Sex for access. I felt like President Trump was lying to the American People. When all in starts now. Good evening, from new york. I am in for chris hayes. This time, aimed at the midterm election. And yet again the white house is trying to tell the American People that the president did not say what we all saw and heard him say. At a cabinet meeting, the president told reporters that russia is not trying to disrupt this years election. Is russia still targeting the u. S. Press, lets go. Make your way out.

Thunderstorm warning at the time. We know that 31 people were on board. We are told children are among the dead. Diane gallagher joins me now with the latest. Theyre in there searching for survivors if they can find them, right . Reporter thats right. Poppy, the governor said at this point finding survivors, the odds are not in their favor right now and four people who are missing. Theyre searching for those people. The good news for those divers is the weather conditions cooperating for them to continue that search. Again, the bad news is as you saw in that video those violent, choppy waters would make it very difficult to survive overnight a. Key question we have right now is whether or not any of the people were wearing life vests. Now, you are not required by regulations to wear them on duck boats because theyre a land and water operation.

Ten years and one celebrity run later, that would come back to haunt trump. At that tournament where those two women each had sexual encounters with him. A one off she would describe as less than spectacular. In mcdougals case a month long affair. Both women would also claim they were the recipients of hush money during the president ial campaign to keep the affairs secret. Donald trump has denied any knowledge of payments made to Stormy Daniels or Karen Mcdougal, but Michael Cohen apparently has receipts. New york times reported this week that cohen secretly recorded a conversation between himself and donald trump in which they discussed payments to mrs. Mcdougal or to the National Inquirer for her story. Just two months before the president ial election. By the way, contrary to what donald trump may want, we will not be bearing off the metastasizing helsinki battle.

All right. Sarah westwood, thanks so much. Now for a look at how the Trump Administration is handling the news of a second summit, cnns Global Affairs correspondent joining me with more on that.

National intelligence . This comes just a few days after coats released a statement reaffirming that russia did, in fact, attack the 2016 election. He does that just after his boss, the president , called putins denial a responsibility extremely strong and powerful. The fbi director Christopher Ray said yesterday russia attempted to interfere with the last election, and that continues to engage and influence operations to this day. Cia chief turned secretary of state Mike Pompeo Confirmed russias hacking and warned it would continue. All three hand picked by, guess who. President trump. All three with decisive assessments about russias actions and intentions, and, yet, the president casts doubt on that while standing along side Vladimir Putin, of all people.

Good evening. Good to have all of you on.
