In wisconsin, 22vote margin, and she got 31,000 votes. Those are states that decided the election. Thats why investigators are looking at jill stein. Its no surprise the reaction to the russian meddling is polarizing but it Doesnt Matter whether the investigation goes right or left. These leads need to be run down.

Im Chris Matthews in washington where it was a day of high drama at the capitol. At this hour, were awaiting a senate vote on the republican tax bill that could come at any time.

House republicans said they will slightly alter the bill and revote tomorrow to ensure it fits with senate rules that allow it to pass with a simple majority. The Senate Parliamentarian had rejected several provisions snu
Thinking isnt a guns situation. When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. One week after we learned Robert Mueller had brought indictments against two top trump officials, announced a guilty plea for a third, all eyes on a former highranking official in the Trump Administration itself, Michael Flynn. A man who spent 24 days in the white house as the president S National Security adviser. Nbc news exclusively reporting that shmueler now has enough evidence to file charges in the investigation into flynn and his son Michael Flynn jr. , according to multiple sources familiar with muellers investigation.

Trump for president campaign, Corey Lewandowski and Rick Dearborn both testified on the Russia Scandal, and like steve bannon yesterday, Corey Lewandowski, reportedly refused to answer some of the committees questions today. Thats part of how we know that something really important and something really different is going on when it comes to steve bannon and the Mueller Investigation and the Russia Scandal overall. Yesterday, the big news we were trying to sort out last night is the fact that Steve Ban Nonon w into that house Intelligence Committee, refused to answer questions and was hit with a subpoena to try to compel him to answer their questions. Thats an unusual occurrence, and part of the reason we know how unusual that is is because Corey Lewandowski walked into that same committee. He also apparently refused to answer their questions, but they didnt subpoena him. There wasnt word that the committee demanded to have him back in to ask him the questions in a harsher tone, like pr

One year ago tonight, the Trump White House started shedding its first highranking officials, just 24 days into the new administration. One year ago tonight, the departure of michael flynn, who has since fled plead guilty to lying to the fbi has has become a cooperating witness into the special counsel investigation into the russia attack. Tonight one year on we bookend that achievement with the news in the New York Times that the president s personal lawyer says when it came time to pay a porn star right before the election to say that she didnt have an affair with donald trump, he found 130,000 in his own pocket and he swears it didnt come out of the campaign or out of the Trump Organization.
