Coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Campaign discussed Hillary Clinton but there was no meaningful information shared. A month later in Senate Testimony he says i did not tell my father about the Trump Tower Meeting. Then giuliani says today trump jr. Didnt participate in the meeting. Trump sr. , the candidate at the time. We werent alleging he was in that meeting so im puzzled by why he was going down that road. Is he saying that cohen says donald trump was in a meeting with the russians or is he just messing the spaghetti around the plate. Im not sure i heard cohen is saying that. As chris hayes posted on twitter, giuliani says donald trump did not participate in the russia transaction. Hayes says, who said anything about a transaction . Imagine a world in which a normal subject of a criminal investigation didnt talk about this at all and just went about
their business. We wouldnt be having any fun. But this meeting is consuming so much oxygen and
East coast, President Donald Trump has a busy week ahead of him. On monday hes expected to take questions from reporters in a joint News Conference with the visiting Prime Minister of italy. Mr. Trump will likely be asked about his latest twitter rant against the Special Counsel, Robert Mueller. The president now claiming mueller has multiple Conflicts Of Interest in the russia investigation. In addition to that, there are still questions about the tapes the president s former attorney just released as well as mr. Trumps threat to shut down the government to get funding for his border wall that he said mexico would pay for but in fact he means the taxpayers will pay for. Cnns Boris Sanchez is traveling with the president , or he was in new jersey. He has more on mr. Trumps twitter tirade. Thats hard to say. Reporter cnn has reached out to the white house to get clarity on specifically what President Trump was referencing when he mentioned Business Conflicts with the Special Counsel Rob
A lot of things. Thanks, appreciate the reporting. Im joined by caroline. Lets get to the conflict issue and what the president wrote over the weekend. Is Robert Mueller ever going to release his conflicts of interest with respect to prtd tr President Trump. What he was talking about with this alleged Conflict Of Interest and white house wouldnt tell cnn either when they asked this question. You think you know what its about and has merit. There are three things we know that President Trump himself stated, theres this lingering Potential Dispute over fees at his golf course and then of course the other issue besides the fact that mueller had worked for wilmer hail, the law firm that represented jared and ivanka and experts in the doj cleared, they vetted him to do this representation ethically. But the issue is that interviewed for ahead of the fbi with President Trump days before his appointment as special counsel. I think as everything in this case, hes grasping for straws. They are

Chris Hayes discusses the days top news. Of these things is still playing out. One of the things that has happened is we have seen an escalation against mueller. This was crossing a line he has not crossed before. This is the closest he has come to a direct order to stop an investigation into himself and the campaign. And not only that, he is doing it as an fbi agent is on the stand testifying. It is still amazing and i dont think we should lose track of either of those things, they are both remarkable and both frankly what we have seen before. It has been hard. And we are looking through the Mueller Investigation through a straw and we get the king of unreliable narrators. What do we know in terms of the back and forth. A lot of today was about
gam gamesmanship. They dont want to say absolutely not we will not do an interview. So this is part of the gamesmanship. Mueller is saying, okay, we will take some of the questions off the table. Would you please sit down with us. And frankly i
