Becaus because while pence is on the hill to sell lawmakers the gop bill, President Trump is taking to nashville to sell the bill to the American People. We follow another major story here in washington and in a new interview President Trump speaking out about his wiretapping claims that continue to dog him. Wiretap covers a lot of different things. I think youre going to find some very interesting items coming to the forefront over the next two weeks.

It seems to me that a president ial campaign using a law firm as a conduit to pay for activities with which the campaign it itself doesnt want to be directly associated, is more than just dirty politics. Its also quite possibly illegal. To me, it seems that this is at least the violation of Campaign Finance laws for failure to accurately disclose the actual recipients of campaign dispersements.

And why the russia investigation could come down to 18 key day fs in 2017. This is mtp daily, and it starts right now. Good evening. Im katy tur in new york in for chuck todd. Welcome to mtp daily. Tomorrow could change everything. Alabama voters will either send an accused child molester to the senate, freaking out a lot of republicans, or deliver a stinging rebuke against the president , which is going to freak out a lot of republicans. A lot have changed since last year when President Trump was elected despite multiple allegations of sexual assault. Yet here we are wondering if the endorsement of a president accused of sexually assaulting women will clinch a victory for a Senate Candidate accused of sexually assaulting teenagers. Both the president and roy moore denied the allegations against them, but Senate Leaders have made it very clear that theyre going to investigate the allegations against roy moore if he wins. And today three of the president s accusers held a press conferen
