and so the insistent that dowd finally resigns. it s a fascinating book, fear: trump in the white house. bob, thank you so much. let s check in with chris on what he s working on for cuomo prime time at the top of the hour. wow, what an interview! and you re laying it out so well with mr. woodward. we expect the white house to do what they do best, call everything fake news that they don t like. what makes this so amazing, not only do you have him, but it s not just quotes, he puts people in the rooms where relevant things happen. and that s a meaningful distinction. great interview, anderson, for the audience. so tonight, there is new information, the power of the storm and the size of the storm have changed. now, the second factor matters a lot more than the first, for people who have taken false confidence in this storm coming down. we have sam champion here tonight, anderson, to help us
first of all, it s becoming only a political issue. the real question is, this guy didn t get fired by president trump. he got fired by the fbi. seems that the fbi is starting to catch up and say look, we need to clean up our act. they ve come up with nothing. i think it s dishonest and disingenuous for people to look at this as political retribution giving the timing of the firing. this was building for months. he s still going to get a pension. he just doesn t get the full retirement that he wanted. there could be more. there could be a prosecution come out of this. harris: we had a former assistant to the fbi on friday. he said the record will be explosive and show why he got fired. democrats backed off this weekend, tiffany. we ll see when the i.g. report comes out. if you look at the facts and you see that donald trump insistent consistently

i spoke with nikki haley, the u.s. ambassador to the u.n., just short while ago. it was a stick strong day for the united states. a strong day for the united nations. it was a gut punched her north korea, to let them go the international community is tire. the signs that we are seeing from north korea, they are concerned fact. now, they see the international community standing with one voice. china didn t pull off, ruptured that and pull off, and all of the security council and the international community, said that s enough. that is you have to stop it. dana: the sanctions are not sitting well with kim jong-un. they are threatening harsh retaliation. meanwhile, american spy satellites have detected that they have moved missiles to a dpatrol boat, despite the insistent that these mental tests have been halted. i asked the ambassador the ambassador if she had to twist arms to get to these boats on saturday or sunday and she said yes but she didn t give me details. you canha imagin
