Trade war. Without giving evidence, he made a comment about women immigrants getting raped at levels never seen before. Trump sidelined his chief of staff and publicly standing up to his living it up epa director, scott pruitt. There is his report of taste of luxury travels that he often sits in first for business class. Pruitt says he needed to because of unpleasant interaction with other travelers. And according to the New York Times, pruitt requested for a bullet froproof vehicle. Including at least one trip to le diplomate. At least five officials of the epa were requested new jobs in the past years after they raised concerns of the spending habits. A spokesperson from epa called them a group of disgruntle employees who have been dismissed or reassigned. There is ethic reports that pruitt paid 50 a night to stay at a condominum. Here is pruitt this week defending himself. Why did you accept 50 a night to rent a condo from the washington lobby. Lets talk about that. Thats something reviewed by officials here. They said it is market rate. You are renting it as a lobbyist. Major lobbying firm, exxon mobile client. Mr. Hart. Well, according to the wall street journal, john kelly, told President Trump last week that he is convinced that pruitt needs to step down, in order, go. Today Sarah Hucklebee on pruitts situation. We are continuing to review any of the concerns that we have and i will keep you posted if there is anything further on that front. Has done a good job, not is doing a good job. President trump tweeted pruitt is doing a good job but under siege. Thats the comment from the president. Secretary tom impliprice is here today. Today dr. Price still lives and helping to help millions of americans strong and healthy as our secretary of health and Human Services and hes doing a great job. David shulkin, our secretary has done a great job. The va was a mess. Theyre all gone. After nbc reported h. R. Mcmaster was going to be replaced, he was just with the president and mcmaster both of them together in the oval office. President trump says the nbc news story is fake news and he said hes doing a great job and theyre all gone now. Jonath Jonath Jonathan lamier a. Are you a god father fan . You are going from here and you are going down saying hail mary. Tom is telling michael to fire and hes not doing it. Explain that for the people who ever wants god father. The president is defining john kelly whos telling him i love the guys you are referencing. Theyre sophisticated. But, the fact that the president is defining his chief of staff whos telling him to resign and telling him he needs to go and the fact that you have Sarah Sanders basically saying hes kind of under review and we dont know whats going to happen. I think scott pruitt has a lot to worry about. The president is not going of him much longer. Tell me this trade trip you guys are orphn of the white hou coverage. How can we know he told him to fire him . How do we know and obviously when somebody tells somebody in the press, i totally fire the guy. You corroborate with several people in the building that can give accounts on the conversation. And just a thought. We know in this case we know trump sometimes acts in contra contra contraries and purposes of what the chief of staff advise him. While they pleaded with the president made this case, this is why i should still be in this job. Hes lost a lot of allies and support in the west wing, he still has shulkin lost his job still has a lot of outside report. People who may not want to protect the environment like others and they have been in the president s ear saying this guy is getting conservative stuff done. Keep him on. They get their own scar tissue. They dont want people under them. This guy is taking a lot of bits and all kinds of people. They give the ethics to team out and the environmental teams are out to get them, too. He does not want it to hang in the administration. We reported tonight, one of the tensions that existed between the senior white house staff and the senior e. P. A. Staff. Part of the reason that pruitt went on is precisely because he thought he was getting covered from anyone else in the white house. Kelly told him to stop doing television. Correct. He felt that he had to go out and plead his case. Kellys move is a big gamble to let it be known that this guy is gone. If trump turns around and does not fire scott pruitt, it undermines kellys standard with the administration. I think kelly is in a tough spot, too. You are reporting, jonathan, trump is freezing out kelly. Kelly lost a lot of influence in the west wing. The president stop consulting of a lot of key positions. Tru kelly did not accompany him into maralago. We know he was not on the call. We often listen into foreign leader calls, he was not on the one where trump called putin and congratulated him. We know that john kelly, hes frustrated too, he has told people around him that he hopes to make the year mark which is july. He started expressing doubts that hell get that far. Can you really report now that the president of the United States, even though hes the top guy, he has to sneak around to get things done. He told people around him that he stops telling john kelly what he want to do. Not only john kelly making it known that he wants pruitt behind, donald trump is making it known that not only will i get rid of this general but i will go ahead and wing it on my own because i am tired of listening to people. Why did trump raise the temperature this week . I know it is the end