Plus, actions speak louder than words. Why the topics the President Trump didnt talk about last night in ohio, and to impeach or not to impeach. New polling on where the voters stand. We start with the growing concern among a number of Current White House officials and former Campaign Aides that the president could end up issuing pardons for Paul Manafort, this despite warnings to at least wait until after the midterms to do Something Like that. President trump had a fundraiser for the Ohio Republican Party Last Night making no mention of his formter Campaign Manager or others who have turned on him, focusing his ire on democrats instead. While democrats run down our country, they really do, they run it down, its always negative, nasty, the way they come after me. Get used to it. We won the election, were going to win again in 2020 and hopefully were going to keep winning. Were also getting new insight into the mystery safe and just how the National Inquire rer kept negative stories ab
Saying that u. S. Counterintelligence officials are investigating one of ivanka trumps business deals having to do with the Trump International hotel and tower in vancouver, canada. And President Trump says imposing tariffs on steel and aluminum, catching staff by surprise angering republican lawmaker and overseas trading prrns. I want to begin with our cnn political commentator. David axelrod. Can we talk first about the meeting tonight with the higher ups at nra, and the officials that the president seems to be backing off suggestions about gun control . Well we have seen this movie before, havent we, don, on daca, when he wanted to pass this bill of love and was open to all kinds of ideas in front of the cameras. And then reeled back in by his staff and by a couple of senators who are on the antiimmigration reform side of the debate. And so, you know, in some whiches this was predictable. I dont know anyone who believed watching that yesterday. We could hope and i still have hope
Recordings between cohen and the lawyer who represented two of the women who claimed to have had sexual relationships with trump. We also learned that cohen negotiated a 1. 6 million settlement with a former model who said she had an affair with and got pregnant by Elliott Brody a major trump backer and rnc deputy finance chair. He stepped down from his rnc post friday evening. Next came the bomb shell revelation that mueller has evidence confirming a crucial piece of the Christopher Steele dossier that Michael Cohen did indeed travel to prague to the summer of 2016 despite insisting he has never set foot in prague. All of this happened before the president announced the bombing of targets in syria. Purpose of our actions tonight is to establish a strong deterrent against the production, spread and use of chemical weapons. Establishing this deterrent is a vie kal National Security interest of the United States. We are prepared to sustain this response until the Syrian Regime stops its
Im chris hayes. In the wake of democrats historic wins in this years midterm elections, we are witnessing tonight a full on assault of democracy by defeated republicans across the country. Theres an old joke about the definition of chutzpah being a man who asks the court for mercy because hes an orphan, something similar is going on. For years theyve used the nonexistent threat of voter fraud as a pretense to make it harder for people to vote. Even though study after study after study shows that actual in person voter fraud is stew pentously vanishingly rare. That has not stopped republicans from baselessly accusing democrats from trying to steel elections, from donald trump claiming, no evidence, making it up, that he didnt lose the popular vote. To florida senator marco rubio tossing out a bible verse suggesting democrats are making up votes. To House Speaker paul ryan, implying again with no evidence, that the california elections are somehow not legitimate. California just defies l
And now convicted attorney, Michael Cohen. In his first interview since being sentenced to three years in prison, Michael Cohen told abc news the president s claims are just not true. Nothing in the Trump Organization was ever done unless it was run through mr. Trump. He directed me, as i said in the plea, he directed me to make the payments. But thats not all. Nbc news has confirmed a wall street journal report that trump was in the room with National Enquirer publisher, david pecker, and Michael Cohen in august of 2015 during the actual hush money discussions. This is a direct contradiction to what trump said back in april. Remember this . Reporter did you know about the 130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels . Why did Michael Cohen make those . Didnt know where the money came from. Lets start with white house correspondent, Kelly Odonnell. Regarding the hush money payments, cohen said trump knew it was wrong and trumps intent was to, quote, help the campaign. Has there been a reaction fr
