Youre a star, they let you do it. When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. The white house is desperately trying to knock down multiple reports tonight that special Counsel Robert Mueller has subpoenaed a germanbased dive bank, the biggest lender of money to donald j. Trump, for information about the president s financial accounts. After the story was reported this morning trumps personal attorney jake sack ka love we have confirmed the news reports special counsel subpoenaed financial records relating to the president are false. No subpoena has been issued or received. We have confirmed this with the bank and other sources. White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee sanders quoted sack ka low and slammed the media for getting ahead of what she said were the facts. I think that this is another example of the media going too far, too fast. And we all see it going in that direction. We know that it hasnt happened up until this point and that the reports o
Time ago. Reporter yeah. The story is unfolding as we speak. Judge moore taking to twitter. Look at his response. He said, quote, the person who should step aside is Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell. He has failed conservatives and must be replaced, hash tag drain the swamp. Last night moore delivered a speech in huntsville. Reporters were barred from the speech, but the campaign posted the speech to facebook. During that speech, moore said hes still investigating the source of the allegations against him and he remains highly suspicious of the timing, just a month before the general election. Listen. There are groups that dont want me in the United States senate in the democratic party. They dont want to see me in the senate. The establishment that has spent over 30 million to keep me out of the senate. Reporter now, moores been attacking Mitch Mcconnell as sort of a symbol of the establishment republicans. But mitch mcconn ell is one of a number of gop lawmakers and democrats w
Need 60 votes to break a filibuster in the United States senate. They got 50 votes but theyre 10 short. The vote was 5049 and there were five democrats yeas. Joe donnelly and north dakota and doug joan the senator from alabama and doug mcclaskill. They represent a swing or competitive space so its a good vote for them to end the filibuster. But the problem is also on the republican side. Five republicans voted no. Lindsay graham of arizona and rand paul of kentucky and also you had mike lee of utah and then you had Mitch Mcconnell. Now, Mitch Mcconnell is for funding the government but they have to but the genie back in the bottle and come up with a solution to keep the government open maybe tomorrow or sunday certainly beforeful workers are supposed to go back to work on sunday.

States. But the implications will be felt here in washington as well. President trump endorsed moore even as most republicans deemed him toxic. Tonight the president tweeted congratulations to doug jones on a hard fought victory. The write in votes played a very big factor but a win is a win. The people of alabama are great, and the republicans will have another shot at this seat in a very short period of time. It never ends. Thats his word. When jones takes his seat the republican grip on the senate will shrink to a ray store thin 5149 margin. At least one republican senator is openly celebrating tonight. Jeff flake of arizona, a republican, tweeted decency wins. In his victory speech tonight doug jones delivered a message of unity. Lets watch. I am truly, truly overwhelmed. But you know, folks, and you have all heard me say this at one point or another in this campaign, i have always believed that the people of alabama have more in common than divide us.

Good saturday morning, everyone. Im in for christie paul. Good morning to you. Next hour President Trump will leave for jackson, mississippi for the opening of a new Civil Rights Museum there, but he will likely be greeted by many protesters. This is coming after john lewis says he will skip the opening because the president will be there and calls the president s visit a mockery of the Civil Rights Movement. Trumps visit to mississippi comes just hours supporting roy moore who is an accused child molester. But roy also raised more eyebrows this week in a clip where he appears to support slavery. So weve seen tweets, weve seen suggestions, this is the strongest endorsement from the president of roy moore yet. Reporter well, it certainly was.
