Not just a friend, just a good guy, a friend for a very long time. Thats what the president said. And the two of course do seem particularly close in photo after photo. Here they are greeting the tesla ceo, elon musk, in the state dining room as trump signs an Executive Order about the oil pipeline industry. And this, trump speaking on the phone with vladimir putin, and who is there . Steve bannon. And then when they worked together in the white house, check this out, their offices, steps apart. In fact the only person who sat closer to the president of the United States than bannon was President Trumps soninlaw, jared kushner. Even the official chief of staff, reince priebus, sat farther away from President Trump. And of course as trump knows well from his real estate days, power is all about location, location, location. Slamming bannon, though, was only part of the white house operation today. The Press Secretary tried to rip the book itself and its author, Michael Wolff. Could you
Coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Putin meeting all around us in that setting. But they are also hearing the president in very few words undercut the investigation. The president also hit some other big topics like the border wall and of course smacking the media. Heres some of the highlights. Were fixing walls all over the border. And were going to start to get very nasty over the world. Anything i want, they want to oppose. I just figured out how to do the wall. Ill say, i dont want to build the wall and theyll insist on building it. I just figured that out right now. They can make anything bad. Because they are the fake, fake disgusting news. So fake, fake disgusting was a sort of updated iteration. There was cheering and jeering at us in the work area that is
the president getting funding for the wall. Remember, a Republicanled Congress has not supported the president in funding such an endeavor. Joining me to discuss, matt miller, an Msnbc Na
Coverage of national and international news, including breaking stories. Jay sekulow on abc yesterday. Would that meeting constitute a violation of the law . And what you have is a situation and ive said this well over a year. You have to look at what laws, rules and Regulation Statutes are purportedly violated here. Hes been saying that for well over a year. Well over a year ago, he said the opposite about that meeting in trump tower. Remember, it was all about adoptions. I didnt hear anybody talk about babies this weekend. And there are some potentially relevant laws. For example, u. S. Code of federal regulations. Quote, a Foreign National shall not directly or indirectly make a contribution or a donation of money or other thing of value or expressly or impliedly promise to make a contribution or a donation in connection with any federal, state or local election. And, quote, no person shall knowingly solicit accept or
receive from a Foreign National any contribution or donation proh
Night, as laura continues her vacation. Im turning it over to my favorite person at fox, Shannon Bream she starts now. Shannon . Shannon jason, well see you tomorrow night. Thank you so much.

We all speak exclusively to a former miss america as
A recap of the days headlines and a look at whats in store for tomorrow. Executive order, the National Security exception in the Executive Order was invoked, we never had a situation where a president did it on his own, no process, no outline of what the concerns work and he just unilaterally revoked it. We dont know how the court would view this. The president suggesting we get discovery and go back through your emails and find out how much you are paid to get on different shows and other things. Is that enough to scare john brennan away from this . I dont think so. When he shows up is fairly political. If he has merit to his claim or argument to the story, there are reasons for both sides, some say the president wants to continue if it benefits them, brennan says it benefits them because as you could see, playing the role of martyr, it is unclear how this plays out because both seem to think continuing this conversation makes sense for both of them. Shannon we have this report that d
