Chris Matthews debates hot political issues with politicians, newsmakers and Washington leaders. Comes from giuliani, who attempted to downplay the criminal aspect of collusion with the russians. Rather than deny that collusion took place, he now today argued that collusion isnt illegal. Lets watch. Ive been sitting here looking in the federal code trying to find collusion as a crime. Its not. Collusion is not a crime. I dont even know if thats a crime, colluding about russians. You start analyzing the crime. The hacking is the crime. The hacking that certainly is the original the president didnt hack. Of course not. Thats he didnt pay them for hacking. Its so much fun. An apparent shift in strategy. Giuliani now appears to be saying that collusion is not so bad after all. You saw him there chuckling about it. And also 150e78d to undermined the credibility, however, of President Trumps frequent and categorical denials that there was no collusion. Which has been a familiar refrain from
David Gura hosts coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Believes the now released tape that Michael Cohen captured between himself and the president was tampered with. Giuliani offering really no evidence to back that up. He also said that there are some 183 such cohen tapes, but that the one that we have now heard is the only one that the president , trump, can be heard on. Really what he is doing is keeping up his rapidfire Character Attacks on Michael Cohen. It would seep that this is all really designed to remove the sting of cohens latest assertion that President Trump knew about this june 2016 trump tower meeting between members of his own campaign and the russian lawyer and russian advocates with this promise of the ex change of damaging information on hillary clinton. Caitlyn, let me turn to you and ask you about this latest attack Casting Doubt on the recording. You feel a bit whipsawed after that recording was out. We heard it. We had reactio

Hi, everyone. Its 4 00 in new york. In a single round of media appearances Rudy Giuliani today torched two years of Donald Trumps collusion denials. Muddying the waters to a near unrecognizable condition as he spirals deeper into incoherent scenarios about what the president did and didnt know about the trump tower meeting. That meeting is now at the heart of the Obstruction Of Justice investigation and is perhaps also being investigated as part of a conspiracy to coordinate with a known american adversary. Here are two of the president s closest allies and advisors debuting the new line on russian

Will the angry tweets affect the fccs decision . First, another chapter in the Me Too Movement brought to us once again by rowan farrow, out in print tomorrow is about les moonves and the culture of cbs.

Trump about a payment to playboy model Karen Mcdougal before the 2016 election. Could be a recording of a recording, were not sure yet. That they can probably determine. Youre right. We may never be able to determine that but we have determined the fact that he campered with the tape in the sense that he abruptly midconversation turned it off. Giuliani told abc news we have complained to them that Michael Cohen has violated the Attorney Client privilege publicly and privately. In a statement to nbc news, lanny davis, cohens attorney, fired back saying mr. Giuliani seems to have been confused.
