Burnett. Outfront tonight, the president lashing out at the nations Top Law Enforcement Agency again. He fired off a blistering tweet calling the bureau, quote, tanlted and labeling the dossiers alleged ties between his campaign and russia as bogus. He said, well, fox and friends dossier is bogus. Clinton campaign, dnc funded dossier, fbi cannot, after all this time, verify claims in the dossier of russia trump collusion. Fbi tainted. They use this crooked hillary pile of garbage as the basis for going after the trump campaign. Remember that the dossiers assertion that russia waged a campaign to interfere in the 2016 election and wanted to help donald trump and hurt Hillary Clinton has been verified and accepted by u. S. Intelligence community. Many of the more salacious parts of the dossier remain unconfirmed. T the president has also been targeting Andrew Mccabe over the holidays and despite his Christmas Day tweet that tomorrow its back to work, he spent part of his day working on h
A third decade. There are eight candidates standing in this president ial election, but of course theres only one serious contender. Well have the first returns on the russian election. Putin won. Good morning, everybody, so glad to have you with us here. You all right . Yeah, i know, its sunday. Just trying to get everything together. Im victor blackwell. Good morning to you. The president is escalating his attacks on his own Law Enforcement agencies and once again claiming that the russia investigation, which, remember, has resulted in indictments and guilty pleas and new sanctions is a witch hunt. Its a view thats shared by one of his top lawyers whos facing backlash for suggesting that the investigation needs to be shut down. None of this is stopping special Counsel Robert Mueller who we now know met with former fbi Deputy Director Andrew Mccabe and has notes on all of mccabes interactions with President Trump. Dan merica is following all of these developments from washington. What
Plus, the white house deflects criticism over Michael Cohens cash flow from at t, saying the president cant be bought. This is actually the definition of draining the swamps. And later, one year of Robert Mueller and his russia investigation. Regardless of recommendation, i was going to fire comey. This is mtp daily, and it starts right now. Good evening. Im Steve Kornacki in new york, in for chuck todd. Welcome to mtp daily. We begin tonight with developments of the last 24 hours that can perhaps be summed up as trumpism on overdrive or trumpism run amuck. Whether its mock iing john mccain, noting quote, hes dying away or the immigration when the president dressed down his secretary during a Cabinet Meeting probabilitying here to nearly resign. Or the hook the other way posture when it comes to the president s personal lawyer, profiting off of his access to the white house or the president sticking up for the embattled epa secretary. In both cases, cohen and pruitt it may seem like dr
The house class posing for their official photo. You know the saying this is what democracy looks like. Its a stark divide between the new republican plmembers that y see here and the new democratic members of congress. Obviously larger group because democrats won so many seats and that group simply looks a lot more like america because it has more women, more diversity than the new gop members. I thought it was a very close to complete victory. To paraphrase, the president is entitled to his own opinion but not his own facts. He knows thewon more seats thann four decades and thats far closer to a complete loss for trump than a complete victory. He knew he was lying. Trump flailing about firing members of his cabinet. Hes upset about this loss. Brooding over the florida recounts. The republicans are still up by a hair. Reports he is sulking over key races that republicans loss. A stampede that continues tonight because new results from california that give democrats another house seat.
The reasoning too fast because they think that the economy is so good. I think that they will get it pretty soon. The fact is that the economy is doing so well that they raised Interest Rates and thats a goo form of safety and away. President obama didnt do much of that. We have a normalized Interest Rate which means its good for lot of people. They have money in the bank. For many years and what he got interest on their money. I have great confidence and our companies. Our companies are the greatest in the world and theyre doing really well. They have record kinds of numbers. I think its a tremendous opportunity i can tell you when the government going to be open. I can tell you its not going t be open until we have a wall, fence, i will call it whatever they want to call it. Its the same thing. Its a barrier of people pourin into our country. Its a barrier from drugs. Theres a problem in this world today called human trafficking. Human trafficking is one of the hard to believe proble
