Election process a top priority. Reporter if the president has done so it has not been in public. Standing along side russian president Vladimir Putin last month mr. Trump said this. He said it is not russia. I dont see any reason why it would be. Reporter ever since that moment at the Helsinki Summit The White House has been trying to clean up his words. National security adviser job bolten trying to do so today. When the two got together President Putin said the first issue that President Trump raised was Election Meddling. Reporter the comments from all officials were a far cry from what the president has repeatedly said. Is russia still targeting the u. S. , mr. President . Lets go. We are finished here. Thank you very much. Make your way out. Reporter so the question is
will the president make this declaration in his own voice and use his bully pulpit to call out Russian Election hacking and say it is a problem . We have been to rally after rally where the president has called this a hoax. Well see if he changes his tune tonight here in pennsylvania. The great commonwealth of pennsylvania. My experts are here with me. Lets be honest here. My guess is the white house did this because they were being attacked and criticized by republican officials and not just democrats including James Langford about how the president has not focussed enough on the threat. So the messaging he has put out on it the point being that Everyone Else is paying attention to it so we should be not as concerned as people are. What do you make of this . Republicans do recognize the threat in a way President Trump has not. If you take the threat seriously you have to wonder what would happen to republicans if there was an attack to the election in the mid terms. If anything happens in the mid terms it would blow back so severely. You mean on election day itself . If there wasnt a full display of force from the administration at the Press Briefing donald trump will have to make a Statement Like that at some time. If there was a belief nobody wants the responsibility for that later. Lets talk about this because the argument is that President Trump is saying something completely different from his cabinet. Is that not important for President Trump himself to give the statement about this is serious and im taking it seriously and it is real . He thought it was serious enough to mention it to putin when they met. He instructed he had a Cabinet Meeting on this just
recently to discuss it. He has his cabinet in a show of force of what he believes. If you are looking im sure you can find it. His actions he called it a witch hunt. He is calling the investigation into collusion a witch hunt. He has called Election Interference a witch hunt. He acknowledged that absolutely not false. He acknowledged that an attack took place in march of 2017. They attempted to interfere in our election. That is a much different term than saying they interfered in our election. I think we are nuancing it so we can provide space and have commentary. His positions have been clear. I totally disagree. Can i say it is great to hear republican senators speak against this. Republicans in the house just last week stalled money that was supposed to go into states to help fight election
interference. They need to catch up with where the secretaries are today especially our Intelligence Community. With donald trump, he uses his twitter to attack Robert Mueller. What is Robert Mueller supposed to be doing as a whole . He is supposed to get to the bottom of why we were cyber attacked in 2016. How are we not . He says Jeff Sessions needs to end the investigation. How are we supposed to take that . A year and a half ago the Intelligence Community said that the russians worked to interfere with our elections and worked to interfere in the elections to help donald trump. He has not accepted that statement multiple times when given the opportunity to do so. In fact, i think the whole world, not just our country, the whole world saw him basically cower to putin instead of say to
putin dont interfere with our elections. He had a Press Conference with Vladimir Putin which was he seems subservient to him. I think all of those things are why they may be playing cleanup. At the end of the day the issue with the administration is that you have a cabinet that does one thing and a president who continually says i want to bring in the fact i want to say something. At the end of the day it has been this administration doing something how . What have they done . I want to play the sound of director of intelligence coats talking about meddling when asked if there is a particular party benefitting by the current efforts . Looking for every opportunity regardless of party and regardless of whether or not it applies to the election to continue their pervasive efforts to undermine our fundamental
values. Coats is saying what they are all saying which is that the russians in these instances are trying to sow discord. They were on the left and right and all over the place trying to get people agitated. Last week, however, President Trump tweeted i am concerned based on the fact that no president has been tougher on russia than me. They will be pushing hard for the democrats. They definitely dont want trump. That is not what coats says. Coats says they are pushing for everybody. Obviously, the president is using language that makes some people uncomfortable. He is having fun with it. You have to understand from his perspective he sees himself as one of the toughest president s on russia if you compare to President Obama. He says of course they are not going to want me to continue. Im going to have a difference of opinion on how that plays out. He feels his aggressiveness is what barack obama implemented sanctions. Donald trump ended sanctions and
