Really takes on President Trump as if they are running headtohead in the general election. And today on the south lawn, as the president was leaving for iowa himself where he will give a speech on Renewable Energies and give a Campaign Style event tonight, asked the question, joe biden is going to see in the speech that you and your policies represent an accidental threat to this nation. And the president just went off on biden. Calling him basically 1 joe, not mentally very strong, wait until you hear the comments. This is a back and forth that you would not expect some 17 months out before the election. Some very spicy video just ahead for you. I dont want to give away too much, harris, you need to hear it for yourself. Harris even if we say from our own mouths, i would rather run against joe biden than anybody. I think he is the weakest mentally and i like to run against people who are weak mentally. Even if we say we dont have his tone and tenor. As you said in your own words, he w
Nbc News White House correspondent jeff bennett. Yesterday morning President Trump delivered a furious response to special counsel bob muellers remarks after the veteran Law Enforcement official took to the Justice Department podium wednesday and contradicted several claims from the president and his allies. But that didnt stop President Trump from continuing to put words in muellers mouth. He said, essentially, youre innocent. Im innocent of all charges. And, you know, the thing that nobody brings up, there was no crime. But here again is what mueller said for himself. If we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime we would have said so. The president was emphatic that there are no grounds for impeachment. Its a dirty word. The word impeach. Its a dirty, filthy, disgusting word. Its high crimes and not with or. Its high crimes and misdeamnor. There was no high crimes and no misdeamnor. Unresolved matters do remain. Besides the ten episodes documented by the
Bravado, but will it turn to actual hostility, real violence . I will talk to admiral william mckravn, the man most famous for commanding the team that got to sa ma bin laden. And whom do americans want for their next president . I will tell you the fascinating results of a poll. But first here is my perspective. Many of us have been waiting for a new moment, the point at which the challenge from china spurs america to get its act together. We may now be witnessing such a watershed, but in beijing. The Trump Administrations decision to blacklist huawei might well be chinas sputnik moment with size mick consequences. Now that it is on the american blacklist, will we lose technology . This move can only be interpreted as an attempt by the Trump Administration to kill the company, already the worlds second largest maker of smartphones. The chinese will see this as a turning point. If washington can cut china off from American Technology at will, china will be determined to build its own T
Have delayed the illegal immigration process for two weeks to see in the democrats and republicans can get together and work out a solution to the asylum and loophole problems at the southern border. If not, deportations will start. But the raids were called we were told in large because details of the plan had leaked to media. A second issue was that i. C. E. Did not have plans in place for detaining the 2,000 immigrants mainly families whom they are going to arrest and then deport. Notably it was President Trump who announced the raids in a tweet just one week ago. A threat which according to the New York Times had caught immigration officials off guard. As no major operations had been scheduled to begin. More details emerged friday in the Washington Post while a Senior Administration official tells nbc that the president also pulled back because of a sense that the administration is getting hammered in the media over this. A team of lawyers is sending a warning about the conditions
Triggered the president again today. Welcome to the lead. Im jake tapper. We begin with the politics lead. President trump going on an extraordinary tirade, even by his standards spewing a series of lies, falsehoods and misleading claims. In an apparent aim to undermine Robert Muellers remarks that made clear mueller could not exonerate the president of wrongdoing. The president s initial reaction to mueller speaking yesterday was a fairly restrained single twe tweet that attempted to turn the page. The president is so fired up hes even prone to an accidental admission of truth. In a tweet early this morning, President Trump wrote, quote, i had nothing to do with russia helping me to get elected. It was a crime that didnt exist. Russia helping me to get elected. A shocking allowance by President Trump that russia did try to help him get elected. Something the president has never said publicly before, though it is the truth, at least according to the leaders of the National Security and
