A newscast reviewing and analyzing top stories of the day as they happen. The government and for manafort to keep things moving along. They did. That is the same judge that challenged the special counsels office and accused them of just trying to use charges of financial crimes to squeeze manafort in giving them information that they could use against President Trump. The trial proceeded anyway and the former Trump Campaign manager that was a wakened by an fbi agent performing a noknock raid is being confronted with evidence that he hit 60 million from the irs which he received consulting ukrainian politicians. The charges are for falsifying income tax returns, bank fraud and failing to file reports. If convicted, manafort could face 305 years in jail. Theres Sentencing Guidelines for federal cases like that that would suggest that the judge would probably give him something less than that, shep. Shepard what is the next step in this trial, peter . Any minute, shep, we expect

A newscast reviewing and analyzing top stories of the day as they happen. Mandate was originally and whether or not there was any collusion between the Trump Campaign and russia to try to influence the election. In his response letter, mueller said, no, i want to talk about the issues that go to obstruction as well. Im not sure where that leaves things right now. I know that the president s attorneys are formulating a response. Theyll likely have that next week. They dont want to let the president sit down with mueller and talk oneonone about these issues of obstruction. They might be willing to submit some written answers on the question. Mueller has said he would accept written answers in person also. What is interesting as well today about the Press Briefing, President Trump has talked about there being no credibility of this russian investigation, calling it a witch hunt, talking about malign actors at the fbi. Chris wray was asked why we should believe what hes saying about protec
A precursor to Fox Newss morning show, featuring the news and first looks at the other stories of the day. Nowhere, i did not know about it. The tweet contradicts statements made by the attorney who had this to say. I had Bad Information at that time. I made a mistake in the statement, i talked about that before, that happens when you have cases like this. I think its very important to point out that in a situation like this you have over time facts develop, thats what investigations do. Griff across the aisle democrats continue to accuse the president of collusion. As long as the russians interfered on Donald Trumps side, Vladimir Putin can count on the president never calling him out. Theres plenty of evidence of collusion and conspiracy in plain sight. The president is in bedminister in what the white house is calling working vacation, the negotiations continue, so this will, i guess, eventually give us an answer but it aint coming right now, rob,
jillian. Rob okay, griff, thank you

The judgment that the policy was unlawful and unconstitutional. He goes on to say while the memo offers several additional Policy Grounds for daca rescission, most of these simply repackage legal arguments previously made. And insufficiently independent from the Agencies Evaluation of daca legality to preclude review work to support the agencies decision. An earlier opinion the court did not say dhs lacks the Constitutional Authority to rescind the program and he says it is not with this ruling either but if dhs wants to rescind the program, they have to give a rational explanation for their decision. Saying, the last guy did it wrong is in in adequate. Doing so probably amounted to criminal activity. She admitted she had a sense that manafort lied to her about where money be transferred into his Political Consu
A look at the days latest news and headlines. Conclusion from it and it is this. Watch. One denial the president is sticking to right now is that he didnt know anything about the trump tower meeting. He has to stick to that part because of he says he knew about the meeting, that almost certainly means that donald jr. Lied in front of congress and i think that that would almost certainly mean that donald junior would get indicted. I agree with dan, if the president admits that he knew about the meeting down the president did something that both ken starr, and the nixon prosecutors, archibald cox, as that was an Impeachable Offense and that is using the instruments of the government to lie to the american public. The instruments of the government would be Air Force One when he dictated the statement saying it was just about russian adoptions. So the president s knowledge is key here to drawing the president into this, but it is not key to Drawing Donald Junior In and hes already in. Sand
