Crowded. Whos making it official just now and how could this change the conversation . His car door was opened. He managed to get the other gun and start shooting at me. A hero tells his story about confronting a gunman in new zealand while police go on the defense about the Response Time to the attack. Plus, a new theory of how the president could gut muellers final report, citing executive privilege. But we begin with new details in the attacks on two new zealand mosques. The number of dead has risen to 50. One additional victim was found while officials were clearing the shooting sites. Prime minister Jacinda Ardern confirms that the suspects apparent manifesto was circulated by email nine minutes before the attack. And survivors are sharing details of their ordeals. This burn mark is i look on the ground and there was a bullet right next to me, and it just skimmed my face. It didnt even skim my face. It just went by me and the heat that this. I can only imagine what people who got
What more fitting close to 1989 than a party at the berlin wall. Thousands of people have gathered at the wall, many of them armed with hammers and chisels to chip away at the remnants of a communist system that seemed to collapse overnight. This enormous celebration which was spontaneous overshadowed the official ceremony attended by the leaders of both east and west germany. President bush sent a signal to Mikhail Gorbachev today, there will be no gloating from the white house over the developments in east germany. I was in the oval office as part of a pool when the wall came down. You dont seem elated and im wondering if youre thinking of the problems. Im not an emotional kind of guy. Bush basically said in effect, im not going to poke gorbachev in the eye. President george h. W. Bush did come into his presidency in the shadow of Ronald Reagan but maybe we had elected the right man at the right time because he was as internationalist. You had had 50 years of the cold war, two vision
An eye toward the coming battles perhaps with democrats on capitol hill. Tonight donald trump talked with fox news host sean hannity about muellers investigation. He called it a scam, said it was led by treasonous people. This was an attempted takeover of our government, of our country, an illegal takeover. And if it were the other way around where i was doing it to president obama or a democrat it would be virtually the maximum sentence that you can find no matter where you look in whatever legal book. House democrats in the meantime are staking out their positions. Three lawmakers are telling nbc news that key oversight committees are exploring Legal Options including but not limited to the possibility of issuing subpoena to special counsel Robert Mueller. That would mean bypassing the attorney general william barr. Earlier today house judiciary chairman jerry nadler of new york said he spoke on the phone with the attorney general about the april 2nd deadline that democrats have set
States upon written request, the secretary of the treasury shall furnish such committee with any return with any information. The law could not be more clear, the president is talking as if it doesnt apply to him. Big surprise. Heres trump earlier today. Im under audit, but thats up to whoever it is. From what i understand, the law is 100 on my side. Hours after those remarks, the president s lawyers meads it clear that trump will fight to keep his tax returns secret from congress in a detailed letter to the Treasury Department, they wrote chairman neal cannot legally request and the irs cannot divulge the information. The ways and means has no purpose for requestings the president s tax returns and its all about scoring political points against the president. Trumps attorneys are urging the Treasury Department to get a legal opinion before allowing the president to turn over the returns. It comes after he suggested that he intends for the attorney general as if you were his attorney g
Good morning, everybody, it is wednesday, april 10th. Im yasmin vossoughian. Attorney general william barr is going to testify before the Senate Appropriations committee this morning, after yesterdays hearing before its counterpart in the house where he said the process of redacting the Mueller Report is going, quote, very well. And stood by his decision to withhold an unknown amount of its material from congress. My original timetable of being able to release this by midapril stands. So, i think from my standpoint, by within a week, i will be in a position to release the report to the public. We intend to redact information that implicates the privacy or reputational interests of peripheral players where there is a decision not to charge them. We will colorcode the excisions from the report. And we will provide explaintory. And barr issued a subpoena to the report and underlying reports of which nabler reacted. Are you intending to go to court and ask for direction and or an order whe
