Youre watching cnn. Im brooke baldwin. Thank you for being with me. After days of blocking subpoenas and rejecting information requests, President Trump just addressed reporters in this wideranging and impromptu q a at the white house this afternoon. And the president discussed everything from his National Security adviser john bolton to north korea to even calling the Mueller Report, which he called a witch hunt for months and referred to it as the bible. And the president responded to the first ever congressional subpoena of one of his Family Members. Sources say about the time the redacted version of the Mueller Report went public the Senate Intelligence committee subpoenaed donald trump jr. I was surprised. I saw richard burr saying there was no cleegs and he went outside and said there was no collusion. We found no collusion. But i was very surprised to see my son my son is a very good person. Works very hard. The last thing he needs is washington, d. C. Hes now testified for 20 h
Is already being built. Were building a lot of wall right now as we speak. The chant should be finish the wallace opposed to build the wall because were building a wall. We havent declared a National Emergency but were continuing to build a wall and were building a lot of wall. Okay. Two points here. First, lets fact check this. It is not true. None of what the president said is true. No new sections of the border wall have been built or are being built. We stretched our graphic staff tonight to show you this. Thats the number of miles of wall that have been built. Second, if the wall was being built as the president claims, why did he shut the government down for 35 days . What was the point of the shutdown if the border wall was already under construction . Okay. Back to the other universe that the president is living in. He also falsely claimed today that he has the money to build his wall. Have you found the money to build the wall if you have to . We have a lot of money and thats
Welcome to inside politics. Im john king. President trump at any moment to hold a News Conference alongside the Prime Minister of florida, he iran. He is putting tough new sanctions on the Iranian National bank which he says goes to the top of the Iranian Regime. And hes also gone to the top of the whistleblower complaint. The president says the complaint is partisan nonsense. Its a partisan whistleblower. They shouldnt even have information. Ive had conversations with many leaders that are always appropriate. I think scott can tell you that. Always appropriate. At the highest level always appropriate. Anything i do, i fight for this country. I fight so strongly for this country. Its just another political hack job. Thats all it is. Youve seen this playbook from the president before. Attack the source, make it all partisan. Even as the president went on to admit hes not even sure, he says, what the complaint is about. I dont know the identity of the whistleblower, i just hear its a par
Our team is with this story and all the otherings we are bringing you. Kelly odonnell and hans nichols. And Cynthia Oxney and chuck rosenberg. Kelly, to you. This is news from congressman nadler confirming hicks is not answering questions. We think about her time in the west wing due this this assertion of executive privilege in the white house. Well, jerry nadler told us she is answering questions and that the interview goes on. He came out a short time ago. We spoke to him on camera. And other members we have spoken to have said provide a more mixed picture that she is answering some questions. And the other questions are white House Counsel that are democratic members of the committee are raising their concerns about a president ial immunity, which is asserted in a letter to the white House Counsel that set the stage for this. We are getting a mixed picture that hicks is here, is participating and is answering some questions. But at the same time there are a number of areas where th
51 of registered voters want donald trump to be impeached and moved from office, up nine points since july. That is something the white house and the president should certainly be troubled about. And as far as his business with joe biden, it says only 36 find it deeply troubling about the president bringing up his sons dealings with the ukraine and china. 36 puts it at just about a little shy of the trump base. It being fox news, its a little bit relevant. Good for them for having the gumption to put out a number like that. But it still keeps a high bar on the democrats. This is a good play for trumpets to say, whats the crime, whats the crime . I can argue all day that its not what impeachment was contemplating. Its not about a crime. But it still sounds good. Yeah. And you need bipartisan buyin, and that could be enough to keep from getting it. Theres also nothing in the constitution that says they have to do what matt schlapp is saying and what other republicans are saying. No, schl
