News, analysis and interviews with politicians and observers. Personal purposes. On the other hand, if it came out of a Donald Trump Trust fund, which i understand weisselberg also manages, it might not be any kind of a financial tax crime. So hes somebody who has very, very Important Information which could be helpful to the prosecutors. Not only in the cohen case but if they want to dig deeper into the Trump Organization. And weisselbergs cooperation seems to be limited to the cohen probe. What would prosecutors need to call weisselberg back and ask him to provide information about other potential crimes . Well, i think you know, what always happens in these federal investigations, and we saw it in the manafort case, when they start looking at a particular issue, sometimes they stumble across other things that turn out to be criminal in nature. Thats, i think, one of the reasons why the president is probably as upset as he has been sounding this week. Once they start looking into the
A recap of the days news. Did you see the article, there was an article in the Washington Post or in vox about it. Its unbelievable because none of it is true. None of it is true. Look, there are problems there. Well have to see which way they take their constitution. The president of the United States is cosigning something from a White Nationalist group. Its just beyond fathomable now. And that he would hear something on tv and not use a power that you and i pray to whatever we believe in every night, which is to pick up the phone and say, hey, is this true in south africa . Hes got the best intelligence in the world. They would have told him the truth. Instead he enlists his Secretary Of State to chase down a bogus report that he heard on tv. And the reason he did it is what really shakes me in my bones. He cant care about this as an issue, theres too much racism at home to worry about. I believe that hes reaching out to a group hes been told he needs. And he doesnt need them. There
The latest news from around the world with host Brooke Baldwin. Needed for a long time. I think these are people who cant speak publicly and they depend on their leadership to speak out. Fbi director Christopher Wray pushed back a little while ago. A few months ago. I think that its great that this message has been sent and remember, ana, that every time the president talks about how much he hates the fact that Jeff Sessions recused himself, this is an angle that is being investigated by the Special Counsel in terms of the obstruction of Justice Charges for firing james comey. So each of these tweets is yet another piece of evidence that goes to this longstanding resentment and grudge that he has that as david kris said, he has not been protected and had an expectation that this investigation would go away. David, what does trump do now . Because sessions just made pretty clear loyalty isnt on the table. Yes, well, i would have loved to have been a fly on the wall
in their recent inper
Anderson Cooper takes viewers beyond the headlines with indepth reporting and investigations. Interesting to see the white house parsing its words over this issue. This is something under discussion, something been on the president s mind and appears its been on the president s mind lately as well. To hear the president yet again go after Attorney General Jeff Sessions, going after him in that interview, we will talk to him more about it later. Where do things stand on that. You heard him earlier on fox, What Kind Of Man is this, once again seizing on this recusal Jeff Sessions decided to go with early on in the administration to stay out of the russian investigation. That has obviously been under the president s skin ever since then and he went after Jeff Sessions. What changed, a watershed moment often this Punching Bag Relationship the president constantly beating up on Jeff Sessions, Jeff Sessions fired back showing what a lot of people in washington have been waiting for for a lon
Senator john mccain. It will head for a funeral home tomorrow and the senator will lie in state at the u. S. Capitol, just the 31st person to do that. Joining me now, president ial historian, Douglas Brinkley and retired general mark herling, doug, this is a week long week for senator john mccain the likes we havent seen. You dont see this for anyone other than a u. S. President , perhaps Robert Kennedy, the one exception to that. Maybe not sense Robert Kennedy have we seen this outpouring of emotion for u. S. Senator. I think thats exactly right. The fact Senator Mccain will be lying in state in the rotunda of the u. S. Capitol building one of only 31 others to have had that honor. We do it for president s or Supreme Court justices. The country has fallen in love
with john mccain this week. We always loved him and admired him. The more were learning about his lifelong career in politics and Military Service the more were kind of nostalgic and longing for the virtues that he had. They
