Extremely loyal people. Tonight i will ask Michael Cohens lawyer what else hes got. There is no dispute that donald trump committed a crime. Plus, what does congress do with a potentially compromised president . We should be pushing to postpone the Kavanaugh Hearing. And the other trump world indictment. And duncan, thank you very much right from the beginning. Congresswoman Duncan Hunter misusing Campaign Funds. Good evening from new york. I am chris hayes. Donald trump has gotten caught.

president, their relationship to putin, their relationship to the kremlin and olligarches and relationships that will come out with money laundering. i expect this to unfold. i think it will keep unfolding and we will find there s more criminality among this group. there will be more convictions, and, yes, the president is involved. i want to ask you a political question. there s a certain line of thinking that says people couldn t care about the mueller probe, they don t care about the russia stuff or even manafort and stuff. i thought this was interesting, two polls from forks today, mueller s approval rating is quite good. 59% approve and 37% disapprove. the congressional ballot gap is 49% to 38%. do you think democrats should talk about these issues on the
