Williams starts now. The president calls omarosa a dog, perhaps because she could now be a danger to this presidency. And the spokesman said she couldnt guarantee that we wouldnt hear the president using the n word. That trump knew about clintons emails before wikileaks put them out. While on the mueller front, when will the deliberations begin . If its tuesday, it must be primary night again. Indeed it is. Steve kornacki has the live results a the big board as the the 11th hour gets under way on a tuesday night. Good evening once again. Day 572 this was of the trump administration, which is now facing the very real possibility that the real threat to the president may be one Omarosa Manigault newman. Dropping another tape this morning and making another round of appearances related to her book. There is no reason to believe she wont drop a new recording each day for some time to come. In fact, annie karni of politico is reporting exactly that fear from the west wing tonight. Quote, pe
Im waiting for him to ask for a cut of his income. Proving that an attack on one is an attack on all, members of the u. S. Intelligence community including 13 former intel chiefs, most of whom have served under democratic and republican president s rebuked trumps broadside against brennan in a rare statement. Writing, quote, we have never before seen the approval or removal of political clearances as was done in this case. Beyond that this action is quite clearly a signal to other former and current officials. As individuals who have cherished and helped preserve the right of americans to free speech, even when that right has been used to criticize us, that signal is inappropriate and deeply regrettable. In explaining the swell of concern about Donald Trumps conduct from former officials of all political persuasions, one of the signatories told me today, quote, you simply cant do this. The Intelligence Community doesnt function like this. Speaking today to a source familiar with then c

Pace. Thats how slowly this thing is going. And today that very slowmoving storm has been busy soaking an already water logged area with up to two feet of rain. The result is predictably disastrous thus far. When youve got rain measured in feet and not inches, thats one thing. Couple that with the storm surge of up to 10 feet. That triggered major flooding, for example, in the city of new bern, north carolina, overnight and throughout the day, hundreds of people have been rescued from floodwaters in new bern. At least five deaths have been blamed on the storm thus far, including a mother and baby who died when a tree fell on their house in the city of wilmington, north carolina. Tropical storm florence is now moving west. And although its winds have slowed some, theyre still very, very strong, and the storm is expected to drop torrential rain for days to come. So still a very, very dangerous situation again. Five deaths attributed to the storm already. Were going to have more on the st
