Well dig into that. An isolated President Trump is lashing out at his own attorney general again calling his work disgraceful. Was Jeff Sessions who publicly defended himself yesterday suddenly trolling the president when he dined out with Rod Rosenstein last night . And the reports of a death match between chief of staff john kelly and gentlem. The internal chaos and the sense that things are unraveling. Communications director hope hicks is resigning. Shes the fourth Trump White House Communications Director to do so. What im worry about right now in the white house is the resolving door. Its spinning like a top. If you want to work in the trump administration, know your blood type because youll be thrown under the bus. Lets talk about mr. Mcgoo because this is reportedly President Trumps behind the scenes nickname for attorney general Jeff Sessions. Its disgraceful. Are you concerned about that . Not at all because sessions is a strong individual and is going to do what an attorney
Saying he loved the good old days when you would take people out on the stretchers, if you get in trouble for beating somebody up, im going to pay the legal fees. Can you imagine it . I dont agree with the way maxine phrased all that thats a whole different conversation about civil discourse. What a precious giant mammoth snowflake you must be if you sit there cheering frosty the snowflake. While donald trump is talking about beating people up and he loves it, thats the good old days, take em out on a stretcher and Maxine Waters says what she says and suddenly hes like, oh, my god. Maxine waters a i peeled to precedent. Saying well, donald trump said this as well. And am i to be condemned . We dont want to play that game. With us we have White House Reporter for the associated press, jonathan lemire. Jonathan and i would like everybody to know that the red sox are back in first place. Yup. It was a little hairy last night. No matter what happens tonight, well have at least a share of f
To become a cooperating witness for Robert Muellers prosecutors in the special counsels office. When all the previous charges were dropped against rick gates in exchange for his guilty plea on those two new charges, muellers prosecutors basically took off the shelf the earlier indictments in which rick gates and Paul Manafort had been charged together and they rewrote them so that now all those charges are just against Paul Manafort. Weve now gotten new indictments that are against manafort alone, they incorporate all the charges he and gates used to be facing together, plus a few new ones. We are expecting Paul Manafort to be arraigned in federal court in washington, d. C. On wednesday of this week, day after tomorrow and then expecting him to be arraigned again in a different federal court in virginia on friday because he is facing dozens of felony charges in both of those jurisdictions. The dozens of felony charges pending against the Trump Campaign manager Paul Manafort obviously p
Lets get the rest of the country to follow our lead and make school safe. When all in starts right now. Of good evening from chicago. Im chris hayes. You can rail against Robert Mueller all you want but actually defying the special counsel is another matter. This morning, former Trump Campaign aide sam nunberg, you might have heard of him showed up at a federal court in washington where he was expected to testify before a grand jury in the russia investigation. It has been just four days since nunberg vowed not to cooperate with the subpoena from mueller going on a media blitz to broadcast his defiance. Im not cooperating. Arrest me. Youre not cooperating, arrest you . Yeah. Im not cooperating. Youre more than happy youre going to arrest me, arrest me because know what . Im not a fan of donald trump, jake, and you know this. You had a big falling out. Im not a fan of his. You know what . When them start asking for stuff like this trump is right. Its a witch hunt. But nunberg apparently
But in terms of concrete consequences, here is the best i can tell. The government is funded again for 17 more days. So thats why i say were maybe shutting down again two weeks from thursday on february 8th. The chip program, which is almost literally the least controversial seriously consequential policy in washington, the chip program which nobody is against, which provides Health Insurance to 9 million kids and lots of pregnant women, that chip program did finally get reupped. Republicans had let that program expire in september. Again, this is not a controversial program, at all. Which means they could have held a vote to reauthorize this any time in the past year, let alone since it expired but until we have this ridiculous threeday shutdown this weekend, they wouldnt do it. But now they have. Chip reauthorized for six years. This means parents who have kids who are in ongoing treatment for any kind of illness, they no longer have to worry that their kids Health Insurance is about
