Investigation going forward. And 2020 vision. The field of highprofile democrats running for the white house will soon become more clear. Who could announce first and who has a shot at the nomination . We begin with the partial Government Shutdown thats now stretching into its eighth day with seemingly no deal in sight. President trump has been out of public view since friday, but that hasnt stopped him from issuing threats amid a standoff with democrats over border wall funding. Nbc news reports that Trump Administration officials have been open to a compromise. A source tells us last saturday Vice President mike pence told democrats the president would accept 2. 5 billion for a border wall and other security measures. Thats down from trumps initial 5 billion demand. But now absent a deal it appears parts of the government will stay closed until next year. Now, in past shutdown scenarios, weve seen staffers at the capitol and at the white house work around the clock to reopen the gove
Fallout from the president s cpac speech. New today. We have dramatic word from the house Judiciary Committee. Congressman jared nadler said his committee will be requesting documents from over 60 different people and entities close to the white house and president. Thats right, you heard it, 60. From the white house to the department of justice, donald trump jr. , Allen Weisselberg to begin investigations to present the case to the American People about that obstruction of justice, corruption and abuse of power.

Also tomorrow it is the deadline for the white house to provide the House Oversight committee documents related to security clearances or risk being subpoenaed. This after the New York Times reported the president ordered a top secret security clearance for Jared Kushner overruling career intelligence offici

For republicans in and out of congress, the early news that the report calls for no further indictments has already been called an exoneration for President Trump. For Congressional Democrats, its murky. And waiting to see a probably redacted version of the report causes this murky kind of situation. Or by extension, the president s. But they should both remember that the entire Trump Organization is under investigation from federal prosecutors and state investigators, mention the variounot to mention various2 probes. Thats why he might be silent on twitter today. Probably the second Biggest Development of the day. As william barr takes over as the most watched man in america and Robert Mueller puts his feet up. For the rest of us, were back to hurry up and wait. Joining me now is ken dilanian, nbc news intelligence and National Security reporter, barrett burger, former federal prosecutor for the Southern District of new york, mal
Care. I will offer solutions that are bold, realistic. We can go down the road that senator sanders and senator warren want to take us. Impossible promises that will turn off independent voters and get trump reelected. I get a little bit tired of democrats afraid of big ideas. I dont understand why anybody goes to all the trouble of running for president of the United States to talk about what we cant do and shouldnt fight for. The other big stories of the day. We want to start with nbc road warriors in detroit. Mike, vaughan hillyard, garrett haque from inside the booker campaign. Im excited to have you all here. Mike and vaughan, this is a biden harris rematch in large part. What have you heard about how the biden team is getting ready for this . Joe biden started this campaign by saying he was not going to speak ill of any other democrats and that he was largely going to try and stay above the fray. We saw it to his detriment. They are going to mix it up tonight. They have been sign
