Said i know my client is charged in conspiracy but he really colluded. Thats different. Thats a different word. It is nonsense people focusing on the Dictionary Definition when crimes do not care about how we define them. Betsy, Rudy Giuliani is not the only one saying collusions does not matter. Clearly there is a message and strategy is going on here. Let me play what the congressman had to say. If hes proven to have not told the whole truth of the fact the campaign looking for dirt and someone offers it, you listen to them, nobody is going to be surprised. There is something in politics that you take for granted. What is it politics that we are expected to take for granted now Betsy Woodrow . Thats certainly a question. The reality is Cyber Security experts and Law Enforcement experts and political operatives across the spectrum all agree
Coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Came out and supplied South Koreans with a number of those in his own administration by the fact he would meet with kim jongun. The parallels go on and on. The Secretary Of State just hours later came out and said there would be preconditions for President Trump meeting with the president of iran. But this comes against the backdrop of the president and a number of his top aides really escalating the rhetoric. Threatening to impose new sanctions. To criticize iran sharply for its acts of terrorism. The president of iran not responding to the president s offer for a meeting. Instead, he decried what he called United States illegal pulling out of its ran nuclear deal. The stakes for the president couldnt be harder. Because the president really railed a number of allies. Lawmakers on capitol hill when he pulled out of the nuclear deal. A lot of those people saying look, that is what was holding iran to account. Keepi
Chris Hayes discusses the days top news. Confused, one goal of mr. Giuliani was pretty evident. Ive been sitting here looking in the federal code trying to find collusion as a crime. Its not. Collusion is not a crime. I dont even know if thats a crime, colluding about russians. Okay. You start analyzing the crime, the hacking is the crime. That certainly is the origin of the the president didnt hack. Of course not. Thats the he didnt pay them for hacking. As you know, it has led the meeting with the russians. If you got the hacked information from the russians here at cnn and you played it would you be in jeopardy of going to jail . Of course not. Okay. The president didnt hack and he didnt pay for the hacking. So thats an interesting thing to say. That, though, you that see there, is an idea that trumps allies have trotted out before.

Anderson Cooper takes viewers beyond the headlines with indepth reporting and investigations. Courthouse in alexandrialexandr virginia, cnns jessica schneider. So what did we learn today at the trial . Anderson, we learned a lot. It was only the first day here, but this courtroom is definitely living up to its Rocket Docket reputation. They managed to whittle down this jury pool of 65 people down to 12 jurors plus four alternates, and then, of course, we heard the fiery Opening Statements here. In this, prosecutors shed some light on Paul Manaforts lavish lifestyle, and they did it by talking about his 30 hidden Foreign Bank Accounts they say existed in three different countries. And they say that funded that lavish lifestyle that included seven different homes, ranging from virginia to manhattan, all the way to the hamptons on long island. They also talked about his 500,000 luxury clothing. They mentioned a 21,000 watch, and they even, yes, mentioned a 15,000 jacket made of ostrich. T
Anderson Cooper takes viewers beyond the headlines with indepth reporting and investigations. Thats what Rudy Giuliani said today. He wasnt arguing about that statement from Michael Cohen, who is alleging that President Trump did know about that meeting before it occurred. Rudy giuliani only said that he could state for the record that President Trump did not attend that meeting with those russian officials, which is not something that was in question in the first place. It was whether or not President Trump knew about it, which is something that his aides and President Trump himself have denied for months now, including that President Trump said he just found out about it in july of 2017, a year after it happened. And donald trump jr. Testified in front of lawmakers that his father did not know about it before. So it would be increasingly problematic. That is the question now, anderson. It is essentially the president s word versus Michael Cohens. But the white house does not seem to
