Good evening from our nbc news headquarters here in new york. Day 557 of the Trump Administration, 99 days now until the mid term elections. And this might go down as the day we witnessed a change resulting in the new defense strategy. It is about something Rudy Giuliani has started to say. In the days after the president ial election Donald Trumps advisers had a message about contacts between russians and members of the campaign team. In the ensuing months as numerous such communications were revealed the message changed. There was no collusion with russias effort to disrupt the election. On monday President Trumps lawyer Rudy Giuliani presented a third line of defense, even if mr. Trump did collude with the russians he committed no crime. My client didnt do it.

They use the occasion not to amplify and hear the president s policies, but to decry them. 82yearold charles koch has taken the reins of the network. He released this video in advance of the retreat. Now he claims opportunities in the global marketplace are creating anxiety and the loss of jobs at home.
