We begin this hour by the prim minister. This hour mr. Trump is scheduled to speak by phone with two more foreign leaders. The president s of indonesia and colombia after border wall and immigration travel ban. Kristin. Well, the last time that the leaders of japan and the United States played golf together was 60 years ago, president eisenhower played golf with the Prime Minister of japan back in 1957, at the time it was held as triumph of diplomacy between former world war ii enemies. Six years later the Prime Ministers grandson is playing round of golf with american president. A lot of history here. We dont know who won or what was said, but President Trump said last week, well, for that matter, press conference like the one yesterday in washington on the areas of Common Ground like President Trump pledging that they would continue to defend japan despite tough talk on the campaign trail. Perhaps suggesting otherwise, Prime Minister abe promising that the company in his country will
Are whining, complaining of President Trump daring to call them out yesterday. Lets run through some of the examples, over at nbc, chuck todd was so incensed by the press conference, he tweeted, this is not a laughing matter. Delegitimizing the press is unamerican. No, you did it to yourself, chuck paid the president is defending himself from what is an outofcontrol media bias. Somehow he is calling that unamerican . Chuck wasnt done there. He also compared trump to richard nixon. Lets watch this. A lot of this press conference had to do with the president airing grievances about the press, and weve got to remember what this is. It is a political tactic. One that is a familiar one. But he is going at it in a way we havent seen a president do since nixon and in the early . Sean chuck todd is probably upset but one of the biggest purveyors of all this fake news. Wasnt that long ago when he falsely claimed that the president s travel ban, including a religious test. That is a lie, chuck.
To say that the United States is open for business. That we now have a tax and Regulatory Environment that would be favorable for Foreign Companies to come back into the United States and for 1s here to invest more. The president tweeting this morning tremendous investment by companies all over the world being made in america. Now disney, j. P. Morgan chase. Massive regulation reduction tax cuts making us a power house again. Long way to go. Jobs, jobs, jobs. Tomorrow night, the president will host a dinner for some select European Companies companies that have a significant footprint in the United States. He will urge them to invest more as he did at the g7, the g20, aipac conferences. The president will put forward an America First agenda and the president showing earlier this week that his trade policies have teeth, slapping 30 tariff on foreign made solar panels and washing machines. The commerce secretary wilber ross talking about trade war. Not shying away from the idea. Saying t
We now know from multiple sources that Robert Mueller is zeroing in on the president s firing of james comey. Michael flynn who talked to the fbi one year ago today tried to keep the entire thing secret from the white house. That one day a year ago today really set into motion a lot of things were seeing now in terms of the obstruction of justice. There is now a incredible case of obstruction of justice against donald trump. Im not going to sit here and say there was clearly obstruction. Indicting a president of the United States on obstruction of justice isnt like going after you or me. Prosecutors will call this a head shot. You cant miss. Were waiting on a White House Press briefing, Sarah Huckabee sanders will likely face questions about the russia timeline and why president ial felt it was okay to ask who a career Civil Servant voted for. Not to mention news again but nbc news that mueller questioned firing acting attorney general sally yates, mike pompeo and mike rogers all with
Multiple counts including conspiracy, Money Laundering and acting as an unregistered foreign agent. After prosecutors hit him with another round of felony charges for a total of 31, rick gates flipped. He pleaded guilty to two charges while agreeing to cooperate and provide information to Robert Muellers team. This was a Pivotal Moment in the special counsel investigation. Rick gates who knew so much about the inner workings at the very highest levels of the Trump Campaign was now willing to spill secrets to Robert Muellers team. Cooperation agreement he just signed is probably a nightmare scenario for a number of other people. Rick gates has been potentially witness to much more than manafort saw. Rick gates becoming a cooperating witness is a big leap forward into how much of a window the Mueller Investigation is going to have in all different phases of the trump candidacy and presidency. That was february 2018. Rick gates pleading guilty and agreeing to cooperate with mueller and pr
