A look at the days latest news and headlines. Own. Trial of Paul Manafort started today. And it could weigh heavy on the future and the direction of that probe and americas confidence in whether or not the socalled collusion really exists. More on all that in a moment. But first, straight away to Phil Keating Live At Trump Rally in tampa. Is he there and what is tonight all about . Good evening. Tonight is all about those two things you mention. Number one, traditional make America Great again rally and also the president is going to reiterate his very strong endorsement on republican congressman of florida ron desantis, who is in a primary battle with the agricultural secretary to become floridas next governor. By the sounds of things, it has been rock n roll pumped loudly here all day, i think steven tyler and aerosmith are going to be the last people on the p. A. Before the president is introduced because he got here about 15 minutes ago to the state fairgrounds. This has been multi

If sessions wont unrecuse and Mueller Wont Clear the president , were the only ones, which is really the danger. Thats why, i keep and thank you for saying it, by the way. We have to keep all of these seats. We have to keep the majority. If we do note keep the majority, all of this goes away. Its an astonishing remark, because thats not the job of congress. Congress responsibility is to check the president , the special counsels job is to investigate him. Its supposed to be fair and unbiased. Congress job is not there to sit there and protect a sitting president. But this is the type of thing we have heard before, to try to rile up and motivate the trump basis, that the midterms are really all about protecting the president. This election is going to be about impeachment or no impeachment. Kaitlan collins is outfront live in berkeley heights, new jersey, th
goes to motivation. we saw the when i can complaint and that thing was buttoned up. it was very tight. it was well-written by people that knew what they were doing. so then when you have this initial form that was filled out and was filled out incorrectly. it s very difficult for the whistleblower to say look, i made a mistake. i m just an ordinary civil servant. i don t know these things. i think they did that trigger the investigation knowing full well what would happen. i think it goes to credibility and also motivation. this is, again, not just somebody who is an honest public servant but somebody that had an agenda and maybe he was working i wouldn t rule it out that he was working with schiff and his staff on this. steve: that kind of coordination, would you find that troubling or keep in mind it s washington, d.c. and it s a political town and they are out to get the president. it s absolutely troubling. i mean, look, they have been after this president from the start. i mea
