mueller. he s personally shown it s getting under his skin. when asked about it, he said, no, it s not the way. he made a point to say to the lawyers that his lawyers didn t prep him and he wrote the answers to the questions all by himself. i have to point out to you, dara, this is the role of lawyers. any american would want a luier s advice if they were facing questions. the fact that he s leaving no daylight there, he s really boxing himself in on whatever he wrote. it will certainly be interesting to see what he did right. the judge has ordered the white house to restore the press pass of cnn s jim acosta. here s how the president reacted in a fox sunday interview. take a listen. we re doing that. we going to write them up right now. it s not a big deal. and if he miss dehaev.
courtroom and she s now outside. what happened inside there. kate, the judge s ruling in this case, simple and succinct. it lasted just a few minutes, in fact, but the judge ruling very clearly that the white house must immediately restore our chief white house correspondent jim acosta s hard pass. that, of course, is the pass that allows him somewhat broad access into the white house grounds. now, the judge in this case was careful to say that this was in fact a limited ruling. remember, this was just an emergency motion by cnn to get jim acosta s hard pass reinstated. the judge saying here that he wasn t ruling on the broad first amendment rights of jim acosta to be at the white house and to have that hard pass. instead, the judge ruling here that it was likely that jim acosta s due process rights were violated and also that jim acosta had suffered irreparable harm here. in particular, you know, as you ll remember, over the past week, there were multiple different explanations from

for disseminating public information that s truthful is dangerous, kate. laura, thank you so much. i mean, really a head scratcher here. joining me is cnn senior justice correspondent evan perez, chief legal analyst jeffrey toobin with me, and chris cillizza. jeffrey, it really is be careful with cut and paste. that s the message here. there s one lesson today. it s funny, and so serious, and not funny at all. how is it possible this would happen? oh, having been an assistant u.s. attorney and knowing how harried they can get, you are sometimes dealing with similar legal arguments in different cases and you would cut and paste an argument from one brief that you made into another one. i mean, i m not excusing it. it s a terrible blunder, but could i see how it happened? sure. geez louise. evan, does this mean charges are definitely coming or have already come against assange? do we know where we are right
