Accepting damaging information on a political opponent from a foreign power. It was response to a question about his son don jr. And that email he received back in june 2016 from a business associate, the associate wrote the russian government was willing to give the Trump Campaign quote, document and information that would incriminate hillary and her dealings with russia and would be useful to your father.

Good evening once again from our nbc news headquarters here in new york. Day 873 of this Trump Administration. If you looked at cable news today and all good citizens should, you wouldnt think the general election is set and donald trump is straight up running for reelection against the democratic nominee, joe biden, but that is certainly not the case. Donald trump sounds like hes running against joe biden, but there are a whole slew of democrats, dozens of them, who beg to differ. And then theres what history tells us about what happens to frontrunners this early in the race. Back to today. Both men attacked each other during multiple events in iowa. The president s first event was at an ethanol plant in counsel bluffs before he spoke at the Republican Party dinner in west des moines.

Whatever she did on that, that will be looked at too, im sure. But i didnt do it. All in starts right now. Good evening from new york, im chris hayes, the house is expected to vote on emergency funding for the border within the hour. Even among worries from some democrats that the measure proposed does not do enough to restrain the president S Immigration policies. Donald trump has already threatened to veto that measure even as his administrations mix of cruelty and incompetence continues day by day to exacerbate a humanitarian crisis at the border. We reported yesterday about the 300 Migrant Children held in truly horrifying conditions at a border station in west texas in clint. Last night an eyewitness described an appalling situation. We saw children who were being forced to live in horrendous conditions that no child should ever have to live in. You mentioned the influenza outbreak, where children were put into isolation. Lice infestation in one of the rooms, which required the Bo
We heard about the witch hunt, the phony dossier, 18 very angry democrats. No collusion, no obstruction. The russian hoax in general. The wall, crooked hillary, and for good measure the academy awards. Plus another cabinet secretary out this time acting defense secretary Patrick Shanahan because of a personal family issue and it comes as some seem to be banging the drum for a war in the gulf. Then there is tomorrows witness before congress, hope hicks.

Congress now have some of Robert Muellers evidence in their hands. Just as of this evening. As William Barrs Justice Department begins to loosen its grip on some of the secret material. The attorney general was one day shy of perhaps being held in contempt. Plus john dean returns to capitol hill bringing echoes and parallels of watergate to the era of trump. And new reporting tonight on what trump is telling friends and advisers about a matchup with joe biden. As the two men are both set to appear in iowa tomorrow night. The 11th hour on a monday night gets under way now. As we start a new week good evening once again from our nbc news headquarters here in new york.
