Another tweet storm. President trump taking to twitter it attack Robert Muellers investigation, but one of his tweets may have created a legal nightmare for him and for his oldest son donald trump jr. Thats not the only cause for panic. The president in an allout effort to save a congressional seat, republicans have held on to for more than 30 years. To continue our incredible success we must elect more republicans and we must elect troy balderson. We have to elect troy. And high hope from a White House Communications director. Hope hicks spotted on Board Air Force one this weekend. Could she be plotting a return to Donald Trumps administration . But lets begin with that meeting at trump tower. That meeting donald trump jr. Agreed to hoping he would get dirt on Hillary Clinton. That meeting the trumps a
It was much lengthier, which i think caused some of us to speculate that all of these delays related to some juror issue, but the jurors are all back. Theres been no further discussion of the reason for the delay. Testimony is ongoing. The other intriguing thing that happened today was about sealed testimony about some rick gates testimony that could have to do with an investigation that is still ongoing.

Particular story about kavanaugh, to continue to develop through the weekend. Republicans definitely want to steam ahead with voting on him as soon as next wednesday or thursday. Its hard to see how that happens while this story is still developing, but watch this space. That does it for us tonight. We will see you again on monday. Now its time for the last word with lawrence oh dodge. Good evening, lawrence. You know how this show starts at 10 00 or i should say is supposed to start at 10 00 . Mmhmm. And every once in a while it starts 15 seconds later, 30 seconds later. My fault, sorry. And its a pretty organized and ritdialistic thing, and thats the way its supposed to work. But we can change that. We can change that on the fly if we have to and if something happens and if there was some kind of giant breaking news event, we would deal with that whole concept differently, and the Senate Judiciary committee can do exactly the same thing.

This case is about carmen. This case is about nick. Thats all for this edition of dateline. Im natalie morales, thank you for watching. Good morning on this sunday morning. Im Frances Rivera at msnbc world quarters. Its 6 00 in the east, 3 00 out west. Heres whats happening. The impeachment battle intensifies. The latest on the timeline an the strike that vi for both sides. Plus, the new effort to unmask the whistleblower. A political pressure on the other side to delay and stone wall as long as possible. If they do impeach the president , the senate doesnt vote to convict, imagine what kind of a presidency youre going to have. The American Public is very smart and they will understand if the story is told and in a simple way. Also, the new report about Hillary Clintons emails and how the Trump Administration is still investigating them. And they are back. The gang at sn all right. Returns poking fun at the president and his personal attorney. Spenl this morning, the battle lines as im
