The senate says kushner withheld emails about a, quote, russian back door over tour. And House Republicans pass the trump tax plan. I dont benefit. New Analysis Finds that the plan saves trumps family over 1 billion. I pay as little as possible. I fight like hell to pay as little as possible. When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. The same president who has weighed in on everything from Meryl Streeps acting to Social Media Policies of espn tonight has no opinion whatsoever on the voracity of the allegations that his partys nominee for u. S. Senate in alabama pursued and sexually assaulted between age girls when he was an adult. Reporte reporters today his Press Secretary studiously avoided taking a position on whether the
white house refusing to take a stand on roy moore is the same white house that claims that every single one of those women, every single one of the president s accusers, is lying. Obviously, Sexual Harassment has been in the news, at
it doesn t seem that way. i think based on at least the story that i read it seems like this woman came with a very credible allegation and it turned out later that there were other women who had had similar experiences. and so i think if it had been treated with the seriousness that kirsten was just talking about right there then i think there would have been a different outcome. and it s kind of a tragic situation because this woman ended up leaving and then in the end i think it turned out that this person was in fact her harass her in gillibrand s office. amanda, she s not apologizing and says the investigation was handled properly. is that the right way do you think to handle this? no. i will say the franken case was different because there was clear photographic evidence that he mistreated women. but somehow senator gillibrand found a way to take it seriously when politico came knocking on her door.

franken resigning. does this set a new standard that anyone accused with credible accusers, that s it, they should just resign? first of all the differentiation here was he didn t make that decision himself. under duress. with multiple reports, yes. based on multiple reports. what i would like to see going forward are these things. i feel strongly about this. i am the that led the bill with senator grassley and shelby on mandatory sexual harassment training before this franken case even came up. we passed that in every senator and every staff member going through the training for the next month. after that we need to change the process in the house and senate. it s ridiculous that we have this cooling off period and that there is mandatory counseling for victims. there is bills out there as you know and i am working with
say it s because your politics are aligned that way. each of them needs to be evaluated case-by-case basis. in my mind roy moore has shown a propensity, interest in young girls. and i find lee core if man the 14-year-old to be entirely credible. can i prove that? no. above i think i can prove through the evidence of that case he was with 16-year-olds at a time when he was in his mid-30s. how much of a leap of faith is it to think a guy in his 30s taking an interest in women in their teens included a 14-year-old and acted inappropriately. i don t think that s a leap of case. the franken case has always been complicated to me because that photograph was incredibly poor taste. i am not defending it. but that is not something for which someone resigns from the united states senate. i mean, i m parsed that picture. there are shadows behind his fingers. i m not convinced he was touching her kevlar vest.
