I have recused myself in the matters that deal with the Trump Campaign. That statement by the Attorney General On Thursday came after the Washington Post revealed that sessions met twice last year with Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak. Sessions scrambled to clarify. In retrospect i should have slowed down, but i did meet one russian official a couple of times and that would be the ambassador. Sessions met with kislyak on july 18th, after speaking with a group of ambassadors in the Republican Convention and he met again with the Russian Ambassador at his office on september 8th, just three days after President Obama took a hard line on russian sanctions in a g20 meeting with vladimir putin. Since the election, trump and his surrogates have repeatedly denied any contacted between the campaign and russian officials. Im telling you its all phony, baloney garbage. All of the contact by the Trump Campaign and the associates was with the American People. You are not aware of any contacts dur
A recap of the days headlines and a look at whats in store for tomorrow. This friday night as we iron out this decision. Let me start with you. What they are saying is the Trump Administration didnt put up a good enough argument why this program should be disbanded but they said it never had Constitutional Authority behind president obama to start it and so why cant this president unwind it. A couple ways to digest this opinion. You can report that this judge is giving a stinging rebuke on the question of dac a itself, this was the judge on april 25th gave the government 90 days making it very clear if you articulate a solid reason for terminating at the board will listen carefully, they came forward after 90 days and the judge that you failed to articulate it but the last one is the key. This court is not holding that dhs can determine its program. You didnt give us the question. None of this will take until august 23rd, there will be a chance for appeal. Let me read the judges decisi
David Gura hosts coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Much. I want to dig into this more. Josh and lynn is joining me. Lynn, let me start with you. Geoff bennett mentioning the 27 district in new york and this is a district that sort of hugs buffalo, it is in upstate new york. And donald trump won that district by almost 25 points back in 2016. You look at the electoral record for the congressman who has announced he is suspending his campaign. Chris collins won that district 67 of the vote back in 2016. Let me put the same question to you as i put to jeff, what is the import of this as you look ahead to the midterms . It depends if he gets his name off the ballot. That is the next question we have to ask. Local authority determine the rules for elections. If his name stays on the ballot, then it might make it improbable that a democrat would be elected. After all, a long time ago when

The latest news from around the world with host Brooke Baldwin. There in alexandria, virginia. Joe, bring me up to speed on the trial at this moment. Reporter so, our question, of course, as you said at the top, brooke, is when will crossexamination begin . The assumption is its pretty close. What we do know is that the prosecution has asked a lot of questions and there was a break around, what, 2 30 p. M. Eastern time that was supposed to go until about 2 45 eastern time. The judge told the defense to keep questions and crossexamination sharply focussed. Sort of telegraphing the things to come. Now, lets talk a little bit about the last testimony we heard from rick gates. Hugely important, almost anything he says about the case. I think one of the most interesting points that was brought out by the judge at the very end of that direct
defense . Because cant the defense just say this guy is an admitted liar. This is the guy who should be on trial. And really attacking his credibility .
A weeknight look at the news, featuring interviews, analysis and Panel Discussions hosted by Bret Baier. Ahead but there are about 8,000 provisional votes that need to be counted. Can you believe how close this is . [cheers and applause] we are in a tied a ball game. For Democrat Danny Oconnor to be in a race this tight in the district, no democrat has won this in 38 years and that had him delivering wet sure sounded like a victory speech last night. You believed in us in a race that the pond and said we had no chance even being in. You proved them wrong. By getting close wont be enough to help democrats retake the house this november. They have come close and for other special elections in reliably red districts, but they have only 11 of those. They are banking on a wave of energy. Do you believe that President Trumps support is the reason you wanted . I dont believe its the full reason i want but it was deftly helpful. Our numbers really surged. President trump came in and put Troy B
