Anderson, good evening. We are in the middle of it, like you said. The protesters made their way on Michigan Avenue, if youre familiar with chicago at all, Michigan Avenue is one of the biggest tourist destinations. Its been peaceful. The protesters have been loud, sitting down at time in the middle of intersections and blocking traffic, but for the most part, things have been peaceful here. Over the weekend, things started peacefully here in chicago and escalated into violence, arrests later in the protests. But anderson, so far, its been peaceful here in chicago. Do police know where the protests go or is this just in the spur of the moment happening . It seems like theres a spur of the moment. Theres a group who have identified themselves as leaders, but with such large numbers, at one point theres been a couple thousand people in this march. Police are blocking off intersections. But again, with so many people, they can only do their best and theres been a couple of times where the
It really escalated quickly. We watched this. We do know four people have been arrested and a couple of people have minor injuries. But were working to get more information on exactly what is going down, and what police are doing about it. Now, we have video, again, from moments ago that you are watching right now, fighting happening in the streets of berkeley, california, during protests amongst supporters of President Trump and those who are opponents. Police also tell us they have confiscated a number of items from the crowd, something they cowl contraband like a knife, some sticks. Were working to get more information on exactly what is happening. Last check, things seemed to have calmed down just a little bit. But it doesnt take much for a scene like this to break out. Weve been watching these pictures for some time now. Were also monitoring other big stories happening around the globe. In north korea today, the country is not just ignoring President Trumps threats, but raising th
I think last night was a referendum. I dont think theres any way you can look at it in any way, to be honest with you and be intellectually consistent. What does the president have to say about that . Essentially, dont look at me. Tweeting after the gillespie loss this, ed gillespie worked hard but did not embrace me or what i stand for. Lets break it down. What message were voters really trying to send . Cnn director David Chalian is joining me now with much more. So david, the votes, they tell us one thing, but the exit polls offered some really interesting insight last night, not much of it uplifting to republicans. What are you seeing . One of the first thing we look for, kate, is this trump factor that youre talking about. When we ask voters in virginia, do you approve or disapprove of the way donald trump is handling his job . Take a look, virginia voters, he had a 40 approval rating. 57 disapproval. 17 points underwater there. That is never a good sign if you are a candidate in
Deal with mexico and canada. The markets are pretty exciting. They responded in a positive way all day. Right now the dow is up. 8 . The trade deal is largely deemed a win for the president , but instead this happened. You said that its incorrect to say youre limiting the scope of the fbi investigation what does that have to do with trade . I dont mind answering the question, but id like to do i do have a second question on the kavanaugh thing when you get back to it lets go. Youll take that now . No, no. Okay. Thank you, mr. President. Now that youve answered several questions on trade do you have excuse me. Do you have a question on trade . Well do one or two dont do that. Thats not nice. Okay. Talked about trade for a while but almost an hour into the News Conference the president switched gears to address the other major headlines. The fbis investigation into the allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. I think the fbi should do what they have to do to get to the
The message, of course, being the length of time that the trump tower moscow project stayed and remained alive. Jay sekulow called cohens allegation thats trumps lawyers edited or changed his statement to congress completely false. Cohens repeat appearance today on the hill is just one of a number of oversight efforts by House Democrats, the house judiciary committee, of course, kicking off the week with an explosive list of 81 people and entities in President Trumps orbit that they want answers from as part of broad investigations including theyre asking for answers from his soninlaw Jared Kushner, whos on that list, but not his daughter ivanka, a Senior Adviser. This too as there is new reporting from cnn about the president s hand in security clearances for both jared and ivanka. There is a lot to get to. Elie honig is a former attorney and a cnn legal analyst. I want to start first with this new reporting from manu raju about Michael Cohen showing up today with these documents. So
