That and whether he can help prove it, thats an open question. We also know on the day that donald trump junior formally accepted that meeting, candidate trump touted the big upcoming speech about hillary clinton. I am going to give a major speech on probably monday of next week, and were going to be discussing all the things that have taken place with the clintons. I think you will find it very informative and very, very interesting. Candidate trump did not make that monday speech. As trump now repeats his denials about any advance knowledge of the meeting, it is critical to note this is a meeting that team trump already lied about. His own lawyers often admitting to mueller trump dictated that misleading statement about the meeting originally. First they lied about what happened in the meeting. Then they lied about the defense of the meeting. Which he was choosing to offer,
even though he also claimed he didnt know anything about the meeting. Now the question is whether trump lied ab
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. It doesnt hold up to legal scrutiny at all, particularly when you consider that mueller has already charged more than a dozen russians with conspiring a
Katy Tur hosts coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Hmm, now heres what he just told fox news. Why do you feel its necessary to get on the record with things that havent been asked yet or that are not public yet . Whats coming . When i thought when i thought when i thought it was going to be published, i wanted to get out in front of it. As Harris Faulkner points out, no report exists right now. As of now there has been no reporting at all that Michael Cohen claims that there was another meeting. Now, it comes on the heels of a busy weekend for the president , at least on twitter. In a trio of tweets rife with questionable claims he called the Investigation A rigged witch hunt and an illegal scam. Quote, is Robert Mueller ever going to release his conflicts of interest with respect to President Trump, including the fact that we had a very nasty and contentious business relationship. I turned him down to head the fbi and comey is his close friend. So
Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. One day before President Trumps former Campaign Manager is going to stand trial in Federal Court for Money Laundering and bank fraud in relation to his work for a prorussian Political Party in ukraine and one day after the president went on possibly his most aggressive twitter rant yet about the mueller investigation, which he called the operation an illegal scam, trumps lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, was out today wildly, desperately spinning to try to accomplish two very specific things. One, move the goalposts to say that collusion is not a crime, and two, to get ahead of the emerging storyline of a Trump Campaign strategy meeting that maybe occurred two days before the Infamous Trump tower meeting that had promised dirt on Hillary Clinton. In two interviews this morning, interviews that were often confusing, bewildering, and in which giuliani often seemed confused, one goal of mr. Giuliani was pretty evident. Chris Hayes discusses the days top ne
Coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. In the white house. The first lady if President Trump would hammer his successes and tweet less about lebron and this off stuff, it would allow people to focus on what hes done and his administration have done well. Thats called an unforced error. The president is once again putting focus on that Trump Tower Meeting, potentially complicating legal matters for his son over the high level sitdown donald trump junior, jared kushner, and then Campaign Chair in his second week of his trial, Paul Manafort had with a kremlin linked lawyer and alleged Russian Intelligence Agency an oligarchs representative and an interpreter. Whats wrong with that . Well, lets look at the shifting story from the white house and the campaign. The New York Times first broke the news of the Trump Tower Meeting more than a year after it happened. Donald trump then released a
