Hello, everyone. Thanks for joining me. Im fredricka whitfield. The death toll from the California Wildfires is rising. Two people having killed by the woolsey fire, the first fatalities in Southern California. That pushes the total number of deaths across the state to at least 25 now. The flames are intensifying. These images are the latest, showing the devastation in malibu. Today officials issued this warning. All state, federal, and local agencies are doing everything they can to deal with these fires. Sadly, with these winds, its not over yet. So please, be careful. At this moment, three fires are raging in the state, and with wind gusts expected upwards of 60 miles an hour, the uphill battle is steepening. Our team is standing by with everything you need to know about these deadly fires. I want to begin with scott mclean in malibu, where high winds are expected to fuel this woolsey fire for the next couple days. Scott, tell us more. Reporter hey, fredricka. Thats right. Firefight
Some russian collusion. So can i just ask, houw long were you there . I was there three hours. I would compare it to a proctology appointment with a very largehanded doctor. Okay. It was an awful experience. And you had an attorney present. Does your attorney is your attorney able to jump in at times . Yes, he is. And hes a former new York Attorney general, dennis baco. He prepared me for this over the weekend. Weve been working on it for a little while. Weve known for about a week or so. You know, im a witness. Thats what the asusa who interviewed me today told me, im a witness, not a subject or a target. But it really doesnt matter. Once you get in that room, its fraught with peril. So when you say they focused almost entirely on collusion, were there specific things they were questioning you about . Specific days, memos, meetings . I dont really want to get into the specifics. I think that theyd be upset about that and it might be considered interference in the investigation. But i
Administration, they wouldnt be asking me about these allegations of obstruction and they wouldnt be asking me about allegations of financial crimes if some of the other people that theyve indicted. They only asked me about russian collusion. It seemed to me very much that theyre still focused on it. They talked about, you know, the wikileaks and the d. C. Leaks and the guccifer stuff. And they asked me about a bunch of my friends. Can i ask, were there specific people they were asking you about . Because i spoke to sam nunberg after he was interviewed by muellers team. He said many of the questions were focused on roger stone. I dont know if you can say, but was that the case in your interview as well . Im not going took into account like sam nunberg today on television. I dont believe that the investigation would appreciate me going into the detail. But everything that were reading in the paper, you know, what we talked about there, there are little there are some things that i hadnt
Who of course is the man who oversees the russia investigation. This afternoon the New York Times dropped an extraordinary story that says rosenstein suggested last year that he secretly record President Trump by wearing a wire. And according to the times, rosenstein also discussed lobbying the cabinet to potentially remove the president from office via the 25th amendment, specifically singling out two cabinet secretaries, Jeff Sessions and then dhs secretary john kelly as people who might be receptive to it. Rosenstein put out a statement calling the New York Times story inaccurate and factually incorrect. He added he currently sees no basis to invoke the 25th amendment. So no pushback about the idea that he discussed it. As you might expect, that report has set off quite the firestorm. Democrats are urging the president not to use the story as a reason to fire rosenstein and interfere with the russia probe. Some of the president s allies arent just calling for rosensteins ouster. The
Everything the president has said and done encourages White Supremacy. Martha one of the questions now for Democratic Candidates is will this work for them . Good evening, everybody, i am Martha Maccallum and that is where the story begins tonight. If you look at it, the odds are stacked in favor of the current president. In recent history, a one termer happened only twice. In both times, it took a political superstar to unseat the incumbent in the white house. Ronald reagan came on the scene with an optimistic message and trounced jimmy carter. Reagan and clinton are now among the most popular of all president s in public polling. The last time democrats tried to unseat a republican president was back in 04 after howard dean, who was the Strong Player of the moment, his presidency y flatlined in this moment. We are on california, texas, new york, south dakota, oregon, washington, and michigan and then we are going to washington, d. C. , and take back the white house ewashington, d. C.
