women, to look what they re coming forward with, and to believe women. you look at how so many feminists back in the late 90s supported bill clinton, because they said, well, he s really good on women s issues. let s just you heard the same argument with al franken and you hear so many democrats still so upset that al franken was forced to resign, but there were so many women who had complained of unacceptable behavior. so i think we on the right and the left, everyone, needs to be careful to test their bias and to stop their own has bok crazy. hypocrisy. leave it there. thanks for joining me. just in to the newsroom right now, former president george h.w. bush is now out of the hospital. he had been there for about a week. he was being treated for low blood pressure. a spokesman telling us that he is deeply appreciative both for the terrific care and the many good wishes he has received. the 93-year-old will celebrate
craig. in about 30 minutes, sarah sanders will be at that podium and is sure to be asked about this. what s important to remember is, what the lawyers have confirmed in this memo is what the washington post reported in a front page story on july 31, that president trump dictatedth the trump tower was about adoptions, not sanctions, and sarah sanders one of her jobs, gather the facts from the staff, present them te american people. say tatoday.isled, she should if she wasn t, it s a sad state of affairs because her job is to tell the truth and she hasn t b than one occasion. thanks to you both. you bet. much more of my conversation with former president bill clinton, including what he calls i w have had to go to rea. north korea, to get rid of the missiles and the nuclear materiel, but i couldn t do
investigations. we know the doctrine says the president can t be indicted but certainly can be summoned to appear before the grand jury as bill clinton was and president nixon, forced to resign over the watergate scandal. they both swore to execute the laws of the united states. one of the laws, you can t interfere with a federal investigation. and another thing, big thing about the memo, the president didnastic, dictate, apparently word for word that statement about his son meeting with the russian flo russians. the statement released on saturday was released by donald trump jr i m sure in consultation with his lawyers. the president wasn t involved in that. i want to be clear the president was not involved i the draing of the statement and did not issue the statement. it came from donald trump jr.
clinton, has a hard time accepting responsibility for how seriously wrong his behavior was. elise, back in november, talk of clinton s past, if you will? the way he handled this. bubbled up an the new york times wrote an opinion piece titled i believe juanita. and reviewing this is complicated and painful. at the same time looking back at the smear campaign against the clintons shows we can t treat the feminist injunction to believe women as absolute. three days later senator kirsten gillibrand saying clinton should have resigned over the lewinsky affair. leading liberals to doubt broderick s allegations. in the #metoo era, do you think that s changed at all, elise? i still think that the pa k hypocrisy is there and we need to be careful to constantly challenge it and to, to look at
politics that people cannot take accountability for their actions and apologize just like bill clinton demonstrated. he is still unable to do today. ruth, the president after the interview did want to make sure that i understood two key things. one, that there had been a shift in this country. the standards had changed from what they were back in 1998. and he very much agreed that the standards for acceptable behavior should have changed in the workplace. second thing, he wanteto make sure i understood that the facts of his case were very different from the facts of a lot of the high-profile cases spawned by the #metoo movement. what do you make of that? that his case is very different from some of these other cases that we ve been talking about? well, first of all, on the question of changing standards. it is certainly clear and it is a good thing that there is much more swift and certain response now to issues of sexual