of the week, sum it up and china on the board and all this stuff and caravans. What is this called i think when things get difficult and when he starts to g get nervous for him, he feels the safest thing for him to do is raise the temperature really high and get his people behind him in the short run. Part of that is because hes going back to campaign mode. He felt most at home when hes out there. April of 2018, hes going into campaign. Yeah. There is no election right now. I was in there watching him and wait, are we talking about race or immigrants again. I am going to go on a tirade of voter fraud even though there is no evidence that millions of people voted illegally. I think there is something that here is a man throughout his life, his professional life has never been handled and no one ever told him not to do things. S it h it has worked for him. Some kind of billionaire. Thats objectively true. You are sitting here and talking about it. I know. From his point of view. And at this point in his presidency. The people who came in with him to handle him. The people who brought to handle him have largely been diminished or put aside. At this juncture, hes going back to the idea that everything needs to be kenneetic. He has to grab the attention of that money. He does not have to, he wants to. There is a vacuum that could be filled by someone thats optional. This president feels that he has to dominate every single headline. In a radio interview, President Trump says he does not like to attend the white house dinner this year. Here is what he says as his reason. Lets listen. I sort of feel that the press is so bad and so fake. In many cases, they make up sources. Nine sources in the white house. There are no nine sources. So, i just think that i want to get it straight with the press before i do it. So it is probably pretty unlikely i wont do it. I didnt do it last year. I had a rally instead which was great. It was great. Hes now posing as the scolding School Master like he has to wrap our knuckles. You know hes going to hes not going to say they have changed their ways the next couple of weeks. I think this goes back to the fact that he felt wounded when he did go to the White House Correspondent and was ridicule and listening to barack obama all these jokes. In his core, he wants to be respective. Hes the star at this time. Hes the star but he cant take a joke. There are people around him you dont think he likes the gridiron. Remember the al smiths dinner . Hillary clearly beat him that night. He lost and they were so mean. It was not funny. And shes here to pretend that she does not hate catholics. He got rough. It got brutal. How gracious. Thank you. It is a rich crowd. I have nothing to add other than if he feels like we have to come to an understoodianding wi him would you like to leave . Well, well see. Thank you misha, john lemier and sam stein. Kochlicoming up, mueller is tracking trumps Business Partners and mueller is interested in Michael Cohen. This will investigation is an iceberg, a lot is happening under the surface of the water. Plus, President Trump now says he did not know about the hush money payment for Stormy Daniels. Whats the worse Case Scenario for the whole stormy question . I am going to ask that and find out tonight. I want to know how bad this could get or can he skip on this . And the congressman going bulworth. It is the latest such candidate michigan, bob corker and jeff flake, they all tell you the truth on the way out the door. Finally let me finish with trump watch, hardball with action. T. This hat was free. What am i supposed to do, not wear it . Next thing you know, im telling strangers defense wins championships.

Come on mom, lets go the republican of texas farenthold resigned, he has said that hell repay the 84,000 but there is no indicate that he made good on that. I know in my heart is time for me to move along and look for new ways to serve. This is your new house. And a perfectly inconspicuous suv. You must become invisible. [hero] ill take my chances. Welcome back to hardball. There is many signs that the investigation of potential collusion with russia is alive and well. It was revealed that mueller is stopping russian oligarchs at u. S. Airports right now. Mueller is interested in the president s Business Partners. Armed with subpoenas compelling electronic records and sworn testimony, muellers team showed up unannounced at the home of the business associate who was a party to multiple transactions connected to trumps effort to expand his brand aboaroad. Cohen was involved in the business deal by the trump organization. Cohen is best known for attempting the trump tower in moscow. As the New York Times reported last month, the special counsel subpoe subpoenaed documents about trump. Thank you both for joining us. Obviously, we are looking for what this tells us, kim. What does it tell you that hes now fishing around and interviewing people, subpoenaing them meaning they have to talk and their documents about trumps business stuff . Well, it tells us they are blood hounds on the trails of where the facts go and they are interested in knowing any foreign nationals or governments contributed money to the campaign . What led to that trail . Unexplained money showed up in the Trump Campaign . Well, it is hard to say. I know from white water, what we know is a tip at the iceberg. There is a whole lot of fgs t t information that we need to connect. We do know this process was ticked off by populoapadopoulos interview and theyre