Anderson Cooper takes viewers beyond the headlines with indepth reporting and investigations. The cleanup was after the Helsinki Summit saying he meant to say wouldnt instead of would although in that cleanup the president said it could be others meddling and since then calling the russia story a hoax and investigation rigged. The difference between the president s reluctance to call out russia and the security teams willingness to was noticeable. Striking enough to call out this question from dni coats. In the runup to the Helsinki Summit,s u. S. Officials, nato ambassadors to russia said the president would raise the issue of maligned activity with the president. He didnt address that. You said to make the issue of meddling a priority. How do you explain the disconnect between what you are
speech and his officials were so clear in the russia involvement. I think the fact the president continues to acknowledge this is exactly why the intel chiefs had to do this. When you have a threat
Anderson Cooper takes viewers beyond the headlines with indepth reporting and investigations. Gates is all to blame here. Theyre saying he is the one who stole and embezzled money. Theyre saying hes the one who lied. And now theyre trying flip this on the government. Rick gates will be the governments star witness, but the defense team is saying how can he be your star witness . Rick gates is an admitted liar and he is now cooperating with the government. Whats next for the trial . What happens tomorrow . Just day one, weve already seen a lot. But day two were expecting that the prosecution will be calling two more witnesses. We expect another democratic consultant who worked with Paul Manafort. Were also expecting to hear from an fbi agent. The prosecution here says that they have a witness list of 35 people that they plan to call, but this trial is really only expected to go three weeks. We saw just how fast this trial moved just in the first day here. So who knows. It could wrap up
Doh spicer. All right, so, the white house used to claim that the president s tweets are not just idle opinionating, theyre official statements with the power of the white house behind him. How many times have people working for the president said the president s tweet speaks for itself or words to that effect . Except for todays tweet. That apparently doesnt speak for itself. That needs a spokesperson and a tv lawyer speaking for it, sweeping up after it, quietly trying to wipe it off the bottom of their shoes. When the president of the United States says that one of his subordinates should do something and do it now, how is that just one guys opinion . It all smacks of another effort that was made recently to suggest that the president didnt really say what everyone heard him say. And a key sentence in my remarks, i said the word would instead of wouldnt. The sentence should have been, i dont see any reason why i wouldnt, or why it wouldnt be russia. Sort of a double negative. That a
Teachout says that if elected in this years election she will start throwing i. C. E. Agents in prison. I. C. E. Has to be abolished and i say that as someone who is running for one of the top Law Enforcement jobs in that country. And as Attorney General i will it continue to speak out against i. C. E. , i will prosecute i. C. E. And their criminal acts. Tucker in other words those who enforce the law are the real criminals just like Illegal Immigrants are the real americans. Citizens who work hard should be the ones that are ashamed of themselves. War is peace, freedom is slavery and ignorance is strength. Suddenly we are living it in real time. Dennis prager is a Radio Show Host, and also wrote a column, the greatest hysteria in American History about the russian story. He joins us tonight. Thanks for coming on. I thought you were very
eloquent. I have to say that is the greatest hysteria in American History. Tucker its never bothered me that people dont like a politician, i dont lik
Chris Hayes discusses the days top news. Publication insisting that gucifer had nothing to do with russia. He was bolstering a Russian Disinformation Campaign designed to cover up a russian attack on the United States. That is what roger stone was doing in the summer of 2016. To be the status of mueller and agalarov. They are his business partners. It is emins idea to bring ms. Universe to moscow. And a deal is cut. And agalarov. Leverage. Agalarov has leverage here. Emin wants something. He has wanted to be big in the United States. He is a middle level pop star and son of an oligarch so that has helped his music career. One of the reasons he linked up to the contest is he was hoping to make it big. And being part of that event will help. He has one coming up in a couple of months so if he wants to retain the ability to perform in the United States that is a point of leverage that mueller will have on him and his father has interest here too. Does that square with what you have been r
