The latest news from around the world with host Fredricka Whitfield. Right . But it has to be potentially damaging. I was a senior republican senator, im not attacking the Koch Brothers because theyre still good donors of mine, so why stir up that . Why talk about lebron james or our own don lemon . The president does, you know, get involved in a lot of things. It would be much better if he left it. He could have an opportunity to speak if he really wants to and his attorneys are advising against the president being interviewed by bob mueller but apparently they are still working on questions of parameters, et cetera. Do you see, shan, that the president just simply cannot resist, even if his attorneys say dont do it, he cant resist but talk about it facetoface with bob mueller. I think he definitely has a Discipline Problem in terms of message and i think thats why his lawyers are so worried about him sitting down with mueller. Why is he so insistent that he would want to. I think tha

You are looking live at people voting in ohios 12 Special Elections where tonights results could show a looming disaster for republicans in november. Recent polls show this race between two generic candidates here, no real superstar, its a coin flip right now. Folks, in a district like ohio 12 which really is a district that straddles the suburbs and the exurbs out there outside of columbus, in play for a democrat like Danny Oconnor, the democrats are looking at a
battleground approaching 80some seats. If Republican Troy Balderson can eke it out, the rep
He says the meeting totally legal done all the time in politics but according to the email that special Counsel Robert Mueller has, this was a meeting to get information from the prosecutor of Russia On Hillary Clin Hillary Clintons campaign.

The president is concerned. Hes anxious, fearful about where this is all headed. His legal team is focused on that Trump Tower Meeting as they have been for some time.
