The last two hours. A battle between the fired fbi director, james comey, and the president where both sides are not just fighting, they are fighting dirty. I mean dirty. Donald trump didnt seem to care much about Russian Election meddling but cared a lot about russian prostitutes and that other thing. This is the stunning contention of james comey who we are hearing from out loud for the very first time this morning. Stunning for what he says, but more so for how he chooses to say it. Listen to how he answers questions about the unverified salacious intelligence he discussed with donald trump back in 2016 that the russians allegedly had videotapes of russian prostitutes with donald trump urinating on each other. This was on abc a short time ago. I said to him, sir, when he started talking about i may order you to investigate that. I said, sir, thats up to you, but you want to be careful about that because it might create a narrative that were investigating you personally. And second,
Deputy attorney general. His Mueller Probe has infuriated the president. Another is Court Documents that sharing internal polling data with a russian for the 2016 campaign. Why all of the secrecy . Why all of the lies and most serious, why is the Campaign Chairman for a u. S. President ial candidate providing Campaign Polling data to someone linked to a foreign adversarial Intelligence Agency . Back to that in a moment, but we begin with a new and important promise today from President Trumps choice to be the next attorney general. A promise delivered just as we learned the man who currently oversees Robert Muellers russia investigation is heading for the exits. A source confirming to cnn the Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein plans to leave the Justice Department in the near future. That has democrats nervous because rosenstein has weathered the president s fuhry and defended the Mueller Probe. Democrats worry that ag nominee william barr wont protect the special counsel because w
Trump incompetent. Ross perot is dead at 89. The texas businessman twice ran as a thirdparty candidate for president , warning that jobs being lost to mexico and the threat of ballooning federal red in ink. Im the only guy that talks numbers. Nobody else will talk about it. Its like a crazy aunt in the basement. Everybody knows shes there but nobody talks about her. Im talking about it. Back to that a bit later. The president meeting with the emir of qatar about rewarding the emir, a serial violator, with an oval office visit. Well keep an eye on that to see if reporters ask the president about the middle east and about his labor secretary, whose past life as a prosecutor is creating present questions about if he should keep his job. The top two democrats in congress, nancy pelosi and the Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer say alex acosta must resign. Schumer heading to the senate floor to make that demand this morning. I am calling on secretary acosta to resign. It is now impossib
Struggling to match his 2016 clout. In the new entry steve hoping its not too late to make friends and supporters in iowa. Ive seen delaney, ive seen Amy Klobuchar and corey booker and i can tell you who else ive seen. So many you have to look at your list. Ive seen beto orourke. We begin the hour with attorney general and a remarkable interview in which he makes clear keeping the boss happy, forgive me, trump is waiting for all the facts to come in. We know the tvs on air force one were tuned in to fox news today as he investigates the origins of the russia investigation. I think people have to find out what the government was doing during that period. If we are worried about foreign influence for the very same reason we should be worried about whether government officials abuse their power and put their thumb on the scale. And, so, im not saying that happened. But im saying that we have to look at that. The attorney general is correct. Making sure the 2016 probe of russian links to t
President ial race. Climate change is a big issue for democratic voters and today biden outlining his plan. This initiative will create more than 10 million new good paying jobs all across the clean economy in the United States of america. Back to that story later, but we begin this hour in london where the president and the Prime Minister doing their diplomatic best to end things on had a high note. President trump has repeatedly criticized Prime Minister theresa may including in an interviewed timed just before his arrival in the uk for this state visit. Prime minister may at times has bristled at that criticism and shes landed a few blows of her own and today she called him donald and said its a sign of strength that friends can disagree and the art of the deal president paid her the ultimate compliment though its may hes handling of the brexit saga that is forcing her to yield power on friday. I still believe its in the best interest of the uk to leave the European Union with a dea
