Ongoing, sketchy dangerous situation you wake up to the news one morning that your an Upper Echelon associating of lawyers other clients, the other people your lawyer is russian organized crime. Representing in this same saga, if you wake up to the news this giuliani admits hes been morning that they have just been working with him and getting his best antibiden stuff from him. Arrested and put in jail, that he also admits hes been working is not a good sign about either with paul manafort, who is a federal inmate. Your situation or your lawyer. The president s campaign but that is the situation that chairman currently serving a the president of the united sevenplus year sentence in federal prison on fraud and states woke up to this morning. Conspiracy charges.

Antisemitic thats a crowd of americans chanting send her back to a somaliborn u. S. Citizen and elected congresswoman. Ihlan omar, one of the four progressive women the president has been zeroing in on more and more as he builds out his 2020 campaign strategy. Just moments ago, what has been somewhat of a rarity, Adam Kinsinger is speaking out in fairly clear terms against the chants against omar, saying i deeply disagree with the extreme left and has been disgusted by their tone. I woke up today equally disgusted, chants like send hr back are ugly, wrong, and would send chills down the spines of our founding fathers. This ugliness must end or we risk our great union. These are not small words from a submitting congressman. Abby phillip is at the white house. I imagine the white house is not concerned, because this is a very small group of republicans willing to stand up and criticize in clear terms that kind of rhetoric. But it strikes us here as weve been covering this that this is n
Barr was supposed to be seated today for questioning from the House Judiciary Committee. We know he wont appear and thats because of a disagreement with the Committee Chairman jerry nadler over the format of this hearing. Basically nadler wanted to allow staff lawyers on the republican and democratic side to question barr for 30 minutes each after members of congress had gotten their questions in. That is something that the Justice Department said they could not agree to, so barr will not be coming before the committee today. Jerry nadler has been very clear that everything has been escalated because the Justice Department did not hand over that mueller report, the full unredacted report, despite a subpoena from the Committee Chairman yesterday, so at this point its likely that the Committee Chair will have to move to hold the attorney general in contempt of congress. Here is what jerry nadler said yesterday about his disagreements with the Justice Department. He is trying to blackmail
Its meet the press daily kwiegs. Im chuck todd here in washington ready to roll up my sleeves. Call it a clarification. Call it a backtrack. Call it even damage control. President trump is a bit on the defensive after he said hed take dirt from a foreign power if he was offered it again. Its what he said but today on fox news, he said thats not what he meant. They know how much i love this country. Nobodys going to present me with anything. Number two, if i was, of course i have to look at it, if you dont look at it, youre not going to know if its bad. How are you going to know its bad . But of course you give it to the fbi or report it to the attorney general or somebody like that. But of course you do that. Of course you do that, he said now. But why the need to backtrack . Could it be that hes nervous about the potential impeachment fallout or from members of his own party, who spoke out against him yesterday in mild tones, but they did. And its probably why hes also trying to flip
Of office, betrayal of our National Security and betrayal of the integrity of our elections. The president must be held accountable, no one is above the law. Martha s of the president of course responding many times on twitter today. He called this, in all caps, president ial harassment. Tweeted they never even saw the transcript of his call with ukrainian president. He says when that happens, all will see that it was totally appropriate. More reaction as i said from the white house in just a moment. Republican senator john kennedy and former acting attorney general Matthew Whitaker both standing by the way in this evening on all of this, but first, Democratic Congress man eric swalwell, he was in a closeddoor meeting with Speaker Pelosi just before she made this very big announcement and he sits on the house judiciary and Intelligence Committees. I was meant, thank you very much for being here. Of course, good evening, martha. Martha the president authorized the full release of the tr