was overwhelmed by congress. When did President Obama step in to do something . On his way out the door. Exactly. There was an election happening at the time. It would have been nice for both sides to come out. Leadership would have gone forward with this. One point Vladimir Putin himself said in helsinki lets listen in. Vladimir putin himself said in helsinki he wanted donald trump to win. Its not that we dont know what happened. He himself said he wanted donald trump to win and we have the Intelligence Communitys findings. I am glad the intelligence communities are addressing it. But we do know what happened in 2016 despite Donald Trumps statements to the contrary. That is that Vladimir Putin and the russian government were to elect him using counter intelligence. One part that is confusing about the Trump Administrations argument that he is tough on russia is that they take credit for sanctions who the president never signaled support for. The State Department opposed the sanctions. So d i coats you are saying that the president has directed you to make the issue of Election Meddling a priority. How do you explain the disconnect between what you are saying and what the president has said about the issue . Im not in a position to either understand fully or talk about what happened in helsinki. Im not in a position to
understand fully what happened in helsinki or talk about it. I understand talking about it, but understand fully. A stunning but honest reaction i would say. We should be deeply disturbed as a country that the director of National Security does not know what transpired. Would you admit it is odd. Transparency is important in this process. We need all the agencies working together. The president is going to he makes the decision for himself. He was elected to do these diplomatic conversations. It is his discretion. Two hours everyone stick around. Why Robert Mueller wants to talk to a russian pop star . And then ivanka trump saying the news of Family Separations at the border was one of her worst moments during her time in the white house.

That your business is our business the United States postal service. Priority you
Special CounselRobert Mueller wants to talk to this man the tones pop star helpe up the Trump Tower Meeting. Lets discuss with our experts. We have a former federal prosecutor. What do you think mueller is looking for . I think more information about the circumstances leading up to the Trump Tower Meeting is more information. As a Career Prosecutor the more relevant information we can get the more we can kind of fill in gaps and the more we can detect cooperate, get the facts out there as fast and clear as possible and move on. I think we will learn a lot more about trumps relationship
before the president ial campaign at least to the 2013 Beauty Pageant and then performed. They have a long time relationship. Reportedly eric trump was texting with the pop star. After the election they were good friends. This is what provided the enroad to the meeting. When the pop stars producer says do you want to set up a meeting, the words i love it, that is how this all happened. He is a very important player. I would love for him to talk to Robert Mueller. I doubt it is in his interest. I guess he doesnt really have to. If you are not an american you dont have to talk to the Special Counsel. I think the odd thing about all of this is how few people are talking to the Special Counsel when people claim to be innocent. The Big Question Today is why the president of the United States hasnt talked to Robert Mueller. This has been a big back and forth dance for a long time. Here is do the American People deserve an answer to the prosecutors questions here . If the president is innocent give your answer. If he is not innocent give your answer. This isnt about the president s ability to survive or getting through. This is the American People deserve to know whether the president committed a crime. We would demand this of any common criminal. The president needs to answer the questions. One other thing that is most interesting about this debate that is emerging is how prosecutors examine the president s twitter statements particularly when it comes to obstruction of justice. It seems to me people are trying to draw a line between opinion and official statements. I dont know that criminals are allowed to draw any distinction like that when they go to court. The president this week said that Attorney GeneralJeff Sessions should stop the Mueller Investigation. Some people say that is clear obstruction of justice. Rudy giuliani says that is just
his opinion. There is a little bit of wiggle room. He said he should stop. They say it is not a directive. It sounds pretty direct to me. To answer your question, tweets equal ad missable evidence. The federal rules of evidence say a statement of a party or opponent are admissible and they are admissible without regard to the form they take. And the other problematic thing for the president is walkbacks are not admissible not from Sarah Huckabee sanders, not from rudy giuliani. Those tweets are valuable evidence.

