Lawrence odonnell. Nbc news has obtained a new court filing, where Robert Mueller is asking the court to revoke Paul Manaforts release. Saying he attempted to tamper with potential witnesses. It say gs Paul Manafort called, texted and sent messages to two witnesses in february, quote, in an effort to secure materially false testimony. This outreach apparently occurred following the disclosure of an indictment of manafort. Theyre calling for a hearing brought forth by the fbi tonight and to see if the release order should be revoked or revised. Joining us now mimi rocah and harry litman. Im grateful that youre both here to help make sense of this. Mimi lets start with you. What does this all mean . It likely means manafort is going too to jail now. I would be surprised if the judge did not revoke his bail based on this. You know, when prosecutors find out that someone is trying to tamper with a witness, which is what happened here, often its kind of youre dealing with subtle attempts an

The book comes two weeks to the day Michael Cohen testified under oath that the president personally directed him to break the law in an effort to win the white house.

Fine with me. You can keep going. You know, i ran into Ayanna Pressley in massachusetts a few weeks ago and she told me unofficially off the record that they had polling inside their campaign that was more positive than the public polling which showed her significantly behind. And you know, candidates always tell you that. They always say our private polls look better. But she was very convincing about it. And that district in all the iterations that steve was describing from when it was jfks district to tip oneills district to capuanos district, those borders have changed a lot in the district and the way it weaves its way now around boston, through boston. But this is the new face of boston. It is an amazing and kind of wonderful thing to see for someone like me who grew up in a strictly segregated city where this was impossible. To see Michael Capuano tonight give that concession when i think only about 11 or 12 of the vote was in. At the time he started conceding we didnt even have
And two doj insiders telling me today that the president s account about his status in the Mueller Probe would represent a departure from the normal flow of information about the special counsel investigation. One Senior Justice Department official tells me that any information about the president s legal status would have been delivered to the president s legal team from the special counsels office directly, not from the Deputy Attorney general. This official adds that the president s scenario most closely resembles the dramatized scene from the showtime series billions than anything that would have been conveyed by rosenstein. A former senior justice official puts a finer point on the president s comments adding, quote, of course donald trump is a subject in the mueller investigation. Mueller knows it and Donald Trumps lawyers know it too.
