Stars dorondo dale, and in the face of all that lying the president took it to a new level this week. Just remember what youre seeing and what youre reading is not whats happening. Well, this is a president who doesnt hesitate to tell you that whatiosee with your own eyes and hear with your own ears is not the truth. The sheer number of lies can be overwhelming, and the danger is well become numb to all of this, that well tell ourselves its just trump being trump. But theres a larger question here. Can the truth survive President Trump . As a new York Real Estate developer he built his business on his own blatant lies claiming trump tower has 68 floors when the truth is easy to see, it has 58. When according to a forbes
reporter his real worth was closer to 5 billion and this is man who built his campaign on lies starting with racist birther lie starting with president barack obama was not born in this country, a lie he still reportedly clings to in private. He wasnt born in this count
Lets bring in our leadoff panel for this friday night. Franco ordonez, White House Correspondent for mcclatchy newspapers, covering immigration and foreign affairs. The New York Times katie benner, pulitzer prizewinning reporter who covers the Justice Department. And yamiche alcindor, White House Correspondent for news hour on pbs. Thanks to all of you for being with us. Katie, let me start with you. We have that reporting tonight about some movement on that issue of reunifying parents with children, at least some of them. You cover the Justice Department, the legal end of this. It sounded like there was still plenty of confusion when that Executive Order was issued the other day by the president about what that was actually going to allow in terms of reunification. How clear is that now . Absolutely. So as you say, this was another selfinflicted wound by the Trump Administration not thinking through clearly enough a directive before issuing it. So we saw a lot of confusion last night.
East coast, President Donald Trump has a busy week ahead of him. On monday hes expected to take questions from reporters in a joint News Conference with the visiting Prime Minister of italy. Mr. Trump will likely be asked about his latest twitter rant against the Special Counsel, Robert Mueller. The president now claiming mueller has multiple Conflicts Of Interest in the russia investigation. In addition to that, there are still questions about the tapes the president s former attorney just released as well as mr. Trumps threat to shut down the government to get funding for his border wall that he said mexico would pay for but in fact he means the taxpayers will pay for. Cnns Boris Sanchez is traveling with the president , or he was in new jersey. He has more on mr. Trumps twitter tirade. Thats hard to say.

A news and interview program, anchored by Erin Burnett. Latest offer for an interview in the Russia Investigation. And tonight the Washington Post is reporting muellers most recent offer would cut the number of questions to the president in the interview about Obstruction Of Justice by nearly half. Cutting it by nearly half is not good enough for the president. Obstruction in any form is Something Team trump has been very clear is a nonstarter. You said what the president would be willing to sit down sort of figure out in the area of collusion, not obstruction. Meaning he would answer questions about collusion, not obstruction or vice versa . No, collusion, not obstruction. So, very clear, right . Not obstruction. Collusion okay, not obstruction. The fact that obstruction is still part of the interview appears to be setting the president off. He tweeted, this is a terrible situation and attorney Jeff Sessions should stop this rigged witch hunt right now before it stnz to stain our coun
The days biggest political and news stories, with interviews and reporting from around the nation. Unless they comply with equally bizarre set of convictions. I feel torn, playing around the margins of how ludicrous this is and part of me want to probe the implications of the investigation. Sean hannity is a person who shared a lawyer with the president , michael cohen, that he hid from the public who is now under Serious Investigation and strain who just last night the if hes finished dealing with the privileged aspects of all of the materials they raided on him including seized Tape Recordings of the president.
