If the press were not fake and if it was honest, the press would have said what i said was very nice. Wait a minute. Im not finished. Im not finished, fake news. The press honestly is out of control. The level of dishonesty is out of control. The public doesnt believe you people anymore. Now, maybe i had something to do with that, i dont know. As you know i have a running war with the media. They are among the most dishonest human beings on earth. The media. In other words, the fake news. Any media that dislikes what hes done. Today, the president received a Double Rebuke from members of his own party. In a column for the Washington Post senator john mccain said President Trump is sending a dangerous message to the world. He wrote the while Administration Officials often condemn violence against reporters abroad trump continues his attacks on the Integrity Of American Journalists and news outlets providing cover for repressive regimes to follow suit. On the senate floor this
morning, m
Alex Witt hosts coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. His son to cancel the meeting. He did not tell the fbi about the meeting. And if anything, he further encouraged and emboldened the russians to hack. Because he went out just about a month and a half after the meeting and said, russia if youre listening which is two years ago from today as you pointed out you would be rewarded for hacking Hillary Clintons emails. Lets go to Kelly Oconnell in new jersey also joining us u. S. Congressman Danny Heck Of Washington and glenn kushner. First to you, kelly in berkeley heights, new jersey not too far where the president is spending the weekend at the bedminster resort. I want to talk about the ten different ways weve counted that the president has refused to answer questions on camera regarding cohen in that 2016 Trump Tower Meeting in the month of june. Are we hearing any feedback from
the white house on this . And all of this Radio Silence on this matter,
The latest news from around the world with hosts John Berman and Poppy Harlow. 18 times this month, 64 times in the last three months. I lay those numbers out because this is at the same time that the American Public sort of approval of the Mueller Probe is declining. It was 48 approval in on how mueller is handling it in march. Now its 41 , the lowest it has been. Is the president s strategy working . Well, if his strategy is to undermine confidence in the Justice Department and the institution of the legal process, then, yes, its working in some ways because he keeps calling this a witch hunt. He has the biggest bully pulpit on the planet. He is misinforming the public by saying mueller is employing 13 angry democrats. We dont necessarily know that any of these people are actually angry.

The fact is that thats what they used against conor lamb in the special election in Western Pennsylvania which trump won by 20 points and conor lamb won. They used it over and over again with Danny Oconnor in ohio 12 who, by the way, is still running in november against mr.

Its certainly their standard playbook move in eeach and ever instance. Again, to be redundant and repeat myself, they want to hear about what theyre going to do to lower Prescription Drug prices and protect people with preexisting conditions. Build infrastructure that will move this economy strongly throughout the rest of the 21st century. Finally get americans a raise. These are the things they want us talking and proposing. They want us being practical and wo
