house advisors related to the trump? i was very explicit in my opening staumt as to that not only about my communications regarding the special counsel s office and i said other investigations in the southern district of new york would be included in other investigations. chuck, you re a lawyer and a very good one obviously. he says the white house hasn t provided any promises or commitments, which is pretty a specific language. and those are exact lathe words i have keyed in on, chris. and he arefers congress back to his opening statements that seems to hinge on promises or commitments. it seems like there were conversations between the president and whitaker, not just about recusal but about the scope of the investigation and whether it had gone too far.
i think there are three main take aways that we take away from today. one with, unlike in the hearing room, mr. whitaker to discuss the michael cohen case and personnel decisions in the southern district. two, while he was acting attorney general, mr. whitaker was directly involved in conversations about whether to fire one or more u.s. attorneys. three, while he was attorney general, acting attorneygeneral, mr. whitaker was involved unconversations about the scope of the southern district of new york berman s recusal and whether the southern district went too far in pursuing the campaign finance case in which the president was listed as individual number one.
two courts have ruled no evidence of any collusion with russians. then new suggestion that trump might have tried to interfere in a case that directly implicates hum. mr. whitaker did not deny that he called to discuss the michael cohen case and personnel decisions in the southern district. plus the efforts to rain in the president on yemen and the border and a look at some of the less covered hearings on capitol hill when all in starts right now. good evening from new york. the president s campaign manager who pasds polling data to a manhattan cigar bar at the height of the presidential race just got another thirty-two and a half years added to his sentence. and another 16 state charges slapped on top of that.
