Know youre going run off the set and immediately check twitter to see what donald trump says no . No, it burns my eyes. Many tweets in the last hour, including one where he is attacking once again the Republican House Freedom Caucus for basically defeating his health care bill. And when he did that this weekend, i kind of tweeted a reply to him saying please keep doing this because these are the people you need to pass legislation. Who does he think who does he think he is going to get if he cant get these guys . He could possibly just be trying to keep you happy. Oh, man, on these tweet, he has done a fine job of it. Fine job. Thank you. The president is awake at this hour, and he is very busy tweeting. He appears to be very, very angry at the conservative republicans in the house of representatives who he still needs to pass any future legislation, and he is still angry. In his tweets tonight at bill and Hillary Clinton. I really think it will be best if he were to step aside, let so
Collusion. White house advisor Kellyanne Conway says the leaks must stop. It must stop. It is extremely concerning. It is not for me to say where theyre coming from or if there will be an investigation. Our president has said as recently as this week leaks about intelligence in security. It should concern everyone. John roberts joins us live with more. The president is personally pushing back this morning. He is, you know, this New York Times article lets lay that out for you, shannon claims that the f. B. I. Is looking into possible improper contacts that members of the Trump Campaign and others connected to them had with russian officials and russian intelligence during the Election Campaign prior to election day. Named in the article is paul man fort. He was doing business with people in russia before joining the campaign and Political Parties in ukraine. Last summer before he was replaced as the Campaign Manager he told me he had no improper contacts with russian officials, receive
Constant communication with russian senior officials all this coming to light after the National Security adviser resigned. Michael flynn admitted quote he gave incomplete information. The story, he initially denied they talked sanctions and later that story changed today the president did not address that or the fact that his Campaign Aides were talking to russia but did praise the man whose resignation he just tendered. I think hes been treated very, very unfairly by the media, as i call it the fake media in many cases and i think its really a sad thing he was treated so badly. I think in addition to that from intelligence papers are being leaked, things are being leaked its a criminal act and its been going on a long time, even b before me, but now its really going on and people are trying to cover up a terrible loss that the democrats had under hillary clinton. I think it was very, very unfair general flynn the way he was treated and from what was illegally, i stress that illegally
Here. And the same cold questions about just what happened during the campaign. Russia, if youre listening, i hope youre able to find the 30,000 emails. When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york, im chris hayes. We are not even one month into the Trump Administration and already a major scandal exploding in washington, d. C. Last night, president Trumps National security advisor Michael Flynn, who even before this scandal was intensely controversial known for his bigoted views of islam and muslims, handed in his resignation after just 24 days on the job. Today we got the Trump Administrations version of events. The president asked flynn to resign not because of what flynn did which the white house says it has no problem with but because he had lied about it to members of the administration. The level of trust between the president and general flynn had eroded to the point where he felt he had to make a change. The president was very concerned that general flynn had misle
President mike pence there this weekend for the beginning of what is a tenday trip for the Vice President through asia. A lot going on in that corpner f the world, a lot of it has to do with the decisions made in the building behind Kristen Welker at the white house right now where she joins us. Kristen, obviously a very tense situation. The history of the u. S. Relationship with north korea, we have reached moments like this before, i think, where there was talk of an imminent u. S. Action. How serious is it this time . Reporter well, i think that the administration is keeping all of its options on the table. Thats the official line. I pressed the spokesperson for the Vice President about that earlier today, what would the reaction be if there were a strike and the response is just that, that the president wants to keep all of his optio for military to sanctions on the table. This is a situation they are watching very closely, steve, as you know, the president right now in maralago. H
