A recap of the days news. I dont know where the evidence is that would suggest that. The fact is that thats what they used against conor lamb in the special election in Western Pennsylvania which trump won by 20 points and conor lamb won. They used it over and over again with Danny Oconnor in ohio 12 who, by the way, is still running in november against mr. Balderson and danny managed to collapse the trump margin from 11 down to less than 1 . Im not sure where the evidence that that is the case, that that is an effective appeal.

Build infrastructure that will move this economy strongly throughout the rest of the 21st century. Finally get americans a raise. These are the things they want us talking and proposing. They want us being practical and wo

This is cnn tonight. i m don lemon. 11:00 p.m. on the east coast live with all the new develops. president trump s lawyer rudy giuliani says trump s legal team responded to special counsel robert mueller. the latest effort in the ongoing negotiations over a possible interview with the president. but they want to put limits on the questions, and they want the negotiations to be over by september 1st. and senator rand paul in russia with a letter from president trump for president putin that the white house and senator paul are saying two different things about what the letter contains. so i want to bring in now congressman denny heck, a washington democrat who s a member of the intelligence committee. congressman, thank you so much for joining us. let s talk russia first. first i want to ask you about these conditions that trump s lawyers are trying to put on any interview with the special counsel. they don t want questions that they consider to be a perjury
I think that rand paul is in tune with today s republican party, what i call the putin republicans, because there s been a sea change that donald trump has brought about which you can see in one poll number from that came out just about a month ago from gallop. in 20 14, about 20% of republicans thought russia was our spend or ally. today ooit s 40% despite everything russia has done to us including interfering if h our election. don t we have a russian ambassador? is. we do. what this reminds me of is the attempt by jared kushner after the 2016 election to establish a back channel to russia through the russian embassy in washington to bypass the state department and our intelligence community and i kind of have to wonder if donald trump is trying to say something to putin in this letter that he doesn t want to go through the normal diplomatic channels. and he s using rand paul. yes. who s establishing himself as a russian loyalist. interesting. brian, let s talk about yo
