Wanted to have them all in this same meeting in the same room here to discuss all this with the president. But still, even though the vote is scheduled for this evening, expected this evening, other republicans im talking to here and on capitol hill say they would nobt at all surprised if it was set aside or pushed back. That happens, thats a sign there is a big problem. John . Thats an understatement to say the least. Jeff zeleny at the white house. Lets bring it into the room. House Speaker Paul Ryan was supposed to speak to reporters this morning. Hes delayed that until this afternoon. Horse trading behind closed doors, wheeling and dealing, the very thing republicans criticize the democrats for doing when they passed obamacare but well put that aside for a second. What does this tell you that the president is meeting and gets a standing ovation from members of the House Freedom caucus who at the moment you can make the case are undermining the president on priority number one becau
To help grow your business. Another way we have your back. The powerful backing of american express. Dont do business without it. Welcome to kasie d. C. Im kasie hunt. We are live from washington every sunday from 7 00 to 9 00 p. M. Eastern. Tonight, publish or perish . James comey is out with a bombshell new book as the feds release a report deeply critical of Andrew Mccabe. Were joined by congressman jim himes of the House Intelligence Committee who says the president doesnt have the right to shine james comey shoes. Plus sanctions coming for russia after america strikes targets in syria. But what remains to be seen is the american strategy. Beyond declaring mission
accomplished. But first, the week begins full of questions. What do the feds have on Michael Cohen . Who is back in court in just a few hours. Stormy daniels will be there, too. How will the president react to james comey interview tonight . And how much longer will Rod Rosenstein have an office in the Department Of Justi
Thats all the time we have. I hand it over to don lemon. 360 will be back tomorrow. This is cnn tonight. Im don lemon. The magnitude of this day is unbelievable. It is historic. It is a moment when our country is on the brink. On the brink of what could turn into a constitutional crisis and potentially on the brink of military acts in syria. A furious President Trump surrounded by grimfaced military leaders in what was planned to be a meeting of syria, his arms folded, blasted the fbi raid today on his personal attorney Michael Cohen. I just heard that they broke into the office of one of my personal attorneys, good man,
and its a disgraceful situation. Its a total witch hunt. Ive been saying it for a long time. Ive wanted to keep it down. Weve given, i believe, over a million pages worth of documents to the Special Counsel. So let me be absolutely clear about this. The president is absolutely wrong. Nobody broke into Michael Cohens office. And nobody, not even the president , is above
Probably stay republican with the chief Justice Roberts as the judge, win it there and declare a victory. And thats what he should do. Well, we have to remember bill clinton was impeached but stayed in office. So it doesnt necessarily mean it would be the end of his precedency. Takes a two thirds vote, remember. So, jack, would firing him get the president his ability to control the Special Counsel investigation. That would be the only reason of getting rid of rosenstein. I think itll be exceedingly difficult. I cant imagine someone will come in and sit in rosensteins place and try to babysit him and redirect of the course of the investigation. Thats just not going to happen. I totally agree with everything bob said, by the way. And i think if he tries to replace rosenstein, if he tries
to replace sessions, it would be seen for what it is. It would be seen as the act of a man with a guilty mind. Innocent people dont behave this way. They dont threaten to fire anyone whos taken a hard l
This letter which is dated today is written from President Trumps attorney to judge wood who will be overseeing a very high stakes hearing tomorrow in new york about all those ver sensitive materials that were seized by the fbi in the raid of Michael Cohens office, of his hotel room and his home as well as the seizure of his phones and this is something that i dont think has ever been said before, at least not to to my knowledge on the news. The president of the United States is offering to make himself personally available for any review or screening of the evidence that the fbi seized of his lawyer. Its an unusual offer to say the least and with that let me get right to a well assembled panel. Senator richard blumenthal, former senator byron dorgen and Eugene Robinson from the the Washington Post which has broken some of these stories your colleagues have. Ill go Down The Line. Dealers choice on which aspects of this you want to speak to and, senator, your view of what appear to be a
