Im very concerned, chris. I worked hard in a bipartisan way to get 380 million in Election Grants out and distributed to states. Thats something senator klobuchar, senator lankford and others really fought for. And im trying this week in the election excuse me in the upcoming appropriations votes were having in the senate to get another round of 250 million in grants to states so that they can strengthen their Cybersecurity Defenses so they can procure new Voting Systems and equipment. Senator klobuchar was just on in the previous segment with anderson cooper. Yep. She and senator lankford have a great bill, the secure elections act, that i think we should take up and pass that is a corollary or a complementary

So glad to have you with us. And we have breaking news. The president angry, lashing out, going off on twitter by attack Robert Mueller, the free press, and even threatening a Government Shutdown if democrats wont agree to pay for his border wall. The president arrived at the white house just a few minutes ago. Its unclear right now if hell continue his tirade once he settled in for the night. Its also unclear what exactly has set him off. But it could be a number of things, as weve told you. His former attorney and loyal friend Michael Cohen appears to be ready to flip on him. Sources say cohen is willing to tell mueller that trump knew in advance about that infamous 2016 trump tower meeting, the one with the russians, Offering Dirt on hillary clinton. And on top of that the president has learned along with everyone else that cohen has been secretly recording their private conversations for who knows how long. We played one of those tapes for you last week. Its the one where trump and
Other from controversial issues, from immigration issues, and theyre doing it again. Thats why we have to pass this bill so that you have clear information about whos paying for these ads and what they are. Its called the honest ads act, and its a bill im leading with senator mccain and senator warner. Senator, appreciate your time. Thank you very much. The news continues. I want to hand it over to chris. Cuomo prime time starts now. Thank you, anderson. I am chris cuomo. Welcome to prime time. Collusion is not a crime except when it is. And remember this isnt about words. Its about behavior. We have a lawmaker who is going to tell you the facts of what could be headed for anyone who did collude. He was also in that hearing today, and you will not believe what the government admitted about its plan to force families apart. Theres senator coons. Well be with him in a second. The Mueller Probe faces its first courtroom test today with
trumps former Campaign Chair on trial. Were going to
News, analysis and interviews with politicians and observers. Its something that i think the president and his lawyers know, the Special Counsel will be looking at. So interesting. Im really glad that you pointed out the similarity and language there, particularly since there are reports that the Special Counsel is looking at whether tweets can be used as obstruction of justice. Lets look at the trial. Whats happening in the manafort trial as we speak, shimon . Todays really been so two witnesses so far that have testified. One of them, i think, the important witness here, the fbi agent who entered manaforts home. They did a Search Warrant at his home in alexandria, virginia. Theyre talking about some of the documents that they found. And this really goes to the meat of the prosecutions case. These are documents about his loans, bank records, things they found with his name on it. Wire transfers. Goes to the meat, to the heart of the case and the evidence that the fbi has gathered and
The latest news from around the world with hosts John Berman and Poppy Harlow. 18 times this month, 64 times in the last three months. I lay those numbers out because this is at the same time that the American Public sort of approval of the Mueller Probe is declining. It was 48 approval in on how mueller is handling it in march. Now its 41 , the lowest it has been. Is the president s strategy working . Well, if his strategy is to undermine confidence in the Justice Department and the institution of the legal process, then, yes, its working in some ways because he keeps calling this a witch hunt.
