This is really unusual head spinning at times because mulvaney has made and taken so many different positions on this. Just last night his attorney said he was going to file this lawsuit and essentially asking the courts to decide does he have to answer the subpoena or listen to the white house and President Trumps orders not to cooperate. Now they say hes not going to do that. Instead hes going to listen to that letter he played a role in drafting, that eightpage letter, you remember, the white house put out basically instructing white house aides not to cooperate with any request from democrats. Now relying on that even though just last week was trying to join a lawsuit with former Deputy National security adviser asking the courts to decide what he has to do, who he has to listen to herein a way pitting Mick Mulvaney against the president in a sense instead of just taking orders. He is going to do that now. Reversed course today. Its confusing and no one able to explain the motive w

All in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. It has only been a week since speaker of the house nancy pelosi announced an official and informal impeachment inquiry to donald trump. And since then things have been moving at a blistering pace.

It is just one instance of a president using the entire machinery of our government to his ends. Exclusively with no regard whatsoever to Public Interest or the national interest, and that is what the scandal of donald trump writ large is really. That is what secretary of state mike pompeo is trying to do at the state department. It is lest i have to say this, not mike pompeos state department. Its not Donald Trumps state department.
