The latest news from around the world with host Brooke Baldwin. Needed for a long time. I think these are people who cant speak publicly and they depend on their leadership to speak out. Fbi director Christopher Wray pushed back a little while ago. A few months ago. I think that its great that this message has been sent and remember, ana, that every time the president talks about how much he hates the fact that Jeff Sessions recused himself, this is an angle that is being investigated by the Special Counsel in terms of the obstruction of Justice Charges for firing james comey. So each of these tweets is yet another piece of evidence that goes to this longstanding resentment and grudge that he has that as david kris said, he has not been protected and had an expectation that this investigation would go away. David, what does trump do now . Because sessions just made pretty clear loyalty isnt on the table. Yes, well, i would have loved to have been a fly on the wall

The penalty of perjury. And some they provide a road map of potential leads that the special counsel is exploring to ultimately determine whether the president colluded with russia or obstructed justice. According to the New York Times, muellers questions emerged from the ongoing negotiations whether President Trump will ultimately speak to prosecutes. They were read by the special counsel investigators to the president s lawyers who compiled them into a list. That document was provided to the times by a person outside mr. Trumps legal team. And while the questions themselves are fairly broad they could represent a legal minefield for a president known to stretch the truth. Today, in an attempt to distort the news in his favor, President Trump incorrectly claimed that none of the questions related to potential collusion with russia. So disgraceful that the questions concerning the russia witch hunt were leaked to the media. No questions on collusion. Oh, i see, you have a made up phony

He said a strong and rather stunning message from the Deputy Attorney general presumably to the house of representatives and the United States. It is as the russia investigation is heating up with 49 questions that Robert Mueller wants to ask President Trump, being leaked to the New York Times. The questions range from collusion to obstruction of justice, to the president s businesses. Meanwhile, the Washington Post Fact Checkers have updated the tally of President Trumps false or misleading claims during his time in office. It is updated to 3001. When the post started the project of monitoring the president , he was telling five false claims a day, the number, the postsaid is creeping up and in the last months he has averaged nine false claims a day. This is a major concern for the presiden
Inaugural campaign and what did they get for their money . This is the president who was prepared to roll out the staff, and the goal he had in the inauguration was to raise his hand and take the oath. Good day, everyone. Im Andrea Mitchell in washington. And Michael Cohen sending a clear message to donald trump, and in an abc news interview of what he told special investigator mueller. Why should we believe you you now . Because the special counsel believed the information i gave them was credible, and there is a substantial amount of evidence that proves i am telling the tru truth. And a joining us is msnbc contributor Kristen Welker and attorney barbara quaid, and also matt miller who was former chief spokesman for attorney general eric holder. And so lets talk about the conflicting stories, and Michael Cohen, a key witness against the president , and he says that there is more backup, and we obviously think that there are tapes because we have heard some of them. And we have heard
Handled by the office in washington, d. C. , the security division. The special counsel occasionally turns up in relevant filings and stuff but it seems like the heavy lifting is being done by the u. S. Attorney. A few months later, Robert Mueller brought another indictment against a whole different set of russians. His indictment of a dozen Russian Military intelligence officers, that was again brought initially tunneled auspices of the special counsels office. But that one right away, day one, they hand that had one off so that ongoing prosecution is not being handled by these work directly for Robert Mueller. It is instead being handled by Career Office heres work at the National Security division at the Main Justice Department in washington, d. C. The prosecution of Michael Cohen was also handed off.