talking to gates at this point and mr. Flynn and gates had a right hand first, front row seat with manafort of whats happening within the Trump Campaign. Natasha, we watched of all the tennacles of whats happening. We thought of sort the in between person but hes apart of the russian deal. Of course, going back to trump tower of the family members there and Michael Cohen of what hes been up to. Was he trying to make money trying to run for president and is he entangling both . I think muellers investigation is going to shift into follow the money typeprobe and whether or not russia had leverage over the president. There was reporting this week that he met with eric prince before and after the meeting to kind of brief him on this russian financer who theyre going to meet with. What i heard is it is about activating some kind of bank accounts. Thats something that mueller is interested in. Why was eric prince a trump supporter, meeting with this guy here. Cohen has been to every deal that trump made within the past couple of decades. If he enters into business with ties to putin, Michael Cohen would know about it. Hes a valuable witness with his controversy surrounding the Stormy Daniels case, he may be in the position to flip and cooperate with mueller. Lets see your computer and laptop. This is aggressive stuff. The element of surprise, it is quite helpful. I agree with that. Mr. Cohen is not only in the middle of it and we see with Stormy Daniels, hes violating his ethic rules with respect to his lawyering or hes not telling us the truth. Hes covering. The next segment of this, since i got you here. The fact that he signed the president up for a nondisclosure agreement, hes using his signature, one of them is not telling the truth. For sure. Or the president is not telling the truth. Theyre both not telling the truth. No, not without communicating with their client about what theyre planning to do. It is not realistic. We have to be realistic of the facts and decide what do we do about it . How were the president at the time he signed the deal and knowing he was not supposed to talk about the affair of Stormy Daniels. Anybody brought it up . Yeah, if you are under a contract and 130,000 going one way, both parties dont talk about it under this agreement. The attorney never told his client that hes tied to this. The saving grace for trump that he never signed the agreement. Thats part of the reason why they are arguing and now it is in valid. Thats a magical thing of contract law. They both performed on the agreement. I dont think it is going to be anything. Trump should have known he should have been quiet about something. New court filing in the Paul Manafort case last night in the case of investigators obtained new search warrants as recent as last month. It is connected with the manafort this was associated with five telephone numbers controlled by at t. It was obtained on march 9th as the same day of donald Trump Campaign, natasha, serven times this guy have been searched . This seems like something out of homeland. Theyre roaring in and clearing out every drawer looking for under the socks. Paul manaforts entry coincided with the most pivotal russia related moment. The dumping of the dnc. Paul manafort was in touch with his long time Business Associates who has been accused by mueller being a russian spy. We know gates and manafort is still in touch with him. Manafort has been working with russian and ukrainian and oligarchs for decades. Hes going to be the center of this campaign. It is not because his entering in the campaign coincided with all the most Important Campaign this is amazing of all these i know you ladies cannot think about that. Thank you. Up next, President Trump says he did not know about the 130,000 payment to adult Stormy Daniels, the porn star. Whats the worst Case Scenario . Can he get by this . Is this a big deal or not . This is hardball. Afi sure had a lot on my mind. My 30year marriage. My 3month old business. Plus. What if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . So i made a point to talk to my doctor. He told me about eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis had both. And that turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. Im your phone,istle text alert.

Did you know of the 130,000 on Stormy Daniels . You have to ask michael. Hes my attorney. Do you know where he got the money . No, i dont know. The president ignored the question whether cohen could set up a fund. He used his email while arra e arranging that hush money payment days before the 2016 election. That was october of 2016. Daniels offered to give back the money she was paid to speak freak frooe freely with alleged relationship with donald trump. Michael avenatti, Stormy Daniels lawyer told ari melber that it strengthens the case. The president s comments on air force one are serious for him, serious for Michael Cohen and how can you have an agreement when one party claims that they dont know anything about the agreement . These guys are making it up as they go along. They dont know what to say from day in and day out. Our case just got a whole lot better. We have thrown cohen under the bus from an ethic standpoint by making these statements on air force one. This is an undisciplined guy who finally cracked. Our legal analyst, katy fank. I am going to ask you the question, whats the worse that could happen to the president of this . The worst that could happen to the president is already happening, chris. Thats robert mueller. What do i mean by