Lets face it. The big show is going to be the Supreme Court. And i think also the planned parenthood funding. Some republicans are squishy on that. One other thing he said this morning that will cause concerns on the hill from his party was talking about a border tax, instituting a border tax on companies that ship jobs overseas. Thats something when he talked about that after the election, republicans were running away from that. Majority leader of the house, Kevin Mccarthy warned it could start a trade war. Paul ryan started to distance himself from that saying well worry about doing this in a larger tax reform bill. Trump today made it very clear that he wants to go that route. As president , you do have fairly wide latitude to impose tariffs. Does he carry through with some of those threats . I agree with karen. A lot of stuff is symbolic. We knew tpp was dead. A symbolic move. When we get into details of legislative push on obamacare and Supreme Court nominee and on doing things l
Meeting. That trumps own son took it explicitly being promised damaging information on clinton and then the times gave the actual information. The meeting, if it is what you say, i love it. If you did that, you might need a wider defense than denial. In october came the multiple denials. October 30, the Special Counsel announcing the indictments against Paul Manafort who goes on trial tomorrow, plus his deputy, Campaign Manager rick gates. Mueller also announced guilty pleas of George Papadopoulos who admitted contacts with who . Russian nationals. Who he thought were tied to the russian government. Who offered him what . Yes. Information about the possible release of Hillary Clintons emails. So following those indictments we then saw allies of the president including now and this is key, the president s own lawyers, picking up the argument like Go Pro Camera, collusion is
it went away for a few months. The president was focusing on just the straight up no collusion point. You see it i
A look at Breaking News, politics and reports from around the world. Things he did 12 years ago. Paul manafort worked for me for a very short period of time. He worked for many other republicans. He worked for me for, what, 49 days . A very short period of time. And the prosecution wrapped up its first witness today. That was democratic consultant tad divine. He worked with manafort in ukraine. They expect to call two other witnesses tomorrow, another consultant as well as an fbi agent. And of course, this isnt the only trial manafort faces. His d. C. Trial is set to start in september, all the while, hes still in jail for allegations of Witness Tampering while he awaits these other trials. Thank you. Jessica schneider reporting. Tonight, President Trump is on the Campaign Trail as he embraces a new line of defense against the Mueller Investigation. Mr. Trump now echoing Rudy Giulianis argument that collusion is not a crime. Of course, this is the same president who frequently denies t
Tariffs against china. Initially they were going to target with a 10 tariff, but sources say the president wants to increase that tax to 25 . There is a growing belief that china is a bad actor on trade and needs to be handled as such. China cannot fight titfortat trade war for very long, it will quickly run out of bullets. We also expect questions on a tweet a president sent out this morning that many people saw as him telling Attorney General Jeff Sessions to shut down the Robert Mueller investigation. Tweeting Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this which onto right now. Democrats started shouting about Obstruction Of Justice that the president was pretty overt and telling Jeff Sessions to shut the investigation down. Investigation, so we will see where it goes. I laugh because theres never been a natural end to a Special Counsel investigation. Harris there are very few natural ends to anything so we will see what happens. We are joined by a member of the Senate Intelligence
Anderson Cooper takes viewers beyond the headlines with indepth reporting and investigations. Very troublesome for the president here. The fact is if President Trump were president right now, he could be indicted for these Campaign Finance violations, couldnt he . Absolutely. When you look at the way the prosecutors have described it, when you look at the way Michael Cohen described it in court, these documents, its criminal information, so its essentially laying everything out. If this was an indictment and trump, donald trump was not the president , we could be looking at an indictment against the president. We could also, you know, if this was an indictment, look at this as the president being an unindicted coconspirator. Think of that, and certainly, the ramifications of that. Its really serious here. Well see what happens from here. The other thing in these documents that the prosecutors have talked about was that Michael Cohen, and we dont know who these people are, was working w
