The 2016 election including some of President Trumps primary opponents. This does spook to trumps own administration. Speak to trumps own administration. The only person who doesnt see this is the president himself. This morning a series of tweets from the president but none condemning this. I was reminded instantly reading this of marco rubio. Marco rubio, the republican running for president in 2016 warned when the john Podesta Emails were coming out through wikileaks i want to warn my fellow republicans who may want to capitalize politically on these leaks, today its the
intelligence agencies and in term of being able to stop this . I dont know that its u. S. Intelligence agencies or the president himself. There are two ways you can deter this conduct. One is to make it impossible for the adversary to succeed. You impose such a
The latest news from around the world with hosts John Berman and Poppy Harlow. Mark, on top of that, Radio Silence from the president on that statement and on the hack overall. Why . Well, because he doesnt necessarily know what to say. What he has done at this point is that he has put his intelligence chiefs in a very awkward position because they are not go you to have to come out and answer for what President Trump said less than 24 hours ago, where he said that this probe the mueller probe, quote, from the from the reuters article played right into the russians, if it was russia, they played into the russian hands. The idea the president of the United States continues to cast doubt on his own Intelligence Agencies findings that russia is trying to infiltrate our Electoral System is amazing. The fact that he continues to get away with it just really is astounding. Its shocking. How dangerous is it that this happened . That it was clearly targeted. You remember marco rubio in 2016 wh
mcghan s lawyers say he will quote, respect the decision one new england democratic congressman said today if that s the case the house needs to act. if mr. mcgahn doesn t testify tomorrow i think it s appropriate for us to move forward an impeachment inquiry to make an informed judgment. and more on that later in our broadcast. house judiciary chairman nadler says the committee will meet tomorrow. in a letter sent to mcgahn late tonight nadler says he expects mcgahn to appear and if he does not the committee is prepared to use all enforcement mechanisms at its disposal. meanwhile a federal judge s ruling that trump s accounting firm cannot keep his financial records from the house oversight committee is the first big court test, really, for the president s efforts to resist all incoming subpoenas. without a stay from a higher court, this one will be the
president. we have to uphold the rule of law not only as relates to president trump but future presidents. if we allow this president to ignore the rule of law, defy lawfully issued subpoenas, we re not only allowing him to behave badly but sending a message to future presidents. we have responsibility to stand up to rule of law, protect the constitution, make sure we take steps necessary to vindicate those important principles. so you say it would be time to open impeachment inquiry, say you re speaking out now, are you calling for a meeting of the house democratic caucus? if mr. mcgahn doesn t appear, i will argue to my colleagues and the committee chair i believe the time is for that inquiry. that decision isn t mine alone. we saw the mueller report, and beginning our work, have done this in a serious, sober way, we didn t rush to judgment. we said this is a damning
pursue impeachment now, you consider that process what, a dead end? no. the opening of an impeachment inquiry is what happens when the committee begins a formal process of considering the question of impeachment. that s during that process that you compel testimony of witnesses and compel production of documents, hold hearings. that s the process i am suggesting should begin if mr. mcgahn doesn t appear. we would still be required to compel witnesses who tee fdefy subpoenas, we would have to bring that to the floor, but it is done in context of impeachment inquiry hear than in normal oversight responsibilities. sounds like you don t consider it precondition to launch impeachment inquiry going through the process here of full house vote on contempt. no, no. in fact it may well be the face if impeachment inquiry is open, we are still obligated to litigate efforts by the white house to stop us from getting documents and witnesses. there s no reason to think if we
