Now, Jenny Willowby did speak to the Washington Post about some of the episodes of her marriage to porter. During one of these fights, we were both yelling at each other. I disengaged and removed myself from the fight to go take a shower. And rob wasnt finished fighting i suppose. At that point he was still angry. And so he came and grabbed me by the shoulders here and pulled me out of the shower in a rage. That is her account of what happened as recorded by the Washington Post. As you pointed out, rob porter has said these have been smears and allegations that he denies. This is one of those deeply painful issues in someones personal life that has now spilled out into public view and at the highest level also of the white house. Kelly odonnell at the white house. Thank you. Two republican senators speaking out today about Rob Porter Including the man who helped get
who has gone through fbi background checks, its absolutely inconceivable that what these women told the fbi agents didnt
water for the president than being a leader. people think of that as sort of you re just a hanger on. you re not a leader. you re not someone worthy of being taken seriously. let s call it a spectacle. what does it tell us about future of the house judiciary committee s impeachment proceedings? this was the rockiest start to begin on. it did not give anyone the confidences they had this under their belt. the issue here for me is for many people in america today looking at this, had this come around the same time that the mueller report dropped, had it come prior to that four page summation letter by bill barr that painted the narrative that s been used at this point in time, they may have gained more traction. now you have more than one opportunity already testified. you now have barr coming out to say the president of the yietun states back against the wall and it wasn t obstructive conduct
total myth is the indictment of rick gates. paul manafort left the campaign under dubious circumstances when his connections to extremely powerful and sketchy russians surfaced. but rick gates, who was his deputy, stayed on and as we reported made multiple visits to the white house. he wasn t just a campaign guy. he wasn t sort of a fringer hanger-on, he was somebody who had white house access, who was bringing people in, who knew how to influence trump as president and not just as a candidate. sop this idea that these people had nothing to do with him is literally the opposite of the truth. what do you think when you hear that from him? it s not true. . just simply not true. this is your beat as well. we will let you jump in here. this new, new, new spin on mueller, i don t know anybody in trouble yet. other than the russians, which has president he should actually be very well versed, he should be very well briefed on the people who attacked america s democracy. we ve been talk
larger scheme related to sanctions and a massive cover-up of unparalleled proportions because when you look at cohen coordinating with the white house to lie to congress and michael flynn lying about his transition contacts related to sanctions to russia it all kinds of circles back. and you look at donald trump with the campaign finance and trying to rush that off. it starts and trickles down. that s how criminal conspiracies work and this looks worse and worse everyday. chuck, do you agree? i do. this is a fascinating time to be a journalist. i m not one, of course, but i have the pleasure of knowing we can t live without you, though. you re kind. i m just a hanger-on. but it s a fascinating time to follow these events. i think it s of a massive scale, i think dan is right. it continues to unwind and we would be crazy not to pay very, very close attention.
release to the public information about the russia scandal and manafort that might not otherwise see the light of day? if, for example, it s otherwise going to be blocked by trump s new acting attorney general, matt whitaker. could that be a factor here? is mueller planning on using these court filings to give the public information about what evidence they have collected and what happened in that presidential election? also, why was nbc news able to obtain these draft court documents from mueller s office tonight, show what appear to be draft charges and a draft plea agreement for a trump campaign hanger-on named jerome corsi? i have never seen a draft indictment made public before. why was this one made public? and with the new york times just moments ago breaking the news that mueller excuse me, that manafort may have lost his plea agreement because prosecutors found out that once he was supposed to be cooperating with them, he was actually secretly feeding information to the wh
