brooke. we know, josh, how matt whitaker publicly opined how he felt about the russia investigation and about mueller. what has bill barr said publicly on mueller and russia? well, big barr has been a little critical of the make-up of mueller s team, saying he should have been a little bit more balanced in doing that. he has defended the president at times and said the president should be briefed on an investigation. but he hasn t said a whole lot. he has not been one of the leading commenters. he obviously is a respected lawyer, at kirkland and ellis for his career, he was at verizon, he was in the government, he s had decades of experience. he s not been one of the most v virulent commenters on the probe one way or another. thank you for all of your great reporting. major developments are expected to drop tomorrow from
the special counsel robert mueller. we ll discuss what his court filings could reveal about the scope of this russia investigation. also here s two words you may not want to hear in reference to the white house winging it. my next guest has insight into president trump s legal team strategy and how they plan to respond when mueller s final report actually drops. the united states postal service makes more holiday deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country. with one notable exception.
accusing him of breaching that agreement by repeatedly lying on range of issues. we expect manafort to file a brief on wh mueller to file af on what manafort did to breach the deal. and then there s michael cohen, who trump calls a weak person for flipping on him. mueller s office has to submit their office by tomorrow afternoon. this has to do about cohen lying to congress about the trump tower moscow deal. cohen now admitting he was updating trump about that deal far longer than he originally said, saying the president was aware of his trump organization s business efforts in russia while running for president. and finally, brooke, fbi director james comey, famously fired by trump, as republicans are about to lose control of the house in january, the judiciary
bells for president trump and his team. a sentencing memo for michael cohen could offer new details about how he s cooperating with investigators. but the one that could be the main event involves trump s former campaign chairman paul manafort and the alleged lies that derailed his plea deal with mueller s office. alex marquardt is here with a preview of the day tomorrow that will include an appearance by former fbi director james comey. alex, it s going to be a big day. it is going to be a big day, brooke. the mueller team has been exceptional about keeping the inner workings so secret. first let s talk about paul manafort, the trump campaign chairman who struck that stunning plea deal with mule el three months ago only to now see it fall apart. this we expect to be the main event. the special counsel s office
committee chairman has subpoenaed comey one more time to testify about the fbi s handling of hillary clinton s e-mails and the russia investigation. in that will be behind closed doors. co comey wanted it in public and he said he will talk about it afterwards. it will be a big, big day tomorrow on multiple fronts. who knows, with all the redactions we saw on the flynn documents, i think we ll be scratching our heads quite a bit more on these others. alex, thank you. here is one big question, how is the white house going to respond when mueller s final report comes out? according to a new report in the atlantic, no one knows, not even the people who work in the white house. the trump white house is all but winging it, cites current officials as saying, quote, the administration has no plans in place for responding to the special counsel s findings, save for expecting a twitter spree.
