Thats that this is a question of president ial leadership. At the end of the day, it will come down to the president of the United States being willing to lead in a big picture and in a more macro sense, make a decision what he can support and pull the trigger on it. Here was Lindsey Graham in our conversation just a few minutes ago. What the house sent over is unacceptable to me. The cres can i the militar chs kill the military. I appreciate House Colleagues but we need to get this done. Were inside the 10 yard line. We need a white house that can make a decision and stick to it. And andegreeia, Lindsey Graham has cultivated his relationship with the president and the attempted skill of talking to the president through the television. And i think theres a lot of message sending going on that look, the way out of this is for the president to live up to what he talks about as the tuesday
version of the president from last week when he seemed to embrace willingness to deal with a biparti
That delay, that gap is it really interesting. Because we know this isnt the only information that american intelligence had about possible russian attempts to influence the election. So there it were other channels coming in at the same time. Also highlights the degree to which the fbi was put in an almost impossible position later in the campaign. We know they had this information or some of this information. We knew there was the Ongoing Investigation into Hillary Clintons emails. You have the fbi essentially meant to it be a nonpolitical organization in possession of damming fascinating pieces of evidence, if not smoking guns, in either case, trying to decide how to play it, how aggressively to pursue their investigation and what political risks there are for a nonpartisan Law Enforcement agency to be perceived as putting its fingers on the scale if any of this nfrngs came out in the last few weeks. Again, another piece, not the full picture, but justins to provide context for hous
Thats all the time we have. I hand it over to don lemon. 360 will be back tomorrow. This is cnn tonight. Im don lemon. The magnitude of this day is unbelievable. It is historic. It is a moment when our country is on the brink. On the brink of what could turn into a constitutional crisis and potentially on the brink of military acts in syria. A furious President Trump surrounded by grimfaced military leaders in what was planned to be a meeting of syria, his arms folded, blasted the fbi raid today on his personal attorney Michael Cohen. I just heard that they broke into the office of one of my personal attorneys, good man,
and its a disgraceful situation. Its a total witch hunt. Ive been saying it for a long time. Ive wanted to keep it down. Weve given, i believe, over a million pages worth of documents to the Special Counsel. So let me be absolutely clear about this. The president is absolutely wrong. Nobody broke into Michael Cohens office. And nobody, not even the president , is above
The Special Counsel handled that investigation out to someone else. His focus remains on what he was charged to do. Tucker this falls into the distinction of a difference category. We are less than a year on this thing. Weve got 22 indictments, 100 felonies, 13 russians by the way and of five guilty pleas, thats a pretty Good Days Work and i think we should let him finish his job. Tucker are all guilty pleas the same . Is pleading guilty of lying to a federal agent the same as quitting with a Foreign Government or are they different universes . Of course not, but they may be going lately on these guys to get their cooperation, time will tell. I think its absolutely fair to say this Special Counsel ought to deliver or wind up his work. Benghazi took two years, i think thats way too long, but ill tell you what. Indicting 13 russians for interfering with the election is exactly what he was charged to do, im glad they were indicted, i hope you are. Tucker lets be totally real. None of thes
I am going to make the great teas deals. I do deals. I deal. I negotiate by creating leverage. So i can extract a good deal for the United States. For the people. Everybody wants me to negotiate. I am so anxious to negotiate. Nobody can outnegotiate these deals. I am a great deal maker. We dont make great deals anymore. But i will. We are going to win, and win and win. Well, well see. More now on all of this from pamela brown joining us now from the white house. Do we know what changed . Now 24 hours later optimism from
t train from the test site. The insult hurled. The north koreans now, it seems they could work with the United States. And that is why you saw that statement. They said President Trump was brave for taking steps. And willing to talk with the United States at any time. North korean diplomats have reopened. And trying to see if they can work out and make something happen. To make this summit occur on june 12th. So what happens now . What are the next steps . They can agre