that . Robert mueller have put his sight on Michael Cohen. Hes looking with an exceptional level of scrutiny of trumps deals. He wants to look at cohens involvement. Do you feel that chill . Thats donald trump leaving cohen out in the cold. What donald trump is doing is hes denying any knowledge or involvement in the Stormy Daniels deal because he does not want to be a cocconspirator. But the problem for donald trump is this, there is a privilege that exists between an attorney and a client that would protect communicatio communications, correspondence and etc. If mueller calls in Michael Cohen and ask hs him to ask about certain thing things thats the worse Case Scenario for donald trump. It is happening and hes not going to stop mueller. The attorney of the case targets himself of the investigation. So cohen is a target. Basically so you have this privilege, an Attorney Client privilege, if there is existence of the crime, you cannot hide behind the privilege. Thats why trump is denying anything and saying hey, you just need to talk to cohen about this. Let me ask the other question. Let me get to the immediate question which Michael Avenatti just said on tape. The obvious purpose of the nondisclosure is she would not talk about what she and him did together. It is twoway of nondisclosure agreement by both parties. Both sides. Therefore, it could not have been made without telling one of the parties, the president , that he was supposed to keep quiet about it. Yes. So if trump himself is not a party to the contract and if trump himself had no knowledge of the payment which was the consideration given to Stormy Daniels to buy her silence, why in the world is trump joined in a motion to compel arbitration and in a federal lawsuit if he had nothing to do with the under lining kraning contract. Thats why Michael Avenatti is going to renew his notion to ask the federal judge to take a limited deposition of donald trump and cohen before this case gets ruled upon arbitration. Michael avenatti, the ethical and binding his client to silence without telling donald trump, i just bound you to silence, would that be ethical . I want to no. No. The answer is no. Michael cohen cannot be binding a client anything without a clients approval or consent. In the absence of that, how is he able to do it . Flip our head around for a second here. I have never met you but you understand this case clearly, how does trump get out of it . Letses imagine you are now his lawyer, how does he swing this into the point where it does not matter in a month . Two crucial issues. If you look at the settlement agreement, it says l. L. C. And or donald trump, Stephanie Cliff d clifford. If you read at the beginning, it looks as of trump can be a party to the gleeagreement. Two, she took the money, she took the money and performed under the contract. If i am donald trump, look, that was bargained for, she did what she was supposed to do and i did what i was supposed to do or the l. L. C. There is your meeting of the mind and the contract and we are going to arbitration. Thank you, katy phang. Up next, ahead of his requirement of congress chl. Why do lawmakers only speak the truth when they are heading out the door . You are watching hardball . You wouldnt accept an incomplete job from any one else.

And 6 is greater than 1. Start your day with flonase for more complete allergy relief. Flonase. This changes everything. When this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night. Hold on dad. Liberty did what . Yeah, Liberty Mutual 24hour roadside assistance helped him to fix his flat so he could get home safely. My dad says our insurance doesnt have that.

Did he just said what i think he said. Welcome back to hardball. He finally confessed of his life of bs, that was from the film bulworth. It appears that gowdy is having a bulworth moment in his life right now. You did not like this job, did you . It sounds so absurd, i like the people. But, the job no, i dont like the job. I am an executive branch guy. Eight years you do though. Soon to be eight if i will make it. To the extent men judge themselves based on what they do for a living. I dont have a lot to show for the last serven years. The president of the United States called you a loser. Depending on how you judge the investigation. I think a lot of people would say i was a loser. Wow, after all those hours of testimonies by hillary clinton, he admitted it was all a waste. The former federal prosecutor was asked. Given the time and the resource and the independence to do his job and when you are independent, if the allegations collusion, and if there is no evidence of that and you are innocent, act like it. Congress has proven itself incapable and congressional investigation leaked like gossip girls. They are terrible. I would be telling you that if i am staying in congress. They are just not serious. If you have nothing to hide, sit down and assuming a fair prosecutor and i think mueller is, sit down and tell him what you know. Earlier this week, goud wdy s the president has no reason to breathe a sigh of relief. Hes been told that hes not the target of the mueller investigation. So if you were his attorney, you would not say, you would not have a sigh of relief. Heavens no. I will have a sigh of relief when the investigation is over and maybe not even then. Benghazi has some harsh words for his own party. Thats coming up next with the hardball round fablabletable. [passenger] what a you doing . [driver] i cant believe that worked. I dropped the keys.