Prosecutors in the trial of former Trump Campaign chairman Paul Manafort say they plan to call rick gates to the stand. The governments star witness was a protege of manaforts. The prosecution has focussed on how they say manafort illegally funded his extravagant lifestyle which includes nearly half a Million Dollars on landscaping. Jessica, apparently manafort had
a real affinity for karaoke. Reporter a 10,000 dluz finityfi affinity. Prosecutors are going to Great Lengths to prove Paul Manafort lived a life of extravagant luxury. They submitted receipts documenting the hundreds of thousands of dollars he spent on high end suits and clothing. Manafort paid 18,500 for a python jacket. Just a few months earlier it was 9,500 on an ostrich vest to apparently complicate the Ostrich Jacket he later paid 15,000. There are photos of the jackets and suits he paid a pretty penny for including from bijon. One jacket rang in at 32,800. Prosecutors have been parading vendors to testify for Paul Manaforts pension for posh living to show how he spent the millions of dollars hidden in offshore counts. He kept his seven homes in pristine condition. His landscaper testified that manafort spent about 450,000 over five years for his hamptons home commissioning him to care for the hundreds of flowers plus one of the biggest ponds two hours east of new york city. He kept his hamptons home high tech. Manafort paid more than 2. 2 million over the course of several years to install apple tvs, Wireless Networks and other electronics. Manafort paid via wire transfer, even splurging 10,000 on a Karaoke System in 2010. And Paul Manaforts personal
book keeper has been on the stand all afternoon. She says despite the fact that manafort once made millions she said by 2016 he was flat out broke and had maxed out all of his credit lines. She said on the stand that that led Paul Manafort and his Business Associate at the time, rick gates, to send fake inflated invoices and Business Statements to banks in order to get loans. That goes to the heart of prosecutors argument here for bank fraud. Lets bring in evan perez. Prosecutors honed in on how manafort allegedly moved money around. Tell us about that. Reporter once Paul Manafort was broke prosecutors say one thing he was starting to do was move money from some offshore Bank Accounts back to the United States evading any reporting of this to the i. R. S. In some ways he was making fake invoices to some of the vendors,
to his book keeper, trying to account for some of the money that he was moving from overseas into the United States. And then he started taking out loans on some of the properties that he had bought. He was even going so far as producing doctored receipts and invoices to try to show where this money was coming from. One of the things that the emerging theme we are seeing from prosecutors is to try to show that Paul Manafort was not only lying to the i. R. S. , but lying to some of the vendors and his book keepers. This is building towards the big witness which is rick gates. We expect that prosecutors will try to show that rick gates can testify that he helped doctor some of the invoices. We know that Paul Manaforts team, his lawyers will point out that rick gates has admitted to lying to the government. Evan perez, thank you so much. I want to bring back glen. The prosecution, they are certainly establishing that Paul Manafort lives a very opulent and lavish lifestyle. Certainly, there is more to it than that they they are trying to establish with the jury. One of the challenges is to keep the jurors engaged and awake because they can be rather dry. They need to inject a little bit of excitement where they can. This is a case where opulence meets arrogance and it is all steeped in Paul Manaforts criminality. They want to bring to the jurors attention his seven homes, his water fall ponds, personal putting greens, his Ostrich Jacket and cobra jacket. Just for the record it was a python jacket. I stand corrected. I hear they are quite nice. But they really need to keep the jurors engaged. We see judge ellis has begun to cut a little bit of that back because in all fairness you dont want to overly appeal to
the emotions of the jurors. So judge ellis always keeps his eye on what i would call the appellate ball making sure if the prosecution wins a conviction that they have done it fairly and by the rules and They Havent Overplayed the opulence hand. Do you expect manafort will testify in his own defense . I think the chances are slim to none. Manafort has apparently done so much wrong in his life that cross examining him would be a prosecutors dream. I think what is going to be really interesting is if gates takes the stand because then we may all learn some things that we have not heard before. We are obliged as prosecutors to turn over all of gates statements so that the defense can cross examine him with everything he has told the government including things that arent necessarily directly relevant to this prosecution so we can all begin to learn a little bit more about what is behind the curtain of the Mueller Investigation if they do
colligates to Tal Call Gates to the stand. Even though the prosecution said they are not bringing up anything having to do with russia. They cant talk about russia. The judge cant curtail the Defense Attorneys right to cross examine gates on everything. Gates pled guilty to two fiveyear charges. He could have been charged with a whole lot of other crimes, i would bet. Everyone of the crimes he was not charged with is a benefit that the government gave him so the defense has broad leeway when cross examining him searching for bias.

