The Republican Party as a whole flipping their decision and in the trump era. Saying they would report this. You all said that was to make now the president and congressional gop face a new google look bad, not to support congress. One thats divided. The bill. We were hearing around that what comes next is anyones time a lot of whispering from guess. Will republicans continue to people within facebook and some wrap their arms around trump of facebooks Third Party Public despite stunning election losses or will they try to find common relations firm that facebook had ground with a house thats now controlled by democrats. Come to the table to the in an interview Kevin Mccarthy was asked that very question. Negotiate. They were trying to break away our number one goal here is to make sure we move america from the other companies to make themselves look better as well as to disparage that are rivals. Forward. I have a second job as becoming this is at a time when facebook was under a lot o
Isis, the taliban, alqaeda, iraq and afghanistan. For a grown up up of migrant seeking asylum. The president tweeted out an ad this morning to his follows that is being called by many the most racist political ad in decades. All right. So the tragedy is pretty clear here. Abbie phillip joins us at the white house this morning. Word from inside the white house is they think this is working, so they are clearly doubling down, right . Reporter clearly they are. It is an ad designed to shock. It is designed to get attention and potentially change the subject. But the question now is is it racist. President trump facing the question about his rhetoric. He defends himself saying that hes not racist. Hes just winning. You know, the word racist is used about every republican thats winning. Any time a republican is leading, they take out the r word, the racist word. And im not antiimmigrant at all. Reporter so thats the president s take on this, but i have to tell you, poppy, we spoke to a sour
Tampering and false statements, is in court this afternoon being questioned for the very first time by a mueller prosecutor in a hearing he largely brought on himself by posting a photo of the judge in his case with the cross hair behind her head. The selfdescribed warrior against the deep state and by extension the rule of law facing tough questions about that post and his public antics, as he awaits trial in his criminal case. The judge today doesnt seem to buy stones contrite apology. She told the Court Minutes ago she doesnt find his explanations credible and noted he couldnt keep his own story straight on the stand. Were expecting a decision from the judge any second now. Stone could be sent to jail. We will bring you anything we learn. Thats where we start with some of our reporters and friends, devlin barrett, reporter at the Washington Post who focuses on National Security and Law Enforcement is here, former Deputy Assistant attorney general and u. S. Attorney harry litman is b
Our reporting begins with the battle with the Trump Administration and the democrats over the constitution. The president exerting executive privilege for getting the full mueller, the unredacted and complete report given to the attorney general as well as the underlying evidence gathered in the russia investigation. The white house making the announcement as the house judiciary commissioner jerry nadler was gavelling in a session on holding the attorney general william barr in contempt of the congress. Chairman nadler saying President Trumps latest move is a clear sign of the president s blanket defiance of Congress Constitutional duties. Throughout the day, democrats and republicans have gone back and forth over the special counsel Robert Muellers russia investigation. No person and certainly not the top Law Enforcement officer in the country can be permitted to flout the will of congress and to defy a valid subpoena. No person, not the attorney general, not the president can be perm
Lets get real. Okay. Bye, katy. Goodbye. Good afternoon. Im katy tur. Its 11 00 a. M. Out west and the 2 00 p. M. In washington where the Trump Administration is trying not to cooperate with the house impeachment investigation. In a letter, mike pompeo tried to block employees with a Congressional Panel investigating trumps ukraine call. He accused democrats of attempting to Bully State Department staffers. Pompeo himself may be in hot water. He was caught at worst lying. At best, knowingly misleading about his own involvement in that call. The wall street journal is reporting the president pressed the president of ukraine to work with Rudy Giuliani to investigate joe bidens son. What do you know about those conversations . So, you just gave me a report, whistle l blower complaint, none of which ive seen. The secretary of state feigned ignorance but we now know he was on the line and listening according to a Senior State Department official who spoke to nbc news. A chance democrats won