We have convinced ourselves that we have to win because the country will go to haiti in a hand basket if my team does not win . What do you make of haiti . The goal is to win. Thats all the Republicans Party cares about. Welcome back. Republican trgowdy is speaking s mind. Lets bring in our hardball roundtab roundtable, our republican strategis strategists. I really like the movie years ago, that was halle berry, the Young Halle Berry in the picture. We all know it is a game and they all play it and pandering and blah, blah, blah, and he says he cannot do it anymore but they dont tell you that until they walk out the door. Here gowdy says his serven year was a waste. I think better hearing may have done a better job but what they did, didnt. Look at marco rubio, he went around for six months saying the senate is a terrible place that it was a waste of time and members of congress are not accomplishing anything and turns around and run for reelection. Is it the title . They cannot walk away from the prestigious of the United States senator. A lot of people do like that . I am struggling with gowdy. He talks about congress as he was not a member of the congress. Oh, it has been my year it is worthless. Sort of distant and how hes talking about it. If he still wants to work, he still has time to work. Hes got 19 more weeks left in congress. He can call scott pruitt in. Hes over that. Thats democratic work. He want to get congress to do something, do something. Remember gowdy that we all watched of a southern guy, serious southern lawyer whos clever and catching hillary clinton. It did not happen. A couple of thing, first of all, i agree with you, jim allen, it took him seven or eight years to realize that his lifes work being an executive branch, it takes seven or eight years to get there. Nobody puts a gun to his head to lead the benghazi investigation. That was a plum job which he sought and wanted. Sounded like Stormy Daniels saying, i was in the room. President trump got it right. I dont want to go as far assayiassa as saying the loser. What did he say to his voters . This is a joke, this is not working. He has been talking about for years whether remember in 2016 he practically did not run again. When boehner resigned, they try to draft him to be majority leader and he turned it down and he heads very public and waffling about of the point of being congress of his own role. You got tot pl play defense. You are are the goalie now. Is the Republican Party only interested in win sning . Come on, chris, you have been around for long. Only. Only winning. Thats a strong statement. Nancy pelosi she does not have any values. Interesting winning in what purpose . Thats not true. Here is why thats not true. Healthcare was not popular. Nancy pelosi laid her body on the train tracks and got healthcare passed. Democrats lost the house. Barack obama put that and shoef sloef shove it down to nancy. Both the speaker and the majority leaders were supported. Because of the president s agenda. In your reporting, dont you find the parties do one stuff and they dont want reelection. Republicans love tax cuts. And we got one. To your point, Mitch Mcconnell often says winners make policies and go home. Correct. So in order to, you know, get policy, the first thing you have to do is win. Its a political necessity. If thats trey gowdys criticism, i dont know that that really is a criticism. Republicans have given up on free trade. Theyve given up on moral values. They give up on all the issues that i grew up believing that republicans believe in. I disagreed with them, but i even russia. If you cant get a republican to be against russia, what wait. We just imposed sanctions, new sanctions, additional sanctions on russia today. This whole idea about trade, well wait and see what the president really does ultimately on trade. How far can the stock market drop before we find out . You said it today. Were still ahead in the stock market. We might suffer in january of 17, yeah. But a hell of a lot down from where we were. We were at 26,000. Now were done to 23 a lot of programs we were having about the stock market going oup and all the successes of the trump administration. Its only when its a little bit down temporarily. I venture to say excuse me. We dont do a lot of stock market coverage until it really is interesting, when its frightening. The stock market will be at the end of the year higher. That makes me happy if its true. Its true. The roundtable is sticking with us. Next, well have these guys tell us something we dont know. Youre watching hardball. Okay.

The Washington Post with Kaiser Family foundation that found that since 2016, one in five americans have participated in political protests. 19 of those people had never done so before in their lives. And 70 of them motivated by distrust, dislike of the president. Sounds right to me. Im sure your crowd estimates are more in line with the president s. I think so. Let me tell you i think this north korea summit will be tied to trade. I think thats going to be a way for the president to pressure china to come to a deal on north korea and then come to a negotiated settlement on the trade issue. I think that will be a significant win for the president on both china and north korea. Jamal . Republican candidate todd ra quita in indiana launched a new ad where hes taking after the other two republicans in indiana, one for being a never trumper, the other one for being a former democrat. So the march to the right in these primaries is happening. Democrats are happy because thats happening in places like west virginia, montana, arizona. You think thats good for the democrats . Oh, yeah. These republicans are fighting each other to see who can be more trumpy. Is the Democratic Party doing the same . These are sitting democratic seats. Keep fighting.

I mean the way they talk about President Trump . If theyre when to retire, they say things like senator corker of tennessee did. Quote, when his term is over, i think the constant nontruth telling is what will be remembered most important. And thats regretful. If youre a republican about to retire, you say things like congressman dent of pennsylvania. He compared his party to, again, these are his words, a dysfunctional family. Dads drunk again, but we dont have to talk about it. Do you have to be on your way out the door to say things like that. Or what congressman gowdy said about the president. When you are innocent, act like it. If youve done something wrong, you should want the investigation to be as fulsome and thorough as possible. Or senator flake, another about to be retiree. Never has a party fled its principles and deeply held beliefs so quickly as my party did. He went on, if were going to cloister our seflsz in the alternative truth of an erratic leader, then my party might not deserve to lead. What does it say about the grand oelt party that its members must hang it up and free themselves from their voters before they dare say what they think . Why do they have to take the truth serum of retirement to come clean with their honest view of the way their leader is leading or misleading this country . Thats hardball for now.

Also tonight, these new calls for trump to get rid of the scandalplagued epa chief. At this hour, though, trump publicly standing by him. Also new fallout from that denial from the president on air force one that he had anything to do with paying Stormy Daniels in a contract that he claims protects him. But we begin tonight with some very interesting news. Bob mueller turning his focus to another man who is also involved in the Stormy Daniels case, a man very close to trump. Youll have to ask Michael Cohen
