i was curious about that, how much long can abbe lowell stay jierd kushner s lawyer? it seemed to imply kushner was lying to him. that s one implication. he also talked to other people in the white house as part of his own investigation and it s his position they all represented to him there was nothing abnormal here. it s a huge question mark. i hope the outoversight committee can get to the bottom of it. i feel like there are a lot of euphemisms question marks in this case. maybe another one. ken dill lynnian, thank you so much as always. when we come back, we will dig into brand-new polling as president trump gives what feels like his first campaign speech of 2020 and uses, shall we say, colorful language. i think my language is very nice. the new green deal or whatever the hell they call it, this speech should have been delivered one year from now, no
evidence points there yet. what about him asking get us hillary s e-mails? encouragement. thank you, senator chris murphy. david corn, thank you. ken dill lynnian, thank you. coming up, hillary clinton got political last night for the first time since losing the election. her comments were sparked by an incident during yesterday s white house press briefing. let s watch. i m sorry that that disgusts you. you re shaking your head. i appreciate it, but okay. but understand this. that at some point the facts are what they are. so you can t shake your head if you re in a white house press briefing. that s head control. anyway, the reporter, april ryan, is going to be here in a minute to talk about that. plus two former allies of governor chris christie are sentenced to prison. they re going to be felons, felonsor their involvement in the 2013 bridgegate scandal. and after the failure of the republican health care bill, president trump acts like he
this is not foreign relations. joining me right now, senator chris murphy of connecticut, david corn, and nbc investigative reporter kendo lynn. ken, from your experience, how good is the senate committee because the house committee is a joke at this point because of its chairman s behavior, his midnight paul revere ride to the white house, whatever you want to call it. what do you make of this thing you saw today, the joint press conference from richard burr of north carolina, and mark warner? i thought it was a strong performance, chris. they did exactly what they set out to do which is reassure the american public. richard burr, who was just elected to a six-year term was pretty frank that he voted for donald trump, but that this was really important. he was going to follow the evidence wherever it leads. this could be an unpleasant moment for the white house, but burr seems serious about it. there s always been the potential for a partisan crack-up in this town as you know, chr
ken, what about these other witnesses? do you think they ll be able to get them, first of all, christopher steele? they re going to get manafort. he s already agreed to show. senator murphy has a good point, and, david, that there might be some restraints on the truth. what would they be? what could be kept from us? i think the fbi has a lot more work to do, though, before we have a smart hearing because, for example, christopher steele, even if he would come to the united states to testify, which is not clear at all, he because the russians might try to kill him. he s not sure how the trump administration would greet him either. well, they won t kill him. i don t think they ll kill him, but he s concerned about legal jeopardy potentially sources tell me. but he s made a series of allegations in the dossier. they are unproven, and the fbi is investigating them right now. so if he came to congress and repeated these allegations, that would be pretty unsatisfactory. we sort o
