this problem, that s why he s put offers on the table. not once have the democrats offered anything back. giuliani say failed lawyer and it s unfortunate he s decided to take this this obstructionist approach. this appears as the closest we ve seen yet to real live actual collusion. the question now is what did the president know and when did he know it? announcer: this is new day with alisyn camerota and john berman. welcome to your new day. we are now in day 20 of the government shutdown and there s apparently a total breakdown? talks between president trump and congressional leaders. the reality is that 800,000 federal workers will not get their paychecks tomorrow if this shutdown continues. democrats say president trump stormed out of the white house meeting yesterday saying bye-bye, and i ll tell you why that s important in a minute. president called the meeting a waste of time after democrats said no to his demand for border wall money. so today the president heads to t
other attorneys working on this is russian influence campaign. it s mueller trying to get to the bottom of all of the money and dumping and hacking that the russians spleent to influence t election. that s what this is about. he didn t register as he was supposed. he illegally funneled money to the why doesn t the white house and giuliani say, this is great. i m glad they re going after this guy because he did something illegal. it s his job to defend the president and he thinks the way why is defending the president minimizing russian influence? because the whole thing was supposed to be about a dastardly conspiracy with the russians to participate in a crime of hacking these e-mails. and it s still very likely about that. instead we re into michael cohen and payments to porn stars. we re into dirty lobbyists who failed to register. we also have russian intelligence agents who have been indicted. it s not like they haven t done
