A roundup of the days events. Hillary clinton. Did ivanka know about it . The president tonight responding to his own daughters words, and abcs Kyra Phillips leading us off. Reporter they were the pictures that stunned the nation. Migrant children in detention centers, thousands of them separated from their parents by the trump administration. Today, ivanka trump speaking out for the first time, describing it as low point for her. A low point in the white house for a number of your colleagues was the kids at the border issue. What is your view of that . Yes. That was a low point for me, as well. I feel very strongly about that, and i am very vehemently against family separation. I am a daughter of an immigrant. My mother grew up in communist czech republic, but we are a
phillips, shes with us live tonight from washington. And kyra, the president reacting to ivanka trumps words today . Reporter thats right. Ivanka trump said today she doesnt believe the media is the enemy of the people,
Interviews with political figures and news updates. Theyre speaking from the same playbook. But this is a tough line to walk, andrea. Ken dilanian, you had dan coats, head of national intelligence, questioned about the dissonance there. Lets watch. In the runup to the helsinki summit, u. S. Officials, ambassadors to nato, ambassadors to russia, said that the president would raise the issue of malign activity with the president. Im not in a position to either understand fully or talk about what happened at helsinki. Ken, it does seem that dan coats and the rest of the team have still not been briefed on what happened during that private one on one. And thats remarkable, andrea. Dan coats is the nations top intelligence official. He needs to know these things, he needs to understand where the russians are coming from, and what potential negotiations took place between the president and the russian leader. This News Conference was such a fascinating mixture of cynical
meddling. Thats not
The latest news from around the world with hosts John Berman and Poppy Harlow. Reporter well, poppy, probably the headline at this point is, out of the earshot of the jury this morning, judge t. S. Ellis who is a veteran of these sometimes complex and controversial criminal cases in Eastern Virginia advised attorneys on both sides in an attempt obviously to avoid any prejudicial inferences being drawn by the jury, told attorneys on both sides to avoid, if they can, the use of the word oligarch. And thats important because some of the bosses and people in power in ukraine have been referred to as oligarchs. Obviously the meaning of oligarch is a member of a Power Structure in which the power rests with the few, as opposed to suggestion or inference that an oligarch might be a criminal. This case is the Defense Strategy and the Defense Strategy here, susan, is my client, Paul Manafort, knew nothing, did nothing wrong, hands are clean. It was all his deputy, rick gates. Thats a bold move,
News, analysis and interviews with politicians and observers. But theres no doubt the white house is watching this unfold just across the river. He was the president s Campaign Chairman at a crucial time to help get those delegates on board and make sure there wasnt a revolt at the campaign. And now if Robert Mueller didnt have any success, i think it is going to be a big success for the president because look at what hes got on the table against manafort. 18 counts of tax evasion and bank fraud, 35 potential witnesses for their prosecution, 500 pieces of evidence. Yeah, i mean, Paul Manafort is lowhanging fruit as far as this probe goes. This should be a slam dunk for Robert Mueller. If he doesnt make the basket, to belabor the metaphor, that will be an enormous fluke. The other thing i think this really draws out is donald trump know this doesnt directly
implicate him, but it does draw out hes surrounded himself essentially with crooks or at the very least very seedy people who are b
The latest Political Developments of the day and interviews with top newsmakers are featured. Can i ask you, how could he feel as though he has nothing to do with Paul Manafort . A man hes known for 30 years, has been in business with 30 years, political consultant chairman of his campaign, lived in trump tower, how can he feel that way . He feels the charges under review right now in this case have nothing to do with the Trump Campaign of 2016, with the element of collusion. He believes he is innocent, trump does. And he thinks that this is that mueller is going after manafort so aggressively, specifically to try to embarrass the president , to try to take him down, to try to harm his presidency and that the media is complicit, that were going along with it and it bothers him. It has him really angry and hes been telling that to his confidants, theyve been of course telling that to us reporters. I know there is a danger in focusing too much on logic when it comes to donald trump. But
