Operators this week, but and i called one individual usually pretty connected and said any upcoming attacks that we dont know about . Have you run the traps as well . Well, ive been focusing on the mueller trump russia news tonight, brian, but its just so remarkable that there are so many possibilities here because of the posture of this administration. North korea, iran, yemen. Were taking Military Action in countries around the world where we havent been before. You know, theyre really leaning on the balls of their feet here in terms of the military and people are wondering, you know, what could be next. Yeah. I think thats why people were so concerned when they backed away and looked at the substance of what the president said tonight. Counselor, help us turn the corner into the mueller investigation. So muellers associates have found the author of the dossier. We learn this a day after there were complaints in the senate that they havent found, nor is he cooperating with them. Does
Special prosecutor is going to talk to steve bannon, who you spent a lot of time talking to. The Special Prosecutor has been talking to many of your sources in this book. Has the Special Prosecutor reached out to you to talk to you about either the firing of the Special Prosecutor or any other elements of this story . He has not. And if the Special Prosecutor does want to interview you, would you cooperate with that . Good question, and i dont know the answer. But i think that the answer is, yes, because i have nothing to hide. Everything i know is in the book. What about the sources that are many sources are revealed in the book and many quotes attributed to people. But there are a lot of unattributed quotes. If the Special Prosecutor would point to the book and say who is the source here, and its a source i cant reveal, i clearly would not. You know theres no privilege. The Special Prosecutor could hold you in contempt and you could end up in jail by refusing
to answer that. Ive had
And later, my conversation with senator Kiersten Gillibrand. But first we are following a wave of breaking news. Rudy giuliani tells the New York Times and nbc news Robert Mueller will seek to conclude his investigation into collusion with russia by September 1st. So far we have not heard anything from the Special Counsel ourselves. Robert costa from the Washington Post reports an important asterisk. That deadline might hold true if the president sits for an interview. At the same time, President Trump ordering the Justice Department to investigate an if in Fib Informant who was used in the early stages of the russia probe. The president tweeting, quote, i here by demand and will do so officially tomorrow that the department of justice look into whether or not the fbi doj infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for political purposes. As for the president using the power of his office to intervene in an ongoing Justice Department
investigation, maybe we shouldnt be too surprised.
A look at the days top news and headlines. Plausible, innocent explanation although i cant see one here for building all these offshore accounts and funneling money there to escape reporting it to the irs. On the other hand, i dont think the manafort defense is working. His defense is essentially this he is batman, hes blaming robin for all the problems. And thats just not going to work. Dana like the jury is not going to buy that let me ask you a few things that other possible, you know, big shot lobbyists in washington, d. C. Are rethinking some of their own practices at this point. That is a great question, dana. I think one of the things people overlooking is that manafort is not the unusual one in a way. He is unusual in that he tried to hide the money and not report it to the irs. Its not unusual in the way that he is making the money. He, like a lot i think this is partially why trump campaigned against quote, unquote, the swamp. There are lobbyists. A lot of people who just rec
The days top stories from around the world, from politics and money, to sports and pop culture. Saw as obvious that he is all about protecting trump. Good afternoon, everyone. We begin with the politics lead. President trump seemingly signaling he could be taking some sort of move against the Special Counsel Investigation Tweeting out a series of debunked claims about the probe before writing quote stay tuned. It was eight days ago that the president tweeted that Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop the Mueller Investigation. Keep in mind this president did fire the then fbi director with the russia probe foremost on his mind. We could hear directly from the president as he is hosting a Round Table Event from new jersey and also possibly factoring in the stand off between him and mueller about whether the president will ever sit for an interview. Rudy giuliani saying the president will not answer muellers questions about his decision to fire comey or any e
