A look at the days latest news and headlines. Conclusion from it and it is this. Watch. One denial the president is sticking to right now is that he didnt know anything about the trump tower meeting. He has to stick to that part because of he says he knew about the meeting, that almost certainly means that donald jr. Lied in front of congress and i think that that would almost certainly mean that donald junior would get indicted. I agree with dan, if the president admits that he knew about the meeting down the president did something that both ken starr, and the nixon prosecutors, archibald cox, as that was an Impeachable Offense and that is using the instruments of the government to lie to the american public. The instruments of the government would be Air Force One when he dictated the statement saying it was just about russian adoptions. So the president s knowledge is key here to drawing the president into this, but it is not key to Drawing Donald Junior In and hes already in. Sand
A recap of the days news. A recap of the days news. A recap of the days news. Through the Revolving Door down here, theres a word that became a word i never heard of until this presidency when people were sort of struggling with how to describe this government of sort of fringe characters, people with resumes that did not usually enter into government service. And that word is chacistocracy. It points in this presidency, its been an apt way to describe it. To paraphrase donald trump, theyre not sending their best. And i think the evidence that you its not a partisan point, you laid out the evidence there of an administration that is just filled with people who have either crossed ethical
lines or challenged norms that we have all upheld for decades in this country. And all being led by the president at the top who sets that tone. Lets talk more about the swamp here, Rudy Giuliani says they have responded to muellers latest proposal regarding an interview. These allegations should be ov
A news and interview program, anchored by Erin Burnett. Client, the president , sit down with the Special Counsel. You will recall the latest proposal from mueller willing to limit the number of questions about obstruction of justice. They made clear they wanted to ask the questions in person. They want to limit the questions in person to events that happened before he was inaugurated as the president. That doesnt seem something that mueller is willing to budge on either. The president is at odds with his legal team. He believes if he gets facetoface with Robert Mueller he can prove his innocence and that that interview can bring all of this to an end. The president s legal team has made quite clear they do not think this is a good idea. They are advising their client against it. One of the president s attorneys put it best today when he said ultimately this final decision will be up to president trump. Thank you very much. At the time and we can evoke privilege. When it comes to the q
Final day of the presentation of their case against paul manafort, the president s campaign chairman, simultaneously a woman named kristin davis, who is better known in tabloid circles as the manhattan madam will be testifying tomorrow before the grand jury in d. C. , convened by the special counsels office reportedly about her relationship with Trump Campaign associate roger stone. Expect that to be an incredible tabloid scrum, if nothing else. We wont necessarily know what that legally is going to amount to for quite some time, if ever. But those two things are going to happen. One in virginia and one in d. C. , both in Federal Court tomorrow. Enjoy your morning. That does it for us tonight. Now it is time for The Last Word with lawrence odonnell. You just made the day of every Hollywood Screen writer who is dreaming of some day getting the assignment for the miniseries of the robert
mueller investigation, that there will come a day when the manhattan madam has to walk on to the set
A recap of the days headlines and a look at whats in store for tomorrow. But i had said earlier today that if its 2 or less, republicans are going to be talking in a back room and theyre worried. Byron said theyre worried. They know this is a tough midterm coming up, and i agree with him. And it absolutely is for the president in power. Theres no question about that. Very few acceptation. As we wait to see balderson take the stage, i want to ask you quickly, todd, about this, the rnc said it would have made a big difference to have a president on the ballot. They say the special elections are different. Heres rnc chair. I think these special elections are called special elections for a reason. Theres only two candidates on the ballot. Turnout is a huge issue in august in ohio, the week before school starts. Turning out that vote is going to be critical. And i will tell you, President Trump would win this district today and he would win it in november. What do you think, todd . This is
