welcome back. before we move onto the next story i want to correct something i said. i called nikki hailey u.n. secretary when she was u.n. ambassador. acting white house chief of staff mick mulvaney said he will not join a lawsuit by charles cupp cupp cupp cupperman. tonight mulvaney said he plans to file a separate plea over that. i want to know how they define every presidency. back with me is jeffrey toobin. jeff, this is complicated. it s confusing a little bit. can you explain why would he have wanted to have joined this lawsuit? i have to say this is a
that didn t vote for him. he provides only an example of something that we already knew where he went to deny funding. the way he writes it is if this is a regular occurrence that he sort sort of as one tidbit which is interesting. i wanted more. i wanted more examples. david, we re getting this excerpt at the same time. i don t think it s a coincidence that nikki haley is out promoting her time. former secretary of state, rex tillerson and jeff kelly asked her to, quotes, safe the country. she went to trump and told him about it, but the what she doesn t really address is the
same transcript. she talks about the paper process. it s linked to reporting that porashenko may have put a hold on manafort s some of the investigations involving manafort in order to get this assistance. there s more to dig in here.t to the earlier point that we ve been discussing, it means that this discussion with ukraine about quid pro quos is ongoing. they certainly know. and, in fact, allowed at least one potential witness for mueller to be able to leave the country and go to russia. jeff is going to stick around. coming up, more breaking news. cnn has obtained excerpts from the book. it s called a warning.
