Coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Anybody else. That aint playing anymore, President Trump. Lets bring in kevin, the Chief Washington correspondent for bloomburg. Great to have you here on this sunday morning. Happy to be here. Your reaction to first lady melania trump. We are seeing an extraordinary moment in this presidency where the president s own family, those closest to him seem to be distancing himself from the controversial statements. The tichliming of the statementm melania, defending lebron james is right after the president lashed out with his strong criticism. It doesnt seem like a coincidence there. Ivanka trump breaking with her father over Family Separations and the criticism of the media. We are seeing those closest to the president publicly saying
backing the president or going to pull full support, but they are weighing in on the issues as sean correctly mentioned on an issue like immigration where ivanka is saying she disagrees
Updates of the days news. Directly intersects with the news of the day about there being potentially a second premeeting for the russia trump tower meeting. Rick gates is one of the names that Rudy Guilliani slipped and revealed in the series of interviews yesterday. What is the significance of Paul Manafort dropping his case against robert mueller. He was trying to have this case dismissed in court, saying that Robert Muellers jurisdiction did not extend to what he is actually charging Paul Manafort with . As i understand, he dropped those charges yesterday. It just seems he is increasingly finding himself to be more cornered and he doesnt have a lot of options to fight back at this point, and this is all getting back to that original goal of trying to squeeze manafort and get as. Information as possible out of him as they move closer hopefully to doing an interview of the president himself. That is still very much on the table. Also, heidi, why is it that Paul Manafort you think hasn
Interviews with political figures and news updates. Agreement that collusion, if you look in the law books, isnt a crime, but conspiracy is a crime. If you speak to legal analysts, and pete probably knows a whole lot more about this, they would say its a part of the broader question that investigators are looking into, andrea. And pete, at the courthouse, this is so important, because its not related directly to the russia probe, but its so important for mueller to have a really strong case going in. Reporter Jury Selection is under way now, andrea. And it could end today. We could get Opening Statements tomorrow, if Jury Selection slops over into tomorrow. Its expected to last three weeks. It has nothing to do with the time that manafort worked on the campaign or was campaign chairman. It has to do with his work for another president , viktor yanukovych, former president of
september, andrea. And just a fashion question, this is a man known for his very, very expensive customtailored
A news and interview program, anchored by Erin Burnett. Latest offer for an interview in the Russia Investigation. And tonight the Washington Post is reporting muellers most recent offer would cut the number of questions to the president in the interview about Obstruction Of Justice by nearly half. Cutting it by nearly half is not good enough for the president. Obstruction in any form is Something Team trump has been very clear is a nonstarter. You said what the president would be willing to sit down sort of figure out in the area of collusion, not obstruction. Meaning he would answer questions about collusion, not obstruction or vice versa . No, collusion, not obstruction. So, very clear, right . Not obstruction. Collusion okay, not obstruction. The fact that obstruction is still part of the interview appears to be setting the president off. He tweeted, this is a terrible situation and attorney Jeff Sessions should stop this rigged witch hunt right now before it stnz to stain our coun
David Gura hosts coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Issue even after the league itself changed the policy to keep these protests from happening. Even when the league isnt even playing. When its in the off season. The president still seems to relish going after africanamerican athletes. Its something that he just seems to always jump at. Something he seems to prioritize. This is unusual. This is not typical behavior for a president. President s dont normally go after private citizens or people who participate in sports. But trump does it again and again. I think thats part of the reason, he gets so much criticism from people in the civil rights community. Theres a lot at play here. Hub ris is one part of it. I was talking to Congressman Ryan from the 13th District in ohio a few moments ago. As the president prepares to go to ohio, insulting one of its favorite athletes whos probably not the wisest thing for the president to do. Lets talk a bit about
