Former GOP representative Joe Scarborough and Mika Brezinski interview newsmakers, politicians and pundits about the issues of the day. Job Approval Rating probably has seven or eight points, maybe even a little more of what i think of as 401 k trumpers right now. I think there are people who are looking at their statements, people who are on the right side of the economic equation any way. They see their numbers going up for all sorts of reasons. And so theyre willing to not really dive in to this russian novel story that no one can quite figure out. And theyre willing to suspend their bizarrely in my view, but they are willing to suspend their ordinary moral judgments about how this president conducts himself and is now representing us on the world stage. But i would not, if i were in the white house, count on that lasting until 2020. Well see. Joe, your latest column in the Washington Post really speaks to this entitled trump finally

Chris Hayes discusses the days top news. Confused, one goal of mr. Giuliani was pretty evident. 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. Okay. You start analyzing the crime, the hacking is the crime. That certainly is the origin of the the president didnt hack. Of course not. Thats the he didnt pay them for hacking. As you know, it has led the meeting with the russians. If you got the hacked information from the russians here at cnn and you played it would you be in jeopardy of going to jail . Of course not. Okay. The president didnt hack and he didnt pay for the hacking. So thats an interesting thing to say. That, though, you that see there, is an idea that trumps allies have trotted out before. It doesnt hold up to legal scrutiny at all, particularly when you consider that mueller has already charged more than a dozen russians with conspiring a
Anderson Cooper takes viewers beyond the headlines with indepth reporting and investigations. Courthouse in alexandrialexandr virginia, cnns jessica schneider. So what did we learn today at the trial . Anderson, we learned a lot. It was only the first day here, but this courtroom is definitely living up to its Rocket Docket reputation. They managed to whittle down this jury pool of 65 people down to 12 jurors plus four alternates, and then, of course, we heard the fiery Opening Statements here. In this, prosecutors shed some light on Paul Manaforts lavish lifestyle, and they did it by talking about his 30 hidden Foreign Bank Accounts they say existed in three different countries. And they say that funded that lavish lifestyle that included seven different homes, ranging from virginia to manhattan, all the way to the hamptons on long island.

briefing on Election Security. They were about as clear as they could be. Russia was and is a big threat. Our democracy itself is in the cross hairs. We acknowledge the threat. It is real, it is continuing. Make no mistake, the scope of this foreign influence threat is both broad and deep. But mere hours later, the president went completely off the intel script at a ral

The Rachel Maddow show starts right now with ari in for rachel. Good evening. Rachel has the night off. We have a pretty big show. Today was day two of the federal criminal trial of the campaign chairman. The witnesses were several people who sold the defendant clothes and houses that he bought through secretive International Wire payments. One important thing we learned from what happened today, this judge is holding muellers prosecutors to the line, limiting their questions and how they present key evidence to manafort to the jury. A former prosecutor who tried these kinds of cases and inside that courtroom today joins me to explain if what the judge is up to could hurt muellers case. There are reports tonight about the russian woman charged with trying to carry out the government influence campaign through the nra in the u. S. And
