So we havent had a chance to digest it. But the Attorney General in his Confirmation Hearings was very clear with a oneword answer when asked by a senator whether he had contact with the russians in any way, shape, or form. He said no, period. No condition, no modification. So obviously that turns out to not be accurate there is no reason to believe that Jeff Sessions in the Confirmation Hearing was trying to hide something. He may simply have forgotten. But it does mean two things. Number one, it adds to the incredible weight of evidence that the administration is not credible on these issues. Remember a couple of weeks ago when we heard that Michael Flynn was talking to the Russian Ambassador simply to wish him merry christmas. And of course that turns out not to be true. And Michael Flynn is no longer National Security adviser. So this white house has a very, very significant credibility problem. And its with respect to Attorney General sessions, what this means, and again, its too
Nbc nationalist Correspondent Peter joining me now where were expecting the greek Prime Minister to pull up, so well watch that. First of all, all the confusion. We see the president there in the doorway of the portico to the west wing entrance as the car pulls up, and were going to see the greek Prime Minister. Greece, of course, has been in financial turmoil. It has been part of the European Union crisis financially and economically and is also right in the region where migration has been a crisis, peter. So as we see him arriving, there will be an oval office meeting, a quick Photo Opportunity, later another Photo Opportunity in the cabinet room as they have an expanded lunch. Then theres going to be a News Conference. But lets go to the News Conference that you were a big part of yesterday, because this was the president trying to pretend there was no problem with mitch mcconnell, but importantly, youve got new reporting on the whole issue of
gold star families and the president an
Good evening from our nbc news headquarters here in new york. Day 557 of the Trump Administration, 99 days now until the mid term elections. And this might go down as the day we witnessed a change resulting in the new defense strategy. It is about something Rudy Giuliani has started to say. In the days after the president ial election Donald Trumps advisers had a message about contacts between russians and members of the campaign team. In the ensuing months as numerous such communications were revealed the message changed. There was no collusion with russias effort to disrupt the election. On monday President Trumps lawyer Rudy Giuliani presented a third line of defense, even if mr. Trump did collude with the russians he committed no crime. My client didnt do it. Even if he did it it is not a
crime. Hacking is the crime. The president didnt hack. He didnt pay for the hacking he said on cnn. The article goes on. It is just a word choice, said a Criminal Law Professor at georgetown. Im s

Elections is something that actually the fcc should be looking into. Theyre preparing for impeachment and theyre trying to win hearts and minds. Ken, they did so, i imagine not being a lawyer but a layperson, at some professional peril. Listen to what mimi rocah said. I suppose it could attract some attention, American Bar Association type stuff. Does the base need that much bolstering that these guys have to dog and pony it across xm radio . Brian, its very much a part of the pr strategy that the president himself has led and set the tone for, and it just shows frankly how far Rudy Giuliani has come from when he first started on the legal team and famously was sort of chastised by donald trump for not having his facts straight on the Stormy Daniels payment, the 130,000 hush payment to Stormy Daniels. Now y