Some democrats are fretting about the direction of the party and whether it is lurching too far to the left. Miguel marquez is at this conference in new orleans. All of the energy seems to be with the progressive grass roots. How do they respond to concerns . They respond very simply. They say it is the ideals and positions that will drive out voters and the party at large better get on board. The gathering of progressives
net roots nation attracting the president s biggest detractors. He is reckless, dangerous and lawless. I think he is a threat to the United States, to our people and our democracy. Reporter One Star Of The ShowCalifornia Billionaire Tom Stier who spent millions running ads urging the impeachment of donald trump. Why Hasnt Congress started Impeachment Proceedings . Reporter all the Immigration Talk now worries mainstream establishment democrats. Running a hypothetical campaign about having an Impeachment Vote when we could be spending that time and energy revealing to the American People how corrupt this administration is. I dont think that that is a productive way to go right now. Reporter the fear talking impeachment before the Special Counsels investigation is complete could turn off independents and moderates ahead
of the mid terms and beyond. Is there any concern that that fissure between far left and center will hurt candidates in november and possibly the president ial contenders in 2020 . I dont think we should be quite so clever about pollsteres. I think the people, the political establishment in washington, d. C.

Reporter Republicans Painting Net Roots as mainstream. The Republican National committee called net roots a far Left Progressive movement that has become a key force in moving the Democratic Party further left. Do you think the Democratic Party has moved to the left or is this just a more open tent . I think it is moving more and more left. I dont think that progressivism or liberalism is a far out idea anymore. Reporter now, another big issue here is abolishing i. C. E. There is a lot of room for disagreement here. Tom stier says you dont need to abolish it, just repurpose it. In the mid terms maybe things
like abolish i. C. E. Wont matter as much. For the 2020 possibles there is plenty of room for disagreement. Thank you so much. Lets talk about this in addition to abolishing i. C. E. There is raising taxes to fund universal medicare, jobs and college tuition. Are you concerned that the party is moving too far to the left . I think the debate is kind of crazy. We have the president doing a rally in which there are large numbers of people talking about a conspiracy. In the Democratic Party there is a rich debate about universal health care and how to get people jobs. There is a big tent in the party. Its a wide berth for a lot of people. Danny oconnors race is very different. There is no equivalence between the extremes of the left and the right in this country. You disagree, amanda. If you are a republican who is sort of reluctant towards supporting trump you are comfortable with the chaos and craziness that donald trump brings to america. Then you look at the democrats and say they are going to take my money and are not serious about securing the border, maybe i can put up with another four years of that. I think there will be a debate. There will be a lot of Democratic Candidates who dont call for abolition of i. C. E. They will say lets reform it. I think there will be a big wide debate about that. I think it will be a debate in the president ial election sometime next year. I think when you look at the Election Data from 2016, since 2016 until today all the races
we have seen, the energy is around the issues. If you look at virginia alone there were republican suburban women who crossed over because of the health care issue. Im just saying there are real kind of actual outcomes that we saw where people are energized including suburban republicans. I want to ask you about something today. Ivanka trump was in an interview with michael allen. She separated with her dad on a number of issues including separating Migrant Children from their parents. That was a low point for me, as well. I feel very strongly about that. And i am very vehementally against Family Separation and the separation of parents and children. Its not just the president s daughter. She is an adviser. She is saying that a policy that the president has put forward that she is against it. This administration different to the Obama Administration has a lot of diverse voices. Its a diverse voice. That is the type of environment you want. I dont agree with 100 of the things my family does. They are out of touch with america. Ivanka trump seems to be one of the few people allowed to go against her father. She has no discernible duties. She is part of the robust debate on policies. This event that you saw this was a Workforce Development event where they made a pledge to the American Workers 4 million new jobs. She is doing something. It is different that we want to focus on one sentence of an
