Zero mention of syria in a press conference but he has been in meeting all day trying to figure out how the u. S. Is going to respond to saturdays chemical attack in syria. Its too bad that the world puts us in a position like that. But you know as i said this morning weve done a great job with isis. Now we have to make some further decisions. They will be made fairly soon. He said they will be made fairly soon. 24 hours after addressing russia directly that a missile strike could be coming, he never said when a missile strike to take place. Could be very soon or not so soon at all. Nevertheless, the United States has done a great job of ridding the region of isis. Where is our thank you, america. Unclear to whom that question is directed. Officials tell nbc news that blood and urine samples from the victims of sir whys deadly attack on saturday tested positive for chemical weapons. One official says the government is confident the assad regime was behind the attack. Mike pompeos confi
Therefore he is well aware that theres no evidence whatsoever. In my view with all honesty, this is a fishing expedition. All this as President Trump reacts to the news that former lawyer Michael Cohen secretly recorded a conversation with him before the election where the two discuss possible payment to former playmate model that says she had affair with the president more than a decade ago. That recording among the evidence seized by the fbi during raids on cohens home and office earlier this year. We have fox team coverage, laura ingle near the president s new Jersey Golf Club but we begin with Garrett Tenney in washington. Garrett, how does Kristin Davis figure into this investigation . Well, mike roger stone has been a long person of interest in the special counsels investigation and that is the in no small part because contact with hacker group 2. 0 which was operated by russian intelligence officers, investigators have already interviewed a long list of folks with close ties wit
Reporters found two republican senators with no comment on capitol hill. And nbc news asked the first lady about the date, they did not mention in their response and prefer to talk about children and bullying. The president s legal team tells nbc news that the tape captures nothing critical. More tapes may follow. Cnn first aired the tape last night. It is from the september before the election. Karen mcdougals allegation affair with donald trump. Msnbc obtained the tape of Michael Cohens lawyer. We cant confirm if there is any editing or altering of the original. A few words before we air this tape by the way. First, there is profanity and second, there is no transcript, we can show as both sides dispute key points. Last, several discussions about various topics before cohen and trump discussed what critics have called hush money. Let me know whats happening, okay . Oh, oh, oh. Maybe it would be because of this that it is better that you did not go. Maybe get rid of this because it is
No easy matter. And today is the day Elizabeth Warren initially throws her hat into the ring in the 2020 campaign. In the buildup, she still find herself digging out from the ethnicity controversy. Will she ever get past that . Plus, this has to be a first. We find out explicit photos from the richest man to his mistress. Will jeff bezos expose the tab lite lloyd and in his state of the Union Address the president delivered what is likelying to a reelection theme, ape tacking socialism. Has that word lost its sting . Plus, harvards top astronomer upended the cosmos with his theory that this object in the milky way might be evidence of alien life. Hes here to explain it. First, accountability is the subject of the week, whether its jeff besos olding together the National Enquirer and Elizabeth Warren asked about her heritage or the many politicians fighting for survival.

America. The readers are incredibly loyal to it. People have more of a fascination with this kind of stuff. Detractors say the tabloid is ground zero for fake news. They sent me the 30,000 over the wire. This was a magazine that frankly, in many respects, should be very respected. Donald trumps run for the white house inspired a whole new series of covers. Donald trump weaponized the National Enquirer in a way that hadnt been done. Its a perfect marriage. It is a marriage made in tabloid heaven. I think the game plan was for the National Enquirer to serve as an unofficial propaganda outlet for President Trump. But the enquirer made headlines of its own when it went after jeff bezos.
