can expect more meetings with lawmakers between the white house, whether or not that includes democrats, democrats who are actually going to play a big role in ending the shutdown is still a big question. And right now, essentially, the two people this is all going to come down is President Trump and House Speaker nancy pelosi, skprigt now neither of them have a meeting scheduled together, and it doesnt seem that any of them had shown any signs of coming off of what their demands are. The white house strategy today by inviting those democratic lawmakers to the white house for lunch was essentially to drive a wedge between partys members and the partys leaders to say, hey, weve got people who are on our side, they want to reopen the government, and they agree with us about our plans for border security, but clearly, they sent a pretty symbolic rejection by turning down that offer. Not a Single Member showing up. Now, the question is, what are they going to do Going Forward . And right now, even inside the white house, the strategy here is not clear. But what is clear is that there is not an end to this shutdown in sight right now. Though officials are becoming increasingly worried, erin, about the optics of all of this. And theyre paying attention to those polls, like the one from cnn, that shows more americans are holding the president responsible for this shutdown, despite his attempts to pin the blame on democrats, than they are Holding Democrats responsible. And thats something thats becoming an increasing concern for these white house officials. Kaitlan, thank you. And lets go now to freshman democrat representative mikey sheryl. Shes from new jersey. I appreciate your time. Look, its day 25 now, congressman. Were hearing bekay coppins, a writer for the atlantic just tweeted out, i was struck talking to people on capitol hill today by the general feeling that the shutdown wont end until some outside disaster occurs. Whats your reaction to that . Do you agree that its going to take something disastrous end to this shutdown, congresswoman . Well, erin, i certainly hope not. That doesnt seem to be what im feeling down here. Ill tell you, we have been working very hard to get the government open again. In fact, my freshman colleagues and i were sent down here to get government working. If the American People have any doubt that its working well, then ill let you know that we were the first class in the history of the United States to be sworn in during a Government Shutdown, so heres a report from the field. Government is not working. You know, what to do about it, though . Should your democratic colleagues, the ones the president called and said, hey, come on over, should they have gone to the white house today to meet with him at least . Well, like i said, my freshman colleagues and i really want to work hard to get government open and to then start working on the business of the American People. So i think we should get government open, we should do that first, and then we would be happy to talk to the president about issues that concern all of us, like border security. So its i mean, youre still on the side of, open the government first, then well talk. And hes all, give me my wall and then ill open the government. Theres been no movement, it would seem. But he is saying, congresswoman, that some democrats are starting to side with him, particularly people like you. Heres what he said to sean hannity. If you look, democrats in congress, especially the new ones coming in are starting to say, wait a minute, we cant win this battle with trump because its just common sense. How can we say that a wall doesnt work. Youre a new democrat, do you accept that you cant, quote, win this battle with trump . I think the new democrats are first and foremost on the side of the American People. And the American People want us to get government open. And so the very first bill that we passed was a bill to open government up in the house of representatives. Weve broken that bill up to try to get it passed and then just yesterday, we passed a bill so that we could open government up for three weeks in order to start to negotiate border security. Right, but again, you know, this comes down to, youre saying, open the government and then well talk, and then hes saying, lets open the government and there we are. Were still on two polar opposite spaces. He says he does not care what to call it. Thats his move . Hes like, i dont care what you call it, just give me some kind of barrier. Heres how he put it, congresswoman. This is where i ask the democrats to come back to washington and to vote for money for the wall, the barrier, whatever you want to call it, its okay with me. They can name it whatever they can name it. Peaches. I dont care what they name it, but we need money for that barrier. Okay. What do you say . So the president has money for border security. He has a billion dollars, over a billion dollars hes not spent. In these bills weve passed, weve just sent him another 1. 6 or offered to send him another 1. 