Appears maybe poised to change that with the biggest change to the american tax code in 30 years as chris hayes was talking about with his guest tonight, there is no deadline by which they have to pass this bill. There is no procedural deadline. That isnt a big deal but would make things easier for them. There is nothing. There is no reason they need to be rushing to try to pass this bill tonight before administration has even produced analysis about what it will cost while the bill is still partially handwritten, while senators have had no subtantive hearings on it at all but the republicans are rushing to try to do it tonight. And so weve got eyes on that huge news story as the senate floor continues to bustle and as we expect them to move toward a vote at some point, were going to have live reports on that throughout the hour, im guessing. With Trump National security advisor Michael Flynn pleading guilty in washington today to lying to the fbi, we got our second gigantic news story
The day its the jury that determines what the verdict is. I hope that they do not interpret this verdict as diminishing in any way the awful tragedy that occurred and that their family has suffered. This jurys verdict should be respected. Sandra after the ruling yesterday President Trump tweeting, quote, a disgraceful verdict in the kate steinle case. No wonder the people of our country are so angry with illegal immigration. Bill were in l. A. Now with the latest. William, good morning. Now comes word this is not over. The Justice Department said in the last few hours it may charge zarate for felony reentry. You get two years for that when you come back into the country for being deported. Because he had prior convictions he could get up to 10 years from an immigration judge, not a San Francisco jury. The trial was never about immigration and the jury never heard about his illegal status or the deportations. The question was, was the shooting a murder or an accident . The jury decided
Good day, every1. Im alex witt. Heres whats happening right now. Trump tweets and trouble. The president firing off a sunday morning barrage of them. But that flynn firing one yesterday raising more questions today. The white house is saying that it was really the lawyer who typed that tweet. If thats the lawyer thats typing the tweet, that lawyer should be fired. That lawyer has an explanation, but whos buying it . And whats the fallout from Michael Flynns guilty plea and cooperation with Robert Mueller . Investigators on capitol hill suspect bigger catches are coming up. I would assume, i do not believe that general flynn was a rogue agent. He sets out that he wasnt acting as a rogue agent. He was acting with the knowledge and at the direction of people who were senior members of the transition team. New details and reaction this hour. Were going to go to nbc News White House correspondent geoff bennett. Were hearing more on the president s tweets, specifically the ones concerning th
Adviser, pled guilt toy lying to the fbi on friday. The president tweeted saturday, quote, this. I had to fire general flynn because he had lied to the Vice President and the fbi. He has pled guilty to those lies. Its a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful. There was nothing to hide the president s outside lawyer first said the tweet simply paraphrases what white House Counsel ty cobb said that the false statements made to the fbi mirrored those he made to the administration officials. Dowd later said he wrote the tweet and that all the president knew about flynn and the fbi at the time was that the department was not accusing him of lying. Asked for the email for the tweet, he said he dictated it to dan scavino. Dowd said it was the first and last tweet he wrote for the president. Theres a lot of possible lying going on here. I guess we could start with somebody explaining how damaging that tweet was by the president. Clint, this is your specialty. Yeah. Damagin
