Obama has embraced obama. Not always his policies and not always the candidates whom he has backed. This is a moment and certainly democrats make the case, they need a party leader who has not yet been identified to be someone other than obama or joe biden. They need someone to step in and say the things that democrats and certainly republicans have not been willing to say in era of donald trump. As await the speech, there was a tweet a little while ago from President Trump in which he talked about the investigation to Chris Collins, the congressman from upstate new york. The congressman california as well. And spoke to Jeff Sessions directly. On twitter. Hes fond of doing, hes a favorite target of the president. Barack obama yesterday taking him to task for that, saying it should not be democratic or republican, should not be a partisan issue to say we dont pressure the attorney general or fbi to use the criminal Justice System as a cajole. The former president weighing in on this. A
Tit for at that time. Welcome, everybody. Im neil cavuto. First, to john roberts at the white house on what is fast becoming a very delicate balancing act for the president of the United States. Reporter im told by officials on the q. T. We may hear something from saudi arabia in the not too distant future explaining what may have happened to the saudi journalist who is was a columnist for the Washington Post, jamal khashoggi. A suggestion of a rogue operation that the president was talking about this morning may have ended up in khashoggis death during an interrogation, which was apparently unauthorized by the saudi government. We are digging a little more deeply into this. Officials here at the white house reluctant to say anything just yet because not fully informed yet by the saudi government. There is also a question of classification here. We are keeping a close eye on our saudi sources, because they may have something to say about it very soon. The president on his way down to f
Fire, a tidal wave. Los angeles major Eric Garcetti joins me live when all in starts right now. Good evening from new york, im chris hayes, 19 months after the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel in the russia investigation the president of the United States is nearing completion on written answers to questions from the special counsel about possible collusion and may submit those answers as early as this week. This, during a postelection week in which the mueller team appears to be more focused than ever on links between the Trump Campaign and the russianbacked hacking of dnc emails. A source familiar with the matter tells nbc news President Trump met with his legal team yesterday and was expected to do so again today. The questions and answers pertain only to russian interference in the 2016 election, not obstruction of justice. The substance and timing of that president ial testimony is particularly intriguing since far right conspiracy theorist jerome corsi, an associa
Answers to the special counsel. And what it means for a new acting attorney general who says he would indict Hillary Clinton. Then we put out a statement on saudi arabia. Well see how that all works out. Tonight, global shock waves from the president s decision to side with saudi arabia over american intelligence. Its a shame, but its it is what it is. When all in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. A Major Development in the Mueller Investigation arrives today, the president completing his written answers to the special counsel. Almost simultaneously with a stunning report from the New York Times which details yet another atented abuse of power by the president. This spring President Trump told his white House Counsel to order the Justice Department to prosecute former fbi director james comey, and Hillary Clinton according to two people familiar with the conversation. According to a times quote, the lawyer donald f. Mcgahn ii rebuffed the president saying he
Ran a Strong Campaign in a really trump district, he did not win his congressional race but he was first out of the gate after the election in saying he is definitely going to run for president in 2020. He made it officially official, right away. Right at the closing moments of the elections we also saw a new thinly veiled sort of president ial political ad from billionaire Michael Bloomberg where he speaks at length directly to the camera. After contributing tons of money to Democratic Candidates for this years elections, and telling the press that he is definitely a democrat now and he plans to stay one this time, Michael Bloomberg isnt explicitly saying yet that he is definitely running for president. But that is clearly what he is gearing up for, and he made that clear just as people were going to the polls. Progressive populist senator Sherrod Brown of ohio, he won his senate race on tuesday night, his reelection race, despite republicans targeting him heavily and despite ohio oth