hourlong event. That is fake news. Its not fake news. You had a specific event that had to do about American Workers. The only thing is that particular question. Something you dont like does not become fake news. Fake news is fake one thing about this whole thing. Ivanka trump is an adviser to the president. She has a job. The American People pay her. I think she takes a she has privileges. She says this is a low point. I would just like to say to ivanka trump. The thing for her to do if she opposes Family Separation, there
are children today, tonight, who will still go to sleep not knowing where their parents are because of Donald Trumps policies. My suggestion to ivanka trump is maybe she should do something about that. We are talking months where children have been separated from their parents and white house advisers should actually do something and not just talk about it. There was another issue from which she separated from her president. We cover contradictions. Here is another issue where she separated from her father and had to do with whether or not reporters are the enemy of the American People. A few days ago i called the fake news the enemy of the people and they are. They are the enemy of the people. I do not feel that the media is the enemy of the people. Trump followed that up with a tweet saying she said no. It is the fake news which is a large percentage of the media
that is the enemy of the people. How do you interpret all of this . He should read the First Amendment and so should Sarah Huckabee sanders. When you read it at the top is the Freedom Of The Press for a reason. If he has a problem in how he is being coveraged he should watch what he says. The press is covering him. You cant have a Freedom Of The Press you cant run a democracy if you dont have the Freedom Of The Press. He needs to understand that. Is the media free of criticism . If the answer is yes he said fake news was the enemy of the people. He said fake news. Why are we arguing what the clip said . He describes fake news as abc and nbc, cbs, cnn, Washington Post and new york times. I understand, i dont agree with that. That is what we are arguing. That is the same message. Sarah Huckabee Sanders from the podium jim acosta gave her multiple opportunities to show respect for the press and she denied it every time. She agrees with the president that the press is an enemy of the people. Fake news is different than the media in general. That is not what she said. If you define 90 of the press as the fake news. If you define everybody except for fox and bright bart. He is saying fake news Isnt Bad Stories or bad sources or anonymous he means the outrage that the media focuses on particular things that the vast majority of america is not paying attention to. We have to take a break. The Trump Administration announced a major change under cutting an obama era policy which environmentals say could be breathing harder. We will find out what the policy is.

How do environmentalists feel about this . They disagree. Auto makers were steered this direction for combined miles per gallon of about 55 miles per hour. The Trump Administration want something more like 36. 5 stopping at the 2020 level instead of going to the 2025 level. The bottom line is this is a lot less. More than that, they want to do away with the possibility of any state making a more strict standard out there which california and about a dozen other states have done. Why would this matter . Because auto makers say if they buy so many cars that makes us make all cars for the nation this way. The Trump Administration said we want an even playing field. Everything uniform across the country. We have about 20 states saying they will sue over this because their argument is a lot of progress has been made through
these kinds of regulations into getting cleaner air across this country. They feel like if you dont keep going that direction you can be moving back to sort of the bad old days. Earlier this week we heard more about the Trump Administration and the Environment Taking Aim at the ingapgerred species act. They are saying since 1973 when the Endangered Species Act was passed we learned a lot about it. Environmentalists say there are a lot of critters out there including these that benefitted from the act and under the new Stream Lining measures they say there will be far less consideration of the opinions of scientists and biologists when approving things like Logging Permits and oil and Gas Exploration on top of which the new provisions would allow for considering the Economic Impact of protecting these animals. They say it wont be a deciding
