campaign of the trump administration is nothing short of diplomatic where fair. wow. thanks, fred. back at the nation s capital, the trump campaign has fired several pollsters as it prepares to officially kick off the president s 2020 election bid tomorrow in orlando. the latest numbers show the president trailing joe biden in 11 key states. when those results were leaked to the public, the pollsters lost their jobs. the president confronted with unfriendly facts and figures explaining them away with a familiar refrain. i don t believe those polls. there s no way he beats me in texas. even your own polls show you re behind right now, don t they? no, my polls show i m winning everywhere. we ve seen these reports, 15 out of 17 states, you spend 2 million on a pole and you re behind. on good morning america they had phony polling information. i explained it to you and you
department. number two, it would prohibit campaigns from doing what paul manafort did when he was trump s campaign manager, offering the russian, offering the power private polling information. has any republican signed on to the legislation? no but some have told me they would absolutely support. it i think it would be very difficult for republicans, if this were to be put to a vote, to say that well, there is just anything goes in america. i don t know about that, because in the senate side, mark warner proposed legislation that was similar, there are some differences yesterday that would create a duty to report if you were given information from a foreign country, on a political adversary, and marcia blackburn blocked it. so look, this is the grim reaper s problem in the united states senate. mitch mcconnell has to decide what he is going to do. we are going to protect the country. i am going to protect the country. we were going to propose this legislation. and mcconnell ca
constantine clime kalimnik. that s a very big deal. that is not just talking to a russian, that is doing something nobody in this building has ever done, conveying internal polling information to a hughesle power. we would like to know why? what were the requests? what was giving in return? obviously he s of real interest. i guess michael flynn continues to cooperate with the department of justice, but he too had all sorts of foreign contacts, not just with the russian ambassador, but with turkey, all raising possible counter-intelligence risks that we should properly understand. and to your point, there s nothing to keep these two men from sharing what they know about their campaign. congressman jim himes, thanks for joining us. joining me now is ned price, former cia analyst and former special assistant to president obama on the national security
trump tower meeting, how much did he tell his father. there were questions about whether paul manafort had relayed to him or his father any information about paul manafort passing on polling information to the russians. so all of those things. maybe we ll learn more of this at some point the testimony will be released. for now we re relying on sources who were in the meeting. i want to touch on the interview of the president with geor george stephanopoulos. if the president had said that he would not accept information he, in fact, would have been then saying his campaign did the wrong thing back in 2016? that s right. that s exactly what happened. for all of you i encourage you if you haven t read the mueller report, that s exactly what it says happened. it says that the trump campaign. was made advanced were made
sarah westwood, thank you very much. president trump said he s just an honest guys who likes to tell the truth. the president s comments on truth coming during his new interview with george stephanopoulos. they bickered about a poll showing trump trailing joe biden in texas when suddenly their conversation took an unexpected twist. well, i don t believe those polls. there is no way he beats me in texas. but even your own polls show you re behind right now. no, my polls show i m winning everywhere. we re all seen the reports that 15 out of 17 states you spent $2 million on a poll and you re behind. on good morning america they had the phony polling information and i explained it was phony and you didn t do anything about it and it was late in the evening so perhaps you didn t but why does it bother you so much? because it is untrue. i like the truth. i m actually a very honest guy. cnn editor at large and toll
