joining me now, tom winter, mimi rocha, and our panel, john podhoritz, caitlyn huey burns, and gabe debenedetti. tom, let s start with you. this is the third superseding indictment on paul manafort. what does robert mueller have on him now? today s charges directly reflect something we learned earlier this week. and that is an attempt by manafort, according to prosecutors, to tamper with witnesses to kind of guide their testimony, for them to say and the root of this goes to manafort s political lobbying efforts here in the united states on behalf of the ana kovic regime in ukraine. basically he was trying to guide them to say, hey, you didn t do any work in the united states, remember? it was all work that was done in
home is perhaps equally as consequential. this weekend s disastrous g7 summit with our glowsest allies renewed criticism that this president is an unreliab negotiator, that he is prone to dishonesty that he is someone who is better at breaking deals than making them. his critics call him a destabilizing force for america s national security and an ill prepared reckless figure on the world stage. yet here he is closer to making a deal with north korea than many thought possible. ultimately, will this summit with kim neutralize the criticisms i just mentioned or val date them? it s not clear what the white house will consider a success from this summit. and it s not clear if there is anything substantial president trump and kim jong-un can agree on. i m joined by tonight s panel. eddie gasoline to is an msnbc contributor and princeton professor. john podhoritz is an msnbc contributor and editor at commentary magazine.