6 billion more border security. Can he use it for a barrier. I think what might be getting a little lost in this, though, is the senates responsibility. So we have a responsibility in congress to get government open. We have sent now several bills to the senate and the Republican Senate has not taken them up, despite the fact that we sent we passed the very same bill that they passed a couple of weeks ago. So the senate has a responsibility, as a coequal branch of government, to get this government open. Would you give him some kind of a barrier, though . Just a fence, whatever, but some kind of a barrier. Is that on your table . Like you said, im for Strong Border security. So once we get this the government open, once we pass the bills and get people back to work and get them their paychecks. Make sure tsa workers are being paid, then we can talk about the best way forward on border security. And if thats a wall, im open to that. I do think that when we look at the needs of the border, its more cbp or Border Patrol agents making sure we have drones, making sure we have advanced technologies to stop incursions of drug trafficking. So these are some of the things i talk about, but if a wall is the right thing to use, as it is in el paso and san diego, then we can talk about that, as well. You talk about paychecks. You have opted not to receive yours during the shutdown. The president tweeted today, why is nancy pelosi getting paid when people who are working are not . Should the speaker be refusing her pay, as well . Is he right about that . You know wi, i think people charge of this should be refusing their pay, whether theyre in congress or in the executive branch. It is our responsibility and our duty to have government open. That is why we are sent to washington. And so i felt very strongly about this, because ive certainly worked in federal government for many years and seen firsthand what a Government Shutdown can do to federal workers. All right. Thank you very much. Clear statement. Thank you, congresswoman. Thank you. Next, one House Democrat voting against a resolution against White Supremacy. But he says only because everyone else wimped out. Breaking news, democratic senator Kirsten Gillibrand a major announcement about whats next.

New tonight, congressman steve king under increasing pressure to resign. Adamant hes not a racist. This after the house voted 4241 on a resolution to reject White Supremacy in light of kings comments to the New York Times when he said, quote, white nationalists, white supremacist, western civilization, how did that language become offensive . Why did i sit in classes teaching me about the merits of our history and our civilization . Outfront now, the one congressman who did not vote for the resolution of disapproval, democrat bobby rush of illinois. Congressman, tell us why. Why did you vote against this disapproval resolution . Well, i voted for it because it did not do far enough. It was shallow. It was of little import to literally millions of american citizens. And really it was not worth the paper that it was written on. It became obsolete before the ink on the paper dried. So it certainly fell far short of what i think the action of the members of congress should have been in regards to in light of this unrepentant racist steve king. He has a legacy and a history of saying the most vile things, condemning americans, and using the official status as a member of congress, using the well of congress as a platform to promulgate his vile and racist commentary. Now, you talk about, you know, unrepentant racist and things that he has said. You know, one person that has been silent here is the president of the United States. Hes been completely silent about steve king. Here is what he said yesterday when he was asked about it, congressman. Mr. President , what about steve kings remarks . Who . Steve king. Congressman steve king. I dont i havent been following it. I really havent been following it. Congressman, he says, i havent been following it, but trump does have time to follow and tweet about news about jeff bezos, who he calls jeff bozo, reportedly delighted with the coverage of bezos divorce and disgusting texts. Now, trump, keep in mind, of course, has reportedly boasted of raising more money for steve kings campaigns than anyone else. Now he says he hasnt been following the steve king story. Do you believe him . Well, yes, i do believe him. He has not been following steve ki king, the steve king story, because hes been led by steve king. Steve king is, you might say, one of his philosophical leaders. He is in concert with steve king. He knows exactly what steve king is saying, because steve king wrote the president s playbook in regards to how a racist should really conduct himself. So he is, indeed very versed in the racist antics of steve king. So why do you think the president will not speak out against king and is saying that he doesnt know i mean, how far how far are you willing to go about the president . He believes in steve king. He honors steve king. He emulates steve king. He exalts steve king. And so therefore, when steve king says in his height of racism, donald trump actually believes that and will repeat it from time to time. So i dont know i cant call on the president. Thats another matter, but i do call on the members of the u. S. House of representatives as where steve king actually serves as a member to repudiate, to regurgitate, to indeed censure steve king.
