kind of transparency. and in part, it s because he needs to be the winner and this one, when he comes out and announces things are all better with russia, as he did with north korea, as he did with nato and g7, everything is better with trump, we don t know the truth because we were not in that room. let me just ask you, because you put a lot of this in motion with your question for him. did you have any conversations with anyone after that exchange where they expressed any sort of misgivings about the answer he had given? i just want to put the moment in the truthful context, because i think this is going to be another example of the cover-up of what they tried to do today, being the brighter flashing red light for his misconduct if it turns out to be than what he said yesterday. i think it was very striking how we didn t see anyone from the white house. did you hear from anyone? no interaction afterwards. the pool held afterwards no one came in, no briefing, nothing. there
contact potential witnesses in his case and according to him, he tried to sub born them to commit perjury. now apparently he s secretly sending e-mails from jail on his laptop, the second laptop. not the personal laptop he uses in his vip living unit and work space with private telephone where he doesn t have to wear a prison uniform. you can see why when the judge ordered him transferred to a place that would be more conducive to preparing for his trial it, he might say thanks, actually, where i am it just fine. i have an extension cord and everything. here s the thing though, the judge in this case in virginia, we ve noted before that he s a little bit can tankerrous. manafort filed his motion last night saying thanks, but no thanks. actually, i d rather stay where i am. you don t need to move me. this is how the judge has responded. quote, on july 6th defendant paul manafort filed a motion to continue meaning a motion to

the market now. let s take a look. the dow dropped more than 200 points at the opening bell and u.s. and china s tit for tat on tariffs are sparking fears of an all-out trade war. let s go to alison kosik. we re seeing stocks are off their lows for the session. this escalation in trade tensions winue, it will be that white noise in the background until something certain is done. in the meantime, we ll see it underine the confidence the stock market. on july 6th, it plans to slap a 25% tariff on $50 billion this chinese exports. it is going to be targeting tech industries that matter to beijing, like aerospace, robotics, manufacturing, cars. we see beijing retaliating, it is targeting high value, american exports like soybeans, pork, cars, and crude oil. so those tariffs interestingly enough are strategic. they re hitting the states that supported trump. chinese tariffs on soybeans can
