rare joint news conference? i don t think it will be a lot about immigration because they haven t solved it. the memo, about russia? they ll be asked about those things. they re going to talk about the tax cuts and moving forward on building the country and the economy growing and people getting more having more from their paychecks that they get to take home and use as they see fit. david hoppe, great to have you on. kaitlyn, jill, stick around. bob mueller gets ready to interview the former legal team spokesman. there are questions now about a statement prepared on air force one and why investigators are now zeroing in on a very familiar face in the white house. shawn evans: it s 6 am. 40 million americans are waking up to a gillette shave. and at our factory in boston,
e-mails had been prepared to be submitted to congress. people inside trump world knew about them. robert mueller s team apparently had not learned about this meeting or seen these e-mails until they were reported in the news media. so here you have the trump team discussing whether these e-mails who will see them, seemingly suggesting they could be made to disappear. in fact, that was never going to happen because of multiple investigations scrutinizing every aspect of this. let me bring in jill winebanks, ken, msnbc contributor. jill, it s not a crime to lie to the news media. it s not nice but it s not a crime. why does this reported exchange matter when it comes to this question of obstruction? it is part of a pattern and practice. because it s part of what seems to be an ongoing attempt to kill the investigation and to mislead the investigators as well as the public. and they were preparing this memo to announce to the public
