Chris Hayes discusses the days top news. Confused, one goal of mr. Giuliani was pretty evident. Ive been sitting here looking in the federal code trying to find collusion as a crime. Its not. Collusion is not a crime. I dont even know if thats a crime, colluding about russians. Okay. You start analyzing the crime, the hacking is the crime. That certainly is the origin of the the president didnt hack. Of course not. Thats the he didnt pay them for hacking. As you know, it has led the meeting with the russians. If you got the hacked information from the russians here at cnn and you played it would you be in jeopardy of going to jail . Of course not. Okay. The president didnt hack and he didnt pay for the hacking. So thats an interesting thing to say. That, though, you that see there, is an idea that trumps allies have trotted out before. It doesnt hold up to legal scrutiny at all, particularly when you consider that mueller has already charged more than a dozen russians with conspiring a
Anderson Cooper takes viewers beyond the headlines with indepth reporting and investigations. Courthouse in alexandrialexandr virginia, cnns jessica schneider. So what did we learn today at the trial . Anderson, we learned a lot. It was only the first day here, but this courtroom is definitely living up to its Rocket Docket reputation. They managed to whittle down this jury pool of 65 people down to 12 jurors plus four alternates, and then, of course, we heard the fiery Opening Statements here. In this, prosecutors shed some light on Paul Manaforts lavish lifestyle, and they did it by talking about his 30 hidden Foreign Bank Accounts they say existed in three different countries. And they say that funded that lavish lifestyle that included seven different homes, ranging from virginia to manhattan, all the way to the hamptons on long island. They also talked about his 500,000 luxury clothing. They mentioned a 21,000 watch, and they even, yes, mentioned a 15,000 jacket made of ostrich. T
Up 10 points. That has now evaporated. Interesting to see who turns out, a testament to the excitement level. Thank you all. That is all for this evening. The Rachel Maddow show starts right now with ari in for rachel. Good evening. Rachel has the night off. We have a pretty big show. Today was day two of the federal criminal trial of the campaign chairman. The witnesses were several people who sold the defendant clothes and houses that he bought through secretive International Wire payments. One important thing we learned from what happened today, this judge is holding muellers prosecutors to the line, limiting their questions and how they present key evidence to manafort to the jury. A former prosecutor who tried these kinds of cases and inside that courtroom today joins me to explain if what the judge is up to could hurt muellers case. There are reports tonight about the russian woman charged with trying to carry out the government influence campaign through the nra in the u. S. And
Meeting. That trumps own son took it explicitly being promised damaging information on clinton and then the times gave the actual information. The meeting, if it is what you say, i love it. If you did that, you might need a wider defense than denial. In october came the multiple denials. October 30, the Special Counsel announcing the indictments against Paul Manafort who goes on trial tomorrow, plus his deputy, Campaign Manager rick gates. Mueller also announced guilty pleas of George Papadopoulos who admitted contacts with who . Russian nationals. Who he thought were tied to the russian government. Who offered him what . Yes. Information about the possible release of Hillary Clintons emails. So following those indictments we then saw allies of the president including now and this is key, the president s own lawyers, picking up the argument like Go Pro Camera, collusion is
it went away for a few months. The president was focusing on just the straight up no collusion point. You see it i
A news and interview program, anchored by Erin Burnett. About keeping President Trumps secrets but will he keep them if mueller closes a trap on stone. Were learning of another big blow to stone, a judge ordering another person close to stone to appear before the mueller grand jury, thats former stone associate Andrew Miller. He fought a subpoena from mueller, the judge, though, said no. So Andrew Miller will appear. And today trumps former Campaign Chairman faced another day in court. Prosecutors slamming Paul Manafort for a fourth day showing he lied on his taxes, lies, lies, and more lies is the story from prosecutors and lets be clear, roger stone and Paul Manafort were not coffee boys Like Team Trump has tried to dismiss another trump aide who pleaded guilty in the russia informati
