A news and interview program, anchored by Erin Burnett. Erin. Throughout the day we saw the president several times, the first time in the oval office with the italian Prime Minister asked questions about what is he talking about exactly with Conflicts Of Interest with bob mueller. He did not answer questions there. He did not answer our questions in the east room later on after that News Conference and he didnt answer questions later on again in the oval office. He clearly does not want to talk about publicly on camera about bob mueller. Erin, that does not mean he is not thinking about him and tweeting about him. There is one thing thats clear, it is its clear that bob mueller is in his head as this trial of Paul Manafort perhaps begins tomorrow, that may be the reason, there may be other reasons, but its clear the president wants to talk about this in a controlled environment of saying things online. Does not want to be asked about it. This anger and rage, erin, is more strategy tha
politically correct. he was elected to shake washington up and that s exactly what he s done. to say that, you know, he s quoted in it and he says these things, he talks to the press more than anybody. he s on twitter, out there every time he goes to air force one. so it s not like he s not talking. he is absolutely out there speaking his mind. so let me ask you, joan, when jamie uses the word harrowing. yes. what do you interpret from that? bob woodward, as we know, he s going to do a meticulous job, but he hasn t always been a critic of this president. the dossier, the president complimented him on twitter. the dossier, i believe he said this with joe and mika, that is a garbage document, it should never been presented as a document in a briefing. i remember when he said that. we don t know when it s coming but i take harrowing to mean that it s hard to work in the white house, which we know. i also think that he has incredible sources and he has
there is no collusion. i say it all the time. there is absolutely no collusion. there was no collusion on my side. there is no collusion between me and my campaign and the russians. i didn t know the president. there was nobody to collude with. i am truly not involved in any form of collusion with russia, believe me. four hours later, i mean, you know, when you listen to all that you realize there is kind of a problem there. giuliani went to fox news, called in to try to clean it up. when i said today that there was no collusion and therefore and that collusion also is no crime. i ve been saying that from the very beginning, so has john dowd. it s a very, very familiar lawyer s argument that the alternative, my client didn t do it, and even if he did it, it s not a crime. i have said that over and over again. outfront now, chief national security correspondent jim sciutto, white house
president. yeah. his base, by 91%. which is stunning. i think important to keep raising, right? he does have that incredible support from his base. it has not relented at all. you know, michael, rudy giuliani, you know, kept up attacking michael cohen himself today, you know, after this is just what he said, though, to give everyone a sense of the confusion which is now rudy giuliani. the guy is unethical, he s a scumbag, he s a horrible person. the man is an honest, honorable lawyer the man is a pathological manipulator, liar. michael s not going to lie. he s going to tell the truth. i m sorry, i had whiplash. that obviously is extremely confusing. by the way, it s not confusion, michael, which caused the president s former lawyer jay goldberg to tell me what rudy s doing there is going to do immeasurable damage to his boss, the president of the united states. here he is. for giuliani to say that he ll tell the truth strips the
