Hampshire which will be a town hall, same format as sundays debate here on cnn. Dana bash joins us with the details and political strategy behind this. This basically seems like an obvious dry run for sunday night. One source told me it was a scrimmage. They really want donald trump to kind of retain his Muscle Memory from town halls. He hasnt done as many town halls as Chris Christie or john mccain who basically lived in New Hampshire where a town hall is part of the political tdna there. But the fact is they want him to be in an intimate settic just like on sunday night. They have chosen the place where Chris Christie had his first down hall when he announced for president in 2016. And Chris Christie is involved in trying to get donald trump ready stylistically for the idea
said, explicitly to me and others that what made him success flfl that debate. He had the practice. One texted me as it was going on last night, practice practice, it matter. I spoke to a source familiar with trum
Fbi before he fired him last february. Setting off a new round of questions about whether the president s actions amount to Obstruction Of Justice. Well, if you take the president s own statement, his tweet that he knew Michael Flynn was lying to the fbi when he fired him, which means that he knew Michael Flynn had committed a felony when he asked comey to stop the investigation. And when he fired comey when he refused to do so and when he fired sally yates and when he called Michael Flynn in april to tell him to stay strong. All of these acts are to impede and obstruct justice. A source close to the white house acknowledging the severity of the misstep to the Washington Post which writes a person close to the white house involved in the case turned the saturday tweet a screw up of historic proportions that has caused enormous consternation in
to in legal circles about whether or not a lawyer would have sent a tweet or even dictated a tweet like the one that came from the president s f
Coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. If this is a he said she said situation like hallie just put it who has more credibility . President trump or Michael Cohen . Well it depends on who you support, but look, i think in terms of credibility for the purposes of the investigation, bob mueller isnt going to look at that. Hes going to look at what the facts are. And whats interesting here about this is that there is no recording of this particular incident like there was with other incidents. Now, Michael Cohens attorney, a former clintonite has really pushed out that Michael Cohen is now fully cooperating with with the investigation and with investigators. Whats interesting is that yesterday at the white house, and all week at the white house has hallie just alluded to, the president has not issued any type of direct comment on these latest allegations. Thats unique. And until he does about whether or not he did in fact, have knowledge of that june 2016
Thats paying it forward. Thanks for joining us. Im tonight, several developing stories as we come on the air. The president s move late today, revoking the Security Clearance of a former cia director who spoke out against the president. The white house citing john brennans, quote, lying and erratic behavior. And then issued a warning, a list of names of who could be next. Our reporter pressing the white house late today, is the president now targeting those who question him in public . Also, at this hour, the jury now set to decide the fate of Paul Manafort. Our team in the courtroom, Robert Muellers prosecutors telling the jurors to use your common sense. Does it make sense that Paul Manafort had 31 overseas accounts that he forgot he had to report them . Manaforts lawyers taking aim at rick gates. Will it work . Also breaking as we come on, we are just learning of a shark attack in the northeast. Paramedics called to the scene. Swimmers rushed from the water tonight. The deadly Bridg
And conservatives dont want to be around each other and so they have to spread out, you may not see this from like the ivory towers of your law school, but it makes the actual people in this country when the president calls you dont get to interrupt me on this time. Let me also suggest that when you invoke the president s sons name here. When you try to make a little joke out of referencing trump, that does not lend credibility to your argument. It makes you look mean. It makes you look like youre attacking someones family. The minor child of the president of the United States. So lets see if we can get into the facts, to all of the witnesses. If you have personal knowledge of a single Material Fact in the schiff report, please raise your hand. And let the record reflect no personal knowledge of a single fact. And you know what . That continues on the tradition that we saw from adam schiff where ambassador taylor could not identify an Impeachable Offense. Mr. Kent never met with the
