Im very concerned, chris. I worked hard in a bipartisan way to get 380 million in Election Grants out and distributed to states. Thats something senator klobuchar, senator lankford and others really fought for. And im trying this week in the election excuse me in the upcoming appropriations votes were having in the senate to get another round of 250 million in grants to states so that they can strengthen their Cybersecurity Defenses so they can procure new Voting Systems and equipment. Senator klobuchar was just on in the previous segment with anderson cooper. Yep. She and senator lankford have a great bill, the secure elections act, that i think we should take up and pass that is a corollary or a complementary

Other from controversial issues, from immigration issues, and theyre doing it again. Thats why we have to pass this bill so that you have clear information about whos paying for these ads and what they are. Its called the honest ads act, and its a bill im leading with senator mccain and senator warner. Senator, appreciate your time. Thank you very much. The news continues. I want to hand it over to chris. Cuomo prime time starts now. Thank you, anderson. I am chris cuomo. Welcome to prime time. Collusion is not a crime except when it is. And remember this isnt about words. Its about behavior. We have a lawmaker who is going to tell you the facts of what could be headed for anyone who did collude. He was also in that hearing today, and you will not believe what the government admitted about its plan to force families apart. Theres senator coons. Well be with him in a second. The Mueller Probe faces its first courtroom test today with

Anderson Cooper takes viewers beyond the headlines with indepth reporting and investigations. The cleanup was after the Helsinki Summit saying he meant to say wouldnt instead of would although in that cleanup the president said it could be others meddling and since then calling the russia story a hoax and investigation rigged. The difference between the president s reluctance to call out russia and the security teams willingness to was noticeable. Striking enough to call out this question from dni coats. In the runup to the Helsinki Summit,s u. S. Officials, nato ambassadors to russia said the president would raise the issue of maligned activity with the president. He didnt address that. You said to make the issue of meddling a priority. How do you explain the disconnect between what you are
speech and his officials were so clear in the russia involvement. I think the fact the president continues to acknowledge this is exactly why the intel chiefs had to do this. When you have a threat
Anderson Cooper takes viewers beyond the headlines with indepth reporting and investigations. Attorney general Jeff Sessions should stop this rigged witchhunt right now before it can stain our country any longer. Bob mueller and the democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to the usa. The key sentence, Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this rigged witchhunt. Thats what the president said. He said stop it right now. It sounds like the president , who Chief Executive wants to see jeff session, who works for him and the russia investigation ended right now. That is what it sounds like, because that is actually what the president wrote. Unless, of course, you believe his Press Secretary and tv lawyer who scrambled to try and convince the public that what the president said about what he wants to see happen and happen right now was in no way a directive to actually make it happen and happen right now. No, according to them, it was only some guys opinion, the guy who h

I think that doing what works for him and his base, stoking discontent, abusing the truth, stoking conspiracy theories, may come at a cost. His lies have become so trek. Okay . When we look at these kinds of things. The Washington Post has the truth detector that they do on it. The fact checker says he now lies at a rate of more than 7 1 2 times a day to you. And that works. Its reduced the impact on you and the ability of the media to track the same types of data and make the case to you that it matters. This tweet about the the tweet about the 17 angry men and the mueller conflicts, if it smacks of Alex Jones Junk thats because a lot of it is. Remember, the president is privy to information thats way better than what i have and what you
