Former GOP representative Joe Scarborough and Mika Brezinski interview newsmakers, politicians and pundits about the issues of the day. Jonathan, were probably going to get swept in like three when we get divisional playoffs. So, i mean, but, listen, it was a fun summer. Mika, why dont we go to the news. In an interview last night President Trumps lawyer said special Counsel Robert Mueller will personally have a lot to answer for just hours after they rejected muellers reported latest offer to get a Sit Down Interview with the president. Trumps legal team said they have made the counteroffer listing their conditions for access to the president who is a subject in the wideranging investigation of russian interference in the 2016 election.

The latest news from around the world with hosts John Berman and Poppy Harlow. Or a personal statement . This comes from his team. Again this is about a Pharmaceutical Company out of australia that he sat on the board of while he was a u. S. Congressman until just april. Thats an interesting statement from the u. S. Attorney. The government allegation he was passing nonpublic information to his son, cameron collins, who is also dieted. Then the son was passing the information to other people, and they were trading on that information. Look, he was the guy who knew what was going on here. He knew that there were some negative results according to this indictment on his drug trial. And he then took that information, the government says, and passed it along. The other thing i think thats interesting here is that they are using in this indictment they talk about how he tried to conceal the trading and issues surrounding the drug stock. One point in this indictment they mention how his offi
Yes, i believe so. Okay. And this is just investigation, generally making a public to of openness generally. Right . I think by august 11th, mr. Castor, i think we were talking about 2016 and burisma. The investigation generally was really early in the but do we know that Secretary Pompeo knows that . I think so. Why .

Releases his taxes. And good day everyone, im Andrea Mitchell in washington. Donald trump now demanding a special prosecutor to be appo t appointed to look into the Clinton Foundation. The foundation donors, included corporations and individuals with significant matters before the state department. Not good. The clintons made this state department into the same kind of pay for play operation as the arkansas government was. Pay the Clinton Foundation huge sums of money and throw in some big speaking fees for bill clinton, and you got to play.

List, even as deliberations heat up right now. Some names weve been reporting over the course of this day that still remain likely to be in high profile positions, according to sources familiar with these conversations, include the former u. N. Ambassador john bolton. Hes a hawk. Critics say, perhaps, is too hawkish and wouldnt be aligned with donald trump.

About john would be a very good choice. Is there anybody better . Maybe me. I
